Q&A: Canadiana Gifts

Friday, December 13th, 2013

Q: Hi Sandra, we are going to a wedding in Europe. Any ideas on where to get a Canadiana gift? Thanks so much, your book and site are my standbys for info!

A: Everything possible Canadian can be bought in shops on St-Paul Street in Old Montreal. Start at Place Jacques Cartier and walk west. There are many shops there, some artisan run, some souvenir-y. More unique items are in the shops inside Marche Bonsecours, east of the Place.

You can also buy aboriginal art at Galerie Le Chariot, 446 Place Jacques Cartier or Indianica on St-Paul. Good ideas for Holiday gifts. And don’t forget the Hudson’s Bay blankets, etc. sold at La Baie.

CJAD 800AM at 8:40am – Ladies: Liz Claiborne, Jones NY, Anne Klein, Olsen

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Q1: You wouldn’t think about it with today’s temperature, but  with the Fall season around the corner, women are going to need to refresh their wardrobes.

Yes if they shop at outlet stores or liquidation stores, they can get the brand names they know, that fit them well, for a lot less.

Q2: What is the difference between an outlet store and a liquidation store?

An outlet store is often a store where the same brand is sold for less but it may not be the same items as in their regular retail stores. Not all items sold at an outlet are found at their regular stores – perhaps the weight of the cotton is less or the logo is stenciled on instead of embroidered or it was bought just to be sold here. Some outlet shops mix these different items, some recalls from regular stores and some regular priced items.

A liquidation store is clearances from the regular stores from last season or overstocks from this season.

Q3: If they don’t have time to run all over the city for these, are they clustered anywhere?

Centre Riocan in Kirkland is large, has 4 strips of shops around a parking lot and there are perhaps two dozen stores in this outdoor “mall”. If you keep going west on the TCan to Exit 26, you will bump into a teeny weeny strip of 4 shops at Promenades Hudson. Both of these have some “single” brand ladies upscale clothing.

Q4: Okay we’ve made it to those malls, now, where to we shop?

Liz Claiborne Outlet is about to close on October 13. Liz lovers will be thrilled to be able to buy some of her lines discounted here – Liz & Co, Liz Golf, Liz Clairborne in sizes 4-22. The store is a mix of regular products like you’d find in a regular-priced boutique and clothes made just for outlet stores. You need to know the difference – or ask.

CJAD 800AM at 8:40am: Handicrafts in Old Montreal

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

Q1:  It’s time to be a tourist in our own city, can you tell us a bit about what’s happening in Old Montreal?

When was the last time you went to Old Montreal? If you haven’t seen it in the last few years, you won’t recognize it. The software companies that marched into its western end, mostly west of McGill St., have turned this area on its nose.

Now there are people living and working down here. Fabulous new restaurants have opened up in wonderful new boutique hotels. At the eastern end, near Bonsecours St., an entire new neighborhood was created.

Q2:  That sounds like a lot of changing, is the street scene modernizing and losing its Old World charm?

Did you know that the buildings on de la Commune Street look exactly the same today as they would have been to a sailor who sailed into the port in the 19th century?  Place Jacques Cartier has been totally refreshed. For the summer, St. Paul street has been turned into a pedestrian mall.

Q3:  Let’s get back to your specialty, what about the shopping there?

For all of the new inhabitants, retail shops opened to feed and care for them  – bakeries, dry cleaners, clothing shops, furriers and depanneurs have filled up the empty storefronts.

At first glance, dear old St. Paul St. is still filled with so many souvenir shops. Having said that, a handful of them contain the works of real artisans or more upscale gifts, and those are worth stopping in to see.

Q4:  What kinds of thing would we find in those stores?

You can think of these shops as shopping green and shopping local:

L’empreinte Cooperative is a 37-year-old co-op for over 70 Quebec artists and artisans, you can expect to find variety, including ceramics, handmade albums, glass vases, bowls, sheepskin slippers, pewter lamps, handmade clothing, puppets and creative jewelry. Marianne Chevalier weaves pictures using copper thread and for souvenir hunters, Renee Bovet captures Montreal street scenes on silk.

www.empreintecoop.com

Smack in the middle of old Montreal, Les artisans du meuble quebecois, is a 43-year-old artisan’s consignment shop displays some of the wares of a minimum of 450 artists. Look for: glassware, ceramics, handmade cards, duck decoys, door knockers, fish bone shadow boxes, scarves, wooden kids’ furniture, dolls, quilts, creches, jewelry (silver, beaded), wooden boxes and then some.

Location:
88 St. Paul St. East
