Magwood, the upscale vintage boutique on Queen West, will be closing its doors for good at the end of the month. The shop, which recently got a shout-out in Vogue’s online guide to Toronto, has been a west-end institution for almost five years. (It started out at Dundas and Dufferin before moving to its current location next to Trinity Bellwoods.) As of December 24, passers-by will no longer be able to stop in and marvel at owner Sarah Magwood’s impeccable selection of demure 1950s frocks and intricate jewelled broaches; however, it’s not all sad news: fans of the store will soon be able to book one-on-one style consultations at a brand-new Magwood studio space, and they’ll also be able to browse an even larger selection of vintage pieces on the shop’s website. Sarah Magwood, who’s also a designer (known for her made-to-order wedding ensembles), will also be branching out into a few new areas, including custom home decor and handcrafted wedding invitations.
