Durumi Apparel

I have nothing bad in particular to say about Durumi/​Chocolate Shoes because to be honest I love everything in here especially the footwear. I just wish they had my size for once, I wear a size ⁵⁄₆ women’s and it’s always out of stock. Oh well, I’ll keep checking back. ³⁄₅ for now.

This place is right in the heart of Queen West and has the cutest shoes, accessories and statement pieces at reasonable prices.

This is my go-​to spot for decently priced clothing that isn’t going to fall apart after you’ve worn it five times. Some of my favourite items come from Durumi (including my purse, many pieces of jewelry, my somewhat casual special occasion dress). I could go on, but my list would be pretty long.
Extra points for their «Since You’ve Been Caught» wall of shame where they show screen caps of shoplifters from their video surveillance. I look at it pretty much every time.
PS Their jewelry is SUPER cute. I’ve bought many a gifts here.

There is nothing wrong with this store, I don’t think. It’s just really, really not for me.
Do you like feeling intimidated while you shop? Not I.
Do you like feeling judged for your fashion choices while you shop? Not I.
Do you like being told «no,» to every question you ask? Not I.
I’m sure many women will love this shopping experience, where they value unique and trendy fashion choices for their teeny tiny bodies and heavily made up faces. I prefer to be comfortable, and don’t need to be told that they don’t carry what I’m looking for, because it’s «out of style», and «outside of their size range»

This shop is actually called Durumi & Chocolate shoes and features super cute clothes and delicate jewellery, pleather bags that are dead ringer designer inspired, and some funky (mostly?) vegan shoes. Overall the styling is Korean F.O.B. chic, but in a very good way.
Pricing is actually pretty reasonable and the jewellry selection at D&C is outstanding with a array of mini stud earrings in adorable novelty shapes like miniature jigsaw puzzle pieces and so darling that at $ 15 a pop you’ll want to buy ‘em all!
Servicewise, it feels like your typical Asian boutique where the sales staff out number the patrons. They weren’t rude by any means, on the contrary they are quite polite, it just felt kinda stalkerish, but I guess when you have so much cute and miniscule stuff jammed into your shop one would ensure there are watchful eyes to guard the merchandise. I ended up with a bracelet for $ 25 bucks which I love to death and it hasn’t turned my wrist green, so yeah Durumi, I think I like you :)

Great shop for affordable trendy somewhat-​hipster clothing and accessories. I like the accessories here much better than the clothes (not my style). The handbag i bought months ago has been complimented by dozens of women around the world (i took it with me to EU).
Definitely check it out when you’re on QSW

I wandered into Durumi & Chocolate Shoes one day after staring at the dress in their window for some time. While I only had 10 – 15 minutes to browse, I found myself never wanting to leave!
This store is full of unique pieces of clothing, shoes, handbags, and tons of accessories. The prices are reasonable (front window dress was $ 95), with shoes around $ 60-​$ 100 and accessories varying in price.
It really is the kind of store you can get lost in — even though it isn’t that big. There is just so much to see, touch, and try on — especially in the shoe section! So many cute pairs that I have to go back and buy.
My one downside of the store was that a lot of cute items had real fur on them — wish they would go faux!
I want to meet and be friends with the buyer for this store. Seriously worth a browse.
