Shoes for her and always met.

Recognizable among all, with its blue front and its mannequins adorning the second floor balcony, Courage My Love is a famous thrift store in Kensington Market. It's definitely one of those places where you can still find gems, if you're motivated to rummage around. You can also find a lot of vintage jewelry and accessories (sunglasses, gloves from the 1930s to the 1960s, antique buttons, etc.), not to mention a large selection ofbeads already assembled or individually.

Black Market Vintage Clothing is a boutique on Queen West Street (where the "Vintage" design is located between Aldo and Zara stores). A punk rock spirit and a nice selection of vintage and new clothes and accessories, with many discounts throughout the year. A well known address in the metropolis with a sister store, Public Butter (Queen West, just west of Dufferin Street), which also specializes in second hand clothes.

Discovered by pure chance during a stroll in the Bloordale Village area, this vintage store will certainly please the men. Carhartt jeans and coats, T-shirts featuring the mythical rap group Public Enemy, old school Nike caps, classic Polo sweaters... The choice is varied despite the limited space in the store and the arrivals are frequent. In the same line as the clothes and accessories, the decoration and the music pay tribute to the hip-hop culture. A great find!

The reference for the last twenty years in fashion and streetwear shoes with all the major brands from North America, Europe and Asia. You dream of acquiring the new Nike Terminator High or the famous pair of Stan Smith from Adidas? This is clearly the place to come! If the store specializes in shoes, you can also find streetwear and all kinds of accessories. Another branch in downtown Markham in the Greater Toronto Area. Online store as well.

Opened in 2001 and well established in its headquarters in the heart of The Beaches, this charming boutique is entirely dedicated to trendy fashion and accessories for women. Among the Canadian and foreign brands present in the store are Anne Marie Chagnon, Desigual, Esprit, Fly London, Matt & Nat, Pink Martini and Yoga Jeans. Bonus: the store also offers a great selection of gift items. To get a taste of what's on offer, take a look at the website, which also features an online store.

Here is a women's clothing boutique that will surely make you fall in love! A great selection of indie fashion and accessories from almost entirely Canadian designers (Valérie Dumaine, Eve Gravel, Birds of North America, Pink Martini, Jennifer Glasgow, Sara Duke, Lisbeth Jewellery, Allison Wonderland...), with a few international brands from, for example, Europe. There are three other branches in the west end of the city, on Queen Street West, Dundas Street West and Roncesvalles Avenue. Online store as well.

In 1973, Michael Budman and Don Green founded this famous Canadian ready-to-wear brand. Inspired by their love of Ontario's nature, and in particular Algonquin Provincial Park, Roots sells clothing with rather classic designs and cuts, reminiscent of archetypal Canadian tradition ("checked" jackets, faux fur boots, etc.). It goes without saying that the brand is very popular in the country, but also with tourists who wish to bring back clothing and accessories in the colours of Canada.

Opened in 2012 by mother-daughter duo Melo and Mahro Anfield, who have worked in the vintage industry for a long time, this adorable little boutique offers only vintage clothing and accessories, all handpicked. Not surprisingly, there is a nice selection of clothing, from pin-up dresses to old American jeans, for both men and women. The store may not be very big, but it is full of finds. A great place to find unique pieces! Online store as well.

This small shoe store prides itself on offering exclusive designer creations. The paradise of the stiletto heel, but also of the sandal and the small fashionable sneaker. In fact, all categories are represented here, for men, women and children. The store also sells various accessories, from bags to scarves, hats and umbrellas. Heel Boy also has a branch in Kingston (halfway between Montreal and Toronto). Online store as well.

Common Sort is environmentally conscious and operates on the "Buy - Sell - Trade" principle. Of course, unless you're in Toronto for a long time, you may not have clothes to sell or trade.
