About Blackfish Apparel
Apparel shops on a main street live by foot traffic, and this part of Bernard Avenue gets plenty of it: downtown Kelowna concentrates offices, restaurants and cultural venues into a few walkable blocks that finish at the waterfront parks. Blackfish Apparel trades from 473 Bernard Avenue, in the thick of that stretch.
Smaller apparel shops usually buy in shallow runs, so what hangs on the rack one month is not necessarily repeated the next, and the middle sizes go first. If you have seen something you want, going in early in the season is the practical move. It is also fair to ask what the exchange policy looks like, since independent shops often set their own terms rather than following a chain, particularly on sale items.
Blackfish keeps a page on Facebook, which for a shop of this size is often where new arrivals turn up first. Downtown itself is easiest on foot. Park once, walk the blocks between the offices and the lake, and the whole retail run is covered in an afternoon. Summers here are hot and dry and the street is at its busiest then, while the quieter months leave enough room to actually try things on without waiting for a fitting room.

Where to shop in Kelowna: three centres and a market
