The Dilettante Circle

Introducing the Dilettante Circle—our annual archival fashion market that presents a unique opportunity to recycle your designer clothing, shoes, and accessories. You have complete control over setting the price for each item, and the best part is that you will receive 100% of the item's price in Dilettante store credit upon sale.

Our mission at the Dilettante Circle is to promote sustainable fashion practices, breathe new life into well-made, well-loved pieces, and foster a sense of community among our esteemed friends, clients, and neighbours.

Our next Circle will be held on July 26th & 27th 2025 at 2 Bay View Terrace, Claremont. Contributions are being accepted from July 1st until July 20th.




Items from the last Dilettante Circle

Take a moment to assess your wardrobe — set aside those pieces that haven't seen the light of day in over a year. As the next Circle approaches, if these treasures remain forgotten, it’s a sign they’re ready to be exchanged for something new.

Indulge in guilt-free shopping while supporting circular fashion—it's a double victory.

HOW IT WORKS

1. You select items from your wardrobe that you loved, but no longer wear, to contribute to the Dilettante Circle.

2. Bring the items you wish to sell to Dilettante's Claremont boutique anytime from July 1st and no later than July 20th. Our staff will receive and assess your items, discuss your sell prices, and store your items safely in advance of the event. We recommend you consider your desired sale prices ahead of time to aid us in providing expeditious service.
