I literally have a blazer that I purchased in 2008 that I STILL wear and it still looks good and relevant. The prices are somewhat on the high side but I feel they are justified for the most part.

Located in Yorkville (across from Anthropologie which I think is owned by the same company…read moreanyways), this store has a downstairs (separate entrance) where the lingerie, shapers and some pjs are kept. I did love some of the bras - they were just unique and sexy and just beautiful. And expensive....one bra I really loved was $88. I just couldn't justify it. I didn't see one bra that had any padding - mostly all sheer which is unfortunate because if you aren't blessed in the chest department I don't think they would look as well as compared to someone who could fill it out. Go outside and then upstairs is where the clothing is. Located on 2 levels it of course has the feel of Anthropologie and similar pricing. This week they have 30% off their sale items. Some jewelry, shoes but mostly clothes I wasn't that impressed by the clothing. I more so loved the lingerie. If you have any sexy time coming up (Valentines Day??!) and just want something that makes you feel lovely then definitely check out their bras.

I think its kind of unfair for moi to review clothing stores as my previous life in textiles makes…read moreme look for certain things (read flaws) that might not have any effect of what one or more importantly others think of what you are wearing. Nonetheless in the age where mainstream brands have brought somewhat formal clothing within reach of mere mortals I would say this place is a decent alternate if you don't want to join the now its sale/boxing day and load up approach for a specific brand. Some of the stuff I tried fit well and I kind of like the color scheme and cut they offer. Prices were decent and the setup is nice and open. I never felt pressured into trying something on and help was there when needed. I would say give it a look if you think their style of clothing is up your alley. 3.5 Stars

Sitting pretty on Ossington is a really large Tiger of Sweden. The size of the store is something…read moreI normally would see in a big shopping mall. Tiger of Sweden fits Ossington nicely as the location and brand both lean towards the young, urban, and trendy. You do need to bring your gold card here though... it does have really nice textures and quality but you pay for it. Right now in December, they have some really great sales. Stepping in the large serene and modern space, I noticed more than half the rack had 30 to 40% off. I was impressed as it wasn't just a token rack in the back on sale. The clean lines and fit of the clothes leans torwards the European slim build and I personally like that. Tiger of Sweden did originally start in menswear but their woman's wear is really nice as well. Think easy pieces that transition from Bay St office to evening in a nice upscale restaurant. The service here is friendly and attentive ... though they do know that it is annoying to hover. They don't do that thankfully. They offer insights on sizing as it is in European sizing. It's not the usual American brand sizing. It was easy to try items on and even though I tried on a few coats among the store, I never once felt the heavy pressure of a sales tactic. Overall, really nice clean modern aesthetic that will last beyond a season in terms of quality & style.

They had the soft opening on 2022-07-13 and grand opening on 2022-08-14. This brand started in New York City in 2005. They used to do wholesale in suits and ties. They have changed their clothing line to fit the new trends. They have an unconventional logo. Their first store was opened in Miami in 2018 under new ownership. They have expanded worldwide. They use Pima cotton fabric, locally grown in Peru, and the clothes are made in New York City. In their polos, they use 4-way diamond stitching (allowing for 4-way stretch) so it won't look different after hundreds of wears. All their buttons in their polo shirts are made with nacre (instead of plastic) and finished with mother-of-pearl. Prices are quite high; eg, polo shirts are $70-$150. Sweat pants are around $160. They have sales of up to 50% off. Be careful because many price tags have US$ on the left and C$ on the right. The clothing line is popular in warm climates because of the bold colours. There is a Japanese line, called Outline, that has more subdued colours. The staff are courteous and willing to help. They know a lot about their merchandise. I learnt most of what I know of the clothing from them. A few of the clothes come in boys sizes. There are 2 change rooms. There are quite a few stores in the GTA. They don't all carry the same items. Collections change every 3-4 weeks. There is a premium outlet store at Toronto Premium Outlet Mall that sells older products. There is free WiFi. The store is wheelchair accessible. There are no customer washrooms, but you can use the Eaton Centre washrooms. There is paid parking at Eaton Centre and nearby. Review 2023-014

