This new Queen West consignment shop sells barely-used Louis Vuitton, Hermés and Dior

Garb, a new consignment shop on Queen West, is more discriminating than most. (Case in point: its website lists over 100 labels that it absolutely refuses to carry.) Shoppers can stop by to browse the high-end designer stock, which includes silk Hermés scarves, cute Kate Spade backpacks and chic Erdem frocks. Most items are steeply discounted—by up to 75 per cent, depending on the condition (Garb has comprehensive rating system starting with A++, meaning the item is new with tags). We spotted some great deals, including a Vera Wang top for just $45, a Vince cocktail dress for $115 and never-worn Valentino kitten heels for $215. The menswear stock is surprisingly impressive, too: there are sharp dress shirts from brands like Paul Smith and Hugo Boss alongside sophisticated accessories like this printed Giorgio Armani tie. For those who’d prefer to purge their closets, consignors receive an impressive 50-per-cent commission on each item sold.
