There are few destination shops that fashionistas can identify outside of Toronto, but Tucci Armadio in Unionville is quickly gaining a reputation of being the hidden gem outside of Toronto. Owner Lucia Tucci has created a warm and welcoming atmosphere backed by a strong list of brands that she not only promotes, but personally loves. 

"The key is in the buying. I need to be in love with the Collections," says Tucci. "At my buying appointments, I try them all on to ensure the best comes through my doors. I love quality and especially finding eclectic styles and pieces that keep it different, fresh & innovative."

Instead of focusing on a particular aesthetic, Tucci focuses on bringing in what each brand is known for. If a brand like Parker is known for its shorts and jumpsuits, those are exactly the products that are in stock. Because Gypsy is known for its evening dresses, those are the statement pieces that hang on the racks. Even with names like like Armani & Versace Collezioni, Seventy, Rebecca Taylor, Chio, and Nicholas K, each brand is chosen with a specific objective in mind that highlights its unique selling proposition. 

“Having a wide range of taste and a love for clothes, my chosen collections need to have a high level of quality to substantiate the claims of these exquisite brands,” says Tucci. “Whether it is office wear to evening or every day, it needs to express you. Love and own the fashion.”
