Every time I meet a stylish Montrealer who hasn't heard of Headquarters, I cry a little inside. It's without a doubt one of the best stores in the city, and if you haven't been before, you're seriously missing out.
The boutique is run by the amazingly talented duo Tyson and Angie. Tyson's an artist and Angie's the designer behind the fantastic label Norwegian Wood... and they're the nicest people you'll ever meet.
HQ carries a carefully handpicked selection of clothing, shoes, handbags, jewelry, home decor, and all sorts of fun stuff from designers all over the world, as well as a great selection of vintage items. (Tyson does some hand-painted vintage shoes that I'm especially fond of!) The pieces they carry aren't available at big retailers and are even sometimes one-of-a-kind... you'll never run into someone with the same outfit as you! And when you enter the basement, you realize that they're also an art gallery, with a new exhibit every month or so.
They're located at 1649 Amherst, really close to the Beaudry metro. It's pretty much impossible to leave without buying anything.
