Awesome
Very clean. Awesome staff. Its a small shop with alot of stuff, so it can
get very crowded. Decent prices. From a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a 9.5. If
it was bigger, it would have been a full 10. I definetly recommend that you
visit this shop.
The Place to Shop
Well
hello all you goth creatures,
I just wanted to explain to all of you that
Borderline/Silver Cross is absolutley the place to go!!! I really don't feel
the need to spend $500 at SNOBBY SIREN!!! Borderline is crazy cheap with a huge
selection of Bracelets,Chokers,Chains,Men and Women gothic attire,(NEW)
Boots,Necklaces,Rings,Patches and much much more. The atmosphere is great and
the people are extremely friendly. The girls at Siren are just fu*kin
b*tches!!!! Gothic Clothing and accesories for a great price= Borderline!!!!
Support Borderline today and come home happy with wicked clothes!!!

Wishes, DarqChild
The Best !
Silver Cross is the best! They have tons of great stuff for a low price. I
usually buy pants and accessories there but they have tons of other clothes.
The MERCH is nice and so are the PEOPLE!

Silver cross is Non-threatening!
Personally, when i first
saw/heard about Silver Cross I personally didn't think that it catered to
gothic/medieval type clothing because all i could see in my peripheral view was
plaid which I am averse to, but as they say, looks are decieving because if you
move to the back there are alot of items similar if not as better as the snobby
gothic boutique Siren. Also, one thing I appreciate in Silvercross is the non
threatning atmosphere, I as a nerved shopper enjoy the non-pressure and
friendliness of the staff especially the " Nipple Shirt Guy" he's quite amusing
and perverted ( in a great way) so i recommend silver cross. its not really
expensive at all. By the way they're Tripp NYC merch is really well priced take
a look at it ;) i got a dress for 80$
Studs
Yes..the only reason I'd go 2
Silver Cross is for there awesum selection of studs in different sizes and
shapes and such. Buht once i've found the studs i came for in the 1st place i
leave becoz it smells weird in there as far as I can remember haha..probably
all the leather. Man..i picked up a pair of bondaged up plaid pants and they
were like a gagillion dollers. No thnx. N-ehoo this review will self destruct
in 5 seconds..
Satisfactory..
This store is only satisfactory as far as
it goes for goth wear but it has other things that may or may not catch your
attention.It has bondage gear and it has pins and patches of bands and other
things.I think that this place would be much better if it was less
expensive.You could probably find some of the things you can find there at
second hand stores for like a 5th of the price.If you have lots of money I
suggest you go here if you don't then you should shop around. HAPPY SHOPPING!!
I hope you find what you are looking for!!

My Review
Hey, I was at Silver Cross last Saturday and
picked up myself a MISFITS t-shirt. 24.95 came to 28 dollars. Good quality
shirts, and stuff there but honestly they need to lower prices.
The
people are really nice, especially the Goth guy withe the long hair and goatee
with the jacket that reminded me of Ville Valo.
Well see the shirt was
almost 30 bucks, and my pals bought some patched that cost 15 dollars for only
two small patches. This store rules, but lower prices would definitley be good,
more customers will come trust...Toronto is expensive..

Nice Staff
Over the summer i went
shopping in Canada around many different goth stores. I found this one to be
the most helpful and friendly. NOt only did they have a great selection of
clothes they had an extremly nice staff. ^_^
Meh
Well, I've only been to Silver
Cross twice, and I have to say it seems like a pretty good store from what I'm
hearing, but from my experiance, it kinda sucks. All they had when I went in
was a bunch of leather jackets and some cheezy longsleeve shirts with those
'crazy cool' fire designs etc. And the clerks were both older Asian people when
I went and i couldn't understand them worth a crap. Well, its better than the
thrift stores in this hick town... anyways, i hope its better when I go next
time.

