About Exile Vintage
50 Years of Timeless Style
Since 1976, Exile Vintage has been one of Toronto's most beloved destinations for authentic vintage clothing. What began as a passion for preserving the style and craftsmanship of past decades has grown into a half-century legacy — making us one of the longest-running vintage stores in Canada.
Over 50 years, we've dressed generations of Torontonians, costume enthusiasts, fashion-forward shoppers, and vintage lovers from around the world. Our commitment has never wavered: to source, curate, and offer the finest vintage pieces from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.
Our Home: Kensington Market
You'll find us at 60 Kensington Avenue, nestled in the heart of Toronto's iconic Kensington Market — one of the city's most culturally rich and historically significant neighbourhoods. Kensington Market has long been a hub for independent businesses, artists, and community, and Exile Vintage has been part of that fabric for decades.
Whether you're a local or visiting from out of town, our store is a destination worth the trip. Walk through our doors and step into a carefully curated world of one-of-a-kind pieces you won't find anywhere else.
What Makes Us Different
At Exile Vintage, every item on our floor has been hand-selected. We don't carry fast fashion or reproductions — only genuine vintage apparel that meets our standards for quality, authenticity, and character.
We specialize in:
- 1970s–1990s vintage clothing — from denim and leather to bold prints and band tees
- Costumes and themed outfits — perfect for Halloween, film productions, and themed events
- Party and statement pieces — because standing out never goes out of style
Our team brings decades of expertise to every purchase decision, so you can shop with confidence knowing each piece has been vetted by people who truly love vintage.
