Mama Loves You is a boutique that was born from a family's love of vintage. The shop, which is located at 541 Queen St. West, is the brainchild of mother-daughter duo Melo and Mahro Anfield.
The store opened in 2012 after Mahro graduation from Ryerson's fashion program. With years of experience working in vintage shops and growing up watching her mom as a vintage buyer, the timing was perfect for the two to join forces and build something of their own.
Mama Loves You represents a little piece of both the owners.
"Growing up, my home in Vancouver was very bohemian and hippy. I wanted [the store] to feel like that," Mahro told StyleDemocracy. "Very relaxed and comfortable, not pretentious or intimidating."
And a laid-back, free-spirited feel is exactly what you get when you walk into the store. Decorated with antique chandeliers, vintage tables, and bright pink walls, the pieces you'll find in-store are just as beautiful as the furnishings.
Discover unique pieces from every decade.
Mama Loves You Vintage carries a range of women and men's pieces that date back from the early 1900s to the 1990s, so no matter your style, you're sure to find something you love here. Before items hit the racks, each item is washed, mended and steamed with care. From brightly printed blouses and dresses to band tees and denim shorts, there's a huge variety to choose from.
