• Welcome to The WANT Apothecary

  The WANT Apothecary was conceived as a way to recapture the essence of the intimate, trusted and neighborly retail experience of a bygone era. Loosely inspired by the atmosphere of a 19th century pharmacy, this concept shop presents a unique opportunity for customers to discover a trusted resource for their style and beauty needs. 

  « Timelessness, quality and a modern interpretation of the past »

  Nestled amongst local boutiques, fine grocers, florists and cafés on the charming Sherbrooke Street West in Montreal, this lifestyle shop has been carefully curated by Byron and Dexter Peart, designers of the leather goods brand, WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie, in the fine company of business partners Mark Wiltzer and Jacqueline Gelber. Appropriately, the shop embraces the same design ethos as the celebrated accessories brand: timelessness, quality and a modern interpretation of the past.
