Clarendon Trading Co.
Curating the world’s best fashion.
I had the pleasure of finding this brand at a thrifting event held by 613 Flea. I fell in love with their mission: to sustainably and affordably curate products to make fashion accessible to all. Not only this, but Clarendon Trading Co. is also Toronto based; the pair of jeans I bought from Clarendon Trading Co. remain my favourite pair to this day!

I discovered this brand during my ‘obsessed with huge t-shirts’ phase and have been hooked ever since; their curation of garments leaves nothing to be desired.
