After a fantastic brunch at The Templeton today, I went for a browse through the Wildlife Rescue Thrift Store – and man oh man, do they have some wicked deals there. It had been quite a while since my last visit, and I forgot how cheap their prices are. Here’s what I got for just a bit of pocket change…
Felted jacket – incredible workmanship – and skinny brown waist belt:
Anne Klein blouse and white linen waist belt:
And for the pièce de résistance….a pink funnel-neck rain poncho, which also reminds me of an oversized mens shirt:
FYI there was a “For Lease” sign above the Wildlife store a while ago and I nearly panicked because I thought they’d be closing their doors, but the super cool gentleman at the till informed me that they’ve signed a 3 year lease with the new owners and will be sticking around for at least a while longer. Phew.
Love the first Jacket….Great stuff you found:)
The pink poncho is great. Anybody know any other good thrift stores for vintage designers?
Most of the Vancouver shops are pretty picked over it seems – that or they are way expensive. Know where is good? The Value Village in Richmond – I cleaned up last time I visited! Or try visiting the popular Vancouver thrift stores during the week rather than on the weekend.
Turnabout on Granville is also good for designer consignment – a bit expensive though.
