Want to finally show that ex who keeps hanging around to the door?

Well now thanks to one of Toronto’s newest additions, you can do it without the hassle of hauling your ex’s ass out there yourself. No, this is not a relationship advice column. Nor is it and ad for GROPETO’s own line of personal ads. MYEXCLOSET is Canada’s newest connoisseur of vintage, indie, and mid to high end designer fashion labels. Who says you can’t have your best friend’s leftovers? With MYEXCLOSET you surely won’t be getting sloppy seconds.

Not your average consignment boutique, MYEXCLOSET is a Canada-wide online venture started by the likes of Cassie Cowie & co. Offering in-house pickup when you want to sell your gently loved ex’s and mail to your door when you think you’ve found a new love, MYEXCLOSET puts a twist on your Grandma’s favourite consignment shop. Catering to the university, hipster and yuppie crowd alike, MYEXCLOSET also hosts shopping parties every couple of months held in warehouse-style locations in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. With labels ranging from vintage Louis Vuitton to Urban Outfitters and American Apparel, every fashionista will be doomed to have their shopping cart (or their arms) full with some chick’s leftovers.

MYEXCLOSET provides a practical solution to those of you who want to raid their closet of all that gorgeous stuff you bought because you just couldn’t resist (even though you knew you probably would never wear it), and gently loved designer (like that vintage LV bag your Aunt Flo handed down that you couldn’t really ever find an occasion to use) but just can’t find the time to sell it all yourself yet can’t find it in yourself to just give away. The only pet peeve I have with MYEXCLOSET is shipping costs. Which technically isn’t their fault, since we all know Canada Post just sucks, period. Local pick up for buyers might be a good solution, since it’s already being done for sellers, but until then the brick & mortar sales and Clothing Show appearances do the trick if you’re the type that just loathes buying online.

The ecoholic and recessionista in me are giddy just thinking about raiding their inventory at the next Clothing Show at Exhibition Place this spring. When I first fell in love with MYEXCLOSET last fall at The Clothing Show, I essentially bolted over to their booth once I spotted their array of mukluks, Frye boots, 7 for All Mankind jeans, Marc Jacobs bags and tons and tons of more ex’s from Aritzia, Urban Outfitters and Holt’s. Looks were definitely NOT deceiving, as I winded up leaving with a nice hefty bag full of goodies, only to give in to temptation and end up going back for more before leaving. The experience was far from your usual vintage shopping trip at Kensington or Value Village’s 50% off days, with impeccable organization to make your shopping experience all the easier and mint condition items (some even with tags, like the American Apparel high-waisted nylon tricot tights I picked up for $10, marked down from $46, what a steal!).
