Quorum, absolutely no problem.

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!!

One of my new favorite stores! I mainly came here because one of my favorite indie jewelry designer…read moresells her stuff through this boutique. 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!

I've no idea what took me so long to enter this store, as I was always intrigued by the vivid and…read moreinteresting store displays, but I am happy I finally did! From what I know of the fabulous Miss. Sixty jeans and their hefty price tag, I wasn't too surprised to see that most items in Miss.Sixty are pricey. That being said, most of the items are totally worthy of the price tag! I had forgotten how original in design and incredibly interesting Miss.Sixty apparel was, being that the last time I had been in an actual Miss.Sixty store was in the UK many moons ago. The clothing here is meant for the man or woman who wants to stand out and make a statement, both with their clothing and their personality. These intricate designs, shiny fabrics, bold accessories and, of course, fab jeans, are not for the weak of heart and I love it! It is very reminiscent of the verve and vitality of European apparel and attitude. Another reason to adore this shop? The staff! Not one, not two, not three, but four separate staff members made a considerable effort (without being irritating) to assist me in finding what I wanted or just offering up suggestions. Sales people are not hard to come by, but great sales people are and Miss.Sixty on Robson has snatched up a good few of them. I suspect if I worked here, amongst these exciting clothes, that I too would be enjoying my work and wanting to spread the word to the customers!

The style of clothing at Energie are not outrageous or bizzare in my mind, they are very clean and modern European clothing As some of the reviewers posted before, the prices are high. But Energie is a brand that competes with Diesel in quality and market, so if the high prices are a discouraging, visit another store instead.

Fashion; reasonably-priced…read more A satisfying selection of unique and modern pieces for both men and women. Awesome shoes and booties, hats, socks, bags, sunglasses (Karen Walkers!) and especially jewellery. They also carry some nice little gifts/home items, such as candles, The Laundress products, and perfumes. 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!

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.

No, you're not always going to find everything you want.....but that's what I like about it....you just never know what else is there - sometimes nothing - other times a rare find. You have to spend some time there I'm a bit of a fashionista and I've scooped up some seriously beautiful stuff - when you have the time to get passed the other stuff. They even used to have bits of furniture there and I picked up a gorgeous large antique-looking trunk for the end of my end. People all ask me where I got it - they don't have it anymore I say! Owner knows me know and is super friendly.
