	NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	Nature of operations
	lululemon athletica inc., a Delaware corporation ("lululemon" and, together with its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company") is engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of healthy lifestyle inspired athletic apparel, which is sold through a chain of corporate-owned and operated retail stores, direct to consumer through e-commerce, showrooms, a network of wholesale accounts, outlets and warehouse sales. The Company's primary markets are the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, where 201, 57, 25, five, and one corporate-owned store(s) were in operation as of November 2, 2014, respectively. There were a total of 289 and 254 corporate-owned stores in operation as of November 2, 2014 and February 2, 2014, respectively.
	Basis of presentation
	The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of November 2, 2014 and for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2014 and November 3, 2013 are presented using the United States dollar and have been prepared by the Company under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In the opinion of management, the financial information is presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and, accordingly, does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The financial information as of February 2, 2014 is derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2014, included in Item 8 in the fiscal 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2014. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are in the opinion of management necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
	The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to January 31 of the following year, typically resulting in a 52 week year, but occasionally giving rise to an additional week, resulting in a 53 week year. Fiscal 2014 will end on February 1, 2015 and will be a 52 week year.
	The Company's business is affected by the pattern of seasonality common to most retail apparel businesses. Historically, the Company has recognized a significant portion of its gross profit in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year as a result of increased sales during the holiday season.
	Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the financial presentation adopted for the current year.

	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
	In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amended ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements ("ASC 205") and ASC Topic 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment ("ASC 360") to change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations. The amendments also require new disclosures about discontinued operations and disposals of components of an entity that do not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The amendments in this update are effective for all disposals of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted these amendments in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 with no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605 Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. This guidance requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, and expands the related disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective for public companies for years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and early application is not permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.
	In June 2014, the FASB amended ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation ("ASC 718") for share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target can be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. This guidance is effective for public companies for years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2015, and early application is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.
	In August 2014, the FASB amended ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern ("ASC 205-40") to provide guidance on management's responsibility in evaluating for each reporting period whether there is substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued and about related footnote disclosures. This amendment is effective for all entities for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter, and early application is permitted. The Company early adopted this amendment in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 with no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

	Stock-based compensation plans
	The Company's employees participate in various stock-based compensation plans, which are provided by the Company directly.
	Stock-based compensation expense charged to income for the plans was $5,382 and $12,453 for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2014 and November 3, 2013, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost for all stock-based compensation plans was $29,424 at November 2, 2014, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years.
	Company stock options, performance-based restricted stock units, restricted shares and restricted stock units
	A summary of the Company's stock option, performance-based restricted stock unit, restricted share and restricted stock unit activity as of November 2, 2014 and changes during the thirty-nine week period then ended is presented below:
		Stock Options				Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units			Restricted Shares			Restricted Stock Units

	Exercisable at November 2, 2014	368		$	22.67
	The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and the Company's historical experience. The expected term of the options is based upon historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration for expectations of future employee behavior. Expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility of the Company's common stock for the period corresponding with the expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the period corresponding with the expected term of the options. The following assumptions were used in calculating the fair value of stock options granted in fiscal 2014:
		Stock Options Granted During
		Fiscal 2014
	Expected term	4.0 years
	Expected volatility	45.93	%
	Risk-free interest rate	1.04	%
	Dividend yield	—	%
	The Company's performance-based restricted stock units are awarded to eligible employees and entitle the grantee to receive a maximum of 1.5 shares of common stock per performance-based restricted stock unit if the Company achieves specified performance goals and the grantee remains employed during the vesting period. The fair value of performance-based restricted stock units is based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the award date. Expense for performance-based restricted stock units is recognized when it is probable that the performance goal will be achieved.
	The fair value of the restricted shares and restricted stock units is based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the award date.
	Employee stock purchase plan
	The Company's Board of Directors and stockholders approved the Company's Employee Share Purchase Plan ("ESPP") in September 2007. Contributions are determined by eligible employees, subject to certain limits as defined in the ESPP, and the Company matches one-third of that amount. The maximum number of shares available under the ESPP is 6,000 shares. During the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2014, there were 37 shares purchased under the ESPP in the open market.

