Tree Chic Eco Boutique is one of downtown Parry Sound’s most distinctive shops. True to its name, everything here is chosen with the planet in mind: Canadian-made clothing in organic cotton, hemp and bamboo, plus fair-trade pieces, for the whole family. The racks hold comfortable, colourful everyday wear with fabrics reviewers consistently rave about.
Beyond clothing, the shelves are full of natural and recycled accessories — bags, hats, sterling silver jewelry, body care products, beads and gifts. Much of it is handmade, and the owner has a reputation for warmth and helpfulness that keeps customers coming back. Shoppers describe the store as joyful, unique and sustainable in equal measure.
It is a small, personal shop rather than a big retail operation, and the hours are limited — typically afternoons Tuesday through Saturday — so check before you make a special trip. That intimacy is part of the charm. Browsing here feels more like visiting a friend’s studio than running errands.
Tree Chic sits close to the waterfront, making it an easy stop on a downtown stroll between the harbour, the Stockey Centre and the James Street shops. If you care about where your clothes come from, or just want something you will not find anywhere else, it is well worth a look.
