The Ultimate Guide to Shopping Tomorrow’s Toronto Vintage Crawl
https://ift.tt/2tb6PEa
It’s that time of year again! Toronto’s twice annual vintage crawl is back and we’re super excited for a wardrobe refresh.
Tomorrow night, vintage stores across the city will be staying open late to offer special sales and entertainment. Many pop-up shops will also be participating in the event which goes from 5-11pm.
Vintage Crawl Toronto was founded in 2012 by stylist and editor Odessa Paloma Parker, who developed the event to promote independent retailers in the city and celebrate her love of vintage shopping. The crawl also helps establish a sense of community by connecting shoppers to small business owners in their neighbourhoods, and promotes the recirculation of clothes for a greener way of spending.
From stores that specialize in designer steals (hello, new Chanel bag) to boutiques dedicated to curating the perfect collection of jeans, the evening is sure filled with treasures.
We’ve listed some of our fave spots below, but also check out our attached map for a full list of participating stores.
Grab some friends and start planning your route!
