The Comeback

It is a small and simple store — it’s not flashy, but the items for sale are awesome! The store is filled with a lot of great items in various colours, sizes and styles. The brands range from regular retailers such as Ricki’s and H&M to BGBC and Nine West; there is a good mix of non-​famous labels to designer labels. The prices seem fair; you will find a lot of awesome items, including designer item, at great prices. The staff are nice and the environment is very laid back, it feels like you are in someone’s very large and impressive closet. I have friends who have been buying and selling there and love The Comeback. The only downside is they don’t have a parking lot, let alone free parking, but the store itself is worth visiting!

This is a fantastic store with great staff. I’ve been going here for years both as a buyer and a seller.

Yet again I am dumbfounded at how long I’ve been living near something so great, yet had no idea it existed.
The Comeback is a fantastic consignment store. I made a resolution not to buy any brand new clothing this fall to save money and do my part to be more environmentally conscious. Because my fall wardrobe would be second hand, I was worried that would mean I wouldn’t have anything that was really nice for fall — but this placed proved me wrong.
I had an armful of things to try on in under 10 minutes of being in the store and made a total of 3 separate trips to their easily accessible self-​serve fitting rooms. They had a great selection of dresses, skirts, sweaters, outerwear and a very nice, very reasonably priced section of designer denim — like 40 $ for a like-​new pair of 7 for All Mankinds.
Every section ranges from very small sizes to sizes for the more ample woman, denim included. Store staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, inviting me to stop by regularly as many of their long time customers pop in DAILY to check out the new merchandise. I left feeling like I’d made a friend.
The pristine items that I took home were:
Saks Fifth Avenue cashmere/​silk short sleeved sweater — 20 $
Brand-​spanking new blue Ralph Lauren button down shirt: 25 $
Zara high waist black tulip skirt: 20 $
Gorgeous little black dress from Talbots: 40 $
If you don’t live in the west end, this place is definitely worth the trek!

Being of a selfless sort, I’ll give away my best-​kept sartorial secret whilst hoping that no one reading shares both my style and size.
The Comeback is the best women’s consignment store in the city, hands down — cross my heart; I’m a cast-​off connoisseur. They only sell brand name clothes less than two years old, so while there’s no vintage, it’s like having a personal shopper who plumbs the mall for the best items. It is a Winners-​killer. Perfect for a frugal soMEone who’s not into shopping but likes having quality stuff.
My finds over the years are too many to list, but some of my favourites include a $ 13 Harvey’s seatbelt bag, killer Diesel jeans for $ 11, a stylin’ $ 45 Mexx interview-​type suit that evidently did the trick.
Everything here is sorted by size instead of colour, which is precisely how all second-​hand stores ought to be. The stellar organization makes it way faster to find things, and the finds are so abundant here that I always creatively interpret the six-​item limit at the change rooms.
Older stock will get discounted up to 70% (I think), but tags are sometimes not marked down yet, so ask and check the date on the tag to see if it might get further reduced.
It’s exclusively women’s wear and accessories, but no shoes. While clean and orderly, the store probably hasn’t seen a reno since Michael Jackson was black, but who cares? Not I.
This place deserves a bajillion stars and is absolutely worth the trip out to Etobicoke.
