Shopping

Inheritance Shop

Our favorite store in the eclectic Le Plateau area spotlights indie labels on the brink. Here’s where to score Won Hundred sandals and Wood Wood totes before the rest of the world. 
4357 Blvd. St.-Laurent, 514-509-1675, inheritanceshop​montreal​.com

Shopping

Éditorial

If Pop Montreal (kind of like Canada’s Coachella) had an official shop, it would be this downtown boutique crammed with music-festival-flavored clothing, like boho tops and studded cutoffs. 1455 rue Stanley, 514-849-3888, editorialboutique.com

Shopping

Citizen Vintage

Perfect for those who fear the cluttered and the musty, this sunny space neatly displays everything by trend (’70s Levi’s here, ’90s floral dresses there), so digging is kept to a minimum. 5330 Blvd. St.-Laurent, 514-439-2774, citizenvintage.com

Shopping

Cahier D'Exercices

Stepping off the cobblestoned Old Port streets into this sleek designer store is like crossing into the future—the suspended racks dangling Marni shifts and Céline tops are that cutting-edge. 369 rue St.-Paul O., 514-439-5169, cahierdexercices.com

Shopping

Atelier B.

Made from eco-friendly fabrics, this local label’s tailored skirts and shorts are sold across Canada, but only here can you shop the line in its adorable entirety. 5758 Blvd. St.-Laurent, 514-769-6094, atelier-b.ca/en

Shopping

Les Étoffes

A chilled-out setting (blue walls, a turntable spinning Abbey Road) takes the stress out of splurging on cult-favorite designer goods, like Christophe Lemaire coats and A Détacher tunics. 5253 Blvd. St.-Laurent, 514-544-5500, lesetoffes​.com

Shopping

Reborn

Lining this moody, narrow boutique are Acne moto jackets, RAD leather boots and Raquel Allegra shredded knits—basically, all things black, edgy and seriously badass. 231 rue St.-Paul O., 514-499-8549, reborn.ws

Shopping

Maison Montures

Local DJ Nicolas Hamel parlayed his passion for vintage glasses into a full-time job with this tiny, hip shop for rare styles (’30s Dior frames, ’80s Alpina neon shades) and Hamel’s own retro-inspired line. 174 rue Bernard O., 514-507-8282, lesmontures.com

Shopping

Rooney

We found flirty Parker dresses, shiny Bass loafers and, in the men’s section, Homespun Henleys that look just as good on us. 395 rue Notre-Dame O., 514-543-6234, rooneyshop.com

Shopping

Ssense

The online designer-retailer’s first real-live store features cool-kid favorites (Chloé trousers, Lanvin sneakers) and an ingenious service: Anything on the website can be overnighted to the shop, without obligation to buy. 90 rue St.-Paul O., 514-289-1906, ssense.com
