| - I was at Shops on Don Mills for dinner yesterday, and decided to walk off my meal by visiting this store. I used to LOVE Anthropologie prior to its introduction in Canada. I actually have been buying clothes from this brand for years and years in the City Place, Palm Beach location. The clothes were really cute, summery, and fresh...very befitting Palm Beach.
Then, Anthro opened up here with its higher prices and our tax. And I didn't feel like paying for relatively the same clothes here. I can't say that I like the style now. It's a weird mix of at-time 1960's clothing, bohemian-like dresses and skirts and shirts with lots of polka-dots. Sometimes I come here and I find nothing at all. Other times, I find really great dresses that I still wear to this day. In other words, I don't come out of my way to shop at Anthro, but when I am here, I do make a stop.
Clothing here is not cheap, and I can never find my size in the small and cramped Sale Room. What I really like is that Anthro carries cute wine glasses and kitchenware products that if I had my own home, I would certainly buy.
For now though, it's a love-hate with Anthro, although, I really love the layout of this store. Nice, big, and the changerooms are huge! Service has always been very accomodating and I can't complain.
There is also an Anthropologie Customer card where you get points and the good thing is that you can use in any location (Canada and US). If you forget your card, they always have no problem checking the system for you.
