A guy-centric vintage store opens at Dundas and Ossington

Of the many vintage shops along Dundas West, Black Flower Vintage is the first to focus almost entirely on menswear. The stock includes basics like fall sweaters, blazers and designer dress shirts ($35–$140), but it’s more fun to hunt for offbeat pieces sourced by owner Sacha Laberge, a Montreal transplant known to pair a dashiki with formal trousers or a vintage basketball jersey with ornate jewellery. Spotted recently: a Vivienne Westwood polka-dot dress shirt ($140), an intricate Nepalese wrist cuff ($160) and a ring bearing Chewbacca’s face ($40). Laberge also carries new items like Montreal brand Cease and Desist’s Lego rings ($20-25), hand-made leather shoes by England’s Grenson ($180) and leather espadrilles from Spain ($60). The small ladies’ section is full of prints and ‘80s vintage, though women in search of boyfriend-fit pants and slouchy tops might want to browse the guys’ racks, too.
