I'm not an expert on shopping in Toronto, as I don't visit nearly enough. The boutique Coal Miner's Daughter makes me want to change that. The tiny shop was recommended to me by the lovely Nathalie-Roze (of Nathalie-Roze & Co boutique), and I'm so glad she introduced me!
Janine Cockburn and Krysten Caddy run Coal Miner's Daughter single-handedly, and do a damn good job doing it. Entering is like walking into your dream closet- skirts, dresses, rompers, handbags, jewelry, fascinators, etc- and everything is gorgeous. Designers include Mes Trois Soeurs (of course!), Sui Generis, Josiane Perron, and Janine's own label Clementine & Tweed, to name just a few. Janine and Krysten have a knack for finding pieces that exude effortless style while mixing feminine and edgy, for a selection that will suit just about any fashion-forward shopper. And considering they carry only small local labels, the prices are incredible- these ladies make sure that everything they stock is high-quality and affordable.
Coal Miner's Daughter is located on 587 Markham in Mirvish Village, a super-cute little area with a great selection of restaurants and vintage shops.
