A neurodivergent thrift store is coming to Toronto

A thrift pop-up is happening in Toronto this month and it features a lineup of all-neurodivergent vendors.

Thrift stores and pop-ups are a dime a dozen in the city, but Thriftism has a unique angle; it's held by a collective of queer and neurodiverse vendors to create a welcoming space for their community.

Running Friday to Sunday every weekend from the second weekend of January to the first weekend of February, the pop-up will feature goods from a number of local Toronto vendors, including Aesthetic Trash Vintage who operates a retail space out of Ed's Mercantile in the Annex.
