Holt Renfrew (colloquially Holt's) is a chain of high-end Canadian department stores. It is comparable to Barneys New York and Saks Fifth Avenue in the United States, and to two other upmarket chains owned by the same family, Britain's Selfridges and Ireland's Brown Thomas. Once the "Furrier-in-Ordinary" to Queen Victoria, the chain began in 1837 as a hat shop in Quebec City.
