Community Thrift & Vintage is a social enterprise in Gastown, the heart of the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver (DTES) selling hand picked thrift & vintage clothing in a warm & dynamic environment. Our aim is to inspire positive transformation through fashion. We accomplish this by having the best selection of hand-picked second-hand clothing at the best price, by employing women with barriers to traditional employment & giving them valuable job skills during a transitional period in their lives & then by donating all profits back into the community through key programs of the PHS Community Services Society. Opened in 2011, our founder, Jenni Nelson, recruited a talented staff that collectively has over 25 years experience in the rag trade to pick, grade & service the products we bring to you.
