Vancouver/Seattle vintage shopping
I'm heading to Vancouver and Seattle in a few days and I was wondering if anyone knew really good vintage stores? I've been to Vancouver a few times before but never got good shopping done so I'm hoping to vintage shop and go to Holts. (Which is WAY better than the one out here) So any suggestions?

No problem! and if you need any more shopping tips, just let me know! Yeah, the Holt Renfrew in Vancouver is way better now..it used to suck big time before! They just started to carry Christian Dior (bags, shoes...).

I think the stores on Main St. are pretty reasonably priced except for Barefoot Contessa. That store tends to jack up the prices by almost 50% on the exact same merchandise or accessories you can find somewhere else. I haven't been to the stores downtown in quite awhile so I can't really remember the prices, but I know they weren't overly expensive. And as for the products, the stores constantly bring out different things so you never know, but I really like Front & Co., and I have to admit, I do shop quite a bit at Barefoot Contessa (even though not all their stuff is vintage). True Value Vintage is kind of a rip off imo, so I haven't gone there in sometime, so it might be different now, i don't know..

Heading to Seattle?

Head straight to Capital Hill/Broadway. You'll find some decent vintage shops there.

The U-district is another "hipster" hangout with a few more shops.

As a whole, we don't have much of a vintage shopping scene here, despite our elitist hipster image.

Do you know if they carry Chloe bags - Paddington or Silverado at all? Or the Bottega Venetta selections and the Fendi Spy Bag? I'm trying to get my parents to buy me or pay for half for my grad present.

Yup! I was just at Holts like last week and I saw the Bottega Venetta bags and I actually handled the Fendi Spy bag! So yeah, they do!
