There were a few events I couldn’t attend last week and LAB’s launch party was one of them. From the sounds of it LAB had a packed house with guests, such as Evan Biddell, Nadia Litz, k-os and Sarah Taylor in attendance to lend their support for the newest consignment store on the Queen Street West block. Included are a few photos of the night.

About LAB Consignment: founded by Lauren Baker in 2009, LAB Consignment is a new consignment service specializing in the resale of chic, gently used, designer and vintage ladies clothing, shoes and handbags. As a long-time Queen West denizen, Baker sources her exclusive inventory from the wardrobes of her many fashion-forward suppliers: actors, musicians, stylists and hipsters alike. LAB carries a mix of affordable vintage and contemporary wares, as well as designer-label pieces by such names as Yves St. Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana, A.P.C., Marc Jacobs and Diane Von Furstenberg.

After launching online (www.labconsignment.com) and hosting various pop-up sales, LAB Consignment now moves into the physical realm with a new retail space located in the rear studio area of Silver Falls Vintage (15 Ossington Ave). It will open to the public on May 20, 2010.

Hours: Tuesday - Friday 12pm-6pm, Saturday 12pm-7pm and Sunday 12pm-6pm.
