Groove to a hip-hop beat as you browse for casualwear and club gear at this discount boutique in Lawrence Plaza. “There’s always a sale here,” says owner Asad Safdar, who slashes prices by at least 30 per cent. The shop caters mostly to teens, but older patrons will find merchandise that could double for the trendier pieces at Holt’s and Aritzia, including bling- encrusted tops ($20) and designer jeans ($20–$135). For club kids, a rack at the back is filled with tube tops ($24), jeans and mini-dresses. Label hounds will find markdowns on items from the likes of Baby Phat, Parasuco and Sean John. For the guys, options include velour track suits ($125) and striped shirts ($50).
Hours:
M–F 10–9, Sa 10–7, Su 11–6.
