Caban was a design-oriented furniture, tabletop, home accessories, bed and bath and apparel retailer in Canada. Caban was launched by Club Monaco as its lifestyle brand in October 2000, in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, with locations opening later in Calgary and Edmonton. Caban established itself as an innovative and unique retailer, with a distinctive product mix and presentation philosophy. The result was a modern, edited collection of product that reflected good design.
Caban was an offspring of Club Monaco, and Joe Mimran, who was the founder of Club Monaco. In 2000, just after the launch, Club Monaco/Caban was purchased by Ralph Lauren, and began to lose focus and Mr. Mimran was ousted. In the summer of 2006, Ralph Lauren Corp. closed all of the Caban stores to focus on the Club Monaco in the United States. The last store to close was the flagship store on Queen St. West in Toronto.
Caban opened its first lifestyle concept store in Montreal in the historical landmark Laurentian Bank building located at 777 St. Catherine Street (corner of McGill College) Saturday, December 9, 2000. It closed the branch in 2006, after which Banana Republic opened its flagship Quebec store.
