Cartel

Jam Master Jay Mural The east meets west. Identity, on Queen Street East, has opened up a new store on Queen Street West known as Cartel. Clayton, owner of both boutiques, has done a good job at keeping the new shop aesthetically clean and the selection of clothes plenty - ladies you aren't left out.

Several brands in stock:
Crooks & Castles
10 Deep
Rocksmith
Lemar & Dauley
King stampede
In4mation
Hellz Bellz
MOB
+ More Turntables Cartel does not have a Las Vegas billboard sized sign but it sure does have another good way of grabbing your attention. A few meters away from the store I could already hear the words of Sean Price out of Cartel's speakers and point of interest began from then on. A good playlist is necessary for my enjoyment in shopping - nothing worse than having to pump up the volume on my mp3 player to mask the horrible songs playing throughout a store. Outfits Upon entrance of the store I was greeted by two chill and helpful guys - Mike and Christian. Both put together two outfits. The left will run you about $250 while the right will get you all the way up to $1250. Crooks & Castles Artwork and displays around the shop compliment the walls. Upstairs is a room solely dedicated to Crooks & Castles. Hoboken and Haberdashery have brought vintage POLO pieces into the shop for a limited time only.

Future plan for Cartel is to receive Homeroom, 3sixteen, 3 sixteen's subline Nhtvsn, and Crooks & Castles exclusives. Consignment for shoes is also off for now but will be back in the near future. Exterior

the store is rather over priced, most items can be purchased off karmaloop
