The Patch

Tried finding this place today and looked like the building was empty. I guess they must have moved or are permanently closed.

Disappointing
We were really hoping it was older more vintage clothing
Mostly 70's and 80's
We were looking more 50's
So if your looking for "mid" this is your place
Smells like old clothes
Not the prettiest smell
However they do s good job of displaying items

Great selection, awesome brands. A must-visit if you like vintage clothing for a reasonable price

There is so much to look at and go through! I got a couple of really great pieces. You need a good chunk of time to go through everything, so be prepared. It didn't seam to be organized in any sort of way, but I believe they decently moved. The back end is mens, denim, and tons of amazing well worn tshirts. There is some modern clothing mixed in with the vintage. And tons of vintage Hawaiian Button ups!!

To be completely honest this store is quite overrated. Thrifted clothes with the prices marked way too high, it wasn't worth it for me. However I might have just gone on a bad day, but I couldn't find anything I liked through the piles and piles of clothes. If you have time to pick through loads of clothes, then you might have better luck then I did finding something wearable.

Really great stuff but unjustly overpriced. Taking advantage of the hipster lifestyle here in the city. Second hand shopping is supposed to help the environment and reduce our impact but these people are cheating people. $70 bucks for mom jeans from the 80s. Unfair and uncool.

The Patch is a must-stop for any discerning vintage lover while in Victoria. Well laid out, well thought out, and very reasonably priced, this recently expanded store on Yates carries everything from ironic 80s hair band tees, to luxurious sequined tops and gowns, to prairie linen dresses, to the perfect summer tank.

There's a little something for everyone here -- I've seen men and women of all demographics perusing The Patch's wares, each leaving with something completely different. The beauty of this place is that it's not just the standard vintage clothing store, with cheesy 60s swing dresses or rockabilly skirts, or old lady tops and high heel shoes. It is instead that it really does run the gamut for quality vintage and used goods.

But hands off their colourful Peruvian textiles -- those babies are mine.

My favorite vintage store I've been to so far! Since it is a vintage store, not a thrift/consignment store, the prices are a little higher, but still reasonable. So so so much clothing, it literally seems endless. They even have a sort of secret lower level and while visiting they had a pop-up store two stores down bc they have so much content. Sterling silver rings at a reasonable price as well!!
SO MANY LEVI SHORTS ($$ ranges 30-40 which is not bad for Levi's)

Absolutely massive store with great finds!!! You could spend hours in here! Sunglasses, accessories, tons of clothes. They even have a nifty , super vintage section downstairs. My last experience was buying ugly Christmas sweaters for a photo shoot with my husband. They even steamed them for us before we left - great customer service!

Loved the variety and the pure funky vibe. They had so many different things it would take two trips just to really see everything they had. If your looking for gentle uses clothing and more of a retro vibe this is the place for sure. Will be a frequent shopper for sure.
