Nothing But Vintage
Toronto’s Best Vintage Boutiques, GTA
Something
old, something new…Or maybe not so new. Ok so let’s not call it old either. The
word is vintage, and it seems to be appearing in some way or form on just about
every fashionista in our urban playground of a city. If you didn’t already
know, vintage pieces are like wearable antiques. They can be new, used,
borrowed and second hand, but have been designed from our previous era.
Now,
if your anything like I am, your constantly scanning the outfit choices that
make up the streets of Toronto and noticing vintage more and more every season.
The only question that has been making me ponder is where, oh where, are they
finding these fabulous finds! Well it’s your lucky day because I’m about to
share my favorite vintage shops from clothing to accessories to furniture.
First stop…
Kensington
Market! If you’re not familiar with the Kensington Market area, it’s located
just south of College Street and off Augusta Avenue. Kensington offers well
pretty much everything you may be looking for. Anything from cool vintage shops
to independent business wear to your every day basic attire. Some of my
absolutely favorite vintage clothing stores can be found here and for amazing
prices!
Next
on the list is the incredible Queen West Antique Centre. What makes this store
so unique is that they offer an abundance of great furniture. Here you’ll be
able to explore the diverse collection of vintage pieces. If you’re in search
for anything like ancient anatomical posters or vintage floor lamps, I can
guarantee you’ll find it right next to the stylish 60’s couch or the vintage
50’s bureau. If liking great furniture pieces with history behind them then be
sure to make a visit to this incredible vintage shop.
Lastly,
be surely not least and definitely on my top three favorites list, is a little
store called Cabaret. Again located on Queen west, this boutique is strictly
dedicated to bringing us the highest vintage fashion in the GTA area. Offering
just about everything they can to our urban population, you name it they’ve got
it. They go as far as offering vintage fashion tips, movie glamour, daywear,
and bridal. Be sure to check out this boutique next time you’re headed down to
Queen, surely they’ve got something just for you!
The
previous eras are back, vintage’s the word and it may be for some time.
Clothing, furniture and accessories it’s everywhere! I’ve shared some of my
favorite vintage areas in downtown Toronto, I hope you’ll take my word and be
sure to stop in at one of these fabulous shops.
