You’ve thought of the books, pencils, rulers, erasers, backpacks and lunch boxes that will be used during the year, but have you thought about clothes? The back-to-school season provides the perfect opportunity for refreshing your child's wardrobe. Here are a few Montreal boutiques that will help you ace this assignment.
Jackets, T-shirts with short or long sleeves, sweatshirts with a leopard style print – there are many beautiful things in Marie-France’s shop, which is full of treasures. But beware: the shop located on Bernard West is closed on Tuesdays.
The Carter's OshKosh Marché Central store (there's another in Smart Centres Décarie) dresses children from ages zero to 12. There are clothes for everyday activities and a selection of clearance items - perfect for the parent on a budget.
Why not visit a thrift store to find back-to-school clothes that are high quality and affordable? Boutiques Renaissance carries children’s clothing that has been gently used and with options for children of all ages. Many parents visit Renaissance Shops (Boutiques) to drop off clothes that their children have grown out of so that other parents can benefit from them. These shops are found everywhere in the city.
Located in Rockland Centre in Montreal since May 2015, the Clément boutique is the perfect place to dress your kids for both summer and winter. The clothing selection will enhance your children’s wardrobe with a very delightful selection of styles.
Located at the corner of Van Horne and Outremont, the Brat Pack shop has everything for the zero to 16-year-old age group. Clothes are often on sale (at the end of the season, for example) while supplies last. These are just some of the brands you can find here: Deux Par Deux, Jean Bourget, Mexx, Point Zero and TrimFit.
La Culotte à l'Envers is a quaint neighbourhood boutique located in the heart of Rosemont in Montreal, featuring Quebecois and European clothing for children up to 10 years of age. Come by and enjoy a coffee in the boutique’s café while your child plays or participates in one of the many available activities and workshops. In addition to being a clothing store, La Culotte is on a social mission to contribute to the community any way it can by helping young families.
Souris Mini boutiques are found throughout Quebec, and four of these businesses have set up shop - or rather, shopping centres - in Montreal. Dress your children from ages zero to 10 in collections whose names are sure to make you smile: Secret Agent on a Mission, Charming Monster, Cooler than Cool, Urban Traveler, Free as a Bird, and more.
