How it works

Shopping with us is simple on purpose

No cart, no account, no password to reset. Here's how people actually buy from Amarettos: come into the shop at 21 King St W in Dundas and try things on, phone (905) 627-1150 and we'll set something aside under your name, or send us a message on Instagram. There is no online checkout, and none is coming.

1. Come in and try things on

The shop is at 21 King St W in downtown Dundas. Browse on your own, or tell Colleen or Allison what you're dressing for and let them pull a few options. Fitting rooms are in the shop, and trying on is the whole point: the size on the label is a starting guess, not an answer, and it differs from one brand to the next.

2. Call, and we'll hold it

Saw something on our Instagram, or a friend told you about a jacket, or you just want to know if we have a particular bra in your size? Call (905) 627-1150. We'll check the floor while you're on the line. If we have it, we'll put your name on it and set it aside until you can get in.

3. Or message us on Instagram

If you'd rather type than call, send a message to @dundas_amarettos. New arrivals are posted there first, so it's also the best place to see what has just come in.

Buying for your mother, or your wife

This is a big part of what we do, especially around Christmas, Mother's Day and birthdays. Bring, or photograph, a garment she already loves. The brand and size inside it tell us more than a guess would. Intimates are the hardest thing to buy for someone else; a quick read on bra fit will help, and so will a phone call to us before you come in.

What we don't do

We don't have online checkout or shipping through this website, and we are not building one. Amarettos has always been an in-person shop, and for the clothing and intimates we carry, being able to try something on is worth more than a "buy now" button.

We also don't carry wedding or formal wear. If you're dressing for a wedding, a gala or anything black tie, tell us on the phone or at the counter and we'll send you to a shop that does that properly. What we do well is everyday clothing, intimates, sleepwear and footwear, and we'd rather say so than take the sale.
