One of my favourite* summer road trips is Montreal. Although, this time I let Porter do the driving or rather flying. Having grown up in that city, I can admit that the fashion scene is a hit or miss when it comes to finding great shopping. The best shopping is often hidden away in little nooks that only the locals know. So if you want to venture outside rue Ste Catherine, and you should (there is more to life than Simons), then head over to rue Clark.
Montreal’s Mile End (the new Plateau) gets a new new retail addition via Clark Street Mercantile (5200 Clark Street). This mixed use space – shop/agency/workspace follows a simple concept : Find & source the best goods for a city that is short on those brands.
* favourite – yes, I am Canadian – that is how you spell it.
