Used, Vintage & Consignment near Kitchener, ON

“Best shopping experience ever! The clothes are all in extremely good condition, and the shop has an overall feel of having been carefully curated. Reva and Sally worked incredibly hard, and spent hours with us... looking through their pieces to find what we liked and what made us look great. Will definitely be back next time I'm in KW!”

“This Talize thrift store is a thrifters paradise. It is a place you could spend a good amount of time treasure hunting.
A few positive facilities are the Change rooms with an attendant posted there most of the time. There is a clean customer bathroom. There is a full service cashier at The checkouts which is a refreshing reprieve from the self-checkouts I have experienced at other thrift stores.
The merchandise is generally priced correctly. There are a few exceptions of the item’s priced high because they have a brand names on them even when they appear to be terrible knock offs. I advise everyone to be educated in spotting the fakes so you don’t pay a premium price for an imitation.
There is a 30% discount for seniors aged 55+ every Tuesday and 10% off every other day.
Anyone who donates used items receives an incentive of a $5 coupon and some have a stipulation of needing the purchase to be $25 in order to redeem. This is the reason I prefer to donate to value village because there coupon tends to same me more money.
A very negative practice I have noticed is when stickers are placed directly on the stuffies fur. This sometimes damages them when the sticker is removed. Please Stop This! I am an avid stuffy collector and need them to be in mint condition.”

“Robyn helped me prepare for 4 events. I walked away with outfits that I was confident in and am updated style. I learned so much that will help me moving forward as well. Thank you so much for your patience, coaching and support!”

“Julie runs such a great business! Whether you are a customer, consigner or both! Love visiting to see what pre-loved items could join my closet (rather than adding to mass consumption of textiles). Daughter (11) loves shopping (and duck hunting) here as well!”

“Luster and oak, more like luster and broke, because that’s what I’m going to be after dropping all my money on incredible clothes!
Seriously glad that everything here is so affordable, even that one time I bought a really nice pair of pants from a different store and then came here and found the exact same ones for $50 cheaper. The employees were so nice they didn’t even laugh at me when I told them.”

“I had an amazing experience at Once Upon A Child! The store was organized, well stocked, and easy to shop, and fun events for extra savings, but what truly made my visit exceptional was the customer service. Serena went above and beyond — she was friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. She made the entire process smooth and enjoyable, and her positive attitude , and sweet personality really stood out. Exceptional employees like her are the reason I’ll continue coming back, we actually drive out from Brantford to shop because they always have everything we need in one stop, Highly HIGHLY recommend this location!”
