Crate and Barrel Laval

C & B was a home store that I looked forward to checking out quite a bit in the late 90s and early 2000’s. Their style was fresh and modern but also had some classic clean items plus bold colours. Since their foray into Canada they have carried this similar business model that I once remembered 20 years ago when visiting the gargantuan stores in SF, NYC and Chicago.
The store here at Carrefour Laval is well laid out nicely decorated and offers lots of items. However I’m a bit surprised how much their items appear to cost in Canada. Sure I know this place is not Ikea particle board furniture AKA kill your fingers putting together with a mini hex wrench. However Cadillac Fairview (Carrefour Laval) must be charging a stranglehold rent for them to have to charge what they do for items at a mall location. Selection is very good and they have high quality items. Really you can decorate the house to make your place look snazzy! A great place for office worker gifts or for the wifey or GF to get you out of the doghouse. If you are patient check out some of their name brand items and order online. You will definitely find cheaper.
