Advice From a Caterpillar, 8 Price St., 416-960-2223, advicefromacaterpillar.ca){kind=link}
Have only been to their pop up shop on queen, and after that experience I will never go to this store. I’m ok with indifference from staff, good with it in fact, I like to be left alone to browse, but when I’m actually pushed out of the way so they can return items to the rack while they natter on and whinge to each other, that’s another thing entirely. Actually had an arm full of merch that I put back because I was so put off.
Having moved to Toronto two years ago from Europe, I struggled to find any retail stores that catered for our kids. We then stumbled upon Advice from a caterpillar, what a wonderful store, fantastic owners and staff. They are a true example of what makes this country great and they have a fantastic idea of style and beauty. I would recommend anyone to take a trip to their store and I guarantee you will not only leave with some beautiful items but your children will be the best dressed in Toronto.
$570 for a CHILD’S outfit?? What a ripoff!!!
This article is absolutely ridiculous! Children’s clothes are one of the largest expenses parent’s will have to pay for over the course of their child’s life. They quickly outgrow their clothes, the clothes get tattered, dirty, shrink with washing, etc. I don’t have a problem spending extra on good footwear, as I understand the health science behind proper footwear or even a decent coat if it will keep my son dry and warm, but paying over $50 for a tank top? $170 jeans? Ridiculous!
