Rebecca Ruby imay be a small women’s clothing boutique tucked away in the Met Centre, but it’s worth the hunt as it has great clothes at really good prices. For months I had walked past this tiny, crowded boutique while on my daily coffee jaunt, and one day I did a spur of the moment drop in and I am glad I did as their clothes have become the mainstay of my work wardrobe. The business is owned and run by the designer, Rebecca, and she is very proud about employing a fully local team every step of the way; even her patterns are drawn and cut locally! The dresses all sell for about $ 99, and tops and pants are between $ 50 to $ not only am I supporting a local business, I am getting great value for money while doing it. Best of all she uses wash and wear, machine friendly type fabrics so there’s no expensive dry cleaning and no ironing — best of both worlds. The one criticism I have about this otherwise awesome boutique is the Part timer who works there — she tells you everything looks perfect on you and as soon as you don’t buy what you try on she loses interest and you get no further help. The easy work around is to make sure you drop by when Rebecca is there, as she is really helpful and will be honest about how you look in the outfits. A great little local business with great prices!
