Beggars Banquet #009 kicks off in just over three hours in Vancouver’s Chinatown, and we’ve got a special incentive to get everyone down to #213 East Georgia Street before things get too busy!
Our good friends from The Bottleneck will be on hand with complimentary appetizers for the first of our Beggars Banquet family that shows up, and the fantastic folks from R&B Brewing Co are sending over beers to wet your whistle and get you into the shopping spirit.
Head over to the Beggars Banquet Facebook Page and Share the Event to your own space to help us spread the word!
You may remember one of our new Beggars Banquet vendors from her time working door security at The Waldorf - Rhoda used to spend some days (and nights) ensuring we all got in and out of the party in one piece but now she’s on hand making sure we get to the party looking our best.
What we hadn’t realized, and were very excited to discover, is that Rhoda collects and reworks awesome vintage clothing as Shesnot2shabby! We love her reworked denim and vintage rock tees, and her collection of underpinnings and dresses is going to be a hit too.
Come down and say hi to Rhoda and check out her booth as she makes herself comfortable in Chinatown at Beggars Banquet #009 this Friday, April 19th.

Daughters & Sons Clothing has been sharing lookbooks online in preparation for their big spring kickoff party this weekend - and will be on hand this Friday as we return to Chinatown for Beggars Banquet #009!

Creating quality graphic design and paper goods that celebrate good design for design minded individuals, we’re thrilled to welcome Sarita Mann Design Studio back to Chinatown once again this Friday for Beggars Banquet #009!
Sarita’s beautiful work features her timeless and vintage hand-drawn illustrations paired with sustainable materials and practices. This means using 100% recycled paper and working with a printing facility that holds similar values on all scales of their operations from using alternative power to power their plants and offices, using vegetable inks and upholding a high standard recycling program. This type of production yields less units but results in a more beautiful, unique and special product.
Be sure to stop by and chat with Sarita this Friday at Beggars Banquet - she’s always interested in providing design services ranging from logo design, packaging solutions, personalized stationery, to specialty work like the children’s book she’s currently working on with a Non-Profit and the Vancouver School Board teaching young children about sustainable urban agriculture!

We are thrilled that Strathcona 1890 Seed Co will be on hand for Beggars Banquet #009 in Chinatowa next Friday, April 19th.
A small, local, family run business Strathcona 1890 Seed Co went into the seed business because they wanted to support their family doing something they could feel good about in a community they love, Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Having lived in the Downtown Eastside for over a decade the sight of money thrown at poverty, addiction and homelessness over the years without any sure fix got to be too much. Strathcona 1890 Seed Co aims to add to the programs all ready in place for people in need in this community and help develop a sense of independence, self-confidence and pride amongst the community members right down to the kids at the inner city schools - all through, you guessed it, seeds.
Not only are these seeds organic, open pollinated, heirloom, and non GMO, a portion of all profits from sales go right back into creating and implementing programs where inner city school children can plant and harvest their own “crops”.
Spring is rolling along beautifully on the west coast, and if you haven’t all ready planted a window garden in your condo or a secret organic farm in your backyard, swing by the Strathcona 1890 Seed Co table at Beggars Banquet #009 next Friday, April 19th and let them help you get started.
It’s officially springtime in Western Canada, time to clean up your act, and why not do it with an all natural product manufactured right here on the beautiful west coast of British Columbia?
We’re happy to be welcoming Jordan River Soapworks over to Vancouver from their home just outside Victoria on Vancouver Island for Beggars Banquet #009 on April 19th.
Crafting pure, natural and clean soap and cosmetics by hand in small batches, Jordan River Soapworks has built up quite a following through their online business and appearances at pop-up events like Beggars Banquet. The philosophy is simple, they put the same care into what goes on their bodies as into what goes in them. Ingredients in Jordan River Soapworks are sourced and used based on quality, origin (local whenever popular) and organic wherever possible. Every ingredient used has a beneficial purpose - no artificial ingredients are added to stabilize, preserve, colour or add fragrance. In short, these soaps do their job and the people behind Jordan River Soapworks does a great job producing them.
