Cheap designer clothing in Toronto is everywhere — provided you know where or when to look. Toronto's consignment stores are a huge trove of designer scores. The time served by that 3.1 Phillip Lim dress in someone else's closet can translate to major savings for you.

Here are some great stores for cheap designer clothing in Toronto.

VSP Consignment

A veteran on Dundas West, VSP stocks smashing secondhand goods curated with a careful eye. For discerning bargain hunters, that means pieces from the likes of Céline, Balmain, Hérmes, and Prada marked down as far as 80%.

Fashionably Yours

This Queen West consignment store is a favourite spot for those looking to ditch — and replace — their designer duds. You can find luxury bags from the likes of Alexander Wang, Balenciaga, YSL, and Givenchy, plus lesser-known celeb cult favourites like Les Petit Jouer.

Tom's Place

This Kensington Market suit retailer, open since 1958, is famous for its excellently-priced designer men's wear selection and unparalleled level of customer service. On-site tailors can help you find (and fit into) brand name business apparel, formal wear, and accessories here.

Common Sort

With locations in Riverside, Parkdale, and The Annex, this cool consignment shop sells designer duds for dudes and ladies alike. You can buy high-end labels, like Miu Miu and Escada, at stunning prices here — and they'll purchase your old (mint-condition) threads too.

Marshall's

I once found a Proenza Schouler PS1 bag at the John and Richmond location of this chain for less than half price. It's also a hotspot for discount denim — you can score designer jeans from the likes of Hudson, J Brand, Citizens of Humanity, and Paige quite inexpensively.

Winners

Sure, it's home to plenty of no-name sweaters and juniors-sized jeans, but the discounted "Runway at Winners" pieces step up the thrill of the hunt. Designer pieces seem to hang around longest at the College Park, Bloor, and Queen and Portland locations.

Consumed

The owners of this designer shop in the Manulife Centre want to make designer wear affordable. Here, you can find major markdowns on some of the trendiest designer threads like Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, and Prada.

Garb

You can find gently used designer pieces in a range of prices, from downright affordable to still-slightly-pricey, at this West Queen West designer consignment store. 

Designer Exchange

This Etobicoke designer consignment shop has been "promoting sustainable luxury in [their] neighbourhood by offering luxury consignment" since 2016. With an exceptional selection of shoes and handbags at very reduced prices, this shop is your wardrobe's new BFF.

Just Thrift

This North York hidden gem has gone viral more than once when folks have discovered the steals they could find on designer items like Canada Goose jackets and Marc Jacobs purses.
