Lovely selection of dresses, very clean and decently fair prices. Slightly disappointed by their men's selection. There was an area at the back with a gentleman's sign, but half of that was still skirts and high heels. It's perfectly fine if a store doesn't cater to more masculine styles, but at least remove the sign?

such a wide selection of vintage at decent prices! wish there was more things among clothes like decor but that’s the worst thing i’m able to say about the shop. the owner is so personable and has such a good eye for a good piece. we asked the owner for like help with piratey style sort of tops and within 5 minutes she had collected a heapppp of gorgeous options. absolutely worth the trip

After being disappointed with thrift shops in Toronto and Montreal because of high pricing and bad quality of clothes - visiting Darling Vintage was beyond my expectations. Great collection, clean clothes ( not worn down ), everything is appropriately priced. Bought 2 skirts, a green bodycon dress and earrings - very happy with the experience. Well maintained shop, the person at front desk was welcoming and polite.

Best shopping experience I've probably ever had. Firstly, I was left alone to shop privately without being greeted, which is a huge POSITIVE, because as a socially anxious and slightly autistic person, being greeted and spoken to at a boutique immediately as I walk in makes me die inside and extremely uncomfortable. I was completely left alone and I LOVED it because it allowed me to feel like I wasn't being hovered over, didnt make me feel like I was being pressured, I was just free to take my time, enjoy myself, and go through all of the dresses. I had such a good time. It was very therapeutic and blissful to shop here from that aspect alone. I purchased two higher priced vintage dresses with ease. It was very nice to have the dresses at the front of the store and then go to the back in order to make the purchase in a hidden little nook. Just 10/10 design. I will happily return for all of my dress shopping needs. I even bought a vintage dress that I had seen a similar version of from houseofcb but I got a much better, higher quality version at darling vintage and for a third of the price of some fast fashion name brand. I hesitated going here for a while, glad I stopped in just by chance. The employee is also such a beautiful sweetheart. I'd return just to see her again tbh 😭💞 My only wish is that the owner would not charge t** for people who pay all in cash 💵

A wonderful vintage shop we found spontaneously today. Great pricing (loved the $5 bin!), beautiful clothing, and we got some jewelry too. The staff were so friendly— we will definitely be coming back here often!
