Since moving a few blocks west, this veteran Queen Street shop focuses less on secondhand duds and more on affordable overstock alongside some brand new stuff. As such, there’s a lot from Isaac Mizrahi’s everyday line, from nubbly cardigans to smart little jackets, for both women and men. There’s also weekend clingwear from Costa Blanca, jean jackets from the likes of Fubu and Replay, and so on. A Pink dress in trendy grey-blue damask print on yellow or green is $175. There are still some vintage finds, too: wicked cowboy boots in awesome condition go for $150-ish (the selection favours men), a nerdy pair of Dack’s white and maroon brogues are $50 and wool coats in every shade of the rainbow are around $85. Fans of feathered fedoras and other old time hats should definitely stop by. The expanded accessories section includes the work of local artists who use semi-precious stones at good prices.
