Vintage Couture ~ Modern Luxury
We didn’t quite know what to call this colour…… Ice blue, steel blue, slate blue or periwinkle blue? We decided to settle on powder blue, as it’s soft with a hint of grey. The Prada dress on the left is one of ten incredibly beautiful dresses that we received in this week. We hope to feature them all […]
We have always had a soft spot for Mosch¡no! When it comes through the door here we are instantly thrilled to the gills to see and try it on. Whether it’s a contemporary piece by Jeremy Scott or a vintage number from the past, we just adore the tongue in cheek humour that the brand […]
We think our new champagne window is just as effervescent and sweet as the French beverage. We’ve come upon this conclusion after studying the reactions of passersby on the sidewalk. It’s all math really…. Pedestrian speed x fashion stimuli / dopamine increase = goodness. L~ Contemporary hand sequined dress, size 2-4. Sold C~ 1960’s 2pc […]
So everyone went gaga last week over our instagram pic of the tangerine window! We figured we would stick with the fruity juice theme since that’s what everyone seems to be thirsty for. Feel like a twist of lime this time? Don’t worry this citrus won’t make you pucker, we promise 😉 L~1960’s cotton dress […]
Fresh squeezed tangerines are now juicing it up in our window. (And by juicing I don’t mean the steroid crazy/scary muscle kind, that would be weirder than GMOs….) Warm weather time is now here and that means THOSE events are soon approaching. What will you be wearing? C’mon in for a visit and let us […]
When black’s not right, why not navy? The non-neutral but yet neutral shade… Check out the crazy Walk Away Factor™ on that dress to the right. Its button up racerback is stunningly chic, especially forward for it’s time considering that it’s from the 1970’s. Perfectly flirty and guaranteed to drop jaws! L~Contemporary french silk dress […]
Ok ladies, take a deep breath and buckle your seat belts as we are about to show you our largest posting yet of Chanel treats! We have 21 items to woo you with, so get your screen shooting fingers ready because mother’s day is just around the corner. Chanel blue Gripoix glass bubble clip ons. […]
Dove grays and cutaways occupy the centre stage this week in our window. When creme or white isn’t right, why not opt for this subtle neutral alternative? L~ 1960’s crochet cutaway midriff dress, size 4-6. Sold C~1970’s hand beaded jersey gown, size 2-4. Sold R~1960’s cutaway brocade cocktail dress, size 6.
I’m releasing my inner dominatrix this week (not really) by giving you a black leather filled window. Fun fact; I cut my teeth in many a retail shop before opening the Meow Meow and Danier leather (RIP) was one of them. Therefore I may know a thing or two about skins. One things for sure, […]
Our fresh window has 3 dollops of cream but with 0 calories! How sweet is that?! We have been getting alot of you brides through as of late so we though we should do an ‘alternative bridal’ theme for this week. Whether it’s a tack filled Las Vegas eloping (white lace 60’s jumpsuit anyone?), a […]
Is there any better way to resemble old money other than toting a vintage Hermès Kelly bag? We think not! So if your grand mother/mother wasn’t a dame, lady, Von or heiress to say a large potato empire supplying fries to the masses; then we’ve got you covered. Please welcome our newest members to the […]
If you’re a long time follower of our blog then you know that pink & purple is our #1 fav colour mash up. So it should come as no surprise that this window was a real treat for us to merchandise. These suits are giving us total Elle Woods vibes and that’s probably another reason […]
Just a big ‘thank-you’ to all of you who sent us congratulatory wishes and came out last Saturday to our party. We had a blast and look forward to what the next 10 years have to bring! The always chic Hannah Hoppe.
It was 10 years ago, April 1, 2006 to be exact, that I got the keys for 180 Avenue Rd. With much energy & enthusiasm I was hell-bent to bring Toronto the best selection of jaw dropping vintage and luxury goods. After 7 days of renovations, The Cat’s Meow was ready to swing open it’s […]
We have rolled out the red carpet, literally, for our big 10th year anniversary window! We are so excited to show you some couture pieces from our personal collection. So if you’re coming this Saturday to our party (from 10-5) you will get an exclusive peek at 2 never before exhibited gowns which showcase fashion’s […]
Don’t know if you noticed or not, but we skipped out on doing a post last week. Sorries… Things have been a little crazy around the Meow Meow lately as we are preparing for our big 10 year anniversary next week. On Saturday, April 2nd we will be celebrating this landmark with a party at […]
I don’t mean to brag but, I’ve seen many beautiful garments and textiles over the past 15 years in this biz. It’s like fuel for me, or perhaps it’s more equivalent to an addiction? I literally get a high when an item comes into the shop that is beyond gorgeous. This was the case in […]
After almost a month of saturated colours in our window, we have gone back to black baby! And not in a shy way either. We went full throttle with the vampy drama. We like to balance things out for you, because we care about your fashion feng shui. L~ J Mendel black silk chiffon gown […]
Wow, you all went bananas for last week’s yellow window! It was our most ‘liked’ picture ever on our instagram page→@thecatsmeowmeow. Thank you yellow lovers! But now, however can we top it? Hopefully you’ll find our current bubble gum pink display just as sweet! L~ 1960’s hand embroidered rafia dress, size 6-8. C~1960’s Bottega-esque woven […]
Sunshine yellow is beaming out of our window and onto Avenue Rd this week. We figured you might need a little vintage vitamin D to put a some pep in your step. On another note, did you know that this year marks the Meow Meow’s 10th anniversary? We are thrilled to the gills that you […]
