The Board of Trade

This is one of my favorite stores in Vancouver. Really great products and lovely staff.

OMG this is the cutest store with local artists and designers. I love an support local. I love the hipster cards. I make my own cards, however, I am always inspired by what other artists do for cards. Customer service was friendly and the prices were very decent.

This shop speaks of quality and well curated clothing design, down to every décor detail and product offering, but this is not why i am raving about them today. I want to remark on the excellent customer service received by the shop’s keeper. I come here often to purchase jewellery as their collection is supplied by truly unique artisans, and after buying a sentimental anniversary gift for my partner, shortly after him wearing it, it broke. Some time had passed due to my busy schedule, but upon my return to the store, i was greeted with remembrance and consideration, something that generally only a locally owned store can excel at. The item was promptly delivered to the jeweller for repair and i received it in a better reinforced condition than when purchased.
I feel so grateful for the care i received on such a valued item, and will return again and again with a knowing that Board of Trade values their customer and takes pride in their product. Now… about the exceptional clothing design ;)

Great shopping, great space, great people.
Love this little space in Chinatown. It saves me from having to wade through the expensive «this looks amazing but $ 900?!» hipster pretention in Gastown, but also from «wait, this flimsy thing is $ 80?!» mass-​produced Urban Outfitters.
What a happy compromise.
I just wish I got off work early enough to make it down on weekdays.

Simple, clean space with racks of clothing and large unfinished wood tables in the middle as center pieces.
Sourcing their items from SE Asia, the result is a unique collection of stylish clothes at reasonable prices.
Their women’s clothing reminds me of the styles at Oak & Fort. Simple and minimalistic, I like the neutrals palette and the loose fitting drapey cuts. The jewelry collection is unique, and they’re perfect pieces for everyday wear.
Definitely adding this to one of my favourite shops in Vancouver.
