Such a beautiful baby & children’s boutique. They also carry high quality women’s clothing too. Owner is so welcoming and helpful. High quality new and preloved finds. A must visit in Victoria.

My mom came in and shopped for my kids and absolutely raves about the service and products. Thank you so much for the help you provided, and for stocking such beautiful items.

Shopping for children should be a magical experience, and this place has it. Hands down, one of the best children's stores we've ever been. The owner, Candace, is so knowledgeable and helpful and she brings in the most unique children's products from all over the world. As a local mama with a focus on sustainable and ethical brands, she clearly takes so much pride in her beautiful shop. You could easily spend a whole day browsing (there's an amazing pre-loved section, women's section and oh - the toys!) Thistle and Wren is such a wonderful asset to the community, cannot recommend it enough!

I absolutely love Thistle & Wren! You can tell the owner and staff put their heart and soul into curating unique and quality offerings of clothing, books, toys etc. (new and used). Can I just say how absolutely beautiful and organized the shop looks as you enter, which makes it so easy to find exactly what you need!I recently visited the shop with my Mom and Sister and the owner was very welcoming and helped us all find the perfect items, colours, and sizes. My Sister’s little one was even able to play in the kids area to buy us a little more time to shop, which was handy! What I’ve learned as a new Mom navigating the baby retail world, is you certainly “get what you pay for”. This boutique’s products stand out among the rest… my husband can always tell by the quality when something I bought is from Thistle & Wren:)If you are looking for a unique gift or high quality used clothing this is the place!

Thistle & Wren is one of my favorite baby shops! Everything is so cute ! The owner and staff are always very friendly and helpful! They also have an amazing consignment section. I have consigned a lot of my daughters clothes and it’s so nice to have in-store credit to buy her new things!

Love Thistle & Wren! The owner is SO friendly and lovely :) I didn’t feel pressured during my shop at all, she was just attentive in all the best ways! This is a go to spot for adorable baby & kids clothes, accessories, books etc! It’s also in a very charming location nestled between a restaurant and quaint local coffee shop.

Thistle & Wren is a lovely children’s boutique that carries beautiful and sustainable brands with a focus on circular fashion. With two kids, it’s my go to for consignment! The process to consign my items is easy, smooth and effortless. I have always received exceptional customer service from Candace and her staff, both in person, over the phone and by email and I continue to enjoy my shopping experience each time.

The dedication, time, energy and love Candace pours into the boutique is evident - Thistle & Wren is such a beautiful shop. My personal favourite is the preloved section, and so appreciate that each article is available online - makes shopping easy for a busy mama of little ones. I love supporting this lovely local business!

We love Thistle and Wren! I love that they carry beautiful and unique pieces for my little ones and my kids that are a bit older! Love getting a steal on consignment pieces too! Always my favorite store to visit when I go to Victoria!

I Love the curated selection of Preloved clothing for my babies. I also strongly agree with the eco mindset of keeping used clothing out of landfills. With this business, you don’t compromise on quality or brands because they have a high standard for quality and good taste. My online orders have always exceeded expectations (compared to photos online) and also my in-store visits. Watch for their amazing sales that come up once in a while. I don’t know what I’d do without this store, brand new can be so expensive.

Love this store and staff! I have been shopping here since my oldest was a baby and he's almost 10! Amazing products and thoughtfully curated with a focus on sustainable and women led businesses!! Will be sad when my kiddos out grow your products!

Horrible shopping experience as staff was not welcoming or helpful to my toddler and I at all. I honestly felt like almost 2 year old was unwelcome as he was checking things out, would expect someone who ran a kids shop to engage with the little ones a bit and have some compassion and understanding for mom as she tries to shop. After all, was about to drop some $$ !! Strange. Of course, my baby, my responsibility, but if you are looking for a warm and welcoming shopping experience with your little, not the place. Unfortunate when shops for kids, are not at all attuned to kids and moms!

Crazy, crazy expensive prices. I saw used items I paid less for brand new. I have no idea how they stay in business. I find everyone I have dealt with there snobby. No “hello” or anything… I don’t know. I love supporting local businesses but this one doesn’t do it for me.