Quality Issues
My boyfriend and I
recently purchased some items in Silver Cross (I love all the stuff in that
store) however I'm dissapointed in the quality of the merchandise. I bought a
silver chain which tarnished badly within 2 weeks, and my boyfriend bought a
wallet and the snap-button broke off only 3 days later! Unfortunately, we
didn't keep the receipts, so we didn't attempt to return the stuff. The sales
people are usually very friendly, but if they're going to charge that much for
their stuff, it should be able to last a little longer than ours did!

mmm... goth guys and goth clothes! ;)
i loved loved loved this store! it was great! i personally live in peterborough
(about 1.5 away for those of you who don't know) and came down just for the day
today (aug 22). seeing as it was my moms birthday (and she took and a chunk of
our money for getting a tatoo that's awesome!!!) i didn't just come waltzing in
there for my first time with all the money in the bank, so unfortunately i
could buy anything else that spiked my interest today, but regardless of my
lack of cash... the store was my favourite out of all the goth stores i went to
in TO (siren, black market, house of ill repute and of course, the great and
holy.... silver cross!) and i will deffinatly be back next time i pay a visit
to toronto (which will hopefully be sooner then later)!!!! this stores clothes
were fairly reasonable prices compared to some other prices i saw or have heard
of and i loved their selection of jewelery and they not only had fishnet shirts
in all sizes, but they has a lovely f! ishnet skirt which i loved as well! i
deffinatly feel the need for one of their lovely fishnet shirts and wouldn't
mind the skirt as well. again, concitering the lack of available money at the
time... all i was able to buy was a new belly button ring and my mother bought
a lovely (but small) pentagram necklace! now, although the products themselves
were stylish ans good looking, the sales clerk whom seems to be labeled "nipple
shirt guy" was just as good looking (if not more) then the merchandise! too bad
he's not for sale! haha! and yes, as everyone else has seemed to agree... he
was exceptionally nice and well mannered and he is deffinatly an insperation
(on top of the merchandise) to come back to the store asap! i loved the store,
the sexy goth clerk, and everything else! A+! * * * * (four stars!) oh, and
from what i noticed, the owners seemed nice enough. i didn't find anything
wrong with the store and it was better then all the other stores i looked in!!!
:D
I must say that Silver Cross is definitely THE
best place to get leather collars and wristbands and the like. They have
everything you could possibly imagine as far as that goes, and if they don't
have the proper size for you, the little guy working there will pull some
superfast adjustments while you wait. They also have different size spikes
there so you can customize your stuff and switch things around. Another thing
that I really love about the place is (of course) the wicked Lip Service
stuff...if I go to Siren, sometimes they don't have every Lip Service item
that's on the site. So if they don't I always check Silver Cross, and they just
might. For instance, I was there a couple days ago and there was a certain
dress from a brand new LS line I was searching for that Siren hadn't recieved
yet, and LO and BEHOLD! There it was at trusty old Silver Cross! They also have
a wicked selection of fun and filthy buttons! I got one that says "you can't
afford me"! HA!
Yesterday I had the chance to visit the much
talked about Silver Cross. I had been looking around most of down town for it
having forgotten the address, but it was convieniently placed on Queen st. As
soon as I walked in I saw an amazing selection on clothing, and for noticably
better prices then at most gothic shops. The clerk (nipple shirt guy) was
really nice, and I could actually have a conforsation with him without being
pressured to buy anything (I had already emptied my wallet..). They also had a
sale rack, something that seems to be unknowen at Siren.. But, all in all, I
really enjoyed shopping at Silver Cross, and plan on going again sooooooon!

I know some people believe that the Silver Cross
is expensive but having lived in North Bay before and now shopping at the
Silver Cross you would not image the price differences... it's cheaper! And on
top of the money I'm saving there's a bigger selection of clothing. It's a
great store. I've even shopped at the Hot Topic stores in Los Angeles, some of
which are three times bigger, and the Silver Cross offers the same amount of
variety and quality products at the same price. Still to bad about the spikes
though...

