In many ways, Bloor-Yorkville is like nowhere else in the city. Here you’ll find everything from flagship stores for the world’s most exclusive designers, to one-of-a-kind unique fashion boutiques all throughout our quaint streets and laneways. The mix of architecture makes exploring the neighbourhood an exciting experience, and our abundance of cafes and park spaces invite you to stay awhile.
With fashion and shopping as a key pillar of the neighbourhood, there’s no shortage of unique boutiques. Below you’ll discover some of our amazing, women’s fashion retailers. Some are international brands that have selected Bloor-Yorkville as their only Canadian location, while others are independently owned boutiques which are go-to mainstays in the community.
The newest boutique on the Bloor-Yorkville block, The Webster brings the vibrant energy of Miami straight to Scollard Street. Here you’ll find everything from runway-ready Mugler and Saint Laurent, to household objects you can’t possibly find elsewhere. Perhaps you’re in the market for a baguette wall lamp or a jewel-encrusted Versace water bottle, or maybe a fragrance equally as rare. Stop by The Webster and you’ll enter a fashion-forward parallel universe.
