The Alton Mill is an 1880s stone knitting mill that has been lovingly converted into an arts centre housing 20+ artists & artisans in working studios, 3 galleries, a café and unique shops.

Rare Treads is a delightful boutique nestled in on the first floor, featuring some of Canada's finest artisans.  Handcrafted fashions, accessories and decor are sure to meet every occasion.

New to Rare Threads is the introduction of monthly Pop-Up Vendors, that will add even a greater variety of goods and provide a constant changing shopping experience.

An hour's drive from downtown Toronto, it is open to the public year-round Wednesdays through Sundays and Holiday Mondays 10-5. See below for the address and directions.

If you can't make it out, you can also buy online and have your courier pick up the item at the store.  We will prep the package for your courier for a $15.00 fee and require 48hrs. for pick up.
