It was a
typical Toronto winter day, cold and grey. We decided to go to Bayview Village
and as it was a Thursday afternoon, we figured it wouldn’t be too busy.
Bayview
Village is a high-end mall with designer boutiques to browse. As it’s still
winter sales season, we thought we might find some bargains.
Our perusals
into the first few stores yielded expensive items, even when on sale, and uninterested
salespeople. Then we went to Chadwicks. They carry a number of luxury brands
such as Michael Kors, Eileen Fisher and Joseph Ribkoff among others. We were
greeted when we arrived and we joyously headed over to the sales racks. As we
looked, we noticed a salesperson taking a great deal of care with a customer,
who was looking for an outfit for her Canadian Citizenship Ceremony. Her name
was Gina and she still managed to find time to talk with us and ask us what we
were looking for. Sue headed off to the changing room with a number of
well-priced clothes, while Geri looked at beaded dresses. Sue’s pants were an instant
hit and only cost $50 on sale. She also purchased a blue T-shirt that flows
beautifully over the body and was clearly designed for a women’s body rather
than a prepubescent teenager.
Chadwicks
is a great store for women to visit, whether you’re looking for sales items or
investment pieces. They carry a range of apparel from casual clothes to evening
dresses. We noticed that all the salespeople were equally attentive and happy
to offer suggestions. This is what shopping should be!
Stay tuned.
