I read the previous comment and thought.. O wow.. but that's exactly what I LOVE about Chintz…read more It's my "go to" when ever I want to find that certain thing only cooler. I'm not much of a browser normally but the layout in Chintz holds my attention and makes me want to look at everything. I can't explain it except to say they have great buyers for the store and great people moving displays all the time to keep it fresh. After looking at what felt like every couch in the city for months I checked Chintz and with Luma's wonderful help found the perfect one. I meant to Yelp then but didn't get a chance.. so recently after looking in stores and online for lighting for my place, hating everything I saw until I checked the Chintz website. I found a few options on their site that I wanted to see in person. Katherine was a huge help to me, and although I had a plan to buy a flush mount and chandelier I decided to get the matching little chandelier to replace the one in the stairs. (this is all good because I have my Mom and a lot of sisters who want to get excited about the decorating I've been doing in my new place but get distracted asking me.. But WHEN are you replacing those lights!!!) What I have found (and probably why I'm no usually much for browsing) there is a lot of mass production out there and quality is all over the place (paying a lot doesn't guarantee quality in some cases) Thanks to their artful eye and excellent staff I do consistently find quality, unique pieces at Chintz . Always the best go to.

The store is by appointment only. For an over priced 'design' shop, these salespeople, pretend…read moredesigners, have got a BIG attitude problem. Avoid shopping here at all costs.

I literally had 12 hours to explore Calgary and found this gem near by where I was staying prior to…read moreheading to the airport. The retro style of the cruisers are adorable. The owner was absolutely lovely and amazing and recommended a scenic route to the Peace Bridge and along the river. There are group tours available. This was absolutely the best way to enjoy the city. Highly recommend it.

Reworks Upcycle Shop is like a DIY Pinterest board in the form of a real local business... except…read morethe products are actually amazing quality because professionals made them and not me! And if we wanna talk local, more than half their products are made in Canada and 99% from North America. We're talking indestructible messenger bags made out of used seat belts that go as far as to tell you what kind of car they were salvaged from. I stumbled across Reworks without a clue what to expect, wound up doing a good chunk of my Christmas shopping here, and will be back to do a tonne more! Here's what I found: - Purses made from pop can tabs creating a high quality aluminum chainmaille. ( I bought 2 of 'em) - Bottle openers from used bicycle chains. (I hope someone buys me one ;) ) - Bowls from used bike chains...actually, there's a lot of bicycle culture reflected in this store, which I think makes it all the more cool. The owner is a true bicycle fan and her store takes my lifelong love of bikes and brings it into the rest of my lifestyle with style. Used license plate clutches, bike tire belts, wine and beer bottle serving trays, chandeliers and everything. I imagine the product selection at Reworks changes often to keep reclaimed fresh, but even if all the awesome things I've mentioned no longer exist by the time you read my review, you'll still be able to expect high quality and unbelievably creative local products here. If you've ever uttered the term "shabby chic" you need to check this place out.

When a jewellery maker friend of mine advised me that the best high quality jewellery you can buy…read morein Calgary is obviously Holt Renfrew and this one shop on 17th called Rubaiyat. Now I pass here all the time, never in my wildest dreams did I expect what I saw inside; we are talking first of all an incredibly large store that descends for eternity to the back and is just plain lovely!! My friend wasn't exaggerating, every showcase, every shelf; every glassed cabinet was chockfull of lovely designer jewellery in the most spectacular designs. Here they carry some of the same designers as they do in Holt Renfrew but for a lot cheaper prices. But it didn't stop at jewellery there were beautiful globes of blown glass, intricately carved chopping boards that I would have hung rather than use and then my favourite an ethnographic object showcase in the far back featuring ceremonial objects from around the world. Here you can find original African Masks, fertility symbols from many countries, Native American antique pieces and authentic temple Buddhas. These objects were definitely market prices, you can buy these pieces for 4 times more on EBay, and here they are quite reasonable in price. Some of them have documentation too, so you know what village or tribe you are buying that object from. The service is tremendous, the people here know their stuff, they understand the precious cargo they carry. They are extremely present in helping you to see a piece or two, in my case more than 10. I love this store, it is exquisite, some of the most unique items I have ever seen and jewellery with such spirit, you should check this store out.
