I actually checked out the Frock Shoppe for the first time today! Not sure how I missed this place…read moreconsidering what a vintage freak I am. Anyhow, I love it. Really nice vintage store. It's set up nicely, it's clean, and organized well. My favourite part though, is that they have lots of gorgeous older pieces. You can tell that each piece is hand picked for the shop. So glad I finally stopped by!

Community makes me believe in vintage and thrift again. Sound dramatic? Maybe you haven't been…read morethrifting in Vancouver as a plus size woman! Vancouver's vintage and consignment is already notoriously expensive and caters almost exclusively to a small dress size. Community, a Vintage and Consignment that is run by a non-profit Downtown Eastside housing and resource society not only engages with the neighbourhood it lives in, but also works to diversify its size range to engage with shoppers of many sizes. It hires women from the neighbourhood to work in the business and portions of the proceeds go back into the neighbourhood, which feels great while you shop! The space is small but well utilized and well decorated. Great jewelry by local designers is on display and the clothes have a very consistent and curated turnover rate. And the prices!! Compared to Vancouvers vintage scene, Community is absolutely the fairest price I've found yet. These days even Value Village is getting pricey so to go to a shop where the selection is so well picked out and find something affordable feels great. Again, I'm a plus size shopper who finds an amazing score here 90% of the time. Pieces from Community make up probably 50% of my wardrobe. See you there this weekend!

This is a fun vintage and second-hand store that looks deceptively small from the street! The store…read moreis actually fairly large. The main floor has a huge selection of jewellery from various eras, bags, shoes, accessories, and vintage clothing, along with some knick knacks. Upstairs, there's more clothes, including a small children's section, some more contemporary pieces, jeans, housewares and records. The standouts are the shoes and jewellery. There were some amazing shoes including doc martens with flowers and artichocke moschino heels -- if only they were my size! The jewellery selection includes a large selection of screw back and clip on earrings, regular earrings and brooches among necklaces, bracelets, etc. Some very cool and unique pieces. The prices are super fair and the owner curates the whole store and is fun to chat with. Very knowledgeable about styles from different periods! The staff here is really friendly and will help you with suggestions if you are looking for something specific. I was shopping for earrings for my sister and everyone here helped me find the perfect gift. Everything on the ground level has tags that indicated the decade the item dated to. The second floor did not always have this, just because a lot of the items were obviously contemporary so it was not so necessary e.g. a sweater from Zara. This store is a hidden gem!

But regardless if I'm just there to chat, to buy, or to sell, I've always had a great experience with them!

Great secondhand store on Main Street…read more I love that there are so many different rooms, each with its own vintage clothing selection, you could easily spend hours here.

Variety: They offer a wide range of styles for women, catering to different tastes and preferences. The stores strategically stock items from that specific neighborhood they are located. Price: There are things that you definitely score, especially with their points system or monthly sale. They're adept at setting reasonable prices for merchandise, it may have increased slightly, but it's still fair pricing. Their appraisers are knowledgeable in pricing strategy. Staff: They have a ton of stuff, so browse around. The staff members are helpful and some are knowledgeable, providing assistance when needed without being pushy. Consignment Options: If you have gently used designer clothing to sell, they do price it reasonable. I like coming to the South Granville Luxe location,and I have scored many many deals and upfront discount from the managers. I also drop some items for them to sell.
