Voices of
The Market.
"Toronto's vintage centerpiece. A sanctuary for anyone who values authenticity over trends. Every visit is a treasure hunt."
"The $5 rack outside is a literal Kensington institution. I've found genuine cashmere gems there for the price of a coffee."
"Best cashmere collection in the city. The staff actually knows the history of every bead and button."
"The coloured glass collection is museum-grade. I've been coming here for 15 years and it never loses its magic."
"Found a 1950s workwear jacket in perfect condition. This place is the ground truth for vintage in Toronto."
"Deeply curated and respectful of the history of the objects. It's more than a shop, it's a culture."
"The bead room is a sanctuary. Most unique jewelry supplies in Canada."
"There are vintage shops, and then there is Courage My Love. No other place in the city has this kind of soul. The curation is impeccable."
"I found a perfectly preserved 1940s tea dress here. This place is essentially a museum where you can buy the exhibits."
