Love this store

Eddie Knowlton

Amazing owner, excellent staff and always a great selection of goodies!

David Flack

I was looking for something suitable to wear when my band performs songs from our EP, "Cranberries In Song". Look what I found right away at this really cool vintage clothing store....and it was only $ 28. A great place with a good vibe, friendly customer service and lots of choice.

Great for vintage clothing, jewelry, and patches. It's cramped so if you aren't stick thin it's hard to get around. Also it's seems to be mostly the same stuff and some is artisan made so way overpriced for a vintage store. Still go here a lot though! They have all sorts of stuff that you can't find anywhere else.

Will Leone

A little pricey but some good finds

Jack Mckeever

A fantastic wonderful store with awesome staff

The Tatted Mountie

Friendly

Doug McClelland

Fantastic stuff here.

Geoff Rousseau

Great store with a ton of selection. Lisa is amazing, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful!!!

Natalie Watson

Awsome store... Excellent customer service.. My favourite store by far!

Danni Gresko

One of the coolest stores you will ever discover and what a fun place to shop! So many cool finds for vintage inspired looks, costumes, dress-up and unique styles for everyone. Some stuff is expensive - but it's priced fairly given most are one-of-a-kind items. Even a section of sequins! Buttons galore! The sunglasses selection to die for! The owner is a sweetheart and very helpful. Love this place.

I only visited once but I can tell you that all of my attire will consist of the things they sell. I got a very comfortable vibe from the place. It felt like I was at home. I'm a sucker for thrift shops. This isn't your typical value village or whatever, it's better. I have already recommended it to several of my friends.

Doug McWelland

A wonderful store, with a great curated collection of clothing and accessories. The staff are fantastic. The racks are packed. If they removed the things that can be found at thrift stores (at lower prices), it would easier to see the one-of-a-kind items that the store is famous for.

I have been going to this shop for about 30 years or so, and I really like the clothes, jewelry, purses, shoes, etc. I have always gotten a really good deal and a lot of clothes and bits are still with me! Tammy, the woman who owns it, is a fantastic lady and is very down to earth! It's always an adventure just walking in and browsing around! You never know what you will find!

Liv

Great place, great staff, too stuffy and close together, not enough space for the huge amount of clothes and such.

Owen C

Really awesome staff and a great selection of attire.

Kat Moon

Excellent vintage goodies

Merinda Sutun

I'm very disappointed with Out of the Past. They have a great selection, but a horrible return policy. I bought something brand new from their store, wore it once and the zipper broke. I was told very rudely, there was nothing they could do, and when I started to complain about their policy the person behind the counter threatened to call the police. They have horrible customer service. I won't be shopping there again. I have had a couple other bad experiences there, but this was the worst.

lesley finds

You can always find something cool here. Definitely a store to explore!

Venus Smith

Were selling nazi paraphernalia under the table, though apparently theyve stopped. Quite a few of the good reviews are by employees of the store.

Brayden Houle

Love this store

Kelly Kelly

I've been a customer for some time now. I bought a very expensive piece. It didn't fit...they refused to take it back...an exchange for something else isn't unreasonable. Customer no longer. I apologize that my hospitalization did not cooperate with your return policy and subsequent inconvenience to re-ticket 1 item. Unbelievable

James Roelofsen

Great staff, good sales

TWISTEDnBENT

Great place too relive the old days needs more locations

Sarah roadrunner

This place is a goldmine! The owner is a great lady and the stuff she has is really cool! The prices are reasonable and sometimes there is a wiggle for a haggle!!

Overpriced

Barbara White

Lots of nostalgic clothing

Mary-Rose

Out of the Past, is a great store. You can find some real gems in there, with great prices. Alot of vintage clothes. You can spend alot time in there, looking through everything to find that hidden gem. Only 4 stars because I didn't find the store clerk to friendly when I was chit chatting with her about the store and seemed a little bothered we were trying alot of clothes on half hour before closing. I remember going to this store fresh out of high school and 20 years later it smells and looks the same. Blast from the past, it was cool to share the experience with my daughter this time.

Mary's Bud

Not only did the clerk practically spent her whole shift with us, she brought us outfits, encouraged a new styles, and kept us smiling the whole way. The selection is phenomenal. They have everything from swimsuits and sunglasses to paraphernalia. Of course the clothes match the era! Good price at that too :). Thanks for making us feel at home!

Billy Walters

Rare vintage items.

Greg Hames

A great collection of fun and vintage clothing

Neal Klein

Definitely worth a look

Darylan Kotyk

Love coming here when I’m in the area! Can find some amazing things here and staff is usually very friendly and helpful. 100% my favourite stop when i’m in town!

