Ian Drummond Collection Inc.

Ian and his collection are outstanding members of the industry. His decades of knowledge makes his collection absolutely comprehensive of vintage fashion and design, and he is always an utter pleasure to deal with when I visit several times each year,. I would, and frequently do, recommend him for any aspect whatsoever of working with vintage fashion.

I first met Ian Drummond when he had a vintage clothing store on Queen Street in Toronto before he expanded his business into supplying the film industry. He is a highly regarded and respected dealer at almost every vintage clothing sale in Toronto and has done them for decades, long before on-line sales were another option. Having both sold to and bought from him over the years I have always found him to be respectful, knowledgable and generous in sharing his vast experience in knowing materials, condition, care, identification plus age, and current market value of items. Like anything in the antiques or vintage market, prices and value change all the time, and I have always found him to be fair in buying from me knowing how much he is willing to do in cleaning, repairing and restoring garments for use again. As a seller of used clothing to a dealer you cannot expect to get more than retail for an item without taking into account their overhead involved in running a business or the investment it takes in each piece for them to continue being of use. I look forward to seeing him at the vintage sales and look for whatever recent finds he has discovered!

Thank you for looking at my vintage closet!
The list I had prepared made the process easy and straightforward. (there was LOT to go through!) Giving new life to old clothing is a wonderful thing. I know many of the items were in need of repairs, so happy to have found someone willing to invest their time and money to do it properly and preserve these historical nuggets. I'm truly happy these are going to have many more years of use, and not ending up in a landfill.
thanks

Amazing collection here. An easy and fun experience. Would definitely come back.
