Three Fates

Specialties

Three Fates, a boutique featuring vintage clothing alongside new Canadian and American

designer pieces, opened its doors recently in Toronto’s eclectic Parkdale neighbourhood.

Former wardrobe stylist and Ryerson graduate Robin Vengroff brought her vision of

transforming her grandmother’s closet into a shop to life with the concept of Three Fates.

History

Customers will also find ease in shopping at Three Fates store as the intimacy of the space allows for a personal experience. The shop also is merchandised to highlight styled outfits and stand out pieces. The laid back atmosphere and Vengroff’s personal touch are to make it feel like the customer is shopping in a friend’s closet.

In high school, Vengroff discovered her love of fashion as the editor of the arts and

entertainment section in her high school paper. She launched the fashion section and secured editorial pieces with local retailers. «It became pretty clear to me at a young age that I knew I was going to be in fashion, to be involved with trend and style,» says Vengroff. Her love of style led her to Ryerson’s Fashion Communications program, and from there she interned at FASHION Magazine followed by working for several small boutiques and local designers and then a corporate fashion position in the trend office of a major retailer.

Now, Vengroff hones her expertise in the Canadian and American retail industry to provide an edited collection of vintage and new pieces at Three Fates. What Vengroff loves most about vintage is the history in each piece. «I like to think that vintage clothing leads more than one life,» says Vengroff. It was this notion that led her to the name Three Fates.
