Pulpfiction Books (Commercial Dr)

Thrifting in Vancouver is all about neighbourhoods, and Main Street is the place to start. You can walk from Thrift World and Rewind Resale near Broadway down to Turnabout's largest location, then on to Still Fabulous Thrift Shop, whose sales support BC Children's & Women's Hospitals. Along the way you'll pass curated vintage at Uncommon, F as in Frank and The Storehouse. Commercial Drive is the other must-do vintage stretch. Mintage has been dressing the Drive since 2003. The Only Vintage carries rare, size-inclusive pieces, and My Sister's Closet supports Battered Women's Support Services. Head west for something different. Kitsilano has the mint-coloured SPCA Thrift Store at Broadway & Dunbar, Rummage Community Thrift, and HOB Too for vintage furniture and collectibles. Downtown, Wildlife Thrift Store fills a huge 1917 building on Granville and stays open until 8 PM. Nearby, Mine & Yours and Once More are good stops for luxury designer consignment. If you love antiques and curiosities, don't miss Space Lab on East Hastings or the Vancouver Flea Market on Terminal Avenue. Whether you're after Y2K streetwear, designer handbags or a cheap housewares haul, the best thrift stores in Vancouver reward a full day of exploring.
