Never did she say it was only for exchange or store credit. This was only disclosed on the receipt which you get AFTER making a purchase!

All sort of animal motives, nice colors, great materials, and especially Canadian signs such as bears, cariboos, owls, beavers, etc. So if you want something Canadian for your baby, go to Hatley or Roots, which is pretty close by. You will go crazy from the cuteness exposed there ;)

I love kids cloths - the itsy bitsy teeny tiny sizes and the adorable prints, and until recently I…read moresimply admired them from a distance. Occasionally when I came back to Canada to visit, friends would send me with lists of clothing to picking up here and bring back to them. But I never really had reason to purchase these pint sized items. But with a niece and another on the way I'm in full aunty mode. Although I find kids clothing expensive in general given the size of the clothing and how quickly it gets outgrown (not to mention dirty) Hatley's pricing is quite reasonable, especially if it's on sale - then if you can think far enough in advanced (or don't mind having last seasons prints) there are some fantastic bargains to be had. I just picked up the most adorable raincoat for my niece (on sale of course) and am putting it in the mail tomorrow!

My first couple trips to Little White Sneakers, I had thought it was great and even recommended…read morethem to friends since not many knew that they sell preloved clothing and also support local crafters (like hair elastics and bracelets). I liked getting some used clothing of brand names for less, like Hatley and Roots. There may be some good finds hidden but there are also a lot of clothes that look outdated. I have also purchased new stuff for my kid, like hair bands, stockings, hair elastic, bracelet, and ear muffs. Unlike other preloved stores, this one does not have a rewards program for more purchases. Their new clothing is usually like almost $60 for one dress for a toddler. However, there may be new staff here that don't feel as welcome when I walk in. Their preloved stuff is sometimes overpriced. And my first consignment try was a disappointment. Instead of telling me the requirements of what they accept, they had me sign a paper with my details and drop off - when I asked for details on the rules they have, the woman told me it was same as that sheet of paper. They had me hopeful that my kid's outgrown clothes will sell. They rejected the item and I had to schedule another trip in to pick it up. It would have been easier if I knew the first time. They don't seem to greet visitors to the store or ask to be helpful anymore like they used to.

It houses new and previously owned branded kid's/infant's clothing and shoes arranged from sizes and age, along with new items like hats and adorable sunglasses. Exclusive brands like Jack and Lily, Burberry, Nordstroms, Ralph Lauren, Prada, Gucci have declared no introductions needed that withstands wash and wear, appearing unspoiled and brand new once on the shelves at a fraction of the cost. Feeling out the materials while wandering the store after a full minute will make you forget brands that mass produce vapid onesies and jeans that are light years behind trendy and isn't comfortable at all, based on my son's immediate tantrum after I have him fitted in a $10 jeans that look super cool but rough on his sensitive skin. Between baby showers, birthdays, hand me downs from family and friends, we sometimes are stuck with a vast selection of majority brands that are mainstream and I personally feel it's so yummy to watch my 7 month old infant beat his papa's swagger any day with an $80 Burberry off-white onesie. A splurge and a score!

Tried again, owner still not in, left more messages but no return phone call. This is truly not a store interested in their customer service.

The lady who helped us (who I can only assume was the owner) was the sweetest and kindest sales person I've ever met. She made great suggestions, was so friendly and really was so patient with my super cranky daughter that would not stop crying. She tried to cheer her up and even gave her a lollipop. She put together a whole outfit which was all reasonably priced. You honestly can't pay for that kind of customer service these days so it was refreshing to see. I will definitely keep Kostatex in mind for future events. This place and its staff are just simply amazing!

Well today I went to Kostatex Children's Wear store on the Danforth…read more What a find it is. I looked everywhere to find a christening gown for my great nephew and it was pretty hard. So much is only available on the web. Well if you are looking for: - baptismal outfits - christening gowns (including the traditional long ones), and outfits for boys - formal wear for young girls or boys (for flower girl or confirmation or other such events) Well..... LOOK NO FURTHER!! This place is great! So much selection, and the staff and owner couldn't have been more helpful! My niece lives out of Toronto, so they let me take pictures and send to her, and then we discussed it on the phone and we made the choice over which one we wanted. This is a small family run business but they have been on the Danforth for a long time. That speaks for itself.... and frankly based on the service I had today, they'll be there for much longer! So if this is the type of clothing that you are looking for - head on over -- you won't be disappointed!! Outfits were available in every price range - so no matter what your needs and budget, you'll find something here! (BTW - some other lady was in there -- and like me, noticed their new sign and went in and found exactly what she was looking for). These folks are few and far between -- so to have a shop where you could see the goods, match shoes and socks etc to it --- wonderful!

I REALLY like this store. Then again, I'm kind of a snob for clothing. The only thing I wish they'd…read morehave, is more items NOT made in China. Nevertheless, you can find gorgeous Smythe coats and jackets here (also found at Holt Renfrew) which are made in Canada, as well as other beautiful pieces in simple cuts and pretty colours. I find them a slight bit pushy and overeager to sell... although they backed off once they realized I was not responding to their cooing about how perfect the items looked on me. You can also find some wonderful cashmere in here, but I prefer buying cashmere scarves from White & Warren online (best quality cashmere for the price, I have ever found, even compared to the uber expensive Cashmere Shop in super pricey Yorkville), and I prefer buying my cashmere sweaters secondhand ... because they're expensive.

I was wandering down Yonge St, and the cute clothes in the window caught my eye…read more HOWEVER, the atmosphere inside definitely does not match the beautiful displays. The products were nice enough, but overpriced in my opinion.  But the main problem was the service! After not even being greeted or assisted in any way for several minutes (and it's not a large shop - they could see me, but chose to ignore me and to keep conversing between them).  When I finally asked a question about sizing in a top, I was very brusquely brushed off. This happened again, until one of the employees suggested a different top (that was about 3x the price).  When I made a comment about it being out of my price range, she looked me up and down and condescendingly told me that maybe the items were not my style. (Yes, I was wearing yoga pants and a sweater - I don't dress up for walking around).  I told her that I found her comment extremely rude, and walked out. I can accept a higher price for something if the service is great.  But people that rude do not deserve anyone's business.
