Such a great independent shop. Always really beautifully laid out and a real pleasure to visit. So many lovely items, I’ll be returning to do my Christmas shopping here!!
What an incredible store!! Stumbled on this while exploring the neighborhood and my wife and I fell in love with it. They carry so many cool bits for clothing and some amazing incense too. Had a great chat with the owner for 30 min and you can really see the passion she has for curating an amazing shop. Can’t wait to go back and see what else they will have. Thanks guys!
Terrible experience with this company and would give 0 stars if I could. Purchased a perfume sample which I loved, and went on to buy the full size in November 2024. The perfume arrived defective with a completely different smell and a silty, cloudy debris inside (video for reference). Raised the issue with the store on December 4th and asked for a new bottle or a refund. On December 9th I was told they would investigate with their supplier, which seemed reasonable at the time. I hadn’t heard anything so followed up twice with no response either time. I was told on December 27th that the whole store had a flu and would come back to me as soon as they had an update from their supplier. Another month goes by and no further update, despite sending them 4 emails in the four weeks that went by. I finally got an email on the 24th of January saying they couldn’t determine anything wrong with the batch but would accept a return and refund on this occasion. I returned the perfume which arrived back on 29th January and have heard nothing back from the store about them receiving the perfume or processing the refund, despite a further 3 follow ups. This whole experience has left such a bad taste in my mouth. It’s ridiculous this is still going on 3 months after the actual purchase with no resolve. I don’t recommend this business to anyone. The loss of money is bad enough and my only recourse now is to try and investigate with my bank, but the lack of communication throughout this entire process has been so frustrating and disappointing, and a complete waste of my time. So unprofessional.
What a great addition to North Street and another independent shop for all your gifting (and self-gifting) needs! Wonderful and helpful staff.
Got some CBD, some coffee and some great socks. This shop has newly opened on North Street. The addition to the neighbourhood we definitely needed!
BGS is exactly what you want from Southville, an independent, consciously minded boutique for everything you might need and much you simply must have. Beautifully adorned with local artwork on its facade, BGS invites you in to peruse and meander like an urban bazaar-smith of yore. Don’t disappoint them, or yourself, step inside and leave much happier than you and yours once were.
I never knew how much I needed to turmeric honey in my life until I bought some today. I just can’t get enough and the packaging is so cute. From Bath soaks to sage, The shop has so many amazing and cute things to get. I brought my dog with me too and she was very welcome in the whole with was lovely.
This store is such a great addition to North Street. It has beautiful, modern, organic and artisan products. I just wanted to buy everything. I bought two of the Kinto metal beverage bottles and I’m absolutely obsessed with them. I got one in white and one in green and might have to get the third in charcoal. Also purchased some GREAT coffee beans and CBD. I will definitely be back to buy a pair of these gold earring I can’t stop thinking about and one of the blankets. The bath stuff and candles are also calling my name!
