Fabulous Fashions for Fall

Here's just a tiny peek at what's in our window. On the left is a Paper People sweater dress, on the right a Momiji bubble skirt and reversible jacket by Embody. We have new, fabulous stuff arriving daily as all the designers sew, knit, silkscreen and make jewellery like mad! We have more than just clothes too, of course. Bags, wallets, purses and belts, as well as jewellery of all kinds and kids stuff galore!

All you need is love, and....

.... a great bag like this one. Integrity Designs uses hemp fabric and re-worked uphostery fabrics to patch together bags like this, printed with Beatles lyrics!

Zombie Bag by Cipolla

These bags are so popular, and with good reason. Big enough to hold everything, full of useful pockets, sturdy construction and a zombie just needing a hug to boot!

Pop culture jewellery

We have lots of great pop culture jewellery by various Toronto designers. Here are several pieces by Storybeads designer Leslie Jones. As well, check out Designs by Peeno for fun, toungue-in-cheek 50's housewives, and other fun pendants.

Story Beads necklaces and collars

A truly unique line of jewellery, designer Leslie Jones makes great resin jewellery, and layers it with lace and sheer fabric collars. Each piece you see here is sold seperately, so you can layer, or unlayer as you like. My favorites are the resin barbie photos, made from pictures she takes herself of her vintage doll collection.

Reversible Jacket from Embody

Simply stunning and unique. Each jacket is one-of-a-kind and reversible. We have several different colors of plaid in stock, and more arrive daily.

Charmed I'm sure!

Designs by Peeno is in a creative boom! Penny Pennell, the label's designer, is trying out a bunch of new styles with great results, like this fun charm necklace. Check out her display in the shop for the full selection of cute, fun and whimsical jewellery!

Organic Cotton Wrap Tops from Paper People Clothing


Here's a lovely wrap top by Paper People Clothing. Designer Jennifer Fukushima has made this style is several colors (including a beautiful dark fushia) with various silkscreen prints. The fabrics are so soft and drapey, this top could be warn pretty dressy, but since it's so comfy, it'll be a favorite with jeans too. Three fabric choices, all environmentally friendly! Hemp, organic cotton and bamboo jersey.

Birdie necklace

Birds seem to be more popular than ever, and if you love birds and owls as much as we do, come on in to see our great selection of unique and fun jewellery and accessories with not only birdie themes, but dogs, cats, wildlife and all kinds of other animals. This necklace is by Margie Jewellery, our newest member.

New jackets from Momiji

Our newest clothing label, Momiji, is really impressing us this fall! New jackets, dresses and pants are arriving almost daily! Vintage influences but thouroughly modern pieces will mix in with your wardrobe and take you into fall and winter in style.

Cute corduroy dresses!

Made from the softest corduroy ever, our wash and wear, and wear and wear and wear dresses will be your favorites, hands down. Our cuts are so flattering, and we have a great range of prints and solids, with pockets and without. All from Fresh Baked Goods, of course!

Gorgeous accessories at Fresh Collective

We have a great and ever changing selection of bags, scarves and belts by Toronto designers. Here's a cotton print scarf from Cipolla, who also makes great bags, purses, little wallets and hankies!

Earrings! My favorite way to feel cute....

I love lots of earrings! It's my favorite way to feel good all day, and it's a great little shopping treat. Here's a great selection of Buttercup Days earrings made from a mix of new and vintage charms and beads, in every color you could possibly want.

I love fall!

We had lots of fun putting together our fall window, and choosing the lovely earthy toned things to feature in it. Here's are tops by Utility Grade and Fresh Baked Goods, a wallet by Cipolla, a necklace by Designs by Peeno, and a scattering of buttons by Space Cat! You'll have fun pokng through our shop and seeing the amazing assortment of fabulous handmade items from Toronto's most talented desigers (if we do say so ourselves;) )

Romantic Necklaces


So pretty and romantic looking, Buttercup Days jewellery is so gorgeous, it's no wonder it's been popular at Fresh Collective ever since we opened our doors in 2003. Each necklace is one-of-a-kind, and designer Clare Raman uses vintage charms that are very limited in number and hard to find, and mixes them with new beads and findings to create a style all her own. It's a style all your own, too, since no piece is ever repeated!

For all you Buttercup Days fans....


We have the best selection of Buttercup Days ever! Big and beautiful chunky necklaces and charm bracelets with vintage beads, charms and Canadiana souvenir pieces.

Gorgeous new fall arrivals daily!


The designers at Fresh Collective each make their own line, and bring in their stuff as it's ready, so everyday new gorgeous items are showing up for Fall. Here's an example of gorgeous new tops from Fresh Baked Goods! We have lots in printed corduroys, and beautiful Japanese cotton prints like this one. And just look how well our lines coordinate! All this Buttercup Days jewellery goes beautifully with the colors of the fabrics we're using.
