OK, you literally need a few days to take in Gadabout. The space is super small and its crammed…read morefull of vintage, antique, retro....everything. I'm almost positive many of the film and TV production folks who do shoots taking place in the 1940s and 50s are probably raiding Gadabout regularly. They'd be stupid not to since you can probably find a look for every era since the 1880s here. Antique hand-made quilt blankets, vintage and antique lace bed sheets, pure woolen capes a la Sherlock Holmes made in London, alpaca sweaters, 100% pure lambswool blankets (nobody makes that stuff anymore) 1960s patent leather shoes, old library card catalogues now filled with one-of-a-kind notions like buttons and hooks for your sewing needs, old stationary writing sets, I mean I could just go on and on about the myriad of things I saw just on a quick visit. I didn't buy anything but the prices did seem a bit high but that's how it goes in Toronto these days I guess. If you're looking to replace some buttons on an old sweater or old jacket and want something unique to jazz it up and give it a fresh new look, come here and have a snoop, I'm sure you'll find something.

Having been in a lot of antique shops, this spot desperately needs an 'organiser', someone to help arrange the aisles, make sense of the stock. A lot of it gets lost, missed due to the clutter. A few people inside makes it difficult to navigate the very tight thin aisles. Looking forward to returning.

This is a wicked little store in the basement of 69 Vintage, a collective of tiny vintage shops in…read moreBloordale. The owners have seemingly 'ransacked the universe' to put together a sweet collection of new, old and reworked items. It's one of my favourite places to gift shop and occasionally pick up things for myself. My boyfriend hasn't taken off his up-cycled plaid handkerchief scarf since I gifted it to him for x-mas. Most of the things sold at Ransack are made by local artisans but there's quite a few solid vintage finds(old posters, records and some furnishings) as well. Very happily there are no old fur coats or stuffed dead animals at all to ruin my vintage shopping experience or create that narsty smell you find at some vintage stores (I'm looking at you Kensington market). This store is strictly awesome. You really need to discover this place for yourself though. There are so many things to regardez-vous I find myself circling the shop several times taking it all in before I can decide what I can't leave without.

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. If you love true vintage and enjoy hunting for unique finds, this is definitely a shop to add to your list. I'll absolutely be back.

Super nice staff and I am so glad they have reopened. You know I love all things retro and this store has fantastic items for sale. Tons of character!

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 selection leans heavily toward newer clothing and graphic T-shirts rather than classic vintage pieces.

If one walks very carefully, one foot in front of the other, there's enough room to walk maybe ten feet into the store before you hit a wall of chandeliers. Almost every inch of visible space is crammed full. There are chandeliers hanging overhead, so packed in that it's hard in many cases to tell where one ends and another begins. There are pieces of chain, electrical cord, crystal, and light fixtures covering the counters and floor. But I suppose that means there's a lot to choose from. Some of the more ornate pieces were $3200, some more simple chandeliers listed as $350. I have no idea if these prices are reasonable or not as I have never done any chandelier comparison shopping. The owner was very helpful, if a bit overbearing (though since he was crammed into the same teeny space as us, it'd be hard to be anything but in our face). He told us he could have any one of a number of chandeliers ready for us innediately. We're not buying, just yet, but this seems like as good a place as any to start looking when we are.

this is a perfect example of an antique store in which you might feel claustrophobic if that is…read moreyour tendency. there is no order here that is comfortable to eye, to the shopper. i dont remember being all that fascinated by the furniture itself; they didnt seem all that antique to me overall or perhaps they just seemed drab. the thing about this store is that there seemed to be some real gems for sale. for example there was some gargantuan wooden asian sculpture of a boat with passengers, etc. it was an AMAZING piece....like it belonged to an emperor at some point. there were chairs that were close by that were themselves quite large, but what was most exciting about them was their cracked paint, faint white, and again, seemingly palatial quality. when you walked in you felt like you might have stepped into some kind of haunted house perhaps. the ceiling was covered with chandeliers that all seemed to be tuned to a delicate and creepy enough level that gave this room something of an edward gorey feel. i saw one that was wrought of iron - one of those ones you might imagine crashing down on your head to deal the final blow on your vampiric self.
