I love Winners... it's my Everest!
While some complain about having to dig around for treasure I embrace the hunt and feel a sick sense of accomplishment when I find hidden gems for dirt cheap!
This location is by far my favourite :

I am a stickler for details... especially the ones you can't see:
Intricate writings engraved along a button
The inside lining of a jacket
The the design on a shoe sole

Don't let the God awful exterior fool you, this is an awesome high end vintage store. If you are looking for cheap finds, I suggest you hit up Ossington and Dundas instead. All the items are tagged and have a little story on their origin, material,…More »
If I were to sum up my fashion sense in a few words I'd probably say : random, eclectic and detail oriented.... and this is exactly was this store embodies. This place is fun and funky like Trove or Distill without the hefty price tag.

This is my fav forever XXI in the city and my dirty fashionista secret. What F21 lacks in quality they make up in price and style. This is what Le Chateau used to be in the early 90's, amazing disposable clothing meant to last a season or two at…More »
