Abe & Mary’s, a multi-branded lifestyle concept boutique, caters to the fashion conscious shopper.

UGG® Australia The UGG® Australia story began in 1978 when a young Australian surfer needed a way to keep his feet warm between waves, and the UGG brand was born. Today, UGG® has become an international fashion phenomenon and the UGG Australia brand now creates cold weather accessories for men, women and kids. The accessories line includes hats, gloves and scarves in high quality shearling, knits, fleece, nylon and genuine leather. Styles are timeless and sophisticated, complimenting the footwear line. Not to mention they make great gifts! Only the finest quality materials are used to create genuine UGG Australia products. Every UGG product has an exquisite feel that is hard to describe, but truly feels like nothing else from the moment you put it on.

EILEEN FISHER The first free-standing Eileen Fisher retail store to plant its roots in Canadian soil is in one of Vancouver’s most prestigious shopping districts, on South Granville. Blending trends and timelessness, Eileen Fisher is a designer known for creating fashion without an expiration date. Fisher started her company in 1984, with a design philosophy rooted in simplicity and ease. She has been deeply inspired by Japanese design and by fabrics from around the world, particularly those that are artisanally made. Excited about having brought the company’s design values to Canada, she was struck by the focus on the quality of life, as well as the leadership Vancouver has shown with respect to environmental stewardship. The synergy between the ease, functionality and simple elegance of the brand’s clothes and the relaxed, cosmopolitan Vancouver lifestyle were a perfect match for the beginning of Eileen Fisher’s retail entry into Canada.
UGG® Australia Located in the heart of Montreal’s upscale Westmount neighborhood, the first Canadian UGG® Australia retail store occupies a magnificent 1,000 square-foot corner locale. The store carries a range of the brands products, including women’s, men’s and kid’s footwear and accessories. The UGG® Australia product platform is directed toward consumers who value luxury, comfort and the highest quality footwear available. Only the finest materials are used in the construction of its products, the highest quality leathers and suedes, and of course, the world’s finest sheepskin. UGG® Australia takes great care to ensure that every shoe is going to feel great from the moment the consumer tries it on. UGG® Australia 4891 Sherbrooke O. Westmount, QC H3Z 1G9 (514) 907-7844
