| - I am packing for Greece and of course, I have to Yelp before I leave. I usually buy my swimwear when I am out of the country, however, I have been busy and I needed some new bikinis. I researched for some places (on Yelp!!) an also asked around - Sandpiper was the number one choice.
My cousin said that the owner/manager of the store was very good and if you had her, then your experience would be great. She could size you up and know exactly what looks good on you.
On a Saturday afternoon, the store was quiet except for 2 people. The store can be daunting as the walls are lined with swimsuits and you don't really know where to begin. The suits are sized by numbers and there are a variety of brands like Erex, Vix and L Space which are great bikinis with cute designs. Some are priced as a combination so about $275 and some are priced as seperates (top and bottom each). They also have proper swim wear for the athletes as wear as beach clothes and flip flops.
In my opinion, I think this is a cute shop with lots of options, but I have to say, despite the variety, I only came out with one. I did not encounter the owner of the store and if she had helped me, I am sure I would have bought more.
This place is definitely worth a visit just because of all the options and service is very warm and friendly. This place can be easily missed as it is down a set of stairs from the sidewalk of Yorkville Avenue.
FYI - There is also a second Sandpipers location close to Yonge and Eglinton. The saleslady said that the items are the same and its good to have a second store as sizes can be interchanged between locations.
