Once again, I took items, overflow items from my luggage, to Empire Exchange to see if I could get…read moreany loonies for anything instead of just throwing it out. Wel.. First of all, everything I bring to them is not junk. Not anywhere close. You know how when you pack for your return trip, you just cannot fit everything back into your suitcase? So that is my problem. Taking only the items that I could part with, not very willingly I might add, and taking it to this store... is such a bummer for me. My loss, others gain. That's the way the world works. Sold quite a few items for peanuts money again. Maybe next time I will just do a pure donate, to a homeless person.

Today I had an appoitnment at Empire Exchange. I came in with a bag of laundered, pressed clothing…read morein excellent shape and quality. There were approximately 40 items, very comperable to the items in their store (and might I say even BETTER!). Several were vintage, some bought in Italy. I also brought in 2 bags of purses. Out of ALL these items, your "evaluator" (I say that lightly) deemed that NOTHING was worth purchasing. NOTHING! Except for 1 purse. I was stunned to say the least! When I got home just now and looked in the bag of clothing, most were not even looked at (at least 75%!!!!!!!) They were folded in the exact way as I had folded them. Totally untouched! Why??? Was I not befitting the "Type" of clientelle you wish to deal with? As THEY WRITE ON THEIR WEBSITE: "Through our exchange program, we're able to buy clothes from the creative and dynamic folks who come into our stores, and offer their items a second life." I guess I wasn't creative or dynamic enough!! I thought to give them my business as I wanted to support a very special local business like this instead of going mainstream ie Facebook Marketplace. I thought, oh how organic this place is, they are just the kind of business I wish to support. NO!, instead they deemed I wasn't good enough for them to even consider properly reviewing all my items and making a sound business decision. Shame on them! People, don't waste your time laundering, folding, itemizing, packing, schlepping your beautiful clothes, just to be not considered becuase your are not "creative and dynamic" enough.

I was so excited to finally find both of the items I was looking for, especially when I found out the reasonably priced accessories were also on promo. I started wearing the hat every day in the coldest month of winter. So, when I dropped it in the metro station and couldn't find it again, I was really upset, especially because I knew I'd bought the last one in the store. But Cuir Mont Royal saved the day! I messaged them on Instagram, and, within an hour, they'd responded that they would do everything they could to get me the same hat. Just two days later, they reached out to tell me they'd found it for me, and that they were reserving it for whenever I could come into the store. They were so kind, helpful, and attentive! Truly the kind of customer service you only find in a local business like this one. On top of it all, their selection is unmatched. They have a vast but curated selection of high-quality, stylish products for all budgets. They even have a selection of unique gifts that celebrate the culture of Montréal. I cannot thank them enough for keeping me warm (and fashionable) through the winter. This place is an absolute must for all your winter gear!

OMG this is a bloody amazing store!…read more My mom used to visit her sister in Boston, primarily to go to the Uniqlo store there, and then she'd visit me in Seattle, and then Vancouver when I moved there, and the first thing on her list was always to go to the Uniqlo stores in that city. It's always been a go-to store for her and my dad, as it always has had the BEST basic wardrobe staples - and then some! - in sizing that FITS, and of excellent quality. It was just such a big bummer that my folks had to travel far and wide to get to any of their stores. And they had nightmare experiences, trying to order stuff from their website. It was important for them to actually try on the clothing. So it was great anticipation that we all waited for this store to open up in Montreal! I sent my mom status updates, on the store opening, for months before it opened, and she is just in heaven now that the store is in her city! I visited the store yesterday and even though I had read about it being the flagship Canadian store and all its features, I was still blown away by it. It is gorgeous! Huge, well laid-out, excellent signage, clean, open, spanning two levels. With all the excellent clothing for men, women and kids that they are known for. They have always had excellent sales, and right now, they are selling their winter jackets for a steal (and they are known for their winter jackets, along with base layers/thermal "Heat" layers). In fact, a lot of their winter gear is on sale right now, and they have an enormous selection of everything. So if you're in the market for cold weather clothing, you need to get there ASAP. All Uniqlo offer free hemming of their pants if they are too long on you (I've used this free feature a few times in their Seattle store. It was great!). I've gotten lots of clothes here and they've all withstood years of hard wear, so I'm a big fan. And now with this new, jazzy store, Montreal, you got it made!

Somehow I had lost my winter hat at a cathedral in Montreal so we were walking around looking for a…read moregood hat that wasn't necessarily marked up because it had some brand name or designer logo on it. We saw several overpriced hats at other stores and then ventured into Uniqlo. We don't have one near but but the feel of it was right for what I wanted. We found a reasonably priced hat with their supposed HeatTech technology, and it was very reasonably priced. It served me fine the rest of our time in Canada. I was surprised it's actually a Japanese brand.

Montreal is the closest by plane, less than 2 hrs flight! Yep, a bit shallow but we also did a bit of culture sight seeing, barely, lol! Anyway, as expected they did have the stuff I want-happy about that but also bittersweet because of the 15% tax added to the price. Still, they have it so, shallow as that maybe, I purchased it! Heirloom piece in my mind, while not one of a kind, it's limited enough and I did get my fix! It got me on a love kick and I got addicted to it, lol, my hyperbole. Of course, for the price point, service was excellent and professional though I had to remind my sales consultant for 2 bottles of water for moi and mon ami plus the small gift samples for mon ami!

But was ultimately there for bracelets. The rep (didn't catch her name sadly) was patient in going through their stock, and helpful. Didn't catch her name, but she appeared to be the only blonde person. Sadly, they didn't have the colors & sizes I needed, but she helped me narrow down both so that I was able to confidently order online.
