Directional designer store for men and womens clothing, footwear, accessories and bags.
Vancouver's trendiest boutique finally comes to Canada's second second trendiest city. Minimalist decor lined with I-want-everything-on-it racks. NYC darling Opening Ceremony, Vogue wunderkind Alex Wang, and Sweden's Sweden's Hope and Whyred all make appearances.
This place I pretty fabulous. The owner really know her stuff and it's nice to see that the I always a variety of new items + they stay on top of the latest trends. The prices are a bit high but honestly it well worth it. I purchased a pair of rag and bone jeans and I haven't taken them off. I truly believe is quality versus quantity. I recently just purchased another pair of jeans and the... more
I love this store! The staff is helpful and friendly, and they have a great selection of women's designer clothing. They also have seasonal sales that are actually sales. The mens section is a little small, and I rarely find anything for my partner here, but that's my only complaint, and hinges mostly on his personal style. They're more HBA than Rick Owens.
Love this store. Staff is really friendly and always happy to help and they carry the best brands. It's designer so it's obviously expensive so I don't shop regularly here (wish I could) but whenever I come in the staff is ALWAYS so nice and helpful. Love the experience I get here, and plus I love the minimal interior design.
I feel when you're rating a store, you have to know its niche...J+O is obviously selling top designer products so you'd expect a high price tag. Anyway...
Been here a couple of times. I personally feel the men's stuff is sometimes too hipster-y feeling (well, what did I expect? haha). They know what's in trend very well. The pricing varies greatly - I see some items are not marked up, while...

I've bought a few things from J&O over the years (back since they were the only Toronto retailer that carried Shopbop). It's definitely a luxury designer store, so while I only stop by a couple times a year for items, I find that my shopping experience is always a positive one.
I think the biggest draw of J&O is the customer service. Earlier this year I picked up the last pair of Acne pistol...

This place has some true treasures and some brands I can't find anywhere else~ I love the shoe wall! The service is excellent, the sales is not pushy but helpful. most of the brands are on the higher end, you have to be really looking for something to come here.
what I don't really like about this place is the locations, its very far in the west end of queen st with not much other shopping...

I don't buy--or own--very many articles of clothing. I'm particular to the point of being neurotically specific, so when I find something I like, it's mine. If I don't, well, I'm ok with wearing white T-Shirts. The fact that J+O had not one--but several things I actually liked (and fit my chest:waist ratio--was fairly remarkable. And the service was exactly what you'd expect: helpful without... more
I don't really want to wear anything in here. Okay, I lied. I like their sweaters mostly, but at $300 a pop, I am not comfortable paying for that.
Even so, I think it's a store for hipsters... it's the type of clothing that is too simple and minimal for me to justify the price tag of $150 for a simple tank top, no matter how comfortable and how nice the brand name is.
I do like that they...

Tried to order a top online--their system had technical difficulties so I phoned customer service # to get help. Got the store manager who told me there was nothing she could do help me because the online store is different. Why they would use the same # is beyond reason. Manager would not put the top on hold for me while their online store was trying to sort out problem--can you believe it?!?!... more
J + O has a great selection of both 'black and sexy' and 'long and flowery' styles mixed in at a variety of price points. The back is reserved for Top Shop items- well-priced, somewhat decent materials and quality designs.
The front is more expensive, but you can tell a difference in the quality.
I left with one item from the front and one from the back and felt totally satisfied with my...

I love this boutique! I can't necessarily wear or afford everything on display, but I love to look around and feel the gorgeous fabrics and textures.
Perhaps it's a consequence of being off the Queen-strip; Jonathan+Olivia feels like you're shopping in your friends' closet. (An exceptionally hip and fashionable friend.) There is a level of personalization that is extremely relaxed. I never...

It seems as though I have become rather masochistic lately, seeing as though I've been spending an inordinate amount of time in establishments that taunt me with evidence of how the other half lives.
It also seems that I need to get out more, because though I practically live next to Ossington, I had no idea how many expensive and hip stores there were just a little south of my neck of the...

Jonathan+Olivia is one of the prettiest and newest stores on the Ossington strip. It's pretty huge inside -- they've got a lot of space for a lot of clothes worth a LOT of money.
They carry a bunch of standard jean brands -- Cheap Monday, ACNE, Earnest Sewn, as well as high-end clothing brands like Rag & Bone, Helmut Lang, Opening Ceremony, and many, many others.
Along the center of the...
