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!

They didn't leave it to security like Value Village does. It was impressive to see. They just need more mirrors.

But something piqued my interest when I heard of Community Thrift and Vintage. I knew this one would be different then the rest. Man was I right. One part social enterprise, one part thrift store, all parts awesome, this pretty little boutique is retail-with-a-conscious to the highest order. A firm believer that the "thrift" in "thrift store" should be observed, I was beyond relieved to walk into an unpretentious, well-curated, and cheap(!!) vintage shop. Adhering to my "no uglies" policy, this not-for-profit opts for natural fibres when choosing their wares, and has a strict no polyester rule (thankthelawd). With its reclaimed wood and exposed brick walls, its well-curated wares, and its social advocacy and support of the DTES, Community Thrift could easily upsell cool to the masses. But they don't. And I love them so much more for it.

The selection was very hip & trendy, even though they label themselves as vintage. The abundance selection of scarves were impressive. I scored an authentic Coach wool scarf for $14 (Canadian dollars). It was in immaculate condition. I almost walked away with another scarf, but I had to control myself. I think if you're looking for a good selection of gently used unique scarves, this is the place to check out.

Completely donations-based, the shop is nicely curated and features a great selection of affordable clothing, both lower-end and designer. I've found everything from Mango and Forever 21 to trendy labels such as Keepsake, Vince, and Moschino. They also carry housewares, shoes, and accessories. Last time I was in, I found an awesome cut crystal glass for only $5! What a steal. The girl working also told me about how all profits from the shop go towards the Vancouver Chinatown Foundation and its revitalization efforts in the neighbourhood. Super cool initiative. They use Square processing systems so cash and credit only. I'll be back soon!

However, after considerable research, including encountering, for example, exorbitant "cleaning fees" and other unfriendly contract terms at other stores, my search confirmed what I had really known all along: Dragon & Phoenix is a warm and friendly place full of warm and friendly people - people who want your side of the consignment relationship to be as rewarding as theirs. This store is a class act and a Kerrisdale gem.

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.

The store has a really cool vibe, excellent layout, $10 sift-through bins (holla!) and James is the friendliest dude and will actually shop WITH you (and if you like British accents as much as I do, you'll just never leave) and as another plus, it doesn't smell like mouldy armpit like most other second-hand stores. Do yourself a favour and go visit James, I promise you're in for a lovely time! :)
