Toronto: On the vintage trail
See All Lists
1. Vintage Depot
Toronto, ON M5T 2K1
(416) 596-6513
Category:
Used, Vintage & Consignment
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
I tend to find some nice non-frumpy vintage gems at this place, kind of set apart from the shops settled in the houses on south Kensington. This one is the fashion ticket for the hip kid who doesn't want to be too, too noticeable, offering basic…More »
2. Exile Vintage
Toronto, ON M5T

Used, Vintage & Consignment
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
This location of Exile is the costume lover's paradise. I found a fun wig here for $15, which is a pretty good deal anywhere in this city, and offers way more reliability, selection, and much less lice than what you can find in second-hand stores.

3. Flashback 2
Toronto, ON M5T
(647) 343-5569
Category:
Used, Vintage & Consignment
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
I'm on a vintage dress kick, so this store, with its delicious row of old dresses, definitely caters to my needs. It may seem a bit costly ($20-$40 for most rack items), but given that some of these were made decades ago and still look good, it's…More »
4. Black Market Vintage Clothing
Toronto, ON M5V 1Z8
(416) 599-5858
Category:
Used, Vintage & Consignment
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
Even though I wouldn't rate this as one of my top vintage shops, I seem to leave with a new item every time I go in that dang place. Just the other day, in fact, I came out with another dress and vintage golf shirt. Little by little, you are sucking…More »

This place used to be stocked full of brand-new, fully tagged vintage jackets. Now, it's your best… Read more »
5. Foxy Boutique
I would not have found this store if I hadn't been on a leisurely photo walk in the area.
It's a strangely located vintage store, on uninspiring Gerrard, close to the less quaint part of Cabbagetown, in an area which doesn't get much foot traffic…More »
6. CTS/Vintage Nouveau
Toronto, ON M5V
(416) 850-9129
Category:
Used, Vintage & Consignment
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Queen Street West
I don't know what happened, but in the last month, CTS seems to have wholly changed its look. It's gotten more... dark. And I swear I saw a fur coat in the window one day.
The dark colours leads me to believe it's trying for something more upscale.…More »
7. Public Butter
Toronto, ON M6K
(416) 535-4343
Category:
Used, Vintage & Consignment
Neighbourhood: Parkdale
Despite the 50% off sales in the opening month, I still couldn't find anything I wanted in Public Butter. I even passed up a Harold and Maude t-shirt going for $8, and that's a sacrifice -- you NPR types will understand.
This is the store that Black…More »
8. Double Take Used Clothing Store
Toronto, ON M5A 2G7
(416) 925-6069
Category:
Used, Vintage & Consignment
Neighbourhood: Cabbagetown
This is another one of those box-store Goodwill knock-off shops. Nothing particularly special about it, and nothing particularly bad, either. However, it's near Gerrard and Parliament, and may be a stretch for the average home-bound westsider to…More »
9. Preloved
Toronto, ON M6J 1G5
(416) 504-8704
Category:
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West
I love the idea of this place. Reworked, reused clothing? Pushing the boundaries of creativity? Local designers? Great idea! I support you! Enter Molly Ringwald and cue OMD's "If You Leave", now.
Unfortunately, as with Andie Walsh's reworked (and…More »
