Mouat's Clothing - Salt Spring Island, British Columbia

JA

Wow, what an amazing clothing/fashion destination it was…, with what was a wonderful style consulting experience.
It was a wonderful supportive, safe and open place to talk about what You want.

At the time in a Michelin Travel Guide this destination, and the rich style advisory on offer, would have merited, a “Worth A Detour”.

I had never enjoyed shopping so much, but sadly a key member of staff has changed. How sad.

Footnote - looking at my comments above they might appear to look like something from a member of staff. But this one (JA) was one very happy customer at the time…

Last time we bought some duer shorts, everytime we visit the island my husband and i like to check the store and add new clothing to our trip.

Wonderful staff! We were so happy with our purchases we went back the next day and brought friends! Thank you for the hospitality and fun.

I went out on a limb and decided to book an appointment with Chantal, the stylist at Moat's Clothing. Chantal is an absolute gem of a human and a fashion whiz! She helped me overcome some of my mid-life struggles/perceptions that were holding me back from dressing in a way that looks and FEELS great! I thorougly enjoyed my time with Chantal and was thrilled with the pieces I purchased. I will definitely be seeking her advice in the future and highly recommend! p.s. The appointment is free of charge (with a minimum purchase of $100) and she doesn't work on commission, so there is absolutely zero pressure!

Every fall I visit this store as part of an annual trip to Salt spring. The upstairs section is fantastic and I always find something. They carry many brands including Holebrook, Cut Loose, Part Two—all quality brands which are increasingly difficult to find in bricks and mortar stores in Vancouver. Service has always been helpful.

Just dropped in, as is my usual practice when visiting the island, and my first thought was " what happened here?". Gone are the fabulous fashions this store was known for. I live on the mainland and if I met someone who had been to Saltspring we always talk about this store and its selection of unique pieces at great prices. What I saw today was inexpensively made, disposable garments that I can find anywhere. Frumpy is what I came to mind. Such a shame! This is a pass for me, I suggest the same for you. I know my friends will agree when
I tell them the disappointing news.

Came here on the recommendation of a family friend who is a regular customer. We were surprised to note they didn't appear to have any covid restrictions in place. Especially for a long weekend. We were the only two customers wearing masks, for others protection. The staff were also not wearing masks.

The staff followed us around as if we were highly suspicious and after we debated a few purchases we returned the clothing to their original racks. As we were leaving, the staff approached us to ask if we had put the clothing back. When we replied we had we were lectured that they HAD to steam the clothing after trying on.

That would have been pertinent and helpful before we began shopping. I highly doubt that's their regular practice though since they did not wear masks or follow any other CDC regulations. My guess is that they were judging us for wearing masks.

Will NOT return despite the selection of clothing I would probably have purchased other wise.

Absolutely horrible service on the second floor an older lady with white/ grey hair followed me and my friends around the store our entire visit (presumably because we are young) and was very dismissive when we asked about pricing and merchandise. as we left she thought she heard one of us laugh and made a snarky remark, “something funny?….ok just checking”. we will not be returning and will be warning people of this establishment.
