Toronto Shopping Recs

Heading to Toronto to work on/off for the next few months, looking for any worthwhile shops. Diverse interests, and figure other people may reference this question so not asking for any Specific Brands. Good clothes shops, jewelry shops, artsy joints, etc

Since all the retail stores I like were mentioned (MG/P&P/L&F are all goated imo) don't pass up on the vintage stores in parkdale and the cosignment stores on queen/ossington. Places like In Vintage We Trust, Public Butter, Black Diamond Vintage, I Miss you Man, etc. If you are in that area stop in at loga's corner too for some top tier dumplings

Uncle Otis, Lost & Found and Park & Province are musts IMO. Gravity Pope kinda stinks, but it's between L&F and P&P so it's worth poking your head in. Muddy George is good. Blue Button Shop is great if you want to check out a bunch of cool Japanese brands. If you're into brands like Rick Owens and Julius then Serpentine can be worth a look, but it's not really near much else on your list. Also agree with vintage places. It's worth going out east to check out Coffee and Clothing, they have amazing curation of old military and vintage stuff. Latre in the Junction is also great, they have vintage military stuff as well as insanely cool upcycled 1/1 pieces made in studio. If you're really into tailoring, Sydney's on Queen is great but can really add up quickly in price.

There’s a Hogtown Flea on the 20th depending on when you’re here. C&C and Latre focus more on militaria (esp Latre) just FYI. Kensington Market has gotten a lot pricier but there’s a lot of vintage in the area.
