Carter's/OshKosh B'Gosh in Canada

As seen in my previous post, I love Carter's. Making my way down to the states could basically be justified by a visit to one of its stores. To my surprise and excitement, I recently found out that they opened stores in the lower mainland. They now have stores in New Westminster, Langley, and two locations in Surrey (http://www.cartersoshkosh.ca/). I could not believe that I had missed this! Apparently, the first store opened in Langley in July. As soon as I found out, it was not long that I had to make my way down to a location, particularly since I have a baby shower to attend this weekend and I was itching to buy a cute outfit for the new baby girl.

As with all of the stores in the states, I was overwhelmed with the amount of cute clothing in the New Westminster store that I made my way to. However, they are combo stores in Canada. The Carter's brand was the front half of the store, and OshKosh brand was the back end of the store. I am partial to the Carter's brand as I think the clothing are generally cuter.

In the end (after a long time of browsing particularly since I do not usually get to pick cute girly outfits), I ended up with a cute outfit ($15) and headbands ($5) for the baby girl.

I also could not help but get an outfit ($12) for Jory along with a set of 3 bibs ($9) since it is one of my pet peeves that outfits don`t match the bibs.

In terms of price, I would have to say that the states is definitely cheaper, although not by a huge margin which would make it still worthwhile to shop at these locations. I also did notice that some items that were on sale in the states, were still regular price at this location. I guess it does not surprise me that they are a bit behind than the locations in the states though. I would also anticipate that they do not have all the new styles that I may find at a location in the states. I have not tested this theory yet though. All in all, I think I would still go down to the states to get the better deal (particularly if I get an email about a great sale or I`m heading down there anyways). It is however nice to know that it is available in Canada and it certainly saves on the gas money that would be spent heading down to the states.
