Quorum, absolutely no problem. Took there time to walk us through the process, select the fabrics (yes you get to choose your lining and what you would like monogrammed in it) and come back for the first fitting when it came back from Italy. Absolutely gorgeous. Worth every cent.

The quality of their clothing is excellent, shipped from Italy. They learn what their customers like and what suits them and help you put an outfit together. Their newsletter is fabulous, Carlos puts it together with Michael so you're kept up to date with what they have in stock. They will also modify anything you buy to fit as they have really good in house tailors. This is a family run business that gives outstanding service and should be regularly supported in every way. You simply do not get this type of service anywhere else anymore!

I got lost in the racks of gorgeous items - and ended up purchasing TWO incredible pieces. One a longer than floor length high waisted pleated a-line style skirt and a jersey style comfortable skirt with a high slit in the front. These two pieces were on sale and an absolutely steal! So classy and elegant. This store is awesome and filled to the brim with unique pieces made for a lady with an adventurous soul! So pleased I stopped in!!

Upon entering, I was amazed at the talent of the local designers' work. There are some beautifully tailored pieces made with high quality material/fabrics throughout the shop. I can't really afford much of the clothing right now because I am a student. However, I will be coming back again and again because of the jewelry. I am in love with the vintage reworks by the various local designers. Lots of the jewelry are one-of-a-kind and handmade. I bought 2 necklaces: one for $32 (on sale, regular $40), and one for $38. I'd say these prices are fair. The owner is awesome. She's extremely knowledgeable, talkative and friendly with everyone that comes in. She isn't pushy and you can tell that local fashion is her passion. If you are unable to attend the city's local craft markets, then this is the place to be! I plan on taking a peak at Little Dream on Granville Island very soon! I have a feeling Dream is just a taste of the one-of-a-kind stuff. There must be more at the other location!

What can I say, I like being stylish :) and supporting local artists. Adhesif has a very distinctive style that I appreciate both on an aesthetic and on a good-for-the-environment level, as all of the pieces are made out of other items of clothing. You might also find some cute buttons/broaches and hair pieces here. The prices are for handmade, so they may be higher than you're going to find elsewhere, but you can also wait for "Nifty for Fifty" which is a sale that the owner hosts every spring. It features lots of independent designers, including Adhesif, and everything is under $50. The only downside to this store is that it's very specific. Luckily, Forysa is next door so you can get in more shopping and browsing than if you were to make a trip specifically for Adhesif.

Then I found Adhesif Clothing and Melissa and my wardrobe and views of fashion and fear of colour have completely changed - and only for the best. Melissa - the owner - has an amazing eye for style and brings unique and colourful pieces of fabrics together - mostly from salvaged, vintage clothing that she has creatively reworked into awesome, colourful and one of a kind pieces. Her enthusiasm and willingness to share her knowledge of fashion and style and her brilliant pieces have transformed my once boring wardrobe into one that is exciting and vibrant. Even my husband comments on my new-found style and each morning my mother must see what 'Adhesif' piece I may be wearing. She says I have such beautiful clothes and I agree. I am thrilled with every 'Adhesif' piece I own! I find that I rarely leave the house without at least one 'Adhesif' item. Each of the pieces I have collected builds on the other and the colour palette and style allows me to mix and match items to help create a selection for all occasions. See, I've learned so much. I'm just an ordinary person who has extraordinary taste thanks to Melissa. Except for the basics - it's a one-stop-shop for me. I am constantly getting stopped and complimented on my outfits - thriii-llinggg. :) Melissa, thanks for the education and my amazing wardrobe.

The ladies behind the counter are always lovely and they run great sales and promotions (of special interest was their "12 Days of Christmas" in which they ran a different promotion on each of the 12 days leading up to Christmas - very cool). Great little boutique for the unique and fashion-forward.

Not that I need yet another reason to love Strathcona, but this clothing store is just the best…read more I went here recently to get some new wardrobe pieces for 2012, and I was not disappointed. In my opinion, all of the clothing at Charlie & Lee is beautiful -- stylish and casual without being overly hipstery. There seems to be an emphasis on unique and flattering cuts that have a timeless edge -- like the ruched skirt, black blazer and die-cut oxfords I came away with the last time I went here. One of the things that often frustrates me with clothing shopping is the lack of really good service. I've experienced pushy salespeople who follow me around, and snobby salespeople who completely ignore me, but rarely do I encounter intellioent salespeople like the ones at Charlie and Lee. The girls who work here actually ask me what I'm looking for, choose pieces for me to try on, and then give their HONEST opinion when I step out of the changeroom. What a relief!

At first, it seems overwhelming, all those clothes, tightly hung together on the racks, but then I realized what you really go to Twist for...the personal shopper service without the Holt Renfrew pricetag. The gals at Twist are great. They know what they are doing. I go in there, tell them I'm looking for some new clothes to freshen up my work wardrobe. They take a look at me, and immediately know my size. I go into the change room, and they proceed to bring me many different clothes to try on. I always walk out of there, buying way more than I intend too...but I am always so satisfied with the style and quality of the clothing that I get. I always get compliments, I always feel confident wearing clothes from Twist. They have a good selection of shoes too. Oh, and if you're a frequent customer, you can get on their list, and after spending a certain amount over time, they send you are gift certificate to spend in the store. Twist gets a gold medal in customer service!

Even though there were two sales people in the tiny shop neither of them so much as acknowledged my presence the whole time I was there. They manoeuvred around me, passed me, stood near me, all while completely ignoring me. I waited by the till while a staff member wrote up something, hoping for at least "I'll be with you in a moment," but no. She finished what she was doing, turned and walked away. There WERE other customers in the store that they were assisting, but does that preclude a quick smile or hello to a new customer? I had questions about a couple of items and waited patiently. To no avail. I may as well not have been there. I gave up, left and won't return. If you like browsing $200 T-shirts and $400 sweaters while being ignored by staff, Twist is the place for you.
