Top 5 Consignment Shops In Vancouver

If you're looking to revamp your wardrobe but are a little low on cash, consider shopping at a consignment shop in Vancouver. These shops sell gently worn, preloved items that are chic and friendly on the wallet. Depending on the shop, you may pick up designer threads, cute accessories or one-of-a-kind vintage finds.

Don't know where to start? Here is my list of Top 5 consignment shops in Vancouver.

1. Front & Company

Located in the up-and-coming SoMa (South Main) area, Front & Company is a large consignment shop that sells both new and preloved clothing and accessories. Some may say the shop's inventory caters to the hipsters of the area, but I think there's something for everyone at Front & Company -- both girls and guys. There's plenty to trawl through, so take your time and you may find that hidden gem at a bargain price.

Front & Company is located at 3772 Main St.

2. deLuxe Junk Co.

deLuxe Junk is your go-to consignment shop if you're all about vintage. This quirky shop in Gastown has a huge selection of vintage clothing from all kinds of decades. If you're looking for a cool 50s frock or an 80s get-up, deLuxe Junk is the place to go. Don't worry if you're not into vintage; this shop also does modern looks.

deLuxe Junk is located at 310 W. Cordova St.

3. My Sister's Closet

My Sister's Closet is more like a charity thrift shop than a consignment shop. However, you'll still find stylish and affordable threads at this cute boutique. Keep your eye out for the designer items at bargain prices -- they'll be sure to be gone quick. My Sister's Closet donates its proceeds to the Battered Women's Support Services, so shop there and you'll be supporting a good cause.

My Sister's Closet is located at 1092 Seymour St.

4. Turnabout Clothing

Turnabout has three locations in Greater Vancouver and focuses on high-end clothing. The clothing selection speaks to the upscale neighbourhoods that the Turnabout consignment shops are located in. If you're into designer labels like Prada, Gucci and Missoni, head to the South Granville location. If you're into more budget-friendly high-end brands like Bebe, Banana Republic and BCBG, check out the West Broadway location.

Turnabout is located at 3109 Granville St. and 3112 W. Broadway. Its third location is in the Peninsula Village Mall in South Surrey.

5. Changes

Changes is a family-run consignment shop in Vancouver that caters to the university crowds and west end shoppers. The boutique setting makes you feel like you're shopping in a high-end shop and all the preloved clothes are in top condition. Changes also sells new jewelry by Canadian designers, so it's a great place to pick up something unique and local.

Changes is located at 4454 W. 10th Ave.
