North Vancouver’s thriving Mid-Lonsdale District is set to welcome a fresh addition to its retail scene: Arrival Vintage, a new destination for curated, sustainable fashion located at 111 E 12th Street, just steps from Lonsdale Avenue. This first-class vintage boutique offers a hand-selected range of unique clothing, accessories, and rare finds, catering to the modern tastes of the North Shore’s vibrant community.
Arrival Vintage is the latest endeavor from Riaz Khan, co-founder of Granville Flea Market, Shawn Avantini of Avantini Shop, and fashion stylist James Cabrera. Together, they bring years of expertise and a shared passion for sustainable fashion to this exciting new concept. With its tagline “modern vintage curated by today’s culture,” Arrival Vintage combines the nostalgia of vintage with the relevance of contemporary style, offering an ever-changing selection of high-quality thrift items for all ages.
“This shop is more than just a place to buy clothes,” explains Avantini. “Arrival Vintage is a space where sustainable fashion becomes a lifestyle, offering our community a chance to find unique pieces, participate in a circular economy, and experience the thrill of discovering one-of-a-kind finds.”
