Kitsch'n Swell

A one-of-a-kind retail experience in Montreal, Boutique Kitsch’n Swell is like stepping into an alternate universe where 50s Rockabilly culture sits comfortably next to taxidermy and your grandmother’s décor — when she was hip. It's the kind of place where the modern-day pin-up girl will find her fix. “A lot of people tell me that they’ve never seen a place quite like this — but in a magical way,” explains owner Karine Gauthier. “It’s a curio cabinet where the décor is neither goth nor morbid, but feminine and tastefully curated.”

Customers of the boutique can just as easily find honest-to-goodness reproductions of 50s clothing as they can the perfect vintage accessory or a (real) stuffed animal.
