My last purchase was a Veja shoe and when i was at the store it seemed ok but when I tried at home with a sock it was a bit tight. I tried to exchange for one size larger and because I didn't have the box with me they didn't any to do anything about it. I didn't wear once and still sitting on my closet. I have always tried to support the local shops but I don't feel like going back there ever again. thank you so much for your good business " Good Neighbour"

Housed in a cute Victorian small-town cottage beside the Leslieville Pumps gas station/grub joint, the store is like a teleporter to that other side of Queen Street, that I wonder if I am even in my own neighbourhood anymore whenever I step inside. I guess it's a sign of the times in the east end, as much as it is an interesting addition to the Leslieville strip. I was forwarded a meme whilst contemplating this nonsense (because apparently no one else has yet, bloody hell), and on it, a satirical list of things purported to be signs your 'hood is gentrifying, including an "inexplicable general store." Inexplicable. General. Store. I guess that best explains Good Neighbour. True to form, the place is filled with all sorts of eclectic and stylish stuff of all random categories scattered everywhere, like greeting cards, clothes and outerwear, mugs, footwear, backpacks, cosmetics, stationery. It's sort of like a Drake General Store (or maybe even an Urban Outfitters), but with more emphasis on fashion and lifestyle goods... and less on random cheeky hipster gag gift kitsch. There's a small kids section tucked in the back by the fitting room stalls, with an assortment of dresses, toys, puzzles, and humourous books. The men's stuff upstairs kind of scares me with the quantity of soaps and toiletries for the discerning well-groomed hip man. The place itself is a marriage of curated hip(ster) tastes (oh wait, they even have a table of selected Drake General Store crap for sale), and Club Monaco chic. Thankfully like a good neighbour the folks here don't stink so much of that douchey we're-too-cool-for-thou attitude that many hipster businesses are known for--they instead stink of individual cheerful Queen West-esque personality and a level of helpfulness not normally seen in a more corporate fashion boutique. Pricey? Kinda expected that. What is not expected are the sale offers that do pop up time and time again. My sister claims she bought a pair of jeans here for less than what Hudson's Bay was charging for the same brand. But I usually end up with socks, or scarves, or cards. Or whatever. {TTC: take the 72 bus or the 501-2-3 to Queen/Carlaw}

this store was kind enough to divide itself into two distinctly sex based stores so that all of us…read morewho have difficulty distinguishing between the mens and womens garments no longer have to suffer in silence. this small store was the mens store. in it were blazers/sport jackets (whatever the hell sport that it is youd play in them i dont know), light long sleeve tee shirts, short sleeve tee shirts, some shoes, belts, bags, pants - both casual like jeans and more formal like, you know, sport pants (for that same elusive sport above). although i didnt ask and i would venture to say that if i really loved it they would order it in for me, make it or whatever it is they do, but they had about one size for each style of hat they had and though the selection seemed varied (for not being a hatter shop - hatter is the right term; i do my research), it was disheartening to have the majority of the hats resemble dunce hats on my head because they couldnt fit around its girth. (im fully willing to accept that im projecting the anger felt about my fat dome.) anyhow, they had those fargo hats with the flaps in a few different styles, some simple bowl toques that are in style these days (overpriced anywhere you go in my opinion) and a few caps here and there. all pretty cool and though not all styles agreed with me (we are talking taste wise here not swelled noggin), it was nice to see the variety. for about 60 or so dollars you could pick up a leather belt with an impressive buckle. the beauty of this belt is that once youve picked the right leather, first of all you can mix and match, because the belts and buckles are sold separately, and secondly, you can always come back for an alternate buckle (or buy as many buckles as you like at the same time i suppose). there were some really cool baseball tee shirts with those 3/4 arms that were very very thin and weathered in some way where patches of it looked thicker in material and some parts were much thinner. great shirt, but itd be a shirt id wear once in a while when i knew i was doing something nowhere near related to a game of baseball. the long sleeve collared shirts also stood out to me, with varied styles, nice patterns and fabrics. the jackets seemed not to stand out in the same way. all in all, i enjoyed this shop, will come here again, probably to buy a belt first and i look forward to their continued success.

Envelop is a men's and women's clothing store on the Danforth owned by Jim Smith. He has his own…read moreEnvelop line, and sells other Canadian designers, such as Comrags, as well. Almost everything is made in Canada, including belts, jewelry and other accessories. He has an avid local following, but the store is still quiet enough that you will get lots of personal attention and be made to feel right at home - bring your dogs, your kids, your partner, it's all good (although maybe not all at once). He primarily caters to the professional woman (it has been described as the boutique for "women who read"), and men who love well-tailored but hip shirts made out of quality material. If you need help putting things together, they will be happy to help. Otherwise they will let you be as you explore the merchandise. The clothes are well-made and well-thought out- it is a good place to get conservative wardrobe staples if you can't afford Max Mara (or even if you can). I can't wait for him to design Alpaca wool women's coats...hint hint. One concern I have - and the only thing keeping this review from five stars- his clothes tend to fit the average woman and the long and lean type. If you are petite, choices are more limited. I think you can get pieces tailored to fit, so this may be an option. The prices are very reasonable for the quality- maybe a little more then Banana Republic or Club Monaco- and you are supporting a Canadian retailer!

A gem of a store!

Time passed, I never got a chance to visit until I decided to smarten up this year and in preparation decided to finally pay the location a visit. Finding the store is perhaps the most difficult part of the experience of shopping there... The place is located in a weird street that starts off Carlaw, just north of the Dundas intersection. There's what seems to be a parking lot in the corner, weird building around it and to make matters worse a bad street sign and it's a dead end street. Once you find the street though it's pretty straightforward. The store in itself is small and has a simple layout. It has a wide open feel of a loft, filled with items all over. The three different people I've met that work there are very friendly and knowledgeable. Just ask questions and they'll give their honest opinion about an item. Plus, shopping is always made easier when you know beforehand what you're looking for. So, with that said, check their website before heading into the store. I got myself some glove liners & lamb wool insoles. Both very affordable and extremely useful. There are LOTS of other things in the store and all very useful for anyone that works or does sports outdoors during winter (or even for those that walk a little further and want to be warm!). Worth a visit!
