Front & Company
Front & Company is always a stop on the Main Street stroll. It is a consignment clothing store that sells both used and new fashion. I think it just might be my favorite place to shop in Vancouver. the spacious store is a pleasure to browse even when they’re busy. they have a good mix of consignment and new clothing, accessories, whimsical gift wares, stationery, and house wares. Everything is well organized and not overcrowded on the racks. There’s plenty of stuff for the guys too!
With all consignment/thirft stores you have to be patient and really dig through the items, and for me that’s the best thing about shopping at a place like this. it just makes those precious one-of-a-kind, fated-to-be yours items so much more special. Happy shopping!

thanks again Andrea! i think it’s the first time someone complimented my hair =P
I am wondering what would the staff react when batty took photos inside the store.
As I know some stores prohibit photo-taking of their products. I had some bad experiences before. So now, I will ask permission before taking pictures.
Just curious…

i think patty should be able to answer this question! =P
扼…先解釋一下我照相時，人倫常理往往都拋在腦後 （平常也沒啥遵守）…
我都先觀察一下，如果店家看似會批准店內照相我就有禮貌地問店家可不可以照相。如果店家看起來會對攝影師發出追殺令，就先照再說，被捉到時再誠懇地陪不是。但原則上我絕對不准任何人觸碰我的照相機，我也不會當場把照片刪除。
不過如果是職業攝影的狀況就須要先向政府申請牌照和付店家場地費。在博物館和美術館就一定要乖乖遵守館規啦～不過我有被故宮博物院的警衛臭罵過 …（那是一場誤會：他以為我用閃光燈但那只是我相機上微弱的對焦燈）

I know this is an old post but whatever. I want to say thank you for sharing it, I have been living in Vancouver for so long without knowing about this gem. I checked it out awhile ago and it was awesome.
This store should pay you or something 😉
