On a recent sugar binge at Purebread, I spotted a stylish gent carrying a Frank & Oak brown paper…read moreshopping bag. Fifteen minutes, a few hundred calories, and a quick Yelp search later, I found myself standing inside of their beautiful Gastown store. First, it's hard not to be smitten by the space itself. Wood, brick, and steel seem to be Gastown staples, and this space blends the materials beautifully. At the same time though, cascading wall plants and some strategically placed trees make the space feel cozy. Factor in the ridiculously comfortable sofa near the dressing rooms, and you just might find yourself inquiring about a sublet. As for the main event, the clothing, the styles are mostly classic (with some welcome twists), the fabrics look and feel expensive, and the cuts are on the slimmer side. You can find everything from t-shirts and chinos to formal suits and sneakers (and pretty much everything in between). And the best part - the prices are actually reasonable. I have to give much deserved kudos to the wonderful staff, who made my shopping experience enjoyable from start to finish. Their patience and assistance while I seemingly tried on everything in the store was greatly appreciated. One final tidbit, make sure to enroll in their rewards program, which gives you back 4% of your in-store purchase for next-time. The credit never expires, and is stored electronically in their computer system for your convenience.

If you are in their store, it is most likely that you've chexked out their website already. My review is based on the customer service I received at the Gastown location. Me being an old dude, I'm use to shopping at GAP where the staff are smiling and super friendly despite on the stupidity of my questions. In this store, I got a blank look when I asked for helped, as if like a regular dude like me don't have clothing questions. The staff was unsure on what products were in promotion which is fine, if I was in their place I wouldnt remember either. It wasn't all that bad, but I just got a negative vibe from the staff almost as if they were lifeless and annoyed. Essentially, Frank and Oak staff in this store really need to smile and greet customers as if they like being there. No attitudes despite on shitty the day is going. The atmosphere in the place felt very snotty which does not make a good shopping experience. Regardless, I will continue to shop here and continue to ask questions so beware staff I will test your patience. I like their products and their prices are fair. Good day to you all!

Employee extends her middle finger to me today. What a Shocking experience…read more Time of day - 3:50 pm today Vancouver location We heard about the store from a friend recently so came by to find it. We didn't have time to go in today so I stopped for a minute while my partner could take a peak inside - he had purchased OffWhite before, he planned to come back later and take a look. While I was stopped in front of the store looking for directions to our next location a young Asian girl comes out and tells me I can't park there and told me to move. I said i was not parking and was just checking for directions. She continued to insist I move on. Said I'll be a minute and move on and that we have purchased OffWhite product. I found my direction in google and as I was about to drive away I looked back, she was staring at me from inside the store and then raised her middle finger to me. I was shocked she would do this to anyone, especially a potential customer. I got out of my car and went in to say how shocked I was and that it was disrespectful. How embarrassing an experience, I certainly can not return to this store now.

Yes, their prices are higher than if you're shopping at Winners lol. And sometimes, I don't think it reflects the (lower) quality of some of the materials in some of their clothes. But if you shop there with intention and peruse the sales racks early, you can definitely find good value, because I think most of their stock is good quality.

Overall, I would recommend this spot for quality items at a fair price.

What a fun area - and this large clothing shop was our favorite of all the clothing stores there. The shop is well laid-out, and it carries an extensive array of women's and men's clothing and accessories. Everything was trendy and cute, and best of all, the prices were quite reasonable. The sale items I saw weren't the usual odd-lot items, too; there were checked Vans slip-on sneakers on sale and other mainstream, recognizable items. In fact, my kid and I commented how we liked how there are many brand-name items as well as unique, lesser-known brands, and clothes we've not seen anywhere else. This would be the perfect place for a young professional woman to get her work and non-work wardrobe, as the clothes are on-point and the prices are right. I definitely would be able to find whatever I needed here.

Prices rarely dip below the $200 mark but you'd almost swear it's worth the splurge and temptation to claim "fashion need" bankruptcy.

Unique combinations of neutral tones and tactile materials mix with bohemian and eclectic to create the most stylish wardrobe a girl could hope for. Apart from the shell-shocking price tags, the shopping experience at Misch is very pleasurable. Hardwood floors and neatly arrange racks make for easy garment spotting and you'll also find a small assortment of very groovy shoes and bags to compliment your gorgeous look. I will definitely return to Misch to shop up a storm, once I've made my millions.

With flowers, relaxing music, and aromatherapy, Misch on Granville Street creates an atmosphere conducive to finding the perfect outfit. Peruse the racks of neatly filed fashion finds for many big names in fashion, some hot off the runway, in a plethora of fabrics, patterns, and cuts, lace, satin, cashmere; dresses, skirts, pants, blazers, tops, and jackets, shoes, and designer jewellery. Trend with a twist is what you'll find at Misch. And, since they only order one size of each piece, you'll never get caught wearing someone else's outfit!
