We went to Exile around the corner and they had none, completely sold out from what they may have had earlier. I also got a great ugly xmas sweater for $10. Check this place first!

I never walk out of this store without something fabulous. Very well selected pieces, at VERY…read morereasonable prices! I am always surprised how inexpensive it is to get vintage clothing in such great condition. I have never taken something home from Stella Luna to discover a surprise stain or loose button. What I like most about Stella Luna is the owner. She is absolutely fabulous. Very honest with your selections. If you notice something isn't fitting properly or is not the perfect choice for your skin tone, she can usually offer something that will suit you a little more. This style of shopping may not be every one's cup of tea, but I find it immensely helpful as I am often shopping alone. I definitely appreciate the feedback and the no pressure attitude to buy. As a last note - the hat selection is superb!

Check out the local handmade masks for $15.

Super nice staff and I am so glad they have reopened. You know I love all things retro and this store has fantastic items for sale. Tons of character!

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.

If you're patient and persistent, you can even find new items with tags on them. This is one of the larger VVs around which means larger selection of items as well (they have a large curtain section). At least once a month they have a big 50% off sale. If you are a Super Savers Club member, you can go the day before a sale and get the discount (go early because it gets pretty crowded later on in the day) Haven't run into any problems with the staff but I haven't needed to bother them for anything either.

The sign says "hand-picked vintage" and it's a good description. The space is quite small (looks like a converted apartment, with 2 small rooms and a hallway) and the selection is not as vast as some of the bigger vintage shops. However, each piece is carefully chosen (hence the name). The owner is really friendly and as my shopping partner and I perused the racks, she gave us back-stories for many of the pieces that caught our eyes. She also has altered some of the items to make them more wearable circa now. Compared to other vintage stores, there were some really kooky/costumey pieces here, include a gold lamé jumpsuit ("I had to take that one... it has stirrups!!") and a gothic, Addams-Family-esque black velvet dress with white lace detailing. This would be a fantastic place to find the perfect Halloween costume. It's also a great place to re-live the 90's. As I was browsing, I found myself repeatedly saying to my friend - "omg, remember these?!?" Like those cutout shoulder dresses. Other finds include leopard printed faux-fur coats and beat-up vintage leather jackets for men. There's a sale rack (currently 50% off some winter merchandise) and a $10 accessories section at the back. Definitely worth a look!

Even the change room curtain looks like outer space. It's a small and cozy shop that's never too busy. I almost didn't want to write this review because it's one of the city's best kept vintage secrets. The clothes: Whereas a lot of vintage shops in the city have a huge variety of clothing from all kinds of different eras, Chosen features a well-curated selection of clothes that appeal to anyone with a lust for the 90s (ie. me) and girls who want to be a bit more badass and a bit less girly. But this doesn't mean they don't have girly t't to Chosen and you can find sexy little lace slips, James Dean-esque leather jackets, and combat boots for dancing all night. The staff: No complaints here. The owner and the one other girl I've met are both super friendly, helpful and full of interesting tidbits about the pieces. Best finds: I bought the most comfortable/warm/amazing winter boots here that I will keep forever and always.

My friend and I spend a good hour downstairs just playing different records and dancing around LOL. I came here because it was noted that they have a lot of cameras and I was surprised to see them all myself. Initially, I was a little nervous about buying a film camera because I am not very familiar with them but the representative that was there (Maggie) provided me with a lot of insights and useful information on each brand. She was very patient and helpful and made me feel at ease so I left the store confident. Also, the shop is located on Danforth so after my visit, I just went on an adventure and ate a lot of food. I truly loved everything at this store and it was an honour conversing with Maggie. I fully dedicate myself and wallet to this shop and I can't wait to come back!
