This is a busy place. Great for hemming pants. Today was my second trip back for a seemingly…read moresimple take in at the back of a pair of athletic pants. The first time I went- although they were in the pick up area, nothing had been done. Tried them on again, the lady pinned them. Today I went back again, when i tried them on the area had not been taken in enough. Maybe it is the simple pinning with safety pins? Anyway after a second trip, they were still not correct. It is quite a trip to get there and now I have to go a third time. There was no acknowledgment or even a hint of an apology. I am very disappointed, it is not a good deal if you have to keep on going back multiple times.

I used to come to Gar Fong all the time when I lived in Victoria. And they were considerably less…read morebusy. I seldom had issues. I'm finding that they are now so very busy, that they are rushing, and the quality is no longer there. I'm not sure that the pinning of garments is done in a manner that the people who are actually doing the sewing in the back can understand what they're supposed to be doing. They over promise readiness date and under deliver ... so you're getting items several days after their promised date. Very disappointed

I spoke to a few people there and they were all really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. My boyfriend was perusing their selection of Rolex and Omega watches. I ended up trying on a diamond necklace that I just fell in love with. I also saw that they had a gorgeous selection of engagement rings, which I wanted to try on, but restrained myself so as not to scare the boyfriend! We ended up buying a present for my mom, which I'm sure she'll love. The next time I'm in Victoria, I will make a note to drop by and see what else they have in store.

We spent about an hour picking individual beads for our matching bracelets and putting them together. The workers helped us create a more complicated closure on our bracelets for about $4 each (it is worth it to be able to slide the strings to tighten and un-tighten the bracelets!). Each bracelet costed us almost $12 which is a small price to pay for one of my favourite souvenirs and a fantastic date!
