Tiny, perfect indie designer shop in the Exchange District in Winnipeg, an area that I have only…read morestarted to explore and love. We met the gorgeous couple who hand-make the gorgeous jewelry sold under the Dconstruct name at the Winnipeg Folk Fest, and then got to visit their shop and atelier in town. They've got their whole families involved making modern lovely pieces, and everything feels made with care and packed with love. My favourites are the pendants made of cement with rose gold, super stunning and like nothing else I've really seen. They also stock a small but beautifully curated collection of independent designer fashion for women, including Eve Gravel from Montreal whose dresses just keep getting better and better, and some stylish t-shirts and tops. They have some art and cards for sale and a number of other treasures in the tiny space. Definitely go say hi if you are in the area. This little designer shop perfect for gift giving and for buying that one piece that everyone will ask you about and then you can say casually "Oh this, i got it in Winnipeg!" And it will sound terribly exotic.

Great Product, Great Customer Service…read more A few months ago I had purchased a pair of beautiful and unique looking concrete cufflinks for my boyfriend from a boutique distributor in NYC. After attending an event he was devastated to find that one cufflinks had been lost and the boutique no longer sold them. While researching concrete cufflinks online I found Dconstruct and called and spoke to Trish who was able to verify that the cuffs were originally from Dconstruct. Even though Dconstruct does not still currently offer the exact combination of color concrete and gold of the original pair, Trish was able to get an identical replacement pair and send them to us, completely as a curtesy. This level of kindness and commitment to ones customers really stands out. I am so deeply appreciative to Trish and the team at Dconstruct. I am also very excited to have found them because they have great products and I'm definitely looking as I shop for unique gifts my loved ones (and myself).

Hands down best customer service and best Jeweller in Winnipeg. I have a custom engagement ring…read morethat I couldn't find a matching wedding band. I had Roger Watson Jewellers do a custom wedding band and the result was amazing and sooo fast. I was panicking since my wedding was fast approaching and I thought I had run out of time to do something custom. John Watson came to my rescue! My engagement ring and wedding band match perfectly and everyone thought it was a matching set. The size/quality of the diamonds matched absolutely perfect. The best part is everything is done in house on Osborne Street. They have an in house goldsmith, in house jeweller, so nothing is sent away, it's all done locally right in their store. If you are looking to do a custom piece, have something repaired or resized, or need appraisals on vintage pieces for insurance definitely go to Roger Watson Jewellers. Excellent friendly honest customer service. I even learned a few things about different metals and diamond/stone quality.

They carry a unique mix of vintage dresses, work-appropriate basics, and gorgeous accessories. The store is nicely organized, making it easy to browse and admire the amazing clothing. Not only is the selection great, but the prices are amazing! I was surprised every time I looked at a clothing tag because it was at least $20 less than I expected the item to cost. Maybe I'm just used to the price gouging that occurs in Vancouver. My friend bought two gorgeous dresses for less than $150, both of which were great finds. I ended up buying a pair of socks from Blue Q and a nice pair of black bamboo leggings for less than $40. If you love dresses and unique clothing, definitely shop local at Out of the Blue!

Staff are super friendly and kind. Just an update for those who like gifts that matter They are selling the cutest wooden houses in support of mental health . All the proceeds go the maker which is really amazing. They have a map of Manitoba and come with a little star so you can place your town on the map. For 15-20 dollars they are a steal and will look super cute in my kitchen. The staff said you can email the maker for custom provinces. I think they would make a great gift for a great cause.

My order of batik fabric that I ordered from Keystone Modern Creative, with an expected delivery…read moredate of May 21st, arrived today on the 17th! Amazing! My fabric was double bagged, neatly folded and even wrapped with pretty ribbon! I was beyond thrilled, and all of the fabrics are beautiful, and lovely quality! I had planned on including a photo but am unable to paste it in. Believe me it is gorgeous! Leslie included a thank you note and I am really impressed with the amazing service. I am probably what would be considered a customer from hell, as I am trying to build my stash and ordered 1/2 meters of all my selections. So much work for poor Leslie! I strongly recommend Keystone to anyone looking for quality fabrics at great prices. I would have paid more at my local shops. I will definitely shop here again!

The new store is deeper so there's more space to showcase the jewellery, clothes, bags and scarves and other accessories. There's lots of unique pieces and there is a huge price range so you can easily find a nice gift for yourself or someone else. There's also a lot of different styles available too from cute, professional, funky, trendy etc. They have a small section for men but I didn't see many cufflinks, something they use to carry more abundantly in the past. Service is friendly and laid back as I never feel like there's pressure to buy, which can happen in these smaller boutiques. Oh and they have a pretty good exchange policy if the item doesn't work out. The only downside is that there's no return so you will be stuck with a credit note.

I started buying her clothes in Edmonton at the Butterdome Christmas sale. She often sells in similar venues. I always get comments on her clothing. Service is excellent and personal. They are like friends. Came to Winnipeg on business and wanted to get one jacket- left w dress, two jackets, top and leggings. I'm weak when it comes to clothes that can be dressed up or down, pack like a dream and are washable. These pieces last forever.
