Burçu is the owner of this vintage clothing store, and she is the reason why this store is so special.

But it's her character, and her friendly approach, that captivates everyone. Burçu receives donations from many people that know of her, and her preference for anything vintage and classy.

It makes the traffic to Vancouver worth it. Thank you to all the staff who were just so sweet and helpful. If you want good vintage, GO TO...

I appreciate this personâs patience, observational skills and knowledge in knowing what cuts and sizing would work. I was also so happy with how confident she made my mom feel in the pieces!
This store also has free items for youth 18 & under which I thought showed how much this person cares about their community.
I would absolutely recommend this place for their occasional pieces and everything in...
