Random and Co has been part of Squamish’s retail scene since 2009, building its business around what its own site calls locally sourced, handpicked, and one of a kind clothing, shoes, and accessories, a description that sets it apart from a typical secondhand shop right from the start. Rather than accepting anything and everything that comes through the door, the store operates as a curated consignment boutique, meaning items are selected for quality and character before they ever reach the sales floor, so shoppers browsing the racks are working through a filtered, considered mix rather than an unsorted bin of donations.
That model has earned the shop recognition within its own community, with Random and Co having been named Best Consignment and Womens Clothing Store in Squamish, a distinction that speaks to how the business has positioned itself among local shoppers over more than a decade of operation. Squamish itself sits between Vancouver and Whistler along the Sea to Sky corridor, a town that has grown steadily as an outdoor recreation hub for climbers, mountain bikers, and hikers drawn to the Stawamus Chief and the surrounding mountains, and a curated consignment shop fits naturally into that kind of community, offering both practical, well-made clothing for an active population and unique finds for anyone looking to stand out rather than shop exclusively at chain retailers.
Consignment as a model gives Random and Co a second identity beyond straightforward retail: alongside shopping the floor, the business also works directly with individuals looking to sell their own clothing, shoes, and accessories, taking in pieces on consignment and giving sellers a share of the proceeds once an item moves. That two-sided structure, buying interesting pieces in while also selling curated finds out, is part of what allows a shop like this to keep its inventory fresh and one of a kind rather than settling into a static, repetitive selection the way many secondhand stores eventually do. For sellers, it offers a way to pass along quality pieces they no longer wear rather than simply donating or discarding them, and for buyers, it means a rotating supply of items that were chosen specifically because someone thought they were worth a second life.
The shop also offers appointment booking, giving customers a way to arrange a visit around a specific need, whether thats dropping off a consignment lot, working with staff on a particular style question, or simply making sure theres time to browse without rushing. That kind of flexibility suits a boutique operation more than a big-box retail schedule, and its consistent with a business that has built its reputation on a personal, curated approach to clothing and accessories rather than volume sales.
For anyone in the Sea to Sky corridor looking for well-chosen secondhand and consignment clothing rather than mass-produced fast fashion, Random and Co remains one of Squamishs longest-running answers, a locally recognized consignment boutique that has spent more than a decade handpicking clothing, shoes, and accessories worth a second life.
