🇨🇦 Montreal Ultimate Shopping Guide |

No one told me how amazing Montreal is for shopping until I got here! As an exchange student spending a month in the city, I’ve been exploring after class and compiled three must-visit shopping districts: Downtown: Sporty & Fashion Brands 📍 Saint Catherine Street Start at Arc'teryx (their HQ is in Canada — prices are great! A $500 CAD jacket is around €360 after tax, while it’s €500 in Europe). Then hit Canada Goose — a classic. A trench coat priced at ¥5500 in China is only ¥3500 here. Lululemon (also Canadian) has new designs not yet available in China, sometimes with discounts. Alo Yoga has a two-story store with tons of styles. Aritzia is a must for minimalist, high-quality Canadian fashion. 🛍️🇨🇦 Mile End: Artsy & Vintage Vibes 📍 Saint Laurent Boulevard Full of indie boutiques, vintage shops, cute cafés, and wine bars — such a cozy, creative atmosphere. Highlights: MIMI & COCO: Romantic, girly European/American labels Boutique Unicorn: Nature-inspired clothing & local skincare RUSE Boutique: Curated vintage luxury (men’s & women’s) Argent Tonic: Unique jewelry designers Citizen Vintage: Vacation-style vintage Annex Vintage: Secondhand gems 👒🎨 Old Town: Souvenirs & Unique Finds 📍 Start at Vauquelin Place and wander… Lined with local crafts: ceramics, weaving, floral art, sculpture, and gourmet food like award-winning chocolate! Boutique Édition (361 Saint-Paul St W): Handcrafted gifts 🎁 Le Petit Dep (179 Saint-Paul St W): Café + epicerie with gold/silver award-winning chocolate (Quentu), maple syrup, honey, spices. Perfect for souvenirs and a sweet break. ☕🍫 SSENSE Montréal: The iconic Canadian fashion platform’s physical store. #LetsGoShopping #StudentFinds #HiddenShoppingGems #ImmersiveRetailTherapy #Montreal #Canada #LifeInCanada #StudyInMontreal #MontrealShopping #ExploreMontreal 🛒🍁
