For the relentless thrift hunter

Noteworthy for: Eva B has long-been a favourite haunt of Montreal's hippest stylistas.

Word to the wise: If you're growing tired of your own wardrobe, bring in your threads to exchange for store credit.

Eva B is a long-standing Montreal institution, known for selling used, consignment and vintage clothes. Don't be intimidated by the kitschy storefront as Eva B's side business is renting costumes; instead, head on inside to find a treasure trove of vintage goodies from every era.

The collection is utterly disorganised, but rifling through it is all part of the fun. Prices are low and with a bit of effort you can find real gems, which keeps shoppers coming back. Take a break between rummaging at the in-store cafe, which serves coffees, sandwiches and light snacks.
