2030 Boul Pie-Ix, Montréal, QC H1V 2C8

Why not visit a thrift store to find back-to-school clothes that are high quality and affordable? Boutiques Renaissance carries children’s clothing that has been gently used and with options for children of all ages. Many parents visit Renaissance Shops (Boutiques) to drop off clothes that their children have grown out of so that other parents can benefit from them. These shops are found everywhere in the city.

1283 Av Van Horne, Montréal, QC H2V 1K5

Located at the corner of Van Horne and Outremont, the Brat Pack shop has everything for the zero to 16-year-old age group. Clothes are often on sale (at the end of the season, for example) while supplies last. These are just some of the brands you can find here: Deux Par Deux, Jean Bourget, Mexx, Point Zero and TrimFit.

Souris Mini

150 rue Sainte-Catherine O, Montréal, QC H5B 1E9

Souris Mini boutiques are found throughout Quebec, and four of these businesses have set up shop - or rather, shopping centres - in Montreal. Dress your children from ages zero to 10 in collections whose names are sure to make you smile: Secret Agent on a Mission, Charming Monster, Cooler than Cool, Urban Traveler, Free as a Bird, and more.
