This place is SUPER CUTE. I've walked past here about 15 times and never actually popped my head in until now.
They have a great selection of necklaces, ranging from about $16-$30 which is pretty average for main street. They have a good bucket of keys for the same price as most places $7 a key(for those into the hipster key fetish). They had a nice little selection of sunglasses, shirts and clothing but what blew my mind was all the jewelry supplies!
So many necklaces and charms, beads and everything you could possibly want in a jewelry shop. I was running late so I didn't do much more than have a quick look around but I will be back, that's for sure. -

I was in Vancouver for 6 days for a wedding and I went to this shop 2 TIMES! I loved this place. Cool clothes, glass frames, jewelery, beads, shoes etc. The people working here are so cool and soooo extremely friendly! A must see in Vancouver!

A beautiful variety of literally everything bead-pendant-charm-chain-stone-like that you ever thought you needed! Make sure you are not in a rush as their selection is very extensive. Service is mediocre and prices aren't cheap, but a good place to find that perfect finishing touch on whatever you're crafting.

I'm a jewelry designer and I usually purchase my supplies in the US because, well, I'm from the US. I've been searching far and wide for a good supply source for a while now and I found i-found (heh) through their Etsy store.
This place has it all-- friendly service, cute dogs, and reasonably priced supplies. Not only that, but you'll find stuff here that you will NOT find anywhere else. This place is a wonderland. I can spend hours upon hours there. However, I'm going to keep my visits there to a time minimum so I don't creep out the employees.
Did I mention that they're really nice and really helpful too? No? Well, they are.
Their prices (as I said) are VERY reasonable-- and they're especially great if you make stuff in small quantities and you don't trust yourself to use up a bulk amount of supplies. I was specifically looking for a fine gold filled chain. They had the same chain I wanted to buy from a different jewelry supply store for about 1/3 of the price.
I didn't have a chance to look at their other stuff (clothes, accessories, etc) because I was completely dumbstruck by their jewelry supply section. So, until next time! -

I think I had a dream about this place . My Mom was a hands on, make it yourself kind of Mom - made all our clothes, clothes for our dolls, things for around the house etc. As a young girl I spent a lot of time sewing and crafting and visiting fabric supply stores. Places with giant, colourful selections of buttons, jewels, beads and the like were just the thing that little girl dreams were made of. Big, grown-up girl dreams too!!! What an amazing selection they have here.
Previous reviewers mentioned strong scent. I didn't notice anything so perhaps they have stopped using it. I'm very prone to react to scent, so it is something I am aware of and I did take a few good breaths as we entered to make sure it was somewhere I wanted to stay. I think Yelp should add a button or rating as part of reviews to allow Yelpers to rate how scented an establishment is. Anyway... lovely, enjoyable visit to a great little store.Listed in: Mainly Main

i-found Gallery is the new occupant of the space vacated by my beloved Mihrab Gallery. And while it's no Mihrab, it's pretty cool in and of its own right.
The bulk of the merchandise (according to their website) is stock from an old Toronto warehouse that shut down a few years ago. There are vintage pendants, lockets, bracelets, cameos. There's a tray of pocket watches, and an assortment of vintage buttons (look out Button Button!). They also stock clothing made by Zachary's Smile, which repurposes vintage fabrics into new outfits.
I really liked the feel of the store, the merchandise seems lovely, and the prices are reasonable. My only complaint from my first visit was that they were burning incense. Please, I Found Gallery people, if you read this. Don't burn incense. Yuck.Listed in: Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.

I absolutely ADORE this store. The staff are so helpful and cheery, and will help you find anything you are looking for.
You can pick and choose from many single pieces and then have them put it together for you just the way you want it for completely customized jewelery. Or if you know how to do it yourself, this place will be your new playground. The prices are astounding, and you can get anything from brooches, pendants, vintage dainty watches, big old stop watches, skeleton keys, many different kinds of chains for necklaces, whatever you want.
And a lot of their pieces they have hand made themselves by melting down old jewelery, which is great. The only downside as Jessie J pointed out, is the annoyingly intense incense they fill the store with. -

Great little shop, if you can stand the manager. I tried to exchange without a receipt, hoping she would remember me from the 48 hours that went by from when i purchased it. No avail, which is fine and i was hoping to just buy a piece of jewelry instead. So after basically tearing a strip off me for losing the receipt, she told me off and dissapeared to the back room. Standing there confused, i asked if she would come sell me some jewelry and her reply was " knock yourself out". I have never in my life met a more bitter and moronic aussie.I called her a bitch and walked out. The best part is that i told shop owners down the street and they laughed, said they have heard about that womans shitty attitude several different times. I and everyone i know will never shop there again. There is a delightful bead store down the block with better prices and more beautiful selection.
