Doll Factory by Damzels

  • 1122 Queen St. E. (at Pape Ave.) View on map »
  • 416-598-0509
Owned by Rory Lindo and Kelly Freeman, the cool chick designers behind the Damzels in This Dress line, this is the ultimate clothing and gift store for the aging (read: over 30) hipster. Bright pink walls with giant graphic flowers are the perfect girlie backdrop to their collection of gear awash in the “kustom kulture” aesthetic—rockabilly, tattoos, custom cars and plenty of kitsch. For fall, pick up an exclusive–to–Doll Factory postwar-look dress by Sailor Jerry, decorated with his tattoo art; a tattoo-inspired bag ($75–$90) matches perfectly. Top it all off with a sweet ’50s-esque Steady cardigan embroidered with swallows ($70) and jewellery from Classic Hardware ($45–$60). Naturally, there are also racks of the Damzels’ own frocks, and Doll Factory camisoles and panties.
