During a short visit to Duncan for Father's Day, I was excited to spend quality time with my Dad and treat him to some new clothes. We searched for menswear options and Outlooks came up first, so we headed there full of enthusiasm and ready to shop. We walked in smiling and ready for a great experience. I introduced my Father and explained we were looking to outfit him with some new pieces. The saleswoman took one look at him and flatly said, "We have nothing for him." No effort. No conversation. No alternative suggestions. Just a dismissive brush-off and out the door we went--feeling dejected and frankly, unwelcome. Thankfully, just two doors down was Jim's Clothes Closet. Not only did they greet us warmly, but their amazing team, especially CoCo, helped my Dad find pants in the exact size the Outlook's employee insisted wouldn't fit him. On top of that, he left with shirts, belts, a hat, and a great vest--plus a smile on his face. Outlooks Menswear gave us the worst customer service experience I've had in years. If you value your time, your money, and being treated like a human being, keep walking right past this place.

I happened upon this shop while visiting Victoria. I was searching for vintage clothing on Yelp;…read morewhile this shop is not vintage, I'm glad it popped up. My boyfriend doesn't often shop for casual clothes so it was a nice treat for him to get such attentive customer service. The gentleman working was happy to give feedback and picked out some nice pieces while speaking about the quality of items they bring in. Most of the items are either made local or sweatshop free in the USA. This is the kind of quality I want to spend money on and is generally a deciding factor when I make any purchase. I also wanted to speak about the simplicity of the decor and layout of the shop. Great merchandising as it really draws the eye in. They also sell some quality accessories including footwear, bags, ties and sunglasses. We will certainly be back when we visit the island again.

Thumbs down on the lighting in the change room though. Someone should probably fix this.

It's not even about the money - it was a $4 difference, but to have the owner actually scoff in your face is where I draw the line. I was spending $248 in the store, and he was not willing to budge on his position, scoffed at me, and walked away to hide in the back. I put back over $60 worth of other merchandise due to his attitude. Already ordered the items that I put back off amazon for cheaper and they show up tomorrow. Attitude is important, and today it cost you a bit of money and a negative review. Will not be returning

The size…read moreof this Roots is comparable with some other Roots locations but they are the most well stocked Roots location with clothing in my sizes, and it was at this location that I discovered Yoga Jeans! :) Roots is one of my favorite clothing stores ever. The Roots clothing style is very classy, but comfortable and still somewhat stylish. They also draw a lot of inspiration for their women's clothing from yoga, and I love yoga so maybe that explains it. Their sweaters and wraps are beautiful and I've found the best yoga jeans here (separate brand but I haven't found many places that carry them). They also make quality leather goods, and have neat country and hockey clothing lines. It's a good thing that there's no stores in the States or I would be broke. But, it's also a shame that there aren't more stores in the States because of the sales and provincial taxes in Canada, but here's to supporting Canadians through my addiction to Roots! ;)

Very knowledgeable, very friendly and not overbearing at all. Perfect service. I have recently lost weight and she knew my size when I didn't just from looking at me. I wanted to go with a black shirt and she suggested I also try white, brought me both, and she was correct when I put them on. I wanted something dressy but also comfortable and they had a selection of great fabrics that are both. The trousers I purchased look and feel like wool but are stretchy and breathable. I budgeted for double the price from Outlooks but ended up paying half with better clothes from here. Will be returning!

I thumbed over a pretty cardigan. I wanted to buy... I had my credit cards out, but every time I went to, something told me not to. Perhaps it was the smell of incense in the air and in the fibers of the cardigan that didn't do it for me because I left without anything in hand, feeling a little blue. Like the incense had depressed my mood and stripped me of my favourite type of therapy - the retail variety.

The store offers such a great selection of quality made, and fun to wear clothing for sleeping, lounging, and so much more, for women, men, and children. I first discovered Hatley sleep and lounge wear products here in Burnaby, via another retail store handling some of their offerings. My lady and daughter have enjoyed several of my purchases as gifts for birthdays, holidays, and some buys made just for those 'thinking-of-you', and for the 'fun-of-it' times. The long, sleeping and lounging shirts, down booties, and such sure lend well to those last two occasions! The Hatley store in Victoria was the first time I had actually seen a full-range of their products displayed and sold in their own store - and wow, what a difference - so much to see and be able to consider. And such great fun for the three of us to browse through all the colourful and amusing designs. On our most recent visit (late-April), I took note of some great potential gift ideas for them (a couple for me too!) for upcoming events. A fine little shop, with friendly and helpful service. I will have a shopping list in hand when we get back to Victoria and the Hatley store this fall.

A new addition to the Victoria shopping scene, they've filled the spot between Pig and the entrance to the Atrium. With floor to ceiling windows and a beautiful interior, you'll wish your closet had this lighting, not to mention to the space. While it looks amazing with the shoes set up more like art than those boring old shoe racks you're used to, Head Over Heels has a range of prices and offers. From affordable, sustainable, fabulous TOMS, to handmade Spanish and German brands you've never heard of, and some staples from Birkenstock that you'll never grow tired of. They have a ton of great local and Canadian-made jewelry, and hand bags and are excited to be open, so the service is really great. They are looking to start supporting some local women's groups with shoe donations too, so you'll really be embracing a new business in the Victoria shopping community that's out to do some good. So nice to see a TOMS (I'm a superfan) selection beyond the classics. They have some awesome wedges that will soon be mine. The handmade Spanish numbers have my name on them too. Check it out, you'll love this new shoe shop in town!
