How to Reach Mrs. Huizenga

Reaching out to us is easy, and honestly, it's one of our favorite parts of running this shop. Whether you're hunting for a specific mid-century lamp, wondering if a certain vinyl record is in stock, or just looking for directions to our Toronto location, we're here to help. We don't use automated bots to answer messages β€” every email and phone call is handled by a real person who actually knows what they're talking about.

If you're local to Toronto, we highly recommend stopping by in person. There's a reason people make a day out of visiting our space. The shop is located in one of the city's most accessible neighborhoods, with street parking available and public transit routes running right outside the door. Our doors are open Tuesday through Saturday from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and on Sundays from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Mondays are our behind-the-scenes days, where the team focuses on inventory, cleaning, cataloging new arrivals, and prepping online orders. If you absolutely need to visit on a Monday, just shoot us a message and we'll see if we can arrange something private.

For email inquiries, we typically respond within 24 hours. For urgent requests, give us a call between 11 AM and 5 PM on weekdays and we'll sort it out together.

For those browsing from outside Canada, our online support works just as smoothly. We ship to over 45 countries, and our international team is used to handling time zone differences. If you're looking at a piece on our website and want to see extra photos, ask about dimensions, or check the condition of a specific corner, just drop us a line. We'll gladly take fresh pictures, measure it twice, and even video-call you if that makes you more comfortable. Buying vintage online shouldn't feel like a gamble. We make sure you know exactly what you're getting before it ever leaves our hands.

We also get a lot of custom sourcing requests, and we genuinely love them. Tell us what you're looking for β€” a 1960s Danish teak credenza, a specific concert poster from the 70s, a batch of 50s cocktail dresses for a photoshoot β€” and we'll add it to our sourcing list. We're constantly at estate sales, auctions, and private dealer networks across North America. If it's out there, we've got a pretty good shot at finding it. Keep in mind that vintage items aren't mass-produced, so we can't guarantee exact timelines, but we've built a reputation for tracking down the hard-to-find pieces.

Wholesale and creative collaborations are another big part of our contact inbox. Film studios, interior designers, boutique hotels, and magazine stylists regularly reach out to rent or purchase items in bulk. We're open to these partnerships and have a dedicated process for larger orders, including volume pricing, professional invoicing, and white-glove delivery options for local Toronto clients. If you're working on a project that needs authentic, camera-ready vintage pieces, let us know what you need and we'll put together a custom list tailored to your vision.

Lastly, if you have something to sell or consign, we're always looking. We don't buy everything β€” our standards are pretty high, and we turn away items that don't fit our aesthetic or quality requirements β€” but if you've got genuine vintage in good condition, we'd love to take a look. Send us clear photos, approximate dimensions, any known history about the piece, and your asking price. Our team reviews submissions daily and will get back to you with an honest assessment and a fair offer.

However you choose to connect with us β€” through a quick email, a phone call, an Instagram DM, or just walking through the front door β€” know that you'll be treated like part of the community. That's how we've always done it, and that's how we'll keep doing it. Thanks for being here.

What People Say

I walked in on a rainy Saturday afternoon just to escape the weather. Three hours later I left with a 1960s lamp, two vinyl records, and the best cup of coffee I've had all week. This place is dangerous in the best way possible.

SARAH M.
Interior Designer, Toronto

Been collecting vintage props for film work for over a decade. Mrs. Huizenga is hands down the best curated shop I've visited in North America. The team actually knows their inventory and can tell you the history behind each piece.

MARCUS T.
Set Designer, Vancouver

Ordered a mid-century side table online and it arrived in perfect condition. The packaging was meticulous. You can tell they treat every order like it's going to their own home. Already planning my next purchase.

JULIA K.
Collector, London UK

My wife and I stopped by during a weekend trip and ended up spending our entire afternoon there. Found a beautiful 1970s leather jacket and a stunning art deco mirror. The vibes in that shop are just different.
