This Queen West vintage staple no longer sits in a basement but it’s still grungy as ever. Black Market has moved its racks of graphic tees, plaid flannels and other punk rock necessities—all for a typical flat price of $10 per item—to where Active Surplus used to be across the street. Shop their pricier finds online.

For over 40 years the Scriver family has been packing this mystical blue house in Kensington Market with Indonesian buttons, endless cupboards of beads from Mexico and vintage clothing galore. Some main draws: their $5 rack out front, cupboards from scrounging and vintage cashmere sweaters, some tie-dyed inhouse.

Black Market’s sprawling sister store in Parkdale carries an eclectic curation of men’s and women’s looks.
