At Ribotti Vintage, each piece tells a story, every choice is thoughtful, and every visitor is part of a community that values authenticity and sustainability.
A FAMILY STORY
Ribotti Vintage is above all the adventure of a Montreal family. Founded in 2018 by Shawn Ann Ribotti, the store is rooted in a sincere desire to help her father, an avid collector of vintage pieces.
What started as a family project quickly became a personal passion to meet a need: offering vintage and second-hand clothing suited for harsh winters and outdoor activities. Through a collaboration with Igloofest, the collection took shape and expanded beyond just clothing, creating a true community.
Ribotti Recreate and Ribotti Remake are the culmination of many years of reflection and ideation, marking the starting point for the development of a brand firmly focused on the future.
Passionate about visual arts and driven by creative energy, Shawn dreamed of a space where a community of independent women could come together and share common values. Founded in 2022, the dream was materialized with the Mile-End store: a safe space for her clients and collaborators, where responsible shopping, gender-neutral fashion expression and the quality/uniqueness of each item are at the heart of the experience.

By collaborating with local artists, Shawn breathes new life into forgotten materials while promoting an eco-friendly approach. Her vision is clear: to continue developing a committed brand that combines artistic creativity with the reuse of resources, while supporting the local art scene.
The Ribotti Vintage store is inspired by retro ski, with a nod to Montreal's sporting and artistic culture. The interior design, created in collaboration with local artists, celebrates the city’s history, particularly through references to the 1976 Olympic Games.
KEY INFOS
Our online platform is open year-round, however, it's mainly in autumn and winter that you’ll see new arrivals land on the website. Online and in-store inventory differs, unless if indicated in the product description.
In our Mile End store, you will find a beautiful selection of clothing, as well as slowmade and upcycled creations, such as our Ribotti Remake line, and jewelry made by local artisans.
The care of each piece is important to us: everything is washed and/or repaired (if necessary) by our seamstress, except when it’s irreparable. And of course, the prices always reflect the condition of each item!