	Diluted earnings per share	$	0.42	$	0.45	$	0.88	$	1.16
	The Company's calculation of weighted-average shares includes the common stock of the Company as well as the exchangeable shares. Exchangeable shares are the equivalent of common shares in all material respects. All classes of stock have in effect the same rights and share equally in undistributed net income. For the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2014 and November 3, 2013, 369 and 63 stock options, respectively, were anti-dilutive to earnings per share and therefore have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.
	On June 11, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock up to an aggregate value of $450,000. The common stock is to be repurchased in the open market at prevailing market prices, with the timing and actual number of shares to be repurchased depending upon market conditions and other factors. The program is expected to be completed by June 2016. During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2014, 1,839 and 3,261 shares, respectively, were repurchased under the program at a total cost of $74,461 and $130,266, respectively. Subsequent to November 2, 2014, and up to December 8, 2014, 326 shares were repurchased at a total cost of $14,019.

No. 9039-VCP (Del. Ch.) under 8 Del. C.

The Court held a one-day trial on February 19, 2014, which took the form of an oral argument. On April 2, 2014, the Court rejected the majority of books and records sought by plaintiff and ordered the Company to produce a narrow category of documents relating to one trade made by the Company's former Chairman. On June 11, 2014, the Court consolidated this action with the action captioned Hallandale Beach Police Officers and Firefighters' Personnel Retirement Fund v. lululemon athletica inc., C.A. No. 8522-VCP (Del. Ch.), which is described below. On June 13, 2014, Plaintiffs filed a Motion to Enforce the Court's April 2, 2014 Telephonic Rulings and Compel in Camera Inspection of Withheld and Redacted Documents. The Court held a hearing on the Motion to Enforce on December 1, 2014 and the judgment on the Motion remains pending. The Company believes there is no merit to the Motion.
	On August 12, 2013 and August 23, 2013, plaintiffs Thomas Canty and Tammy Federman filed shareholder derivative actions entitled Canty v. Day, et al., No. 13-CV-5629 (S.D.N.Y.) and Federman v. Day, et al., No. 13-CV-5977 (S.D.N.Y.). Plaintiffs allege that they are acting on behalf of the Company and name as defendants current and former directors and certain officers of the Company. On January 17, 2014, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, operative in both actions. In that amended complaint, plaintiffs challenge certain public disclosures and conduct relating to the March 2013 sheer Luon issue, the June 2013 announcement regarding the resignation of the Company's former CEO, Christine Day, and certain stock trades executed by Mr. Wilson and Ms. Day in the months leading up to that announcement. Plaintiffs allege violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, and gross mismanagement. On April 9, 2014, the Court dismissed all of plaintiffs' claims due to plaintiffs' failure to make a pre-suit demand. On May 9, 2014, plaintiff in the Canty action filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The Company believes there is no merit to the appeal.
	On July 2, 2013, plaintiff Houssam Alkhoury filed a putative shareholder class action entitled Alkhoury v. lululemon athletica inc., et al., No. 13-CV-4596 (S.D.N.Y.) against lululemon, a certain director and a certain officer of the Company (collectively, "Defendants"). On October 1, 2013, the Court appointed Louisiana Sheriffs' Pension & Relief Fund as Lead Plaintiff and on November 1, 2013, Lead Plaintiff filed a consolidated class action complaint on behalf of a proposed class of purchasers of lululemon stock between September 7, 2012 through June 11, 2013 (the "Complaint"). In its Complaint, Lead Plaintiff asserted causes of action under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against Defendants based on certain public disclosures made by the Company relating to lululemon's product quality and the March 2013 sheer Luon issue. On January 15, 2014, Lead Plaintiff filed a consolidated amended class action complaint (the "Amended Complaint") on behalf of a proposed class of purchasers of lululemon stock between September 7, 2012 through January 10, 2014. In its Amended Complaint, Lead Plaintiff added new claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on certain of lululemon's public disclosures related to the Company's ongoing quality control improvements and the impact of those improvements on the Company's financial results. On April 18, 2014, the Court dismissed all of Lead Plaintiff's claims for failure to state a claim. On May 16, 2014, Lead Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The Company believes there is no merit to the appeal.
	On May 3, 2013, plaintiff Hallandale Beach Police Officers and Firefighters' Personnel Retirement Fund filed a books-and-records action in the Delaware Court of Chancery entitled Hallandale Beach Police Officers and Firefighters' Personnel Retirement Fund v. lululemon athletica inc., C.A. No. 8522-VCP (Del. Ch.) under 8 Del. C. Sec. 220 based on a demand letter it sent to the Company on April 17, 2013 to request certain lululemon records relating to the March 2013 sheer Luon issue and revisions to the Company's executive bonus plan. The Company moved to dismiss the complaint on May 28, 2013. On June 14, 2013, plaintiff sent a supplemental demand letter that requested additional records from the Company relating to the Company's announcement that Christine Day intended to resign as the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and certain stock trades executed by the Company's then-Chairman, Mr. Wilson, prior to the Company's announcement regarding Ms. Day. On July 1, 2013, plaintiff filed an amended complaint to incorporate allegations relating to the June 14, 2013 supplemental demand letter. The Company moved to dismiss the amended complaint on August 15, 2013, and in response to this filing, plaintiffs served the Company with a new demand letter and then filed a second amended complaint on November 4, 2013. The Company moved to dismiss the second amended complaint on December 4, 2013 and the Court held argument on the motion on February 5, 2014. On April 2, 2014, the Court rejected the majority of books and records sought by plaintiff and ordered the Company to produce a narrow category of documents relating to one trade made by the Company's former Chairman. On June 11, 2014 the Court consolidated this action with the action captioned Laborers' District Council Construction Industry Pension Fund v. lululemon athletica inc., C.A. No. 9039-VCP (Del. Ch.) which is described above. On June 13, 2014 Plaintiffs filed a Motion to Enforce the Court's April 2, 2014 Telephonic Rulings and Compel in Camera Inspection of Withheld and Redacted Documents. The Court held a hearing on the Motion to Enforce on December 1, 2014 and the judgment on the Motion remains pending. The Company believes there is no merit to the Motion.
	The Company has indemnification agreements with certain of its current and former officers and directors that may require it, among other things, to indemnify such current or former officers and directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.
	The Company is unable at this time to predict the amount of its legal expenses associated with these proceedings and any settlement or damages associated with these matters. In the event that the Company is unsuccessful in its defense, or if the Company pursues settlement with regard to any of these actions, the Company could be required to pay significant final settlement amounts and/or judgments that exceed the limits of its insurance policies or the carriers may decline to fund such final settlements and/or judgments, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and liquidity. Regardless of whether any of the claims asserted against the Company in these actions are valid, or whether the Company is ultimately held liable, such litigation may be expensive to defend and may divert resources away from the Company's operations and negatively impact earnings. Further, the Company may not be able to obtain adequate insurance to protect it from these types of litigation matters or extraordinary business losses.
	In addition to the legal matters described above, the Company is, from time to time, involved in routine legal matters incidental to its business. The Company believes the ultimate resolution of any such current proceeding will not have a material adverse effect on its continued financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

