The store offers a nice selection of women's clothing, accessories, jewelry and some gift items. We took our time browsing through the store since there was so much to see. The store has a trunk sale section where items are discounted. We did pick up a few clothes and trinkets.

I heard her tell a customer the lines on a top she had tried on were wrong for her body type. She brought a different top and wow what a difference. From frumpy to elegant. The fashions are surprisingly forward, too. I bought jeans two years ago there I saw this year in a Neiman's catalogue. A great experience. Go.

Never again!!! My wife and I went into this store while on vacation here. As soon as we walked in,…read morewe were met with (well my wife was met with) a dirty look from what we were guessing the owner (young, long black hair). We said hello but received no response back. I went to look at one part of the store and my wife went to the back but for some reason the owner just kept staring and watching my wife. As my wife walked back to where I was, the owner actually said to her "are you here to actually shop?" We have this happening to us in the States where we're from. Just sad that it happens here in Canada :(

Charlie's Closet is a boutique located in the Old City Quarter in Nanaimo, British Columbia.High…read morequality women's apparel with a touch of West Coast flair. Charlie's Closet carries both new and extremely gently used pieces with the option of consignment. Carrying designer labels such as Guess, Lululemon, Bench, Rachel Roy, William Rast, DKNY, Buffalo, BCBG, Noisy May and much more. They also carry casual and surf brands for our locals and visitors including Hurley, Quicksilver, Billabong, Sitka and Roxy. I actually found some decent items in the pants department the last time that I was in Nanaimo that I was interested in getting. Prices are actually decent. This is coming from a city girl who is spoiled in Vancouver with lots of consignment clothes.

Shopping in Duncan and wanted something I do not see everywhere for clothes. This shop has it in…read morespades! Found a grey and white floral dress just perfect for Mexico in January for only $45! Purchased two sweaters for around $50 each that are really lovely--grey with poppies (have never see this one) and white wool looking but made of cotton so doesn't itch. Really debated about a review and I want to keep this one all for myself but decided to share.

This little gem of a shop is fantastic! It was recommended to me by a friend to find a dress for…read moremy office Christmas party. Not only do they have great unique outfits, but they only bring in limited stock in each style - one of each size. The staff was super helpful and not afraid to tell you, "oh honey, no! Not that one." As each item is purchased (at least during Christmas party season) they write down what you purchased AND which office part you are attending to avoid the dreaded "who wore it better" moment when you and a coworker's wife show up in the same outfit. Plus the prices are very reasonable (maybe too reasonable as I walked out with multiple outfits. Love this shop!!

The merchandise is all designer, reasonably priced and they have something for everything. I can find a fancy party dress and a pair of jeans both on the same day. I really like the European brand Soya Concept that they carry a huge assortment of it. They carry a lot of Frank Lyman, FDJ (especially the tops) and David Cline. The store's owners are very friendly and quick to smile. I know that sounds like something obvious, but you feel very welcomed in the store. I can't wait to see what's new for fall!

I had a really fun time shopping here!…read more I was in Parksville for a conference at Tigh-Na-Mara. We had just driven in from a few days in Tofino, and I realized I hadn't really packed anything too appropriate for a conference with my coworkers and colleagues. Oops. Emergency dress shopping time! Sometimes, I am afraid to step foot into adorable boutiques, because I am borderline plus-size and often feel like I'm being judged a la Pretty Woman in this type of shop. This was a refreshing experience! The owner helped me pick out lots of adorable things to try on, most of them fit, and I ended up with two fabulous dresses that are now wardrobe regulars, as well as the most comfortable pair of bamboo leggings I could have ever imagined. I strongly considered going back after the conference to buy them in different colors and lengths. I had to hold myself back from all the gorgeous accessories and jewelery on offer, but it did make me a little sad. This boutique would be right at home in Victoria - the fact that I found it up in unassuming little Parksville with an amazing owner with a flair for stocking fabulous things just puts it right over the top for me.
