Philistine, located at 1394 Queen St W., is a tiny store, especially when compared to its more spacious neighbours. But it would be wrong to think that this small boutique has little to offer because at Philistine, quality trumps quantity. At first glance, it is clear that there was a lot of time and effort put into maintaining a smart balance between vintage and modern. This fall, Philistine is taking customers back to the basics with men’s flannel shirts and L.L. Bean chore coats for both sexes. Their Minkpink party dresses guarantee you will be more than ready for the upcoming holiday season. Corter Leather, a minimalist response to leather accessories, is the latest addition to their roster of brands. With such variety, there is bound to be something that’s fitting for both your taste and budget. Since discovering Philistine, I tend to visit the store at least once a week and I bet it won’t be long before you start doing the same.