	SEGMENT REPORTING
	The Company applies ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting ("ASC 280"), in determining reportable segments for its financial statement disclosure. The Company reports segments based on the financial information it uses in managing its business. The Company's reportable segments are comprised of corporate-owned stores, direct to consumer and other. Direct to consumer represents sales from the Company's e-commerce websites. Showroom sales, sales to wholesale accounts, outlet sales and warehouse sales have been combined into other. The Company has reviewed the classification of its expenses amongst its reportable segments and has updated the classification of some of these expenses. Accordingly, all prior year comparable information has been reclassified to conform to the current year classification. Information for these segments is detailed in the table below:

	Basis of presentation
	The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of November 2, 2014 and for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2014 and November 3, 2013 are presented using the United States dollar and have been prepared by the Company under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In the opinion of management, the financial information is presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and, accordingly, does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The financial information as of February 2, 2014 is derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2014, included in Item 8 in the fiscal 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2014. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are in the opinion of management necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
New accounting pronouncements	'
	In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amended ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements ("ASC 205") and ASC Topic 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment ("ASC 360") to change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations. The amendments also require new disclosures about discontinued operations and disposals of components of an entity that do not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The amendments in this update are effective for all disposals of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted these amendments in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 with no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605 Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. This guidance requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, and expands the related disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective for public companies for years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and early application is not permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.
	In June 2014, the FASB amended ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation ("ASC 718") for share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target can be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. This guidance is effective for public companies for years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2015, and early application is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.
	In August 2014, the FASB amended ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern ("ASC 205-40") to provide guidance on management's responsibility in evaluating for each reporting period whether there is substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued and about related footnote disclosures. This amendment is effective for all entities for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter, and early application is permitted. The Company early adopted this amendment in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 with no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
