“Great place to get a flat tire. The owner of the shop was fantastic! The selection and prices and how the shop displayed everything so beautifully was a absolute treat. I purchased many lovely items. I highly recommend this gem of a shop and will stop in again when ever I am on my way to Saskatoon.”
“I reached out to Vik to transform a few heirloom bridal pieces for my wedding. The pieces included my mom's, my grandmother's, and my mother-in-law's wedding dresses, so trusting someone to cut into and redesign such irreplaceable items was a big decision. From the beginning, I knew Vik was the right person for the job. She drove four hours to meet me at my home, where I was able to try on all of the dresses, walk her through my vision, and show her inspiration photos. She took the time to discuss every detail, was honest about what was possible and what wasn't, and even sketched ideas in front of me as we talked through the designs. The entire experience was thoughtful, collaborative, and professional. Vik transformed my mom's and grandmother's wedding dresses into my rehearsal dinner outfit, and my mother-in-law's wedding dress into a beautiful slip and robe that I wore while getting ready on the morning of my wedding. Every piece felt incredibly special and was executed so thoughtfully. The pieces she created were absolutely beautiful. She found the perfect balance between honouring the original dresses and creating something entirely new. Each piece was completely transformed while still preserving details that made the original dresses recognizable and meaningful. The craftsmanship was incredible, and honestly, they looked like pieces I would have happily purchased from a store. If you're looking for a talented seamstress who can bring your vision to life while treating sentimental pieces with the care and respect they deserve, I would highly recommend Vik.”
“Athletes Haven is always great to work with when it comes to outfitting our staff! We've been purchasing custom clothing from this local business for years. Recently, we were able to establish a site for direct ordering from employee to the store. The staff at Athlete's made the process simple and efficient for everyone to use. Thank you, Athlete's Haven for providing a invaluable service to small towns across Saskatchewan!”
