Chance & Fate offers a curated collection for style conscious women, aimed to simplify closets of those leading multi-faceted lives.

Chance & Fate was founded in 2016 by Michelle Wilson, who sought to offer Canadians a curated selection of contemporary brands from around the world–without steep shipping fees. Bridging her background in innovation and business, she launched the ecommerce site shortly after leaving the world of corporate consulting.

In 2023, close collaborator Yunnie Balders became the new owner of Chance & Fate–a natural move after working with Michelle for years on many aspects of the business. When the opportunity presented itself, it felt like a dream, having long aspired to own a store of her own. Prior to, Yunnie worked on Chance & Fate part-time while also working in healthcare (where she still works part-time!).

Both women are incredibly passionate about their community as they are clothing. Raising a young family in Toronto’s west end, it’s this understanding of leading busy, dynamic lives that drives the Chance & Fate ethos: effortless, minimal and classic.

As the current owner, Yunnie continues to source high quality pieces from lesser known brands that harmonize style and sustainability. She hopes they instill a quiet confidence that stems from feeling good in what you’re wearing and in the brands you choose to support. A number of the brands produce their pieces in LA, Italy and New York, and pay special attention to their impact on the environment.

Our current offering includes labels like ATP Atelier, Stylein, Flattered, Donni and more.
