Description
Located on the northern edge of the Drive, Little Miss Vintage is a whimsical time capsule curated by vintage connoisseur Cora Burnette. Since opening its doors, this narrow but magical boutique has become a neighborhood landmark for those looking to escape the waste of modern "fast fashion."
It’s a shop born from a genuine passion for the past; Cora, an inveterate collector and local indie musician, originally opened the space to share her carefully hand-picked " chaos" with a community that values character over mass production.
The shop is famously overflowing with a large and varied collection of treasures spanning the 1930s up to Y2K. Whether you are searching for mid-century rockabilly styles, mod-era silhouettes, pin-up aesthetics, or 70s disco flair, the racks at Little Miss Vintage are meticulously organized to help you find your unique look.
Beyond clothing, the store is packed with high-quality, hard-to-find accessories—from vintage pins and jewelry to shoes—that turn an outfit into a story. If they don’t have exactly what you’re looking for, they are known for taking requests and helping clients hunt down that elusive perfect piece.
More than just a retail store, Little Miss Vintage embodies the unconventional, bohemian spirit of Commercial Drive. It serves as a vital part of the "Drive" experience, encouraging residents to embrace sustainable, eco-friendly fashion by reusing high-quality garments that have stood the test of time.
In a neighborhood that fiercely supports independent, owner-run businesses, this tiny "rabbit hole" of a shop remains a testament to East Vancouver’s love for the authentic, the eccentric, and the art of the find.
