mr. lee's general store
with temperatures expected to soar up to 21°C over the weekend, we have a hard time finding any reason to leave the southern island for the mainland (ferry line-ups, bus rides, blaaah). but if you simply must visit the mainland and end up in vancouver's mt pleasant neighbourhood we must insist you stop by mr. lee's general store & haberdashery for a shop visit unlike any you've ever experienced.
the general store is a loving collaboration developed by our good friends dustin fishbook, meghan paterson and jeff petry. a faithful extension of the authentic belmont barber shop located below, mr. lee's has provided an experience as well as quality crafted goods to the gentlemen of vancouver since this past january. mr. lee’s has a curated selection of accessories, clothing and accompaniments that we feel are noteworthy, rare and purposeful, and above all else special. in addition they carry a template of product that was sold by general stores of the 1930’s &40’s: specialty foods, hard goods, apothecary, magazines, fine paper products, flowers and notions. a one-stop shop to heal all your hankerings and make life a little sweeter.
there is no place like mr. lee's in victoria, vancouver or even the rest of british columbia! they've become a must-visit destination for all of us at still life whenever we're in vancouver, not just for the incredible variety of products available but for the experience and fine local eating, drinking & shopping recomendations they offer to visitors of their fair city. so if you're in vancouver this weekend pop by mr. lee's general store & haberdashery for some quality goods for the great outdoors, get yourself a hot shave & a trim from the belmont barbershop downstairs and get out in the sun! still life loves mr. lee's.
