StockMarkt
Situated on Notre Dame Street West, StockMarkt stocks an array of unisex accessories and clothes from major designers at easy-on-the-piggy-bank prices. Before leaving the boutique, make sure to pick up a hot brand like Nudie Jeans, James Perse or Flippa K. (2664 Notre Dame Street West)
After browsing the boutiques of Notre Dame Street, head west to Westmount for a peek at WANT Apothecary. Its cool 19th-century-like décor alone is worth the detour. Discerning clients will enjoy the personalized service and a selection of hard-to-find labels like Acne, Maison Kitsuné and, of course, WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie. (4960 Sherbrooke Street West)
Exclusively for men: make jaws drop Monday morning when you stride in wearing a suit from L’Uomo Montréal. Unique in North America, the boutique is considered by connoisseurs to be the best men’s clothing store in Canada. And for the past 35 years, its team has been passionate about attention to detail. Peruse two floors of exclusive creations from the likes of Kiton, Borrelli, Edward Green and many others. (1452 Peel Street)
A fixture on Saint-Laurent Boulevard (in addition to its boutiques on De Maisonneuve Boulevard and Complexe Les Ailes), M0851 is an authentic Montréal fashion symbol that offers leather creations for men and women.

You can pick up items with images of Farine Five Roses, Cinéma l’Amour, Orange Julep or even Place Ville Marie on them. (3960 Saint-Laurent Boulevard)
Keep strolling up Saint-Laurent Boulevard to step into Kitsch’n Swell and step back in time.
