Bernstein and Gold
Victoria’s Retail Crown Jewel
Through the ages, the notion of luxury has conjured up the idea of something exclusive, rare, an original that reaches far beyond common. In Victoria BC there is such a store with attainable luxury items for all to take pleasure in and experience.
In the past it has been called Victoria’s little secret but let it be known to all, that once you breath in the splendour that is Bernstein and Gold, you will find it difficult not to tell all your friends, family and passer buyers about this not so well kept secret. Owners Claudia and Erin have been working their royal retail magic in this location for 2 years, bringing a touch of glamour to Yates St. To meet them is to know you are in a friendly welcoming space that offers up an exquisite variety; a chic boutique with a bounty of beautiful treasures.
This jewel has an irresistible combination of clothes, home décor , jewellery, and so much more make it exciting to explore and difficult to leave. Its heritage space, calming non- invasive aroma and the soft colour give way to all the beautiful merchandise they source out from around the globe.
Just when you think you’ve seen it all, you discover another section to the back of the store. Did I mention the Spa?…oh nothing! Christine provides an assortment of exceptional esthetic treatments using Fresh products that are sold and use exclusively at Bernstein and Gold. This is the home of the famed “full lily” and pedicures that last.
Ladies, if you have a party to go to, Bernstein and Gold will role out the red carpet and take care of all your pre party needs. From the spa, to the dress, to the party gift for the hostess or event; they’ve got you covered. Gentlemen, this is the perfect place to find that unique one of a kind gift for your unique one of a kind significant other. They even gift wrap it for you. Talk about making it easy!
There truly is so much more to say about this special gem of a boutique but since I cannot ramble on any more, please, I encourage you, if you are from out of town, check out their web-site for more details on the lines they carry and if you are in town go see it. Also check out Rebel/Rebel, they own and operate that store too. What don’t these ladies do? Amazing!
