Est. 2009, LAB is a Canadian online boutique specializing in the resale of chic, gently used and new, designer and contemporary ladies handbags, footwear, accessories, and clothing. 

Beginning as a pop up shop in 2009 LAB garnered lots of attention from Toronto fashion media, founder Lauren Baker decided 2010 was the right time to open up a brick and mortar in the hip Queen West/Ossington shopping district in which celebrities such as Catherine Keener, Rachel McAdams and Leslie Feist have been seen shopping at.

In 2011 Lucky Magazine included LAB in their famous shopping guides. Eager to fill the shop with more luxe goods, LAB re-located to posh Avenue Rd and expanded their online shopping presence.

2013 found LAB eager to expand yet again, with a new web store shipping worldwide and expansion of the brand to include a national consignment mail-in program. LAB closed their Avenue Rd location and committed to the online world 100%. Supporters include Amy Millan, Emily Haines, Serena Ryder, and Stephanie Mark of The Coveteur.

2016 presented an offer LAB couldn't refuse. Expanding to Hamilton in which luxury goods at resale prices had yet to break through. Operating 100% online.  

2017 LAB welcomed brand new beauty to their inventory, which has LAB being the only resale shop doing this at such a large scale.

2019 LAB celebrated 10 years of business!

2020 reared its ugly head and presented LAB with some decisions. Owner Lauren Baker decided to make some swift changes. Re-Branding to LAB Luxury Resale, a website re-launch, and opening a second division under the LAB umbrella: The LAB Edit. The LAB Edit focuses on essentials that consumers are looking to for comfort during this new frontier. From bodycare, to loungewear, to pleasure devices, LAB is expanding and the future looks bright.
