My first couple trips to Little White Sneakers, I had thought it was great and even recommended…read morethem to friends since not many knew that they sell preloved clothing and also support local crafters (like hair elastics and bracelets). I liked getting some used clothing of brand names for less, like Hatley and Roots. There may be some good finds hidden but there are also a lot of clothes that look outdated. I have also purchased new stuff for my kid, like hair bands, stockings, hair elastic, bracelet, and ear muffs. Unlike other preloved stores, this one does not have a rewards program for more purchases. Their new clothing is usually like almost $60 for one dress for a toddler. However, there may be new staff here that don't feel as welcome when I walk in. Their preloved stuff is sometimes overpriced. And my first consignment try was a disappointment. Instead of telling me the requirements of what they accept, they had me sign a paper with my details and drop off - when I asked for details on the rules they have, the woman told me it was same as that sheet of paper. They had me hopeful that my kid's outgrown clothes will sell. They rejected the item and I had to schedule another trip in to pick it up. It would have been easier if I knew the first time. They don't seem to greet visitors to the store or ask to be helpful anymore like they used to.

It houses new and previously owned branded kid's/infant's clothing and shoes arranged from sizes and age, along with new items like hats and adorable sunglasses. Exclusive brands like Jack and Lily, Burberry, Nordstroms, Ralph Lauren, Prada, Gucci have declared no introductions needed that withstands wash and wear, appearing unspoiled and brand new once on the shelves at a fraction of the cost. Feeling out the materials while wandering the store after a full minute will make you forget brands that mass produce vapid onesies and jeans that are light years behind trendy and isn't comfortable at all, based on my son's immediate tantrum after I have him fitted in a $10 jeans that look super cool but rough on his sensitive skin. Between baby showers, birthdays, hand me downs from family and friends, we sometimes are stuck with a vast selection of majority brands that are mainstream and I personally feel it's so yummy to watch my 7 month old infant beat his papa's swagger any day with an $80 Burberry off-white onesie. A splurge and a score!

This is my go-to place in the Chinatown mall for cheap clothes. Chock full of retro styling, it's a…read moregreat place to shop for kids, especially ones that are young enough not to realize the style may not be appropriate. Need a suit for a 3 year old? They have em. I last went there for pajamas for myself and was very impressed with the service. Kathy offered pajama fitting advice (you need to move around, she said) as well as offered to let me take them home, try them on, and return them for a different size. I thought, 'how nice!' The pajamas are great quality (60% cotton apparently) thick and luxurious with the classic styling we all are familiar with including the piping around the edges and the breast pocket. This place is worth a look if you are in the neighbourhood.

When I first walked in, I was greeted by the associate in a warm and friendly tone. I was hoping to…read morefind some pants that was on sale for my kids however they didn't have any. The associate made recommendations for other products. I usually shop for my kid's clothes at Carters because they carry a wide variety of selection. I do wait for most items to go on clearance before purchasing. Most of the time I can find great deals like anything between $5-$8 for shirts and pants which is definitely a steal.

I am writing to formally complain about the conduct of a sales associate during my recent visit to…read moreyour store on August 29th at 4:19 pm. I found the interaction inappropriate, presumptuous, and inconsistent with the level of professionalism I would expect from a customer-facing employee. Upon entering the store, the sales associate greeted me by saying, "Hey Mama." I was taken aback by this and asked her directly why she was referring to me as "Mama." Rather than acknowledging that the comment was inappropriate or simply apologizing, she responded, "I assume you were a mama." I left your store immediately. I find this response particularly concerning. The sales associate did not know me, had no personal information about me, and had no basis for making an assumption about my personal circumstances. Regardless of what she may have intended, referring to a customer as "Mama" based on an assumption about their appearance, pregnancy, or parental status is presumptuous and crosses an appropriate professional boundary.

I don't have kids, so what the heck do I know about buying gifts for them? Answer - nothing! And…read morethat's why a store like Little Peeps is great. I go in, explain the age and gender of the child I'm buying for, give a few adjectives about the parents, provide a budget, and BOOM they bring out a bunch of stuff to choose from. The store itself is really cute. The people who work there are pleasant, and they sell some fair-trade and environmentally friendly toy and clothing options. Worth a gander if you're in the neighbourhood.

The store was pretty well organised and I love how they do promote different seasonal items and…read moreoccasions at the front of the store. For example during the holidays, they had all the Santa and snowmen fleece onesies and Christmas outfits at the front for easy browsing. They also do a lot of promotions and clearance sales once in a while. The selection of toys are decent and most are very used not gently used but the clothing selection is great. In the back there are also many bins filled with shoes and sometimes the sizes are not sorted well but still decent selection for each size. Staff are nice and checkout is always a breeze. Have yet to sell anything to them so can not say for that end but as a buyer I'm satisfied and do keep coming back to check out new stock.

What they carry is very nice. Unfortunately as others have noted the customer service is lacking. I…read morehave been there twice and have been either ignored or just been treated rudely. I am not sure if they feel being in Rosedale they should be snobby towards customers but it really has put me off and I will not go again. I understand they are moving maybe they will develop a better attitude elsewhere. It is unfortunate as whoever is buying for the store has a wonderful eye. But this combined with the no return policy which is insane for a children's store unless you are the parent with the child present there is absolutely no reason to buy with a policy like that it is definitely something they should reconsider.

I have been shopping at this store for two years now in Toronto and have found the selection,…read moredisplays, staff, and customer service to be excellent. Unlike the other reviewer, I purchased a decor item that did not hold its quality and was offered a credit, as they keep my purchases on record under my client file. I have also worked them as a buyer/designer for clients without any issue. I would say that their store is the finest in Toronto for beautiful baby and children things. I was so happy to find the French brands I purchased, while living in New York, and they also offer unique, well-chosen local things. I buy almost exclusively from them for my children and for gifts. They are at a higher price point than most in Toronto, but certainly justify that in their quality offerings and store experience.

The lady who helped us (who I can only assume was the owner) was the sweetest and kindest sales person I've ever met. She made great suggestions, was so friendly and really was so patient with my super cranky daughter that would not stop crying. She tried to cheer her up and even gave her a lollipop. She put together a whole outfit which was all reasonably priced. You honestly can't pay for that kind of customer service these days so it was refreshing to see. I will definitely keep Kostatex in mind for future events. This place and its staff are just simply amazing!

Well today I went to Kostatex Children's Wear store on the Danforth…read more What a find it is. I looked everywhere to find a christening gown for my great nephew and it was pretty hard. So much is only available on the web. Well if you are looking for: - baptismal outfits - christening gowns (including the traditional long ones), and outfits for boys - formal wear for young girls or boys (for flower girl or confirmation or other such events) Well..... LOOK NO FURTHER!! This place is great! So much selection, and the staff and owner couldn't have been more helpful! My niece lives out of Toronto, so they let me take pictures and send to her, and then we discussed it on the phone and we made the choice over which one we wanted. This is a small family run business but they have been on the Danforth for a long time. That speaks for itself.... and frankly based on the service I had today, they'll be there for much longer! So if this is the type of clothing that you are looking for - head on over -- you won't be disappointed!! Outfits were available in every price range - so no matter what your needs and budget, you'll find something here! (BTW - some other lady was in there -- and like me, noticed their new sign and went in and found exactly what she was looking for). These folks are few and far between -- so to have a shop where you could see the goods, match shoes and socks etc to it --- wonderful!
