REmix is a vintage clothing store that occupies the second floor of a retail building on Queen Street West. The wrought iron staircase that leads to an overwhelmingly packed flat, where scarves and shoes surround customers like overgrown ivy, is only the beginning of a unique shopping experience.

REmix boasts an impressive collection of exquisitely crafted vintage pieces, making it difficult to focus your attention on any individual piece for long. The store’s merchandise includes strappy Celine sandals, classic Alexander Wang bags, and even a studded, cheetah print UNIF motorcycle jacket. It’s an eclectic collection, but one that seems completely cohesive at the same time.

Although the designer pieces at REmix can be steeply priced, everything from the jeweled necklaces to the leather jackets have been individually selected by a discerning buyer. And for the fashion-savvy shopper, these items are quality pieces that are definitely worth splurging on.
