I was looking for a local dyer/spinner/artisan for Souvenir Yarn, and the staff member was able to point me in the direction of one. She actually didn't even come out from behind the desk, which in a small store where I was the only customer, actually was fine. If there had been more than just me in the store, this would have felt dismissive. The organization was a bit haphazard in my opinion; the dyer I was looking at was placed at various places around the store, I think depending on weight or perhaps fibre type. I'm not sure. But in the end I found something I liked, the staff member was helpful recommending patterns and telling me about the sample garments I was admiring. Then we had a funny chat about their logo/mascot. They had a name contest and I think the character was eventually named Gordon "Ram"sey.

La Cache is a little tough to find even if you've been there before. It's so teeny, you could…read moreactually walk right past it ... well, I did & I was looking for it! But it's a great little store with an incredible variety of fashion. They carry Fluevog shoes, semi casual dresses, feminine night wear, pretty affordable silver jewelry. What really stands out though is their service. Even when the store is busy & there's only one person working, you will be acknowledged and looked after. They have an amazing policy for holding items. They impressed me anyways because I asked them to hold shoes that were on sale. Normally, stores will give you grief about such a request. But they held the item for a few days for me. I gave 4 stars rather than 5 only because the store is small so limited in stock. They actually deserve a 4 1/5

Sure, their job is to sell, but the goal should be customer retention. I won't be going back, as the last item I bought was really too big for me, and I didn't realize it until after I'd taken the tags off. I don't mind having the odd alteration done, but since that was the fourth time in two years I've been horribly disappointed after the fact, I'll stick to shopping in my favourite stores in Victoria and Vancouver from now on, where the staff know me and always steer me in the right direction.

The one place in Courtenay that actually caters to my current look and fashion = alternative. I wish I knew how to walk in heels 'cause I feel in love with a pair of Zombie heels. The clothes are $$$, however, a lot of the clothes for the genre are well stitched and put together by some notable names in the fashion genre. I've had a pair of Trip NYC pants for 5 years with good wear. When you think about it it's better to spend a lot on something that will last rather than buying a few pairs of cheap pants. You end up really spending more for the cheap stuff in the long run than just investing in a piece right from the gate. If this is your primary style than I can see why this place would be expensive. I'm a working admin/book keeper, therefore, I only need a few pieces in this fashion line, therefore, investment is minimal. It does annoy me that some things are not tagged for pricing which is an indication that I will need to bring out the credit card. I find the staff very helpful.
