Here's a some places you may want to check out next time you are vintage hunting!

Toronto Vintage Shopping

Toronto has the largest concentration of Rag houses, giant warehouses with bales of abandonned clothing and by default the largest concentration of well stocked vintage shopping boutiques, it's a cess pool of vintage and you can bet if you hit it up for a vintage spree you will definately get your fix and be revelling in the after math of that high for a long time after....
