Still Life is a boutique that has been around since '84, but has totally revamped in terms of…read moreoffering more of local designers in '07 when the ownership changed. They offer clothing, shoes, accessories, and clothing for both men and women, and the selection is pretty large! Brands include Storm & Marie, Filippa K, Sunja Link, and OSC. After a recent trip to Canada, I've been kind of super obsessed with some Canadian brands and want to hoard some more - there was one designer (Sunja Link) that I really fell in love with, but her new pieces are always out of stock or sold out completely within days! Still Life came to the rescue when they had a certain item in a different color that I was eyeing on, so I snagged it. They were also having some great sales, so I was able to purchase a winter jacket (OSC) as well! I also love that you can count on the fact that the pieces that you receive will be of high quality and made extremely well. I loved the super great deals, the semi-quick shipping (there was a little snafu in terms of getting the package to me, but I just need to request a signature authorization the next time), the careful shipment/packaging, as well as the great customer service follow-up (a representative actually reached out see if I received my order and if everything was of perfect quality!). If you're looking for independent and awesome local Canadian designer goods, check Still Life out! :D +great selection of Canadian designer goods +great customer service! +occasional deals and sales

I was feeling a bit blue because it has been a long and hard pandemic and nothing fits me. After an…read moreafternoon shopping and not finding anything, I walked into this shop and I was very hopeful because everything looked really cute from the get-go. I was looking to buy a few new items. I am also very cognizant that we are in a global pandemic and I have been sanitizing my hands and wearing a mask consistently. I do have an autoimmune issue, so I am aware. I am not the type of person who ignores public health mandates, but I was just so excited to be in this store I didn't see the hand sanitizer to the right as I walked in. AS soon as I started looking, like maybe I had been in the shop for about 5 seconds, this lady storms over to me and loudly demands I use the sanitizer. It was just so abrupt and really rude and embarrassing, I couldn't even respond. Her tone was so off-putting and made me feel like I was absolute trash. I worked in boutiques in New York for years in my 20s and waited tables as a college student and as a graduate student. I never spoke to people like this. Ever. It was clear to me by her really abrasive attitude that I didn't belong in that store so I sanitized my hands and left literally in tears.

It is a great boutique for the working girl who wants to look classy and even for the more 'mature' gal who wants to look trendy - and at affordable prices.

The merchandise is all designer, reasonably priced and they have something for everything. I can find a fancy party dress and a pair of jeans both on the same day.

The store's owners are very friendly and quick to smile. I know that sounds like something obvious, but you feel very welcomed in the store. I can't wait to see what's new for fall!

I think there is something for everyone because my sisters and I are all completely different people, but we were able to find something for each of us.

I didn't like the clothes at most shops in Victoria but found a cute, unique and feminine sweater here. I found another clothing store I loved, but had terrible staff that were not helpful so I really appreciated how this place was staffed. They had lots of other cute stuff I almost got but I'm picky about fabrics and prefer natural stuff or used since I'm very eco-friendly and don't like adding to the micro plastic pollution to our landfills and waters.

I budgeted for double the price from Outlooks but ended up paying half with better clothes from here. Will be returning!