I'm in Canada and placed an order via their "Global-e". I needed to make a return…read more First, I was not able to create a return label on the Global-e website. I contacted customer service, and it was resolved after two days. Then, they charged the $15 return fee, but REFUSE to refund the sales taxes of $50 that they collected at the time of purchase. I contacted customer service again. Five days later, they said the taxes were forwarded to my local "customs authorities" and ask me to claim them back myself. It's only been 2 weeks since I placed the order and return the product. I don't believe the taxes are forwarded to any Canadian authorities at this time. They didn't provide any detailed information on which authority they forwarded the taxes to, and when the taxes collected from me were forwarded. If the product is still in its "returnable period", any taxes collected should NOT be forwarded to any other parties. Why would you give out the taxes knowing the product could be returned? This return cost me $65 for nothing but a very frustrating and disappointing experience! My friend recommend them to me, but I'm very disappointed! Please save your peace of mind, and don't buy from this brand! There are a ton of other choices and retailers who provide great customer service! Date of experience: 08 December 2022

If London streetwear edginess and urban influence could be packaged in a store inside Canada? it…read morewould be AllSaints. Well known for their leather jackets and more fitted skinny wear, it does bring the style over the Atlantic. The store in Yorkdale is quite similar to the ones you find in UK. The one I visited in Leeds had half the space but the darkness and industrial loft vibe is the same. With men's wear on one side and women's wear on the other, you can easily look around to see if any particular cloth interest you. Most of the time, AllSaints colour scheme is dark ... olives, grey, black, or brown. Occasionally you'll get the cream or maybe a navy. This time.. weirdest thing, they had Hawaiian shirts for the men's. Like I said, weird and unexpected. The women's line tend to have a touch more colour. With summer season, they did have a few cute summer dresses. Aside from a darker colour palette, the women's wear has an obvious trend. Nothing form fitting but it can be short! Their mini dresses or skirts can much shorter than you're used to! That being said they do have a bunch of items that are ok to bend over and not feel like you're gonna be the next meme. I do find their clothes to be very different compared to most North American brands. I highly suggest you try them on ... even the ones that look terrible on the rack. I ended up falling in love with one that looks like a potato sack ... turns out it has a gorgeous low cut drape in the front and it's short. Price wise... it's not cheap at all but I do find the materials very soft and the clothes well made. They may not have a lot of tailored edges or special styling, but I find their clothes stand up well to wash and wear. It is a bit trendy so they trend may die before the clothes do. They do sales as well... I think I saw a few nice pieces for 40%. So if you're not looking to spend $100 on a shirt, you could wait for the sale. Service here was pretty good ... they were greeting everyone and letting them know of the store wide sale. They were also proactive to help find a size and also help match up other items to what we tried to find. I maybe biased but I have fond memories shopping in London at AllSaints. I feel the Canadian stores have a very similar experience. Maybe I'm not edgy enough to wear all the street clothes but I'll check out the cute sundress next time I'm in Yorkdale.

Stepping in to Community 54 I found the makings of an old school arcade. There was Street Fighter pinball, Galaga, NBA Jam and others. Suddenly waiting for table didn't seem so bad. But this isn't really an arcade. It's a retail shop that houses a healthy mix of new and vintage clothing, hats and accessories. Everything here is reminiscent of that liminal space between the 80s and 90s. Neon, hiphop, record-scratchy. Actually it's more than a retail shop; it's a man cave. The fashions are casual and fun, and the guys working here are more than OK with it if you just chill out and pump quarters into Terminator 2. Dudesque touches about. A large Canadian flag hangs from the ceiling and unfurls into a makeshift changeroom. There is a boombox on the floor. Kewl place. Obligatory Title Pun: LIV it up at 54! Menu Readability: Their understated signage is more befitting a Detroit barbershop than a hipster curio emporium; I suppose that is the point. Need to mention: I think they throw events here from time to time.

