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 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.

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.

As you walk down the black and white staircase, music is pumping and there's an energy that seems to be sneaking out. Almost would feel like you've stumbled upon some hidden gem if it weren't for the fact the store is filled with people, who clearly make Black Market a go-to stop for shopping. After a brief pass through the store, my sense was that the selection is more or less what you would expect to find at a hip vintage store in a big city. There's a mix of old (once uncool, now cool), graphic tees, and some more out there costume/punk/fetish type selections. What I really appreciated was the juxtaposition of this store along side a space for a record shop and a barber shop in the back. Black Market is definitely the anchor, but having a couple other shops inside and sharing boundaries made the space that much better and interesting. So if you need some new (old) threads, records, or maybe a cut or shave, check out Black Market.

I saw so many cute dresses that would just look fabulous in my closet! I will definitely return in a few weeks to see what they have. Hopefully they have some new stock that I can peruse.

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.

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.
