I cannot tolerate the saleswomen here, they are constantly in my ear buzzing about how beautiful the merchandise are. If they were all beautiful, I wouldn't need to browse through it all would I?
I first came here with Belinda, and then I made secret visits on my own when I needed to find something for the women over the age of 30 in my life.
The floorspace is set up like a proper closet space, and that's all I got to say about the decor. It's appropriate for the type of business, and a pleasure to sort from one end to the other, rifling through their merchandise. If only it could be done without constant supervision from the staff..
I have no idea where most of the stuff here are from, probably not Canadian.
It's very expensive, there's no way around that. North America has this idea that if the target market are middle aged career women, that somehow they should be overcharged up the purse strap for anything, as long as it's not sold in a mall.
I know what things are worth, and I have trouble paying the prices that are marked on the labels, knowing that the margins are freaking astronomical.
To put things into perspective, an evening gown is the same price as two-three flawless loose diamond stones sold in Vietnam. The location of diamond being sold does not implicate the value of the diamond, but rather the stupidity of the people there, and their willingness to pay for it.
Although diamonds are my least favourite gemstone, I'd rather have diamonds than a piece of silk.
It does offer a comfortable shopping experience, as long as in the end you do shop for the things you try on. It's located at the Hazelton Lanes, just far enough from Yorkville to achieve privacy from window shoppers.
Mothers and their daughters, that's all you'll find here. I have never seen another man at Georges Rech. The dresses here are unspectacular, not worth the price tag. But there are some good pieces of clothing, and it's not all dresses.
If I like something I'll pay whatever the price for it, this isn't the place where I end up doing that.
Let's step up the merchandise George, because it's not only about 'Reching' in the cash. read more
