The clientele is middle aged women mostly and the clothes reflect that. You'll find J.Crew, Aritzia, Club Monaco, a lot of activewear brands, and for designer some Michael Kors or Tory Burch but nothing overly expensive. They mark down items after a month or two, and the prices are pretty fair.

The Comeback is the best women's consignment store in the city, hands down -- cross my heart; I'm a cast-off connoisseur. They only sell brand name clothes less than two years old, so while there's no vintage, it's like having a personal shopper who plumbs the mall for the best items. It is a Winners-killer. Perfect for a frugal soMEone who's not into shopping but likes having quality stuff. My finds over the years are too many to list, but some of my favourites include a $13 Harvey's seatbelt bag, killer Diesel jeans for $11, a stylin' $45 Mexx interview-type suit that evidently did the trick. Everything here is sorted by size instead of colour, which is precisely how all second-hand stores ought to be. The stellar organization makes it way faster to find things, and the finds are so abundant here that I always creatively interpret the six-item limit at the change rooms. Older stock will get discounted up to 70% (I think), but tags are sometimes not marked down yet, so ask and check the date on the tag to see if it might get further reduced. It's exclusively women's wear and accessories, but no shoes. While clean and orderly, the store probably hasn't seen a reno since Michael Jackson was black, but who cares? Not I. This place deserves a bajillion stars and is absolutely worth the trip out to Etobicoke.

An important note: if you are looking for bamboo, you have come to the right place. I have always found the Plaiter Place to have lots of bamboo products and sticks of various sizes. I could see myself building an outdoor structure of some sort with these things. Other wood products such as storage items, like baskets and boxes, are in high supply. Bu then, I went in recently and came out with salad tongs and a cheese knives. You never know what you're going to get. I think it all came out to less than $15, so definitely great bang for your buck.

This shop, is the total opposite. Immaculate. There isn't even any dust on any of the products, AMAZING. Everything is organized, neat, labeled, it looks like someone's home with the cute little handwritten signs saying: Please don't open! Please don't touch! You break item, you buy item! Great place for bamboo and everything to do with bamboo. I also love the paper lanterns there, and if I had an apartment I'd totally decorate it with a bamboo or paper lantern umbrella.. it's just gorgeous. Love. LOVE. Love. Also, the prices are uber cheap. $0.89 for a little bamboo spoon! Most places like Williams Sonoma would charge you $3 because it's an "eco-friendly sexy product". Here, bamboo it is what it is -- a cheap, renewable, green resource. I also like that they're frugal and eco-friendly. They wrap whatever you buy in newspaper rather than give you a bag. Love.

Located in an industrial area, the actual space is HUGE, occupying 3 units. It is spacious. Popular/high demand items are neatly displayed in the front area and it is all individually priced, re: Carhartt jackets for $80-120, North Face fleeces at $65+, etc. I didn't see any band t-shirts as advertised on their social media/website. The rest of the store had long racks with stuff like baggy t-shirts, shorts, sweats, sweatshirts/hoodies, jeans, etc. Even though these are pretty unisex items, most stuff was primarily for bros. Racks were pretty jam packed and I found it difficult to go through as there was barely any space to flip thru items. Do expect to find items were distressing, holes, & some stains. Jeans were next-to-impossible to go through as it was soo tight! Majority of the items that aren't tagged, I believe according to signs, were $20/piece. So I'm sure there are deals to be had. I just didn't have patience to do it. Maybe it's easier to buy from their online store. Store is opened 7 days/week!

This place is more inline with whatever is left over or returned from the stores as its just aisle after aisle of racks with things stacked all over. As expected from a nofrills location there is hardly any help. Just pick what you find and then wait in the long long line. All this wouldn't matter if the prices were worth the trek but alas if you follow the promos from their normal stores I would say you will pay pretty much what you pay here give or take 2-3% discount. Their no returns policy is also a bummer which makes me want to not visit this place again. I would recommend it to the folks who are setting a kitchen up from a scratch and can't wait for the deals on a weekly basis as otherwise I don't see a point of coming here. 2.5 stars with the 0.5 star thrown on for the freebee coupon of 25% off any purchase at thir normal stores.

4.5 stars to start! I just started to consign some of my beloved items and I can definitely rate…read moreit as being a nice experience to consign here. This store sits on Queen St and just near the hip area of Ossington. Unlike the Ossington spots, Garb's store has the large windows that lets in a lot of natural light. When you first walk into the store, you don't think stereotypical 'consignment'. For starters, lots of items are in well thought out displays, everything is clean and pristine (more on this later), and Dan (the owner) is careful to choose which items he'd feel be sold and not sit on the shelves. Another thing about the store... it's well organized. So you don't feel like you're in a musty and cluttered place... instead everything is organized just to size and by type. Nice and easy to find that special or interesting piece. Working and talking to him was easy... he's very genuine and not once did he give me the look of "why did you buy this" haha... though to be fair, I had tags still on a lot of the items I brought in. I just hang on to things I should let go! He was very fair to price the items and made the whole service a breeze to go through. I do like how he has everything online so if you ever want to check if your item sold... all it takes is to log into your online account and voila! Easy to find. Other places require days for them to catalog and then you have to call in every time you're curious. Nahhhh not here. About the brands they carry... it's definitely premium and often you will find items with a tag on it. Nothing sits for more than 90 days here... for a buyer, it's great as you can items become discounted and find those amazing deals. With consignment, if you want tooo long, someone else can snatch it. Another great thing about Garb is the quality of the items... its all in good shape and if it's a bit dirty, he does ask the consignee to wash or dry clean before bringing it back! As a person who may buy from here, I really appreciate that. Overall, it's one of the better managed and better services I've been given from a consignment store. Here's hoping my items sell!

They've got some old school Pendleton and Woolrich flannel I could use in my closet. New clothing and accessories are also sold here. It's all arranged in a cool way, with men's stuff on the left and women's on the right. I come here mainly for enamel pins, and they have a good selection of that from many upcoming brands (including locally designed flair). I'm sure this type of store appeals to a very niche audience, but if you're someone to likes to rummage around for new and whimsical items, this spot is definitely for you.

I've never had a problem with staff or customer service, and I know they're fine with dogs coming in the store so you don't have to leave your pup outside while you shop.

The studio/shop is lovely and shopping was fun and hassle free and unpressured. I had a better sense of how stylish the clothes are. I had a mandate in mind. I'm doing a lot of travelling and I wanted to put together a wardrobe that was easily interchangeable and fun to wear and that would easily fit into a carry on suitcase. I'm thrilled with what I bought. The value and quality was great. I look forward to my next visit. Thank you Julie. I love your vision.

It's a nice, light, airy feeling in the store. There are two change rooms at the back & a mirror nearby so you can check out how things fit on you. Will definitely be back in the store in the future!
