They have accessories, clothing, jewelry, home decor and weapons. An esoteric section with books, herbs, incense, singing bowls, stones and wands. Upstairs, they have a bridal section available by appointment, leather clothing and masks.

My jaw hit the floor when I entered this den of medieval treasures!…read more Just wow! My mom wanted to rent an amor for a person we know that is supposed to do a horse/rider costume contest. They unfortunately don't do it. They rent wedding dress. But boy, is this place great to look at! The stock is amazing! They have everything. They even have realistic fake rubber trouts to recreate those "Asterix and Obelix" village fight about fish freshness. I'm a sucker for hats and they had plenty of them. But sadly...No wizard hat. (I think maybe it was elsewhere) Also, they have crew to make custom armour design both in leather and metal. I want to say I didn't put any pictures of their work because they don't want to get copied and I totally respect it. Believe me they are pieces of art! Even if you don't want to dress medieval this place is a must see. It's so much more!

Extremely well curated and exciting array of exceptional modern day famous painters artists from…read more1965 to today. I was fascinated by these particular artists: Dominic Besner, Powell Neil, Cecile Plaisance, Niso Maman, Lucio Carvalho, Francoise Nielly, and Shawn Serfas. There are many more I could list here. Huge retail space, upstairs and downstairs. The art curator/sales team are very well versed in these exceptional art pieces and they are very welcoming at the door and not off-putting in any way shape or form. I like.

From beautiful kiln fired earthenware to lustrous one-of-a-kind handmade 24 karat gold and sterling silver jewellery to fashion accessories ... this place has got it all. This is true art made by talented people who showcase their creations with great panache and sensibility. Support local artists and craftspeople by buying quality goods at extremely reasonable prices. Located in western Westmount near Victoria, this place could've taken a totally different approach by being very snooty and standoffish. Fortunately for us all ... they keep it real. They know who their clientele are yet they suffer no fools. Nobody cuts in line here. First come, first served. If you've got excellent taste and a sense of generosity ... come here and get your mum a nice salad bowl or mug for her birthday. She'll know that she raised you right and you will too!

Actually visiting the store I kinda felt like I was in a Pinterest kitchen museum: the space is small but curated to the Nth degree with ALL the fancy kitchen ware (think a permanent Souk at SAT set up). Prices range from moderate to extremely pricey but I think that's attributable to the clear quality and designer element. While I definitely don't plan to come here for my immediate kitchen needs, I think this is going to be a new go-to spot for nice gifts for foodie friends. Also, I'd like to add that they were really COVID-compliant (while still being super friendly) which I really appreciated.

For my 50th First-to-Review, I thought I'd review a different sort of food related business…read more.. This somewhat newly opened kitchenware's shop shares a large local with La Librairie de Verdun, and a little coffee shop - the name escapes me - in their back corner (with it's own side entrance, which is on the side street). There are a lot of windows in which to ogle the beautiful and pristine mostly high end merchandise (a pretty diverse and quality selection). Items range from peppercorn mills, to tough aprons; artisanal cutting boards to Madeleine molded baking trays; and more...to the most amazing cookware (I'm talking serious Dutch ovens my wanna-be-chefs - myself included)). I can sum this place up as a virtual (though it's physically there) candy store for cooking enthusiasts, home cooks, real cooks, sous-chefs, chefs and possibly even TV cooking show hosts. Oh, and yes, any wanna-be-chefs (spatula intended).

Inside this typical Quebecois / European / Canadian building rests one of my favourite spots to discover new art in the city. Galleries, dance studios, yoga spaces -- this former industrial space is headquarters for all modern art lovers in Montréal. And who knows, if you're lucky you'll stumble upon one of the countless openings that will inevitably be going on during any given weekend where you'll sample some cheap wine; eat a few grapes, some carrots and a lot of cheese; and get a glimpse of some of the best up and coming artists Canada has to offer. ...sigh.

The employees spoke great English here and were super helpful with finding scents that were almost equal to those that have been discontinued.
