Everything you see in here has so much character and for a tiny shop it has a plethora of different, unique items you'd have trouble finding anywhere else. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is a big fan of vintage and/or antique home decor.

When they say "First we find the treasure, then we bury it again for you," they aren't kidding; the store is packed to the rafters with amazing finds.

That being said - so many dishes and dinner wear and cups... kinda boring Secondly the price of somethings is not as appropriate as others. $100 for a scratchy pillow but a fendi makeup bag for $40... so it's highs and lows but the price does drop as time goes on so it's all alright in the end. I'll be back to this place for a second time soon and I hope there is good turnover!

The Handwork Department store is a vintage and consignment shop with A LOT of amazing items. There…read moreis a downstairs section with household items that are very aesthetically pleasing to look at and purchase. My friend and I spend a good hour downstairs just playing different records and dancing around LOL. I came here because it was noted that they have a lot of cameras and I was surprised to see them all myself. Initially, I was a little nervous about buying a film camera because I am not very familiar with them but the representative that was there (Maggie) provided me with a lot of insights and useful information on each brand. She was very patient and helpful and made me feel at ease so I left the store confident. Also, the shop is located on Danforth so after my visit, I just went on an adventure and ate a lot of food. I truly loved everything at this store and it was an honour conversing with Maggie. I fully dedicate myself and wallet to this shop and I can't wait to come back!

They have an amazing selection of authentic '70s pieces, and unlike many vintage stores, the prices are actually very fair. Everything felt carefully chosen rather than just packed with random items.

The selection leans heavily toward newer clothing and graphic T-shirts rather than classic vintage pieces. If you're specifically hunting for authentic vintage, you may want to set your expectations accordingly. If you're into contemporary streetwear and casual finds, though, it's still worth a visit.

I was walking around Kensington neighbourhood and saw this store. I walked in and was immediately…read moreimpressed by the variety of clothing and the abundance of each. I expected that they would only have a limited selection of each. The store is well organized and clean, though it could feel cramped in places. The service was good. There were many customers, but I avoided people in my pictures. After browsing around, I was told there is another floor! Impressive. Even more categories of clothing. There is no free WiFi. The store is not wheelchair accessible. There are no customer washrooms. There is paid and free neighbourhood street parking. Review 2023-227

The sign says "hand-picked vintage" and it's a good description. The space is quite small (looks like a converted apartment, with 2 small rooms and a hallway) and the selection is not as vast as some of the bigger vintage shops. However, each piece is carefully chosen (hence the name). The owner is really friendly and as my shopping partner and I perused the racks, she gave us back-stories for many of the pieces that caught our eyes. She also has altered some of the items to make them more wearable circa now. Compared to other vintage stores, there were some really kooky/costumey pieces here, include a gold lamé jumpsuit ("I had to take that one... it has stirrups!!") and a gothic, Addams-Family-esque black velvet dress with white lace detailing. This would be a fantastic place to find the perfect Halloween costume. It's also a great place to re-live the 90's. As I was browsing, I found myself repeatedly saying to my friend - "omg, remember these?!?" Like those cutout shoulder dresses. Other finds include leopard printed faux-fur coats and beat-up vintage leather jackets for men. There's a sale rack (currently 50% off some winter merchandise) and a $10 accessories section at the back. Definitely worth a look!

Even the change room curtain looks like outer space. It's a small and cozy shop that's never too busy. I almost didn't want to write this review because it's one of the city's best kept vintage secrets. The clothes: Whereas a lot of vintage shops in the city have a huge variety of clothing from all kinds of different eras, Chosen features a well-curated selection of clothes that appeal to anyone with a lust for the 90s (ie. me) and girls who want to be a bit more badass and a bit less girly. But this doesn't mean they don't have girly t't to Chosen and you can find sexy little lace slips, James Dean-esque leather jackets, and combat boots for dancing all night. The staff: No complaints here. The owner and the one other girl I've met are both super friendly, helpful and full of interesting tidbits about the pieces. Best finds: I bought the most comfortable/warm/amazing winter boots here that I will keep forever and always.

I would definitely come back.
