Philistine was founded in 2007 as a once-per-month pop-up shop, but only settled into permanent Parkdale residency this September. The tiny space houses mostly vintage duds (peppered with choice new accessories) curated by co-owners Aaron Doucet and Colleen Ramage. Doucet shares intentions to amp up the content of new items in the shop, including plans for their own line. Samples of the in-development brand - camel and black houndstooth capes - hang above the women's wear. UPDATE FEB 2014: Philistine has moved to 928 Queen St. In men's vintage, workwear and Americana rule. While the shop's menswear collection feels unified, I don't detect a clear story in the women's racks. A narrow rear hallway is lined with an impressive (and massive) collection of immaculate vintage footwear.
Notable finds are light grey fold-down suede ankle boots ($40), a button-up short leopard jumper ($35) and new tortoise Clubmaster-style shades ($15). Photos by Dennis Marciniak. Public Butter An artistic Vintage Boutique in the heart of Parkdale!
