Doll Factory by Damzels is a clothing and accessories store that specializes in items that hark back to a time gone by - 1950s and earlier - and it’s just delightful! Their items don’t look old-fashioned. In fact, they are wonderfully whimsical, stylish, sophisticated, and timeless in a unique way.
Their dresses work for weddings, back-to-the-office wear, and casual occasions. And they currently have a fantastic selection for festive holiday parties!
Their accessories are second to none - boasting an impressive collection of handbags, jewelry, and hair accessories. They are currently leaning heavily into kitty-themed items, and are the perfect place to pick up something extra special for the cat lover in your life!
Don’t forget to check out their swimsuit collection. It screams Marilyn Monroe and you’ll feel great in the flattering cuts!
Doll Factory has been in Leslieville for 19 years and is a women-owned business. They’re also dress designers!
Located at 1122 Queen East, they have a Roncesvalles location as well. If you can’t make it to the shop, you can still get your purchases delivered right to your door with Haystack’s holiday free 2-day delivery service! Sign up (link in the comments)!
