Big box stores all seem to have one thing in common: Tons of mass-produced clothing that’s seen on too many people. When you’re ready to separate yourself from the herd with a unique, hand-picked wardrobe, give these independent clothing boutiques a chance to help you define your style.
This Queen East store was started by, in their own words, “two babes out to kick some fashionable a**.” You can bet the clothes here will be distinctive and fun. These are threads with an edge; garments that loudly proclaim that you’re a strong woman. The designers featured here create clothes with a strong sense of femininity, as seen in their body-hugging lines, sensual curves and flattering cuts.
Men in search of their own distinct sense of style should come here directly. The devil-may-care attitude about their clothing only heightens the shop’s cool factor. You do need a sense of daring to wear this shop’s clothing, as just about nothing here can be considered conservative in style (especially with its swallow logo printed on everything). Silkscreen printing classes are also available, offering the chance for you to create your own clothing and original design.
If you’re on a budget but still motivated to build a wardrobe that’s distinctly your own, then you may find those rare and one-of-a-kind items here. This boutique prides itself on being one of the city’s first consignment stores, giving buyers and sellers a chance to recycle cherished but still useful goods. You’ll find clothes in all different styles and for any occasion.
