L’elegante

This is a great women’s resale shop in the tony neighborhood of Yorkville. The merchandise represents the populace of the neighborhood, and the finest labels are represented: Escada, Gucci, Armani, Chanel etc. While the prices are not cheap, they pale in comparison to retail. The sale’s staff are helpful, but quite aggressive. Not everything always looks good on everybody. This is the kind of store to return to frequently to see what’s come in lately.

I like this store mostly because of its convenient location by the Bay TTC.
I like it because it has designer stuff at quite reasonable prices ($ 30 — $ 80), and the super high end stuff like Oscar de la Renta wrap dresses, were going for $ 300.
Although I like this store and found one cute top, it did not have the updated, trendy, fresh selection of Haute Classics (LOVE!).
I think the demographic here is women aged 40 — 60, and being in my late 20s and a petite/​slim build, I felt a bit out of place shopping here because I found the styles to be older, kind of like Queen Elizabeth’s current style with the matching pastel suits.
Not a single DvF wrap dress in sight.
The sizes were at least a 6 if not larger so it was hard for me to find anything in my size range.
Even the shoes were larger and some looked way too old (in style I mean) to be sold. No Manolos or Choos to be found here. It was all kind of clunky, chunky stuff.
I did like that the prices were VERY reasonable. Some of the bags were cute, but nothing I would have really thought about purchasing.
I’d probably try Haute Classics before coming here, if you can only choose one store to visit.
