On Mainland Street in Yaletown, there is a little shop that is displaying the perfect gift for that special person in your life. Welcome to Fine Finds. For nine years, owners Jane McFadden and Megan Maxwell have been supplying Vancouverites with a fabulous one stop shop. Here you'll find everything from clothing to accessories to little knick-knacks and you are guaranteed to find a gift for any woman or child.
Fine Finds opened in 2000 in the then not-so-popular area of Yaletown. What attracted them to the area was the space size and availability at a less expensive price. Flash forward to now and they have one of the biggest stores on the street! As you walk in, you will see cool cards on the side with must have items on tables in the front. It's like walking into a dream store with everything that you could imagine wanting. Jane and Megan are always on the hunt for new and exciting items to place in their store.
Fine Finds has a great selection of children's clothing and gifts for the new little person in your life including the adorable red patent Mary Jane shoes for the up and coming fashionista and cool hard-to-find toys for the little guy. The children's section in the back carries stylish clothing, cool boots, and toys that will make you nostalgic. It might find yourself wishing you had clothes and toys like this when you were young. As for the adults, they support many local clothing designers including lily + jae, Kersh & The Penniless Fashionista. Jane & Megan also carry hard to find labels such as Australia's Metalicus & Runaway Pony.
Everything in their store is unique. Fine Finds carries approximately 20 jewellery designers such as Papaya Blue and Dotted Loop (one of their best sellers) from the Vancouver area. The jewellery selection is vast and unique with a wide price range which means that you can pick a gorgeous necklace or bracelet that suits your wallet. Another great plus to the boutique is their large variety of handbags! There are so many choices it is hard to pick just one. They are also known for their accessories selection including Thug Fairy feather headbands and über fabulous cocktail rings. Let's not forget that the store's fabulous gift selection. Whether you want to get a cool greeting card that your cousin will remember or the beautiful scented candle for Mom, Fine Finds has the perfect gift for any one on your list.
