REmix

Just bought a bag. Had it authenticated because it came with nothing. Turns out it’s a fake and the owner refuses to work with me. Telling me I am trying to scam him and return a fake. UNBELIEVABLE.

All. Fakes. Anyone falling for this scam needs to report to the police. I went in there to browse and the brandnames are so obviously counterfeit but priced as authentics.

Be very careful, there are quite a few obvious fakes occupying their shelves. It’s unscrupulous that they mix real items with fake items. This is NOT the place for authentic designer goods; however, if you want to spend a lot of money on fakes, while having staff give you a hard time, this is the place to go.

He scammed me… I should have known, but I was oh so naïve. He sold me a fake Kenzo bag and I just found out when I went to consign it. 400.00 down the drain. :(I hope he goes out of business! How long can he continue doing this to people?

As I sit here writing this I just can’t believe I was such a sucker. This place is a complete scam. They claim that they authenticate everything but almost everything is a fake. Flat out fakes. The owner Salem Moussallam knows he’s selling fakes, I suspect he’s even importing them himself. Take your hard earned money elsewhere. Don’t risk being taken by this fraud.

Word on the street is that their products are Fake… Don’t waste your money!!!

They have really cool and original stuff. They are ahead of style, which i like, they have a good eye for product. They have mixed product there and generally helpful staff. I have purchased a few things from there and will probably come back.
The only thing they could work on, I would say is there seems to be a lot of excess «drama’ in the store’, i can hear employees frustrated with each other, talking about store related problems and differences so i don’t consider it professional environment, somewhat disheartening to more mature customers that go in to relax browse, look around and enjoy their experience of walking the streets leisurely…

The absolute WORST shopping experience I have ever had! I enter the building and go to the store on the second floor, I am greeted by the owner and was asked if I was looking for anything in particular, I thought to myself, «Maybe this wont be that bad!» and then it all went down hill from there. I was taking a look around and all of a sudden I just heard yelling coming from the front of the store, as it turns out, it was the owner yelling at the manager about a skirt he can’t find, or doesn’t exist because he quote on quote, «known every item in his store», after some more yelling at each other (the were multiple people in the store, most left because of the awkward situation) the owner found the item he said didn’t exist, and proceeded to yell even more at the manager as to why she didn’t know where that the skirt was there! I couldn’t believe that they were doing this in front of all the customers! completely un-​proffesional! To kind of break things up a bit, i asked about a beautiful vintage Louis Vuitton beauty case, the owner said in a snooty tone that it wasn’t for sale and was only for show. I’m sorry, but, why would you have it on the floor if you were not planning on selling it? In the front of the store there were two more Louis Vuitton beauty cases, these ones were for sale but were OBVIOUS FAKES, that scared me more then anything that he was risking his own reputation by displaying AND WILLING TO SELL a FAKE! I suggest that everybody avoids this place like the plague! Hands down the WORST vintage store in all of Toronto.

They sell fake items! Do not GO!

They sell fake designer items as the real deal! Do not walk even into this shxt hole!

I won’t be back. I went in a few weeks ago to browse — was immediately turned off by the following:
The staff was so rude and unprofessional to a consignor (to her face). The guy literally went over to his coworker (in front of the customer) and said, «can you deal with her? I don’t want to». The consignor was simply asking questions about the consigning process (nicely, I may add).
When she left they were mocking her voice. I wasn’t the only customer there… there was a few of us and it was obvious that we can all hear them
Not acceptable.

Horrid service. The women who work here were all in a sour mood when I went, I wish I could say that it was pertaining to a particular state of affairs, but it seemed to be the general climate of the place. When inquiring about the price, I was met with ignorance and at times rudeness. The clothing is okay, but why risk ruining your day to browse through a bunch of stuff you can easily find elsewhere? Please stop giving Toronto & Queen West a bad rep. You are not adding anything to this wonderful street, neighbourhood, and city.

Ter-​ri-​ble! I’m not sure if he was the owner, but I was referred to a younger male when I asked one of the sales associates, re: Hervé Leger dress that I wanted to sell. He was very abrupt, unpleasant, apathetic, and acted as though I was wasting his time.
Reality check: It would be a mutually beneficial transaction, so why not be nicer to a potential customer!!!
Due to his attitude, I decided to take my business elsewhere. Don’t think I’d return here even to browse!

Location: On Queen St West. A little bit of a walk from Queen Station which is doable on a nice day. Clothing is located on the second floor. First floor is spacious but the second is slightly crowded with weird flow. All the «less pricey/​non-​designer» items are near the back.
Quality and Price: They have a decent selection of items and from what I saw, in okay to good condition. They also carry many imitation brands (noticeably non-​Louboutin shoes with red soles, and many Herve Leger-​esque dresses) so be very careful about what you are looking at. Prices were also a little high for consigned goods. An Alexander McQueen clutch I saw selling for $ 350 on Beyond the Rack they had for sale for $ 1200. Unless they’re willing to negotiate, I am doubtful that the price accurately reflects the quality of the goods.
Service: Mediocre. I asked the girl if she had any Hermes twillies and she responded with «Twilly? What’s that? I’ve never heard of that. No, we don’t have any.» … Really? You work with designer goods on a daily basis, you don’t know what an Hermes twilly is? Then didn’t even bother to check with someone else? Regardless, she was not particularly helpful when I wanted to see items in cabinets or when I asked questions. Someone needs training. Though REmix has a better selection than Fashionably Yours, I was very put off by the snooty attitude of the girl that worked on the second floor today.
Overall: Again, similar to Fashionably Yours. Will not rule the store out completely on a sub-​par experience but I think my review is pretty consistent with what other’s are saying as well. Despite being a frequent luxury goods shopper, I was very turned off by the lack of service at this location.
EDIT: I returned to Remix recently to browse and see if they got any new stock in. There was a young gentlemen upstairs this time and from what I had read, his name is Salem (owner) and he has a reputation for being snooty. I don’t like to judge anyone until I actually meet them but I went in not expecting much. And true to what others have said, this man lives up to his reputation. He grudgingly answered questions, tried amateur sales tactics to pressure me, and when I didn’t bite, pretty much «dumped» us on the girl that also worked there with him.
I wasn’t very pleased with my experience. With the mediocre merchandise and slightly too high prices, coupled with the staff’s arrogance, I think I’d rather take my business and money elsewhere.

