“Stina had amazing energy. She also had a great eye for which frames would suite my face. I chose a pair of glasses and got them ordered in a different color that wasn’t in stock and nose pads added. Loved the level of service!”

“Stina at Durant Sessions Gastown is absolutely exceptional. From the moment I walked in, the experience felt professional, welcoming, and completely dialed in. Stina has an incredible eye for detail, really listens to what you want, and somehow makes the whole appointment feel effortless while still delivering a flawless result. The Gastown location has a great atmosphere — stylish, relaxed, and very comfortable — and Stina brings the perfect balance of skill, confidence, and warmth. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. The end result was exactly what I was hoping for and even better than expected.

“Durrant Sessions was one of the highlights of my Vancouver birthday trip. The boutique itself is beautiful and tucked inside a historic building with incredible character, and the entire experience felt thoughtful, personal, and genuinely special from start to finish. I came in looking for a pair of Jacques Marie Mage sunglasses and had the pleasure of working with Stina for nearly two hours. I have honestly never experienced that level of care, expertise, and attention while shopping for eyewear before. She introduced me to such a wide range of frames, noticed subtle differences in fit and proportion that I would have never picked up on myself, and really took the time to understand my style and what suited my face best. What stood out most was how natural and collaborative the experience felt. There was no pressure whatsoever, just genuine passion, warmth, and an incredible eye for detail. By the end, we both knew exactly which pair was “the one,” and I left with a pair of JMM sunglasses that I am completely obsessed with and that will always remind me of this trip. Luxury retail can sometimes feel transactional, but this felt personal, curated, and deeply memorable. Thank you again to Stina and the team at Durrant Sessions for such a special experience. I will absolutely be back the next time I’m in Vancouver. Till next time! - Jared”Read moreShow less
