The $5 rack out front might be what first attracts you to this Kensington gem that's been run by the Scriver family for over 40 years, but the deeper you delve into this quirky blue house the more you find, like Indonesian buttons, beads from Mexico, silk scarves, cashmere sweaters and rings with eyes on them.

This Queen West staple isn't just a vintage store, it's practically a rite of passage, with prices on basics like essential band tees that any teen can afford. Dig a little deeper and you'll also find items like sunglasses, ties, jewellery and shoes.

Riverside's destination for all things vintage, this store stocks vests, tops, denim and printed tees. Expect retro jackets, sweaters, coats and fun graphic tees, brands like Tommy Hilfiger and also some items like crochet quilts.

Black Market's sister store in Parkdale sells men's and women's clothing but focuses a little more on premium vintage items rather than tees. Like its sibling, though, time spent in this delightfully cluttered space with great finds everywhere you look is an experience as much as it is a shopping trip.

This Parkdale spot is a definite essential for the vintage shopper, especially if you're on the hunt for that one collectible piece no one else has. Crewnecks, hoodies, jackets and tees are stocked alongside denim and accessories such as backpacks. You might even score brands like Gucci, Carhartt and Burberry.

West Queen West and Leslieville locations of this store exude effortlessly cool vibes with a ton of well-curated and well-organized options for jewellery, dresses, bottoms and tops. This is a great spot to find vintage cowboy boots, plus brands like Levi's.

Out of all the Kensington vintage shops, this is one that stands out. This one's for the leather lovers, with a good selection of bags, jackets, vests and even skirts. Pick up a brocade bag or vest as well for some major power clashing.

This Ossington shop for vintage designer womenswear is located right next to menswear sibling I Miss You MAN, and both are some of the most impressive vintages stores around with their curated selection of high-end fashion and dreamy window displays. Hermes, Gucci, Balmain, YSL: it's all here.
