A nook in the heart of Parkdale, just minutes away from our WORN office, Philistine plays host to an abundance of vintage and vintage inspired treasures; many a floral dress or woven shoe have seduced this Wornette on the short (yet dangerous for my credit card) walk from the office to my apartment. Leather boots and oxfords line the walls, while maps are plastered to the ceiling and antique birdcages (one of which makes an appearance in Issue 13) rest on hardwood floors. And if that wasn’t enough to draw you in, it now carries WORN! Stop by and pick up a copy, try on some fluorescent cut-offs and enjoy the rugged charm of Philistine.

Those colour coded cutoffs are fantastic! What a great shot.
WOW I want to go there. Are these denim cut-offs hand-dyed?
One day… I will come and visit Toronto’s awesome vintage stores
These photos are so pretty, Sam! xx
And rainbow denim! I know how it is – I used to walk by a tempting little shop every day.
What a pretty store! I kinda want to buy one of those handsaws on the wall for decoration.
I LOVE this store… probably my favorite place to get jewelry and vintage shoes. The staff is super lovely too!
