| - Excellent, well-curated selection of pieces (both vintage and contemporary), many of which are extremely difficult to find. For example, REmix had the Christian Siriano runway Spring 2011 shoes for sale, which did not go into production (as of Jan 2011). They had an entire rack of Lanvin for H&M (I guess if anyone's still interested in that...) and a pretty good shoe selection if your size is larger (8 and up). They also had some fantastic and unique pieces that were undoubtedly from the runway, a gorgeous Escada jacket, a fantastic men's puffer braided neck piece (it's hard to explain... but really outstanding), mixed in with pieces from lower-end brands such as BeBe that were surprisingly well-designed. The owner is a stylist, which explains the hard-to-find pieces.

The downside is that the pricing really is too high in a world where eBay and competitive online consignment shops rule. But if you'd rather spend a little extra cash than lurk around trying your luck on eBay, REmix is a good choice for you. When I went, the store was 50% off and it was still more expensive than I was willing to pay for.
The saleswoman was extremely attentive to me, showing me a variety of shoes and pieces and making helpful suggestions. She also proactively gave me the store's card for consigning purposes, which I'm likely to do the next time I'm in Toronto. She's great!
