OMG this is the cutest store with local artists and designers. I love an support local. I love the hipster cards. I make my own cards, however, I am always inspired by what other artists do for cards. Customer service was friendly and the prices were very decent.

Fashion; reasonably-priced. A satisfying selection of unique and modern pieces for both men and women. Awesome shoes and booties, hats, socks, bags, sunglasses(Karen Walkers!) and especially jewellery. They also carry some nice little gifts/home items, such as candles, The Laundress products, and perfumes. The ladies behind the counter are always lovely and they run great sales and promotions(of special interest was their«12 Days of Christmas» in which they ran a different promotion on each of the 12 days leading up to Christmas — very cool). Great little boutique for the unique and fashion-forward.

Gorgeous clothing from around the world with a handful of local jewellery designers thrown in. The change rooms are lovely(sort of a 1920s African safari vibe, if that makes any sense), the sales people are friendly, and the website(they offer online shopping as well) is streamlined. I wish I could afford more here — this place would slay my wallet if I let it.

Not that I need yet another reason to love Strathcona, but this clothing store is just the best. I went here recently to get some new wardrobe pieces for 2012, and I was not disappointed. In my opinion, all of the clothing at Charlie & Lee is beautiful — stylish and casual without being overly hipstery. There seems to be an emphasis on unique and flattering cuts that have a timeless edge — like the ruched skirt, black blazer and die-cut oxfords I came away with the last time I went here. One of the things that often frustrates me with clothing shopping is the lack of really good service. I’ve experienced pushy salespeople who follow me around, and snobby salespeople who completely ignore me, but rarely do I encounter intellioent salespeople like the ones at Charlie and Lee. The girls who work here actually ask me what I’m looking for, choose pieces for me to try on, and then give their HONEST opinion when I step out of the changeroom. What a relief!
