I
started paying attention to Balisi shoes when there was a sign
indicating they were opening a location up at Yonge & Eglinton.
I had walked past some of their other locations throughout the city.
Every time I looked in one of the store windows I was reminded of Europe and felt that I must go in and check them out.
Well the newest location is now open and it brings a polished downtown
feel to the north end.
When you enter the Yonge & Eglinton location you are greeted by
a wall of gorgeous purses (notice the Balenciaga?).
The vibe is fresh, clean and fun. There is plenty of colour!
The shoes are funky and fashion forward. Once you start shopping here
you will no longer want to be wearing sensible shoes!
Balisi is more than just playful shoes, you can get fully outfitted
from head to toe.
The selection of clothing is vastly out numbered by the shoes and bags,
but just think of the outfits you could make!
Guys there is menswear too! Dress shirts and casual wear. Plus just
like for the ladies there are plenty of fab shoes and a murse or two if
you are interested.
Balisi is the type of place that prides itself on being able to dress
you from head to toe. That means their shop people are more than just
someone to ring up your merchandise. They can style you over!
From what I could tell prices range from reasonable to expensive but
nothing crazy and outlandish. Shoes ranged in price from approximately
$70 to $400!
Balisi has four locations throughout Toronto's shopping neighbourhoods.
