They had tea samples outside (don't mind if I do! ;-)). I have an increasing interest in upscale and high end vintage inspired fashion, with a unique and otherworldly twist. The style this store projected was victorian, vintage, mixed media, otherworldly, and artsy. The prices for the clothing are on the high end, which is to be expected. I ordered an earl grey tea to go. I really enjoyed it. I love sipping tea while I shop.

During a short visit to Duncan for Father's Day, I was excited to spend quality time with my Dad and treat him to some new clothes. We searched for menswear options and Outlooks came up first, so we headed there full of enthusiasm and ready to shop. We walked in smiling and ready for a great experience. I introduced my Father and explained we were looking to outfit him with some new pieces. The saleswoman took one look at him and flatly said, "We have nothing for him." No effort. No conversation. No alternative suggestions. Just a dismissive brush-off and out the door we went--feeling dejected and frankly, unwelcome. Thankfully, just two doors down was Jim's Clothes Closet. Not only did they greet us warmly, but their amazing team, especially CoCo, helped my Dad find pants in the exact size the Outlook's employee insisted wouldn't fit him. On top of that, he left with shirts, belts, a hat, and a great vest--plus a smile on his face. Outlooks Menswear gave us the worst customer service experience I've had in years. If you value your time, your money, and being treated like a human being, keep walking right past this place.

The Hatley store has been a favourite shopping/browsing stop for us during our Victoria stays this…read moreyear. The store offers such a great selection of quality made, and fun to wear clothing for sleeping, lounging, and so much more, for women, men, and children. I first discovered Hatley sleep and lounge wear products here in Burnaby, via another retail store handling some of their offerings. My lady and daughter have enjoyed several of my purchases as gifts for birthdays, holidays, and some buys made just for those 'thinking-of-you', and for the 'fun-of-it' times. The long, sleeping and lounging shirts, down booties, and such sure lend well to those last two occasions! The Hatley store in Victoria was the first time I had actually seen a full-range of their products displayed and sold in their own store - and wow, what a difference - so much to see and be able to consider. And such great fun for the three of us to browse through all the colourful and amusing designs. On our most recent visit (late-April), I took note of some great potential gift ideas for them (a couple for me too!) for upcoming events. A fine little shop, with friendly and helpful service. I will have a shopping list in hand when we get back to Victoria and the Hatley store this fall.

Very knowledgeable, very friendly and not overbearing at all. Perfect service. I have recently lost weight and she knew my size when I didn't just from looking at me. I wanted to go with a black shirt and she suggested I also try white, brought me both, and she was correct when I put them on. I wanted something dressy but also comfortable and they had a selection of great fabrics that are both. The trousers I purchased look and feel like wool but are stretchy and breathable. I budgeted for double the price from Outlooks but ended up paying half with better clothes from here. Will be returning!

I thumbed over a pretty cardigan. I wanted to buy... I had my credit cards out, but every time I went to, something told me not to. Perhaps it was the smell of incense in the air and in the fibers of the cardigan that didn't do it for me because I left without anything in hand, feeling a little blue. Like the incense had depressed my mood and stripped me of my favourite type of therapy - the retail variety.

The Roots clothing style is very classy, but comfortable and still somewhat stylish. They also draw a lot of inspiration for their women's clothing from yoga, and I love yoga so maybe that explains it. Their sweaters and wraps are beautiful and I've found the best yoga jeans here (separate brand but I haven't found many places that carry them). They also make quality leather goods, and have neat country and hockey clothing lines. It's a good thing that there's no stores in the States or I would be broke. But, it's also a shame that there aren't more stores in the States because of the sales and provincial taxes in Canada, but here's to supporting Canadians through my addiction to Roots! ;)
