It's not even about the money - it was a $4 difference, but to have the owner actually scoff in your face is where I draw the line. I was spending $248 in the store, and he was not willing to budge on his position, scoffed at me, and walked away to hide in the back. I put back over $60 worth of other merchandise due to his attitude. Already ordered the items that I put back off amazon for cheaper and they show up tomorrow. Attitude is important, and today it cost you a bit of money and a negative review. Will not be returning

I've heard a lot about this new store from my friends and decided to give it a try. I have been to…read moreother mid to high-end boutiques in Europe and, to be honest, I didn't expect to see anything even close to those European stores that I visited. To my huge surprise, this store impressed as soon as I stepped in. Very bright and stylish and at the same time inviting and comfy. You can see the store owners put a lot of work and love in this place. In addition to the store design, I was taken aback with the clothes selection and how it's tastefully organized on the rack and the shelves. Kudos to Natalie and Maria! And what a service! These girls treated me as VIP and for this short period of time I was given some beautiful choices for outfits and also the style that would suite me the best. It's definitely not your ordinary store. I'll be back for more shopping! Christina

Still Life is a boutique that has been around since '84, but has totally revamped in terms of…read moreoffering more of local designers in '07 when the ownership changed. They offer clothing, shoes, accessories, and clothing for both men and women, and the selection is pretty large! Brands include Storm & Marie, Filippa K, Sunja Link, and OSC. After a recent trip to Canada, I've been kind of super obsessed with some Canadian brands and want to hoard some more - there was one designer (Sunja Link) that I really fell in love with, but her new pieces are always out of stock or sold out completely within days! Still Life came to the rescue when they had a certain item in a different color that I was eyeing on, so I snagged it. They were also having some great sales, so I was able to purchase a winter jacket (OSC) as well! I also love that you can count on the fact that the pieces that you receive will be of high quality and made extremely well. I loved the super great deals, the semi-quick shipping (there was a little snafu in terms of getting the package to me, but I just need to request a signature authorization the next time), the careful shipment/packaging, as well as the great customer service follow-up (a representative actually reached out see if I received my order and if everything was of perfect quality!). If you're looking for independent and awesome local Canadian designer goods, check Still Life out! :D +great selection of Canadian designer goods +great customer service! +occasional deals and sales

I was feeling a bit blue because it has been a long and hard pandemic and nothing fits me. After an…read moreafternoon shopping and not finding anything, I walked into this shop and I was very hopeful because everything looked really cute from the get-go. I was looking to buy a few new items. I am also very cognizant that we are in a global pandemic and I have been sanitizing my hands and wearing a mask consistently. I do have an autoimmune issue, so I am aware. I am not the type of person who ignores public health mandates, but I was just so excited to be in this store I didn't see the hand sanitizer to the right as I walked in. AS soon as I started looking, like maybe I had been in the shop for about 5 seconds, this lady storms over to me and loudly demands I use the sanitizer. It was just so abrupt and really rude and embarrassing, I couldn't even respond. Her tone was so off-putting and made me feel like I was absolute trash. I worked in boutiques in New York for years in my 20s and waited tables as a college student and as a graduate student. I never spoke to people like this. Ever. It was clear to me by her really abrasive attitude that I didn't belong in that store so I sanitized my hands and left literally in tears.

Dear Eddie, You're…read morestill relevant and I like you... Sincerely a new rewards member... Eddie Bauer is a brand a lot of people know, however what they don't know is the quality of clothing is very worth the price (usually quite pricey)... however that said the EB in V BC CAND has some of the best deals I've seen across North America... their clearance section is quite fetching as you can find unique pieces of quality and comfort especially with Forest as your amazing sales guide. We stopped in recently mostly to window shop and browse, but found a few items between us during our trip to add to our wardrobe and practical attire list... in the rapid winds of the weekend. SALES ranging from 30 to 50% off with final prices barely breaking the $30 mark (CAN) /barely above $20 (US). Overall between William ringing me up with his inviting demeanor and friendliness to our buddy Forest on the floor and taking care of my travel mates from start to finish... this is definitely a store we recommend you giving a chance.

This location has a nice selection and the sales associate who assisted us was very helpful and friendly. Despite his efforts, we were unable to convince Mr. to get a fun color layering t-shirt to accompany his long sleeve denim top, but the lively discussion created quite a laugh amongst local shoppers who were listening in.While neither of us are regular shoppers at Eddie Bauer, it is a go to store for select items. In the instance, longer length jeans led us here. Our visit to this store was quite memorable. Through a less than ideal incident, we met several nice people, received lots of recommendations and snagged a few nice casual pieces.
