Hi all

I have a friend who lives in Montreal. I would like as a surprise, to send her a gift voucher for herself to buy some new clothes but being in England and never been there, I have no idea what stores they have or if they even sell gift vouchers online!

I'd like somewhere she can get good clothes but also at good prices. Any ideas welcome

Thanks

Xx

Most likely they will have a BAY, its got lots of clothing and smelly stuff dat da ladies like. And its big enough that they may well have Gift Cards.

There is 2, A & B on the map /\ /\

The Pigalle has a high reputation as a shop to buy good ladies.

Les Ailes De La Mode

Also lots of good one off boutiques but may not have gift cards and can be expensive.

Bit far from Montreal tho'................

Thanks guys,

I'll check out Bay. I need to be able to buy online as I'm not in Canada.

It won't accept a Visa Debit card as a method of payment I only have a debit card, so back to the drawing board!

Most places will only accept Visa/Mastercard and the like, credit cards not debit on line.............maybe you will have to buy her something nice in the UK and mail it to her?

redsadie

I think that will probably have to be the case Dollface.

Thanks for all the help xx

OR perhaps send her a giftcard from a store that is both in UK and Montreal, like Zara - not sure if you can do that though or if the Canadian stores would accept a gift card in GB pounds.............

I don't know old your friend is, but this Montreal designer is all the rage here at the minute:

You could buy a pre-paid credit card and use that online, I think.

Hi, here are a few links to some popular Montreal Stores I hope you will find helpful.

.... For "proper" Franco Canadian feel, the two French Canadian department stores are www.simons.ca (which also has online shopping)

Montreals luxury department store is Ogilvy - http://ogilvycanada.com - you may be able to buy a gift card over the phone.

Other (specific) Montreal women's clothing brands include Tristan (tristan.ca), bebo (bebo.ca), stacey zhang (staceyzang.com)

These should be good starters, but let me know if you need one or two more!

Tristan is here in Ontario too, used to be called Tristan and America, now just Tristan......................
