On my mission yesterday to purchase a new career warerobe, I decided to walk into stores I usually…read morediscount. I've walked by Tristan many times without looking inside - I thought the clothes would be for an age group older than mine, or too expensive. I walked in and was pleasantly greeted by a sales person as I immediately spotted and was drooling over a lambs wool blaser. I was excited to notice a large portion of their clothing is Canadian made. While I felt some of the designs were too mature for me, much was suited to a diverse range, very well made using fabulous materials. I managed to spot a lovely red cardigan on a sale rack, unfortunately they didn't have my size. They also had great classic dresses which were oh-so-Audrey, impeccably cut for a woman's figure, gorgeous fabric, and cheaper than the crap you find at Le Chateau. Prices borderline on moderate to much more than I typically spend, but the quality and timelessness is there which translates to great investment pieces. As a sweet marachino cherry on top the service was top notch! My MOA was to look in every store, think about items, return to the store for try on. One sales woman recognized me as coming back and was very sweet and helpful. I will definately come here!

I typically don't go to this store but as I was walking by, I spotted a shirt in a particular…read morecolour that my husband was looking for. I went in to ask a simple question about sleeve length (as most men's dress shirts indicate sleeve length - this one did not) and had to repeat the question 3 or 4 times as the sales associate(s) would try and answer before I had a chance to complete the question! (Listening skills, folks!) When they finally listened to the question and understood what I was asking, I had 3 sales associates trying to answer the question... too funny. (I was almost inspired to make a new joke: "How many sales associates does it take to...?"). It took about 10-15 minutes for them to grab a measuring tape and measure the sleeve length for me... Hmm. The staff is friendly enough I suppose (although the store has a bit of a "snooty" atmosphere) but it's like they operate on slow motion or something. I eventually purchased the shirt but had to return it as it wasn't suitable. During my return visit - again, service was in slow mo. The return process took forever... I might return as I did notice some really nice clothes. Some things were a bit pricey but the clothes seemed stylish yet classic/timeless and of high quality. If I do return, I'll remember to make sure I have lots of time to spare and to not bring my kids in with me as they will likely be waiting for-e-ver...

It seems they go out of their way to be unhelpful. They make returns/exchanges so difficult even when you meet the store's restrictive policies. They are pushy and rude.

We recently had a mother-daughter shopping day so stopped into Cleo while at Coquitlam Centre…read more Super cute clothes for women and girls of all ages and very size inclusive. Everything was 30% off, so the prices were great for what seems like decent quality. I bought a super cute gingham dress and skort (super lightly lined, more like a brief, unlike you're typical "skort") for less than $100. The ladies working here are absolute dolls. I'll return on my next visit to Canada.

Old navy has been my go to 99% of the time for shopping (in store or online).

I am short so often enough pants/jeans from other brands don't really work for me unless I spend the extra $ to get them hemmed in - however, old navy is great with having the different lengths for jeans (short, regular, tall). Sucks that this location is no longer in the mall but also great it hasn't gone too far from it.

So much so that my sister and I brought our mother here to pick out her birthday outfits. The ladies there knew their stuff and were fabulously prompt at juggling size, color and style requests. I bought a Jackie O style smock dress, a tunic top and sexy sequined tank for less than $100. I live in Chicago which is no place lacking in fantastic shopping, so I was impressed with what I found.

I'm a business professional and I came into the store well-dressed. To my astonishment I was treated like a second class citizen. Regardless of how I was dressed, I should have been treated and spoken to respectfully. Instead, she turned her back to me. Maybe she was just having a bad day and decided to take it out on me. Either way.....I will not go back.

I shop there very regularly and really look forward to it. The manager (D) and the entire staff are extremely attentive and helpful; going out of their way with truly personalized service. I appreciate that I never feel rushed and my time spent browsing is never interrupted. It's one of my favourite places to shop and I highly recommend it.

This was a great experience!! This store is gorgeous. I went in for a pair of jeans (great 'Miss…read moreMe') styles. The group of girls working were super friendly and lots of fun. They have everything from mid-priced tops to pricier and really special pieces as well. They also had really cute and inexpensive hand bags and gorgeous fashion jewels. The girls had me try on stuff that I would not have gravitated to. They know their stuff. They carry a huge amount of Part Two and In Wear that I love. Anyway, I went in looking for jeans and left with two pairs, a couple tops and matching jewelry. I no longer need to shop in Vancouver!

Since it costed me north of $$$$, I thought for the first time in my life I ought to mend it. The problem -the drawstring has entirely disappeared and the elastic was no longer elastic. The lady was very understanding and thoughtful in providing a variety of options. I went with the most reasonable solution-cut open the area and replace and repair. Not knowing that was perhaps the most costly route. Anyhoot, they did a fairly decent job tho for a pretty penny. Would come again if I must.

Had I not looked them up online, I would have never even known this little shop was there -tucked in between others. We spent quite a while in the store and the lovely owner gave her lots of tips. She ended up finding the perfect dress, exactly what she was looking for. I'm happy because we spent under $50 on a dress she'll likely not wear again. She also found a great accent necklace to go with it. Tip: don't try on dress by sizes, look for the style and colors you want first. We found things that fit my daughter from size 4-16. Dresses like this really vary in sizing.
