Lemieux is an all-natural soap/shampoo place, having several locations throughout the Montreal area. Besides carrying local handmade soaps, body butters, face moisturizers, and lip balms, the store also carries their own line of shampoos and body gels - you can see these all in big large tubs, stacked on racks by the walls. Those who have sensitive skin, they have products that are free of dyes, perfumes, and colors. I purchased a Savon & Plus soap in lavender and in aloe vera - both smelling quite lovely! Prices are a little steep, compared to other stores in the area, but for a one-stop shop of stocking up on some all-natural soaps and shampoos, Lemieux is the place to go to. There is also a baby/infant clothing/accessories section in the back for gifts and such. Staff members are friendly and informative. +all-natural soaps and shampoos +carries local soap businesses' products +friendly and informative staff read more

Cycling up Gilford, I noticed the doors open on Lemieux, and stopped in to check it out! It didn't look particularly open, as there were boxes of stock everywhere and the shelves were half-empty, but the women working said that they opened the doors early, and were ready for business. I was out of my hippy-dippy laundry detergent, so went to check out their offerings. They had lots of choices of scents, with a few surprising ones like bergamot, cedar, honeysuckle, vanilla, and almond, and I was really pleased that the names of the scents were plain and descriptive, not "forest dream" or "fresh scent" or anything like that. I was tempted by a few, but settled on a small bottle of the unscented variety. It was cool to see that the back wall of the shop was filled with industrial-sized barrels of bulk liquid detergent, in all the available scents. Then, my eye caught the big wall of cloth diapers in the back. I had just spent over an hour looking at cloth diapers online (mini-me is getting ready for training pants), so this was kismet. Unfortunately, they didn't have quite what I wanted, but they had a really impressive range of covers and all-in-one diapers from Canadian brands, and also a nice selection of granola-mama accessories: hand-quilted diaper changing pads, cloth wipes, my absolute favorite sippy cup (the ZoliBot XL, by the way. I have become a woman with **opinions** on sippy cups, just shoot me now), and other little things that looked like nice gifts for moms. It was 3pm and I hadn't had lunch yet, so I didn't dawdle much longer, but when I checked out I chatted with the people working there, who mentioned that there was a lot of stock that hadn't made it to the floor yet, and that I should check back for training diapers in a while. They were nice, didn't laugh at my crappy French, and the prices were decent. I'll be back! read more

Lemieux - Baby Gear & Furniture Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Great little store! I have to admit, I've never bought any of their bulk products, their raison d'être, but I have bought lots of baby related stuff. And I keep going back for more. It took me a long time to go in. From the outside it just looks like a cleaning supply store with some baby clothes. Random, right? But once inside, I get it. Lemieux is all about being ecoconscious and cutting waste, so you won't find anything disposable here. Nope! But if you're looking for baby items that are a little different than BabiesRUs and the like, you've come to the right place. They've got cloth diapers, bibs, feeding supplies, rash guards, etc. And they've got some really nice second hand clothing. Definitely worth a visit if you've got a little one. The staff here are really friendly. If you've got questions about ANYTHING, just ask, and they will happily chat with you. No pressure at all, just friendly customer service. read more
