This Edmonton shopping service connects visitors with the best boutiques for clothing, shoes and designer finds at bargain prices.
Hidden within the sprawling streets of Edmonton, Alberta, lies a plethora of boutiques to while away the day. Shopping outside the malls in Edmonton is surprisingly plentiful, as many stylish entrepreneurs have opened up shop in the 124th Street area and stock designers from Europe and their own backyard. The problem is, visitors aren’t sure where to find them.
The most unique way to shop is with Judy McDonald of Finding Sophiesrubies Shopping Tours (780-901-3178). An excellent hostess, Judy takes individuals and groups on shopping tours to discover the gems of the city, all while being chauffeured in a Sedan or limo.
Her vibrant personality, excellent connections and top-notch service makes shopping with her a playground for both shopaholics and those who consider it a chore. Most importantly, Judy doesn’t accept a sales commission, so the custom designed tours are truly organized to help you find exactly what you’re looking for.
Liliana’s Boutique & Fine Art: Local artwork greets you in a fair-sized gallery at the entrance of the store, but walk upstairs to the expansive retail store of designers from all over the world. Sizes range from 3-32 and there’s even a sale room for bargain hunters.
EnPrivado- the Shoe Fix: A shoe haven specializing in styles mostly from Spain. The elegant décor beckons shoppers to sit down and stay awhile. Staff are just as welcoming and the styles they sell range from completely affordable to almost-New York prices.

For a luxurious shopping experience, Finding Sophiesrubies is recommended. Judy will take you on wonderful chauffeured tours themed to your liking. She can cater to groups of girlfriends out on the town, designer or consignment shopping, antique scouting, special events like bridal showers or men’s days out, or even do the shopping for you if time is tight.
