This is my favourite vintage shop in Ottawa! I always find something (too many things) because there is a great selection clothes and accessories. I really appreciate that there is always a selection of plus sized clothes. Alex the owner is also the kindest and hosts really fun craft nights at the shop.

Past Lives is hands down my favourite curated thrift in Ottawa! I visit maybe 2-3 times a month and there is always something new. So many unique pieces with gorgeous 90s-Y2K grunge vibes (I rarely walk away empty handed!) and even locally made trinkets and decor. The owner is so friendly and kind, and we always have a nice chat. I highly recommend Past Lives for a solo browse or a friend date on any given day.

Amazing spot with a variety of vintage options in style and sizes ! You can tell that care was put into the selection. Alex is so nice and gives solid feedback on how things are fitting, etc. This shop also has an option to get things altered by a seamstress through the store! It's a one stop shop! They also run a few events throughout the month with coffee! Would definitely recommend to add to your vintage shopping list !

When I lived in Ottawa I discovered this place in its first month of business. I’ve watched it grow over time and it is my all time favourite place to visit when I’m looking for inspiration in my closet or community. It’s nice and cozy so you can find what you really need without getting lost. Each week they also have new selections and fun pop up shops each season!
