I'll be in Vancouver for a few days in mid-Jan. Are these stores still around and/or have new ones opened that anyone could recommend?
I don't know which ones on Main are still open but if you walk Main between Broadway and King Edward there are alot of vintage stoers that you can just pop in and out of. I don'tknwo the names of them because I just walk into whichever one interests me. Euegene Choo is also on Main St a nd they sell alot of APC and other brands like that....
USED vintage on Granville St is quite good. It's upstairs across from Urban Outfitters. Look out for the sign on the street so that you don't miss the door.
Mintage in gastown closed down but they have a new location on W 4th between Burrard and Arbutus.
