Vintage Vantage

MARCH 24TH, 2010Vintage VantageWas it dumb luck that we scored a vintage Balmain dress for $12? Somewhat, but we also stepped into the right consignment shop.
With winter pieces priced to clear and spring stock about to be put out (like Ferragamo slingbacks and Prada sandals), it’s prime haute-hunting season. Act II Boutique, 2599 W. 16th Ave., Vancouver, 604-733-5515, open Tuesday-Saturday. |

and Kitsilano label lovers supply the store with lots of mature brands
like St. Johns and Lida Baday, but there are gems for the younger set
too. Like a tweed and leather-trim Michael Kors suit ($24), patent
ombré Stuart Weitzman wedges ($38), chunky Chloé cardigan ($48)—all
nearly new—and our Balmain bargain (pictured).