I had a horrible experience at this consignment store. The sales women are rude, aloof and talk about inappropriate subjects to customers. The clothes are overpriced. The manager is very disorganised. I would seriously consider the consignment stores on Mount Pleasant instead, they have been around for a longer time and know what they are doing.
This is an ‘amateur consignment store’.

This is THE WORST CONSIGNMENT STORE. NEVER!!! COMING HERE AGAIN!
The owner of this store is named Salem and is probably one of the biggest con artist in Toronto! Read more about it here

Being someone who’s very into & knowledgable about fashions I was very disappointed with everything about this store… Service, Product & Staff… are all HORRIBLE. The store is very unorganized smelly and looks like a thrift shop filed with «REAL» designer products! Not much selection. Shoes are very smelly and look gross ! YUCK!
The store is pretty active on
Instagram under the username @remixclothing ! There’s always a fight going on and rude comments being made! Just go’s to show you how unprofessional & despicable humanity is now a days
AVOID GETTING SCAMED PEOPEL! Make sure you Buy authentic! Kids in third world countries are getting tortured and killed for the production of fakes! Be smart about your purchases!
Think before you swipe or insert your Credit Card! GOOD LUCK

I’m not coming back.
I was about to step up on the stairs and go upstairs, when I hear this guy screaming and cursing out what I believe was his consignor, telling his colleague that she’s a «dumb ass bitch».
Then (being nosy) I stay and listen for a bit longer, and realize that there are CUSTOMERS up there, listening to his screaming, tirade against his consignor. He was borderline rude to her even if she was in the wrong, and he was DEFINITELY an idiot for doing it in the middle of the store instead of hiding out in some janitor’s closet and doing it in private.
Want to bitch out someone? Don’t do it when there are customers around who can hear you, and don’t pace around the store screaming at them on the phone. Go do your own dirty business somewhere private.
You’ve disgusted a formerly happy client, who will now basically tell everyone what a foul-​mouthed, horrible-​to-​shop-​at place your consignment store is.
At least at Coco’s Closet or Haute Classics, you don’t hear any kind of BS drama like that, because they actually want to keep customers, instead of scaring them off at the steps.

For anyone who can’t make it to their store in Toronto the online site is great. The have a vast selection of new, vintage and hard to find products. They also mention id the product has been sold, which can also be helpful. The pictures are so clear and professional because they actually have a professional both set up to take them in! As for the actual shipping it is not free unless you spend over $ 500, which surprisingly easy to do. Over all I had a good experience with their online shop, but will take the trip to visit their actual store on Queen St. W.

This is what a consignment store should be like. I randomly wandered in early this summer when the store was only half open with half its current inventory. It is definitely worth a visit every time I’m in the area as I never know what I would find.
Remix has an eclectic, well thought out collection of designer and otherwise labels at affordable discounted prices (we all know what it’s like to look at some advertised ‘discounted’ designer places and still have our wallets hurting after, or hearts broken); clean, decidedly lightly used or new clothing; a bright, airy and spacious second floor location without that musky ‘used clothing store’ odour; fun, funky, elegant, non-​scruffy finds in all price ranges; and the requisite fashion industry types working the store providing some unwanted, ‘Darling, that looks fantastic on you. I love the structured shoulders on that piece!’ sales advice.
I love that some of the pieces here can be rented if one can’t afford to own it outright. It is something to consider if you have a red carpet event to crash. There was a fantastic black ballgown there earlier in the summer going for $ 1000 that disappeared on my second visit. It was back on my most recent visit at the same price. It makes me happy just to see it.
This store is very convenient to get to by TTC, right by Queen St W and Bathurst St. The only way to access its second floor location is by a flight of stairs. If there is an elevator, I didn’t see it.

Excellent, well-​curated selection of pieces (both vintage and contemporary), many of which are extremely difficult to find. For example, REmix had the Christian Siriano runway Spring 2011 shoes for sale, which did not go into production (as of Jan 2011). They had an entire rack of Lanvin for H&M (I guess if anyone’s still interested in that…) and a pretty good shoe selection if your size is larger (8 and up). They also had some fantastic and unique pieces that were undoubtedly from the runway, a gorgeous Escada jacket, a fantastic men’s puffer braided neck piece (it’s hard to explain… but really outstanding), mixed in with pieces from lower-​end brands such as BeBe that were surprisingly well-​designed. The owner is a stylist, which explains the hard-​to-​find pieces.

The downside is that the pricing really is too high in a world where eBay and competitive online consignment shops rule. But if you’d rather spend a little extra cash than lurk around trying your luck on eBay, REmix is a good choice for you. When I went, the store was 50% off and it was still more expensive than I was willing to pay for.
The saleswoman was extremely attentive to me, showing me a variety of shoes and pieces and making helpful suggestions. She also proactively gave me the store’s card for consigning purposes, which I’m likely to do the next time I’m in Toronto. She’s great!
