April 1–11: Richer Poorer pop-up shop

SoCal-born accessories line Richer Poorer was recently acquired by the Vancouver-based Shoes.com, and it’s slowly making its way into the Canadian market beginning with a pop-up shop at 799 Burrard Street. From now until Monday (April 11), you can stop by to peruse the brand’s trendy “innerwear” pieces, starting at $10, like camo-and-striped moisture-wicking socks, hula girl–printed boxer briefs, and comfy, 100-percent organic cotton T-shirts. For the ladies, Richer and Poorer has cooked up a range of classic, knee-high, and low-rise stockings adorned with polka-dots, pineapples, paper cranes, and more. There’s even a line of graphic grip socks: perfect for tackling your yoga, barre, and Pilates classes in style. Once the shop wraps up, the space will be converted into Shoes.com’s first standalone store in Vancouver.

April 10: Nifty for Fifty

Vancouver’s annual indie blowout sale returns to Heritage Hall (3102 Main Street) this Sunday (April 10) from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. with 30 local designers peddling goods for rock-bottom prices. Like the sale’s name suggests, not a single item will be over $50, so you can make the most of that ailing Canadian dollar by bringing home a bounty of handcrafted clothing, jewellery, and housewares. Browse graphic belt buckles from Flight Path Designs, luxe Native American–inspired blankets by Elroy Apparel, and the sparkling jewellery and yogi apparel from a few of our favourite new vendors. Feeling peckish? Take five at the Tacofino and Via Tevere food trucks, which will be stationed outside all afternoon. Entry at the door is $2 and vendors will only be accepting cash.
