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!

What an incredible weekend in Vancouver! Celebrating my best friend's birthday turned into an…read moreunforgettable experience with our amazing friend Christina, a certified colour analysis analyst. Christina made us feel special and excited as she guided us through discovering our true colors. The session was eye-opening, highlighting shades that enhance our beauty and showing us what to avoid. Shopping will never be the same--I can't wait to use my new color palette! Christina tailored her advice perfectly for each of us, offering insights that no AI tool could replicate. It was a delightful mix of education and fun, filled with laughter. If you ever get the chance to experience colour analysis, do it! It's not just about colors; it's about embracing who you are. Thank you, Christina, for making our experience so special! Have any of you tried colour analysis? What was it like for you?

I was provided with an online quote that was favourable so I brought my item in to be evaluated and…read moreto finish the deal. The clerk took my item, receipts etc to the back and then returned in about 5 mins saying the bag would need to be authenticated. I was informed it would take approximately 30 min. upon my return to the store 30 minutes later I was informed they were passing on my item and didn't do the authentication. No explanation on why they did not have the authentication done or why they were passing on the item. if they felt it was not authentic, why not say so right away and tell me why they believe it to be nit authentic? this item was brand new and bought directly from LV and I provided the receipts. can't help but feel that this decision to not accept my item was not based solely on the item. very disappointing experience as well as obvious lack of knowledge on luxury pieces.

Most of the booths were focused on theistic hipster barn chic. If you like pastel country barn inspired decor and mason jars..., this was the place. Admission was s modest $5 The location was a bit difficult to find especially with construction blocking one entrance to the pier. It was getting a bit frustrating. Most of the booths originated from Maple Ridge, Langley and Abottsford.

I always enjoyed looking through thrift stores to see what kind of stuffs they sell, this place do…read moresell tons of the typical used books, clothing, videos/DVDs and much more furnitures than the Salvation Army thrift store on Fell which happens to be a few blocks away. The prices on some of the items I've seen were a mix between fair and competitive, and the few employees I've bumped into there seems fairly nice. But the few things about it that I didn't dislike of anything but felt I should mention was that this place felt like a combination between your average grandparent's place and a warehouse. Basically this place, while had some nice things in stock, but felt a little bit run down. That and the front door and the front part of this place might make a few people unsure if this is even a store at all. I guess don't judge a book by its cover and all because they did have a few nice things. So if you have what I like to call " the thrifty fever" like me, someone who likes thrift stores, then this location seems like a pretty decent place to check out.

Everything carries subtle charm in all the little quirks that differentiate these designs from the cookie cutter styles that haunt Vancouver's Robson Street. Much of the stock carried in this little space is exclusive to One of a Few. Little pictures hang on the walls, each one framed differently. A desk sits in the middle of the shop... no additional wooden bar sectioning off from patrons. The store looks out onto both Water Street and Cordova. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. It feels more like you've wandered into your friend's older sister's closet for a quick gossip session than a standard store.

Quality Merchandise: The clothing items are in excellent condition, and you can find high-quality…read morebrands at reasonable prices. 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. And they're on the ball that if your stuff doesn't sell, they do email you for pickup. The ladies are fantastic .
