Explore Riverside and Uncover Vintage Treasures

The adventure of thrifting and taking care of the planet while promising a unique find is a vibe on its own.

Here are five vintage clothing shops in Toronto’s Riverside neighbourhood you must check out:

Step into Second Voyage and experience a fresh approach to vintage decor. Their collection features a diverse array of unique housewares and clothing with a modern twist. Second Voyage prioritizes quality, offering items with a versatile and timeless appeal that seamlessly blend with current trends. Their top-quality vintage finds are curated to elevate your style with a touch of retro charm.

From graphic tees and shirts to vintage denim and cargoes, Good Juice Box boasts a well-curated inventory, which is personally handpicked by the owner. If you want to know more about an item on display, check the price tags for fun, handwritten descriptions.

Ran’s Closet carries a good mix of vintage clothing (the patched moto jackets are a highlight) and one-off reworked/upcycled pieces. For those into K-fashion, they stock brand new apparel from Korean ready-to-wear brands as well.

Although Arts Market is more of a gift shop and vendor market for 50+ local artisans, they do carry secondhand clothing. There’s a small display on the main floor which includes a selection of bags; but down in the basement, there’s more vintage goods to browse through.

Looking for shoes? Common Sort has a great selection of pre-loved footwear neatly displayed. They also offer a personal shopper service if you need help finding the right pieces. Plus, it's a fantastic spot to bring your clothing that's ready for a new owner to show it off. Thrift is the real green!

Join us for a special event featuring all the stores on this list, along with a small curated market outdoors at Queen Garden Centre & Cafe. Enjoy in-store promotions, live DJ sets, and more surprises throughout the day!
