I had a really fun time shopping here!…read more I was in Parksville for a conference at Tigh-Na-Mara. We had just driven in from a few days in Tofino, and I realized I hadn't really packed anything too appropriate for a conference with my coworkers and colleagues. Oops. Emergency dress shopping time! Sometimes, I am afraid to step foot into adorable boutiques, because I am borderline plus-size and often feel like I'm being judged a la Pretty Woman in this type of shop. This was a refreshing experience! The owner helped me pick out lots of adorable things to try on, most of them fit, and I ended up with two fabulous dresses that are now wardrobe regulars, as well as the most comfortable pair of bamboo leggings I could have ever imagined. I strongly considered going back after the conference to buy them in different colors and lengths. I had to hold myself back from all the gorgeous accessories and jewelery on offer, but it did make me a little sad. This boutique would be right at home in Victoria - the fact that I found it up in unassuming little Parksville with an amazing owner with a flair for stocking fabulous things just puts it right over the top for me.

Sign is out, open sign on. just off my plane ready for some retail therapy. I call out "hello?' After about 3 full minutes the retail clerk shows up. I wait near the door because in Vancouver its bad form to burst into a shop without offering to check your bags (I assume the shoplifters are as bad if not worse here. I'm like "wow! I can't wait to have a quick shop. I'll just set my bags down here" my bags have viable harbour air laptop tags and I'm carrying a, albeit quiet, luxury handbag. Oh and wearing cute new furry moon boots. I was a bit wet from the showers outside. But it would be a very huge stretch to think I was transient/homeless. Regardless of what class or financial situation a person is, I would want my.retail front line representation to treat all visitors with respect and to serve all visitors until the time we close as advertised.. That said, our associate responds to me "Nope I'm going to start cashing out amd cleaning up, come back tomorrow" I look at my phone and say (respectfully) "it's 5:54pm, looks like I've got 5 mins to check it out after all ha-ha!" He's like, "sorry I'm already closed' and grabs the sign and carries it in. So I was totally insulted, tbe way he looked at me and the snobby face he made...I felt..judged? So I respond "you know I have 5 bills on me right now and prob would have spent it !?" (My husband would be late to pick me up so we decided I would wait for him at the local "casino nanaimo" down the street So I being the gambler I am, loaded up on cash before heading to the plane) I guess that offended him as he responds angrily: "if you are going to be like that. Don't you EVER come back" I'm like bewildered, disappointed "???woah man, slow down, really,?" He marches in angrilly fussing with his sign. Bangs the door closed and audibly locks it saying nothing. Wow. All I can say is if you are this stores manager or owner PLEASE reprimand. Your future clientele is NOT in good hands. Check cameras, every word of this is true Wed Oct 30th 5;55pm guy was wearing a blazer and had a big frizz/back-combed hair do.

They carry a diverse selection of clothes, hats, shoes, wallets, bags and bathing suits from brands like Obey, Sitka, Brixton and Tom's. The prices are amazing and I often find great, unique pieces here that I don't find anywhere else. The store itself is super inviting and is a beautiful space, the staff are always helpful and welcoming. Whenever I visit I always feel genuinely welcomed and never feel pressure to buy. They are always really good to their customers, its an absolute pleasure shopping at Lucid, I wish we had more places like this in Victoria!

There are lots of beautiful clothes in this store however the sales pressure is so high, I am not…read moregoing to shop there again. I told one of the sales women (I think she was the manager) over and over that I didn't want to try on a certain item, yet she brought the item to my dressing room and hung it on my dressing room rack anyway (are you kidding me?!). I eventually bought an item that was too snug for me and took it home, only to have to return it after I came to my senses. Now I have a store credit I have to use (no refunds) so I will have to go back, if only to use up the cost of my folly listening to someone who was only interested in selling me something, not whether or not it looked good on me. Thank goodness for one of the other sales consultants who ran interference with the manager, so I didn't have to tell her over and over - No, thank you. Once should have been enough. I have heard the same thing from other women who have shopped there.
