Get thrifty: Our 7 favourite vintage clothing stores in Vancouver
Fashion trends often come and go as fast as the weather changes.
Of course, you want to keep up as much as you can but it can get expensive if you’re in and out of high street stores all of the time.
That’s where vintage shopping comes in and Vancouver is home to a selection of amazing stores where you can find one-of-a-kind pieces from different eras to complement your style. Vintage shopping also allows you to be part of the sustainable clothing movement while supporting local businesses.
We’ve teamed up with Chevrolet Spark (the ultimate city car) to showcase our seven favourite vintage stores in Vancouver that need to be on your radar.
