what are some good boutiques to find rare labels?
- piperboytoy0
you're from Brooklyn, why go shopping in Toronto?
you have to come to Banff for the rare labels.

i dont get your question.
what is a "boutique"
or a "rare label"
or "what are"?
you lost me at T.O.what are you looking for?

i think he meant boutiques that carries rare designer labels.
He'd probably find better stuff in NY trash cans than in Toronto

woah. to clarify then, in TORONTO, where are some good places to shop to find unique clothing/ rare labels. Coming from nyc, I am not looking to go to urban outfitters but i do know to start on queen street.

actually piperboy, the shopping in toronto is pretty awesome, but i don't know what you like to wear so you might not think so. i just haven't been there in a few years.

Start on Queen (West of Spadina)
Also try Kensington Market for designer and vintage cothing.

Delphic is cool http://superfuture.com/city/revi…
you should go through that link I posted earlier, it list some of the cool stores in town.

also uncle otis, but they sell mostly fresh jive and stussy stuff.
and Vice on queen has ok stuff too.
Over the Rainbow in Yorkville has nice variety.
Boomer on queen street west has nice upscale men's designer stuff. more formal stuff.
Also there is this store called Great stuff on Queen west. it's next to liberty park. it has lots of menswear at sample prices. you might have to dig, but everything is new and not used.

How about places in Toronto where you can buy clothing and shoes not stitched together with the stumpy fingers of Asian factory slave children?
Other than American Apparel.

Vice isn't on Queen anymore, I don't think they have a store in Toronto currently.
