There are a number of discount designer denim
Toronto stores but you are more likely familiar with the full priced
alternatives.
Premium denim brands have become as recognizable and as coveted as many
designer lables. But with prices that run from $200 to $300 per pair it
is hard to justify spending that kind of money on jeans; no matter how
much wear you will get out of them!
I have found a bunch of places that you can shop for designer denim at
a discount in Toronto.
Branded Boutique
Branded
Boutique just re-opened its Toronto location after a lenghty
hiatus. Branded is ALL about discount designer denim and has one of the
largest selections. Expect to see alot of JBrand, True Religion and
Rock & Republic's at discounted prices.
Holt Renfrew Last Call
Holt
Renfrew Last Call is where the super stylish Holt Renfrew
sends its
clothes that don't sell at their main retail locations across the
country. There is more than just discount designer denim, it has
discount designer everything from purses to shoes. Lables run from the
familiar like JBrand to cult favourites like Degaine.
Consignment shops
Toronto has a number of Designer Consignment shops. Stay away from
vintage if you are wanting current lables and washes. Selection will be
based on what the clientel brings in and some shops are pickier than
others. Going to a more selective boutique means you will more likely
to find resale denim with very little to no wear.
I found two pairs of rarely worn Paige Premium Denim for $60 at Coco's
Closet.
Other consignement shops to try are Extoggery, Haute Classics,
Fashionably Yours or online myexcloset.com. Find one that suits your
size and style.
Winners "The Runway"
Winners
is every Canadian's source for discounted merchandise. The Runway
section is where to find discount designer items. The jean selection is
slimmer than some of the other options but you are sure to find a deal.
Other Options for Discount Designer Denim Toronto
Of course you can always wait for an end of season sale but preium
denim is often excluded from sales, or isn't discounted as much as
other merchandise. I use a service called Shop
it To Me to monitor sales on my favourite denim brands.
I also watch online outlets like theoutnet.com, bluefly.com &
Nordstrom Rack, which all ship to Canada. I tend to stick with larger
retailers while shopping online for security reasons as well as you are
sure to be buying the real thing not a knock off!
