They've got a tiny store in the basement of a building at King and Erb, but it's a gem for finding…read morecheap, but current second-hand clothes. For students who love thrift shopping, but find it hard to find something for them each time, this store should leave you satisfied every time. Their prices are really fair as well, usually ranging between $10-$20 for an item of clothing. As an example, I've see ASOS shorts go for $16 (which could be 2-3 times as much originally) and an Aritzia winter coat go for $150 (originally $300+). They often have brands you'll recognize like Zara, American Apparel, Aritzia, Urban Outfitters, etc. and they post their new arrivals on Instagram, but since they don't hold new arrivals those clothes can get snatched up within the day. They also sell accessories like sunglasses, atlas watches, scarves, and necklaces. The store itself is really nice and quaint. It's got an industrial style with brick walls and wooden furnishings. They also have a change room and one person working to help you out.

3.5. Quaint little consignment shop with selections for men and women. Prices are reasonable, and…read moresometimes you can get quite a steal. There's a lot of H&M and Forever 21 finds (it is a university town), but you'll also see nicer brands like BDG or Guess. I'm a little disappointed there's less vintage pieces that weren't large. However, they do a really good job of creating a cool mood through their displays and decor and indie music - even the plainest tank can catch your eye. Overall, a cute spot to stop by if you're in the area. Support sustainable local shops!

I always like to go to Out of the Past when I'm looking for something funky…read more I've been to their locations in both Hamilton and Kitchener and I must say that the one in Kitchener is MUCH more awesome! The girl that was working the counter was friendly and helpful, even when they didn't have what I was looking for. But whether you're on the hunt for a funky vintage dress, fun alternative spiked jewellery, or something to add to your goth/steampunk wardrobe, Out of the Past most likely has something for you. I've found everything there from vintage back braces to Ugly Christmas Sweaters, to huge spiked collars, to military wear, to Lipservice and TRIPP clothing. It's kind of hit-or-miss if they'll have what you want, being as a lot of it is vintage. Of course they can't guarantee what will be there. . .but it's always an adventure going in and hunting around for that treasure that you feel is probably hiding just beyond your sight somewhere. . .

I never buy my clothes second hand so I can't comment on the thrift clothes but I can say I was…read morepleased with the new band tee I bought. I was originally looking for a Velvet Underground tee (the Andy Warhol one) but like Catacombs down the street they didn't have it. They did however have the Joy Division shirt that I've been looking for. The shirt was priced at $20 and the woman said that if I just pay with cash she won't charge any tax so another win. I also think the staff is really friendly but the place does look a little shady and the changing "rooms" are just little spaces with a curtain and a mirror on a chair lol

She was able to find clothing in our sizes and suggested a lot of pieces to us based on what we were trying on. To me, I think the prices were very fair and they were of excellent quality. There were also some other cool trinkets and accessories. This store has anything for everybody!!!!! Loved it

Brilliant clothing store, (not second hand)…read more Lots of decent men's brands can usually be found at a decent discount. I can usually find a couple of Penguin shirts for $30 or $40. In fact last week I did just that, 2 short sleeve penguin summer shirts for under $100 including tax. The men's selection is about 35% of the entire store, and includes a pretty decent (if rarely discounted) accessories section. This is a place I always try to visit when visiting the town

The back of the store has all kinds of costumes, jewelry, and vintage hats which is a blast to look through. For a cost, you can dress up in the costumes and have your photo taken and printed. Such a charming unique shop! I'll definitely stop in again, the next time I'm in town.
