Vintage on the Danforth












There are two amazing vintage inspired clothing stores on the Danforth that I don't think enough people know about. Preloved and Tabula Rasa create gorgeous clothes from old pre-worn vintage fabrics.

Preloved has been very successful at its Queen Street West location and has now opened its first pop-up store here on the Danforth. This Toronto based label specializes in taking vintage pieces and reworking them to fit the modern styles of today. Every item of clothing is made to be one of a kind so you don't have to worry about someone else owning the same piece of clothing as you. I have to say although some of the items are a little pricey, going green never looked better.

Tabula Rasa is a great new addition to the Danforth area this shop hosts clothes and accessories that are vintage, reworked as well as new and upcoming labels. Jennifer Park the owner of Tabula Rasa was born and raised in the Riverdale area and opening this store in the area she has grown up in has been a dream come true for her.

All the clothes are hand picked by Park and categorized perfectly to catch your attention. Park has a great sense of style and I think she has done an exceptional job styling her store. I enjoy re-visiting this store time after time to see what new great things she will find and I have a hard time leaving without buying something. Again this is a great store to find one of a kind items that will set you a part from everyone else.
