About I Found Gallery

”Vintage jewellery findings, brass stampings, rhinestones, beads, eyeglasses, sunglasses, chain Our jewellery and jewellery findings are supplied almost exclusively by a manufacturing business from Toronto, Canada. The warehouse had been in business since the 1930s and finally closed its doors in the last decade. We purchased the warehouse in its entirety and shipped the amazing, never-been-touched assortment of findings to our gallery space on Main Street in Vancouver. At affordable prices, we offer one of the most extensive collection of authentic vintage findings in Canada. From cameos to lockets, rhinestones to metal stampings, and charms to chain; our collection ranges from the 1940s to the 1980s. Since our opening in September 2009, we have acquired many more treasures. We have authentic Roman and Byzantine artifcacts including coins and belt buckles, as well as skeleton keys and 1930s watches. We also have a cumulation of incredible vintage buttons from the 1950s to the 1970s, including bakelite and lucite buttons from the 1950s,60s and 70s. Our walls and floors are decorated with beautiful persian rugs, all of which are for sale for extremely affordable prices. The gallery operates as a multi-functioning space for all creative types, whether it be jewellery, mixed-media arts, painting, clothing, or design. Community & Charity Work: A very important aspect of our business is giving back. A percentage of all sales go to local charities as well as to donation opportunities abroad, like a distressed family following the tsunami in the Philipines. Local charities receiving donations include the Strathcona Community Center . Also we sponser www.canfil.org which is a small grassroots Canadian Charity that primarilly operates in the Phillipines working with rural poor communities with feeding programs and school supplies etc. A part of each customer's purchase contributes to any of these worthwhile causes. Sustainability: Almost all merchandise sold in the store is vintage or antique; therefore, no additional resources or materials are being utilized in its manufacturing. Each piece is recycled, reworked, and reimagined - making it inspiring and environmentally friendly. Read more
