Chinatown

Charlie & Lee

Originally a Victoria-based boutique, Charlie & Lee  recently traded the quiet island life for an off-the-beaten-path Chinatown location. The fashion-savvy West Coast natives behind the shop love up-and-coming independent labels and bring us their favourite international lines, including Seneca Rising, Gar-de, and The Reformation (we love their Beirut tie-dye dress, $265). Also on shelves are Rebecca Minkoff bags (the MAB backpack is especially on trend this summer, $398), jewellery by local line The Woodland, and an apothecary stand stocked with Malin+Goetz goods.