They have a handful of partnerships going with companies from New York where Community 54 started. This Toronto location is part of their expansion plan to move into new markets. I'm hoping that they will be able to keep each store unique to the community it's located in rather than try and sell the same things everywhere and further homogenize consumer culture. Perhaps I'm starting to get a little deep for a review but things like this excite and scare me at the same time. If we're all wearing the same things and shopping in the same places then does it really matter where we go or what we do since it's literally the exact same experience everywhere? Wow, totally went off topic there. What else is there to say about this place? Everything is for sale. Everything. The benches, the little things that look like knick knacks, the video games at the front door, everything. Most of the clothing on display is for men so far but they have plans to bring in more stuff as they can. They have the tiniest kids section I've ever seen and I'm pretty sure that won't be an ongoing thing but it was funny to see these tiny little sweaters next to men's over sized jackets. The feel of this place is somewhere between nostalgic 90s hip hop (as seen in the black Bart Simpson dunking a basketball tee shirt) and 70s work wear (think blue collar not disco) with lots of retro sports jackets, tee shirts and baseball caps from Good Wood. I wish I could remember the other brands they were carrying but you'll just have to take a look for yourself. I was told that they will have denim eventually and they want to start selling shoes as well. The rest of the store is dedicated to classic arcade game cabinets. The front of the store houses a Galaga and Terminator 2 among other things. You can play them in the store if you like but they are also for sale. I didn't ask what they were selling for because I don't have space for a cabinet but I'm sure they aren't cheap. I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds for Community 54 because I like what I've seen so far.

Housed in a cute Victorian small-town cottage beside the Leslieville Pumps gas station/grub joint, the store is like a teleporter to that other side of Queen Street, that I wonder if I am even in my own neighbourhood anymore whenever I step inside. I guess it's a sign of the times in the east end, as much as it is an interesting addition to the Leslieville strip. I was forwarded a meme whilst contemplating this nonsense (because apparently no one else has yet, bloody hell), and on it, a satirical list of things purported to be signs your 'hood is gentrifying, including an "inexplicable general store." Inexplicable. General. Store. I guess that best explains Good Neighbour. True to form, the place is filled with all sorts of eclectic and stylish stuff of all random categories scattered everywhere, like greeting cards, clothes and outerwear, mugs, footwear, backpacks, cosmetics, stationery. It's sort of like a Drake General Store (or maybe even an Urban Outfitters), but with more emphasis on fashion and lifestyle goods... and less on random cheeky hipster gag gift kitsch. There's a small kids section tucked in the back by the fitting room stalls, with an assortment of dresses, toys, puzzles, and humourous books. The men's stuff upstairs kind of scares me with the quantity of soaps and toiletries for the discerning well-groomed hip man. The place itself is a marriage of curated hip(ster) tastes (oh wait, they even have a table of selected Drake General Store crap for sale), and Club Monaco chic. Thankfully like a good neighbour the folks here don't stink so much of that douchey we're-too-cool-for-thou attitude that many hipster businesses are known for--they instead stink of individual cheerful Queen West-esque personality and a level of helpfulness not normally seen in a more corporate fashion boutique. Pricey? Kinda expected that. What is not expected are the sale offers that do pop up time and time again. My sister claims she bought a pair of jeans here for less than what Hudson's Bay was charging for the same brand. But I usually end up with socks, or scarves, or cards. Or whatever. {TTC: take the 72 bus or the 501-2-3 to Queen/Carlaw}

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!

There were more adorable earrings, purses, and clothes than I could fathom. My friend and I wandered the store for nearly an hour alternately exclaiming, "cute!" with mouth agape or chatting up the staff. As Erin H mentions, each showcased artist/designer works onsite once a week. The only downside to this is if inquiring minds have questions about something other than the artist du jour personally made, there won't be any answers. And as a person with some hard core metal allergies, I won't buy jewelry unless I am certain that it doesn't contain anything that will make my earlobes swell. However, I was lucky to encounter the artist who crafted the earrings that fell in love with and so, got to take them home with me (and support the local arts). Plus, I was able to be a helper that day (I love being of assistance). As the resident artist handed me a credit card receipt, I was able to pass along this little tip: legal colors only please! I passed on the pink pen handed to me and instead signed with a my own, handy blue plume. For, although I wasn't planning on contesting the charges, anyone could attempt to do so and without either a customer's blue or black ink signature on file, the store might end up "out" some fundage.
