Abe & Mary's
This glossy all-white store feels like a super-chic spacecraft that randomly landed here, amid acres of car dealerships, miles from the city center. The stock covers all the bases, with an in-house apothecary, a café, and picks for tweens and men; the real activity, though, is upstairs, where you can sift through literally thousands of pieces from Christopher Deane, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Matthew Williamson.

Bleu Comme le Ciel
Helmed by a former buyer from Paris' Galeries Lafayette, this decade-old shop is exclusively about French costume jewelry, specifically bits with a posh-bohemian St. Barths sensibility. Tassel-laced, embroidered necklaces by Gas Bijoux, mother-of-pearl-studded pendants, and filigree gold earrings round out the mix.

Holt Renfrew
This space got its start in 1837 and is Canada's nicest department store: It's beautifully curated, with a focus on showing the full range from local talents like Teenflo and Mackage.

Indianica
There is a glut of high-end galleries for Inuit crafts in Old Montreal, but this is the one place we found that's loaded with things you'd actually want to wear: fur-lined moccasins, intricately beaded belts, fetish necklaces, and chunky pendants inset with bear claws.

La Baie
At 338 years old, the Hudson's Bay Company, a.k.a. La Baie, has a sleepier feel, but it's worth a visit to this mammoth department store for the signature trading blankets, which have an old-school graphic chic.
