Buying kids’ clothing in Vancouver
Vancouver sits on the north bank of the river directly across from a much larger city in the neighbouring state, and a great many residents cross the bridges to work. It has no state income tax while its neighbour has no sales tax, which shapes local shopping habits.
Children’s clothing is outgrown rather than worn out, so it comes onto the local market in genuinely good condition and usually in bundles. Buying a stage at a time from someone a few streets away is far cheaper than buying it new.
What to check in person
Look at how many washes the fabric has had, judged by bobbling and faded colour rather than by the label. Check elastic at waists and cuffs still recovers, and make sure school items carry the right badge for the school you actually need.
Collecting it in Vancouver
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
The bridges are the constraint here rather than the distance, and they congest badly at peak times, so agree which side and a realistic window. Rain is frequent, so agree a covered spot.
