i use to be a huge vintage clothing fan. my passion for vintage clothing has simmered down a bit after years of bad quality vintage clothing at ridiculous prices. Stella Luna is still one of my most treasured vintage haunts in Toronto. when I first moved to parkdale in 2004 this was my first fine vintage store that i had the pleasure of discovering. Not only are the clothes in excellent condition, they are truly beautiful- not like some of the rags you get at kensington market that reek of mold and fall apart.
The owner is an absolute sweetheart. She is very helpful and even goes as far to show you hidden gems that are in the basement if you are looking for something specific. I have found a whole lot of beautiful items in this store for fair prices from vintage silk dresses to antique jewelry and well maintained purses.
The highlight of this store for me was their yearly outdoor sales. I don't know if they still do this but they would have 50% off sales during the summer that I would take time off work to go to! One of my favorite jackets (a royal blue velvet jacket with rhinestone buttons) came from this sale for only $10! It's still in great shape after 6 years of wear.
The store is well organized, all racks are by colour and shoes are up front in the window for easy access (not scattered all over the place like some vintage stores). The store has odd hours from what I've noticed so it's best to call ahead to find out when they are open. Overall this little shoppe is a gem in parkdale, I hope it's there for a long, long time!