The owner of Silver Cross are usually very
helpful... but I find that a few of the clerks just don't like me. I usually
can't afford to buy something everytime I walk into there, but I just like
looking at the clothes and oggling over what I may like at some point. The one
male clerk who always works weekdays (the only time I go down there) gives me a
dirty look every time I walk in, and when I try to be friendly and smile at him
because I've seen him at my work, he either sneers at me or ignores me
completely. He is the only person who has ever been on shift when I go in,
other than one of the owners. Ah well. Must begin to get richer, I suppose.
(dreams of $) Then again, if I was rich, I'd shop at Siren.
Nipple-Shirt Guy
Nipple-Shirt Guy...
~laughs at "J"'s dubbing of the male goth clerk at Silver Cross~
Yeah... he's a really awesome dude. He's one of the few sales clerks (I find)
who possesses an I.Q, and really doesn't give a shit whether the store sells
anything: he'll advocate for the merchandise if he _honestly_ thinks it looks
good on you.
I can actually stand there and converse with the guy, which
is a first for me at any of these gothic stores in T.O. Usually, the clerks
seem so standoffish at the other stores, specially Siren... but, we won't get
into that... Siren is a HUGE pet peeve of mine.
And a point to the ladies
(and men, if you are so inclined - and DAMNIT, you SHOULD BE - ): get him to
talk to you. He has quite the interesting outlook on life, and is very
friendly. Super hot too, but I think we all know THAT. If you provide him with
enough intellectual stimulation, your 15-minute session (or however long it may
be) at Silver Cross is time well spent. JUST DON'T SPEND FORTY MINUTES MULLING
OVER WHAT PATCH TO BUY!!! Can you imagine the pain of having to deal with that,
if you were a clerk?
Anyways. I've really rambled on and on. ~curtsies to
Raven_Nyte~ Thankee for the support... ~winks~
So again, my advice to all:
Shop at Silver Cross! They rawk!

I can't agree more with the fantastic
reviews of Silver Cross. It is by far my favourite Goth store in the GTA and
again the staff are wonderful (especially "the clerk" that my friends and I
have affectionately dubbed "nipple-shirt guy".) I've had nothing but good
experiences with this store and all their merchandise is top notch. I love all
their collars and cuffs (they have amazing selection) and if by the rare
occasion they don't have what you're looking for they'll make it for you. As
long as this store is around, I'll keep visiting. (Who knows... it will
probably out live me :P)

I so agree
Hello all I just want to
agree the person who added their comments onSilver Cross on May 2..
YOu
can't get better than Siver Cross..
and Siren *chuckles* they are sooUBER
its blinding....
Siver Cross OWNS!! esp certain ppl in there...
KEEP SILVER CROSS ALIVE!!!!
I really like this store it has some great
products. i am some what upset that thay can not sell spikes any more which i
just found out like 5 days ago... i have not been getting out much the only
thing i have against them is there fucking prices but fuck it i'll still shop
there till i find a cheaper place
Did I hear "MEAN"?!?!
I've been going
to Silver Cross ever since I can remember... and even though they've changed
sales clerks a few times or whatnot, the owners have remained quite the amazing
group. I have NEVER had a hard time with them, they have NEVER EVER been rude,
or gotten in my face pressing their merchandise.
They don't pressure
you to buy anything at all, and if you _don't_ buy anything, they smile and
wish you a great day as you leave. They are kind, considerate, and so therefore
I don't understand where all the other comments come from. At least...
~snickers~... they're not all stuck up like the elitist goths at Siren.
So anyways: Shop at Silver Cross!!! They rawk.

I have to agree with the eariler posting
on Siver Cross .. the owners of this establishment.. are very nice &
patient..I too got there and shop quite often , before I go and rot @a certian
coffee shop...But for those who know the HOTT gothy behind the counter.. canyou
really help but Sit and talk for a lil ' while?? I say not..And to the HOtt
Gothy you know who you are * *Evil Grin*..
What it really boils down
to is...the owners won't give you trouble if you actually make a conscious
effort to at LEAST browse you shouldn't have a problem..SO Cheers & Happy

To the girl who thinks that the people at Silver
Cross are mean:
I have been shopping at Silver Cross since it opened
in 1992 and I know the owners personally. They are very kind and understanding
people but unfortunately because of their downtown location, they have their
run ins with shoplifters, troublemakers and guess who? people who just hang out
in the store and dont buy anything and who take up the salesperson's valuable
time.
Everytime I go in there, I buy like 100 bucks worth of stuff,
and I am always very polite to them because I know they are busy as hell and
can get stressed out. So next time you should take that into account! Cheers,
Darkheart

Just wanted to post an updated review of Silver
Cross since there hasn't been one in a while. They have just recently gotten in
a whole bunch of really great new stuff! (and the new boy behind the counter is
a nice new item too for any little goth chick looking for some eye candy while
in the core) They've always had great prices and a good selection. Its not
there fault they can't sell
spikes anymore but they are more then making up for it with all the
great stuff they have to offer. So go check them out. You won't regret it.