Dee S

So vintage with a mix of past and present. Some items a bit pricey. Would definitely return.

stingy rich

Lots of cool unique pieces but pricey, store and clothes need better maintenance as there’s dirt and dust everywhere. Wasn’t very welcoming as clerk just stared at us the whole time from the counter. Just overall very awkward.

Cody Skelton-Parker (Miuo)

Great atmosphere and lots of interesting bits about. But very limited selection of clothing for anyone bigger than a large.

Sofie v O

A very good assortment of retro clothing. However the clothing seems to be overpriced for the quality that you're getting, and sometimes the staff gets pushy when they think you are too long in the store.

Stephanie Levenne

Great

Jessica Koerperich

They have a pretty nice selection of vintage clothes and styles and some literally beautiful dresses in great condition but the ones that were the nicest and I could find in my size (common size) were way overpriced so I left with only one shirt. ????I’ll be back in better weather to see what’s new though They were very nice and helpful!

Christopher Ross (rossgiftscom)

Pricey, and the store smelt a little like ... skunk herbs but they had great stuff.

Benjamin Shierlaw

Good price and wide selection of body jewelry lots of organic choices and variety

Jessica Denison

This by far is my favourite store!!! I've shopped at Out of the Past for 17 years now and they always have the coolest stuff around! Cool atmosphere, Great deals and amazing finds all the time. By far the best store around! Love it!!! :)

ian bradley

Bananka

Caleb Booker

If you want something quirky or one of a kind then this is the place you absolutely need to be!

Joanne Young

Dont go here if you think its a thrift/2nd hand store. Prices are $90 for a dress!

Denis Rochon

The memories, the selection.

Lauren Garbutt

Great vintage store with fair prices! Lisa is super helpful and now knows my style from so many visits so she is so good at finding more things for me to try on and purchase! Happy to be able to shop in store again.

Gillian Underhill

Always have the most unique finds and friendly staff too. Must stop in anytime Im downtown. The locals hidden gem ????

Adam Wolchuk

Great place, crazy array of clothes

Ngozi Lasta

very nice selection of vintage clothing but prices were a bit much for me

Jared Kerr

Not a friendly place to be if you have issues with strong scents in small spaces

chelsea Barton

Such a cute shop and the staff is always so helpful and friendly!

natalie bullock

Anything and everything from vintage jumpsuits to coveralls. Recently purchased a flapper fringe sequined dress from this store for a photoshoot and was beyond thrilled with the turn out.

alexa lemon

it’s honestly really overpriced even for vintage and even the new with tags items. would’ve left a better review if the vibes weren’t awkward in the store, and if the clerk was nicer. they should invest in some air conditioning as it is extremely hot in the store.

Carrie Harris

Great atmosphere, good quality items at good prices. Love it here!

Lizz Yakovich

super fun vintage clothing...great atmosphere....great deals...A++ ;)

XxKalamity KatxX

Great selection, somewhat expensive though

Ashley Collison

Pricey but has cool stuff

Michelle Borgatti

Out of the Past was magical. My sister and I walked in, downtrodden from our previous experiences at popular clothing stores that day. We were pleasantly surprised when we walked in to see a huge selection of retro, vintage, and whacky items. We were greeted right away by both shop workers and they aided us in our experience, making it so easy to navigate through the little store with loads of good finds. I was shopping for a baby shower dress and never expected to find it here but I was thrilled to find the Perfect One! It's a little rockabilly swing number that I can't wait to show off. I am so grateful to the ladies working today for letting us take our time and helping us to find exactly what we needed. Good vibes and much love were felt today at Out of the Past

Dan Well

Simply love this place

Lyllith LaPointe

Sandro Di Filippo

Great food!

Jaime Shea

Cool stuff

Hpanaich

Owner was lovely, had some good finds

David DiPietro

Really cool vintage at affordable prices. The staff are attentive and conversational without being overbearing. Encouraged to try on clothes and asked if I needed any help. One of my favourite places to stop into!

Kevin Burger

Found some records. Wife found some unique stuff. Check the place out.

Linda Fidler

Fun ...

Amber Hemphill

I just love this store Ive bought some really cool dresses from here and hats. The staff is great very helpful and very upbeat!

Grant Hudson

Great store lots of cool stuff! but was really dissapointed today. I called at 3:22pm to see when they will be closing, I was told four but that she would stay open for me until I got there. I took a bus all the way down town and arrived at 4:12 to a locked door and the lady working shaking her head no at me. I've never had a bad experience with out of the past and have been shopping here for a long time. Today just frustrated me having wasted my time.

Jessica Rabbit

DO NOT RECOMMEND! Clothes are cute but customer service is awful, I am afraid to go back into the store.

Steve Matthews

Very cool, friendly staff
