With the temperature dipping, I have recently found myself wearing my slippers all the more! Waking…read moreup on a slightly chilly/dark/dank day is hard for anyone let alone someone like me who is firmly established in the 'not a morning person' camp. This essentially means I walk around squinting like a baby bat, inadvertently dragging my feet from room to room attempting to wake up... I had started noticing a month ago that my slippers were therefor starting to wear through the sole and figured: maybe a better made pair will do the trick? No such luck- my not so new slippers wore quickly enough to nearly warrant a trip back to the shop, crappy slippers in tow. For this reason, I was really pleased when I saw Padraig slippers at my local Whole Food Market. Since WFM tends to have questionable pricing, I decided to check around for a website/location. My Mama was in quick supply of an answer stating that she had recently bough a pair of slips for my 4 year old cousin from Padraig Cottage. Delighted, I called up today to check for store hours. I was informed that Padraig Cottage is only open every Friday (except this one, Nov. 12) 12-5. Saddened, I figured i'd check at WFM for my size and colour as I did not particularly want to go slip-less for most of November. Fortunately for me, I found a beautiful pair of original Women's slippers in forest stripe. I was somewhat confused as to how these slippers are being sold for the exact same price online/at the shop? (who knows, it's open with the frequency of a lemonade stand) as they are at Whole Foods... Kinda strange. I would have preferred to purchase at the shop as I can only assume WF is getting a cut of my slipper purchasing dough and those guys are rich enough! A word about process: Padraig is a locally owned and operated business, providing jobs to some 30 artisans and support staff. Local wool is used where possible and the leather/sheepskin is recycled although tanned. yeay for recycling! boo for tanning. Needless to say I am VERY happy with my new slippers and confident that having spent a tad more for quality, these slippers will last through the winter; keeping my toes nice and toasty!

Love love love these slippers. Received them as a gift for my baby and they are amazing. Super…read morecomfy and well made. She gets compliments every time she wears them about how cute they look. They seem to fit a bit on the big size - I was given size B3 and my baby is 8 months with huge feet (compared to similar age babies) and is just starting to outgrow them now. She was able to start wearing them around 5 months. So off I go to get the next size up for her and maybe a pair for me!

I generally had good experience here as the staff was much more helpful and friendlier…read more Covid-19 shopping experience: After the incident at the coquitlam outlet at the entrance of being shouted at to stay outside due to capacity, I stood at the entrance for a while. Nobody came over. I looked around and only saw 2 staff and 1 shopper. After a while I just walked in. Really the sign at the door could be clearer on the procedure on entering process. As I knew what I wanted, I zoomed in to the rack with capris pants. I still wanted to try it in case it felt different from my existing pair. At the fitting room, I was told which room to use. From the staff, I found out the rooms have to be sanitized first before customers can use. And the staff would be there to take items which were not wanted so they can be sanitized or left aside for a while I guess. Again, I do not think they track customers who just try on clothes (mostly cardigans or jackets) in the main shopping area from the rack. Do those need to be sanitized too? Anyway I guess with Covid-19, it's either wash the clothes before wearing or leave them aside for at a few days before wearing. At payment, besides the ubiquitous plexiglass installed, you will bag your own items here.

I am so grateful for this store, and the wonderful people who work there. Growing up, bra shopping…read morewas not a fun experience for me. I couldn't find anything that fit me -- both in size and in matching my personality. I'd given up looking for that "perfect fit" years ago, but my mom spontaneously brought me to Forever Yours last week and the staff immediately made me feel welcome and secure. Erika, who helped with all my fittings, was absolutely amazing. There were a lot of options to go through, and I never felt rushed during the process. Erika took the time to point out and explain what a properly-fitting bra should look and feel like. Plus, they understood my style right away! I left with a much-needed confidence boost and two bras that I was actually excited to wear. As advised, I wore the new bras at home for a few hours each to ensure everything was all good. One of them ended up being too tight, so I went back to exchange it. Back to the fitting room! Again, Erika was there to help me out -- in a genuine, unhurried manner. From all the staff, you really feel taken care of. I cannot stress enough how important and valuable that is. This is the kind of bra store I wish I knew existed in my early teen years. Better late than never though, right? I'll be shopping here a lot more in the future.

Most recently, we needed a certain kind of bra for a special outfit. Each visit we were made to feel like we were interrupting the staff while they gabbed, and they were somehow doing us a favour.

Only downfall; no returns exchange only, but honestly, you would be hard pressed to find something in there that you did NOT like. The picture included above of the white boots would hardly attract a "good" girl into this store, but they do have a large selection. Shoes for every occasion and lots of flashy party shoes for dancers. I had a very hard time deciding but settled on a a pair of pink sequin peep toe high heels.

Marginally better service now compared to my previous experience. Again the older SA was more…read morehelpful and gave a better service than others. While all the SAs on duty that day said the right things, the actions did not match. The signs out in the store during covid-19 were insufficient in how the new shopping reality would be in the store. So my friend and I stepped into the store and were told by a staff from across the room to stay outside. Then we realized they were at capacity. That was fine but it would have been better if they had someone stationed at the entrance when at capacity to inform potential shoppers of that. Instead of shouting across the room. The fitting room was open. yay! You could try on clothes which would then be in a bin to be sanitized -- but the staff did not track those clothes/customers to be sanitized when customers tried them on at the rack itself so... Again the sign was not clear on the procedure. I was told by another customer at the fitting room I needed to wait for a staff before I could enter or go to a room. So it was a while before a staff came over. The staff also told the other customer her friend/relative (same household) could not be in the same room or area with her due to new covid-19 policy for safe distancing. The person had to wait in the fitting room exit area. New way to shop now -- rooms have to be sanitized before customers can use, and alternate rooms to be used. That was why the staff had to be there to let customers know which room to use. When my friend asked the younger staff about the pants I bought online previously, the staff had no idea what my friend was talking about. I tried to show her the item I bought from my order confirmation but the staff totally ignored that. Instead she just showed all the similar styles available based on the description my friend gave. I wanted to get another pair of capris as a back up to the current one I owned as it was really comfortable. I tried the one I saw on the rack but it felt different. So I showed and asked another staff where to get it. I was pointed to the same rack where I tried the capris. I just do not understand why the staff does not really take the time to really look at the SKU of the item and find it for customer. Other store's staff will do that and not here. When I got home and tried on my existing capris, I finally know what was the difference. The one in store which I tried was petite, what I bought was regular. So I have to go back to Reitmans (another store) to buy it now that I know what to look for.
