Young’n Thrifty operates as both a physical consignment storefront in North Vancouver and an online shop, built entirely around preloved childrens clothing, footwear, toys, and gear. The business runs on a consignment model tailored specifically to families cycling through sizes: parents book appointments to bring in gently used kids items, the shop curates and resells what it accepts, and sellers receive a share once their pieces find new homes. Because children outgrow clothes and gear so quickly, often in a matter of months, that turnover creates a steady, high quality supply of barely worn pieces that would otherwise sit unused in a closet or bin.
The curated racks are organized by size and age range for both boys and girls, spanning everything from infant basics to clothing for older kids, along with designer labels, shoes, and accessories mixed in among the everyday finds. Alongside the secondhand selection, Young’n Thrifty also carries select new items, including pieces from the childrens brand Little and Lively, giving shoppers the option to pair budget friendly preloved basics with a few new additions in the same visit. That combination of new and consigned inventory under one roof is part of what distinguishes it from a straightforward thrift store, since every secondhand item has already been screened for quality and condition before it reaches the floor or the website.
Beyond retail, the business has built relationships with several charitable partners, including The Harvest Project, The Good Stuff Connection, and the LUMP Foundation, positioning itself as a business with a community minded, sustainability focused identity rather than a purely transactional resale shop. That charitable tie in reflects a broader mission around keeping usable childrens goods circulating rather than discarded, an especially relevant goal given how much clothing and gear gets replaced during the early years of a childs growth.
North Vancouver families looking to save money on the constant churn of kids clothing and equipment, from snowsuits to strollers to shoes, have a local option that combines the convenience of a real storefront with online shopping and delivery for those who cannot make it in person. The consignment appointment system also gives local parents a straightforward way to turn outgrown items into store credit or cash rather than letting them pile up at home, making the relationship between buyers and sellers a genuinely two way one.
For parents across the North Shore weighing the cost of dressing and equipping a growing child, Young’n Thrifty offers a practical answer: a North Vancouver consignment shop and online store built specifically around preloved kids clothing, toys, and gear, curated by size and age, and backed by charitable partnerships that keep the business rooted in its community. It is, in short, the North Shores dedicated resource for buying and selling quality secondhand childrens items without the premium price tag of new retail.
