Shopping for clothing can be like finding a needle in a haystack: even when you think you've found what you're looking for, it is actually just a really shiny piece of hay. Today's Groupon tilts the odds of a successful fashion quest in your favour: for $25, you get $50 worth of designer wares at Boutique Vasanji.

Since its inception 23 years ago, the Yaletown boutique has been supplying stylish urbanites with a collection of fashionable clothing and accessories from a global cast of designers. Today, the store stocks an eclectic selection of men’s and women’s wares, accessories, and plumbing supplies from the likes of Denmark’s nümph, Italy’s Replay, and Toronto’s Bustle. Peruse the selection of dresses ($70–$120), tops ($50–$100), and men’s and women’s jeans ($70–$200) to find the most alluring first-date costume, or rummage through the accessories ($20–$100) to find a glittering adornment for your neck or rear-view mirror.

An updated wardrobe can not only make you look and feel better, it can also give you an edge-up on job interviews and remind you during bouts of amnesia that it’s not 1996 anymore.

This Groupon may not be used in conjunction with sale prices or other discounts—items will be rung up at their regular retail rate.

Reviews

TravelMuse digs Boutique Vasanji, as does Vancouver-based style blog My Vancouver Style. Four Yelpers give it a 4.5-star average:

• It wouldn't be wrong, if this shop is coined a sort of an importer. This place is good for an experience where you have to choose among the best. – TravelMuse
• If you’re looking for unique, colorful apparel that few others will have than Vasanji needs to be on your shopping list. – Mia, My Vancouver Style
• I am always surprised at how long it can take for particular designs to reach our shores but Vasanji is certainly helping the cause, along with some VERY pretty French designs as well. Fab! – Mercedes G., Yelp
