Description

Velveteen Vintage is located at 1303 Commercial Drive, operating as an Indigenous-run retail space that specializes in curated vintage clothing, thrift items, and local art.

Founded by Métis artist and youth leader Savanna Todd, the establishment focuses on providing a diverse selection of men’s and women’s fashion, ranging from retro staples to unique contemporary finds.

By combining a commitment to sustainable second-hand retail with the promotion of local artistic works, the shop serves as a functional resource for the Grandview-Woodland community seeking environmentally conscious and culturally significant fashion.

The inventory is organized to highlight a rotating stock of high-quality garments, including graphic tees, denim, outerwear, and accessories sourced through specialized curation. The store also functions as a community-oriented space, occasionally participating in local festivals and events to showcase Indigenous craftsmanship and small business entrepreneurship.

Located at the corner of Charles Street, the store supports local residents with accessible pricing and a professional retail experience rooted in youth mentorship and cultural representation. This dedication to artistic expression and recycled fashion defines its presence on the Drive, offering a reliable destination for unique apparel and community-focused shopping.
