You'll be greeted by hilarious anti-Harper propaganda and fantastic Newfoundland-themed graphic tees that are legitimately cool and anything but touristy. From simple 'Bayman' or 'Come From Away' declarations, to stylized illustrations of the zany Rawlins Cross intersection, to an owl that says 'what?' instead of 'who?', I loved them all. I mean, Godzilla versus the Puffin? This is just really rad stuff in a really beautiful space. The rest of the shop is a fantastic mixed bag of unique products. There's more refined fashions for both men and women along with ridiculously good gift shopping. Again, this is not a tourist trap so don't expect too much in the way of coloured row houses, but there's plenty of other goodies ready to catch your eye.

Every item we choose is designed with a curvy woman in mind. Orchid & Oak aims to provide pieces that are both affordable and stylish. We'd love it if each item you purchase from us becomes one of your favourites. When we find an item we love, we only order small quantities of it to make sure you stand out in the crowd. You'll also notice that when you receive your order, your items aren't wrapped in plastic. We use tissue paper made from recycled paper instead to try and minimize our impact on the environment. All our inventory is received and tagged by hand, so we can make sure that every item meets our standards for quality. ​ Also, our items say "faux" in regards to suede, leather, etc. This is because the only animal we wear is the fur our pets leave after snuggles.

I have 2 reasons to never enter this store again. One: the saleslady lied to me and two: both sales…read moreladies were snooty. One: I specifically requested a high cotton content in my bra. I knew this store is expensive, and I wasn't overly concerned about price if I could get comfort and fit. As I had the complementary fitting, the lady assured me they had a bra my size with a cotton lining, however I could tell by looking at the fabric that it was not cotton, it sorta looked like cotton. Had this appeared to me an honest mistake, and had she apologized, I would have been more forgiving, but clearly didn't know, or more likely knew and didn't care. Two: Yes products are expensive, and yes the quality is reasonably good, but I got sick of hearing: 'It's European you know.' I recognize that some good quality dry goods are produced in Europe, and I know that these will be on the high end price range, but the attitude of these two ladies just made me wonder if I should be there because I don't drive a Mercedes. When one of them found a suitable bra that they could order, I did question the $150 price tag, but I will never buy from there again. I don't know what they did for sizing, but this is the most uncomfortable bra that I have. She assured me it would last forever. No question there because I only wear it when everything else is dirty, then I can't wait to get it off.
