The story of Bank and Vogue is one about following your passion and beliefs, creating opportunities for our suppliers and customers, and building a great family-based business.

Started in the early 90’s by Steven Bethell (Instagram: beyondbethell and Twitter: @StevenBethell and Helene Carter-Bethell in the basement of their home to help provide a service to the Salvation Army, Bank and Vogue has grown to become a unique player in the second hand goods market globally combining incredible knowledge and experience in wholesale, retail, design and manufacturing and providing creative ideas and solutions to help deal with the overwhelming amount of “stuff” that we all consume.

We work with our customers to find great quality used product and store returns for domestic and international markets. We partner with private collectors to help minimize the impact of used clothing on the environment.

🚨📢 GET REAL, TEMU! 🚨📢 At Bank & Vogue Ltd/Ltée., we stand firmly alongside Beyond Retro in their courageous stance against Temu's misleading practices in the fashion e-commerce realm. Temu's actions have muddied the waters of authenticity by passing off mass-produced, fast-fashion items as genuine vintage treasures. This deceit not only undermines the integrity of the marketplace but also perpetuates harmful environmental practices. As advocates for sustainability, we believe in transparency and authenticity in every aspect of the fashion industry. We applaud Beyond Retro's commitment to championing these values and taking a stand against deceptive advertising. It's time to hold Temu accountable for their misleading tactics and deceptive product descriptions. Together, let's demand honesty and integrity in the fashion world. Join us in supporting the campaign for authenticity and sustainability. Choose REAL vintage. Choose transparency. Choose integrity.

GET REAL, TEMU! Beyond Retro is taking action against a massive player in the fast fashion e-commerce world: Temu. Temu has been masquerading mass produced, fast-fashion products as ‘Vintage’ , polluting the online marketplace for real pre-loved items. Our commitment to sustainability is a driving force behind everything we do. And that starts with championing authenticity, transparency, and integrity in the fashion industry. Who wants to join us in holding Temu to account for these deceptive advertising plays and deceptive product descriptions. Shop REAL vintage. Steven Bethell

We are thrilled to announce that Bank and Vogue has yet again revolutionized the industry by becoming the first company to offer full containers of second-hand pet goods! Yes, you heard it right. Now, you can get your hands on high-quality pet clothing and other pet goods in bulk, right here in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The container, stationed proudly in Ottawa, is packed with 42 bales, each weighing 1000 lbs, amounting to a whopping 42,000 lbs of top-notch pet attire. Boots and shoes are paired and rubber banded, and collars are packed separately! But that’s not even the best part – the price is an absolute steal! At just $0.48 per pound, this offer is simply irresistible. So, what’s the catch? Well, there isn’t one! These pet goods have been carefully collected from the most affluent neighborhoods in North America, ensuring premium quality at unbelievable prices. Whether you run a pet store, an online pet boutique, or simply love pampering your furry friends, this is an opportunity you don’t want to miss. If you’re in the commerce industry and regularly import goods, this offer should be on the top of your radar. Such incredible deals are rare to come by, and Bank and Vogue is proud to be at the forefront of bringing them to you. As we conclude this exciting announcement, we’d like to remind our readers to always stay vigilant, especially when opportunities seem too good to be true. But in this case, rest assured, it’s as real as it gets! Before we sign off, we’d like to encourage you to take a quick glance at the calendar. Yes, you guessed it – it’s April 1st! While this news may sound too good to be true, we promise you, this is no April Fools’ joke! Actually, it might be! Though, the real joke is that consumers in North America are now overconsuming enough clothes for their PETS, that we could now begin collecting 40,000 lbs wholesale batches of used pet clothing. Perhaps a new genuine offer from Bank and Vogue, your trusted partner in the second-hand (pet) clothing industry? #FoolsDay #SecondHand #ThriftStores #BankAndVogue #PetFashion #PetStyle #FashionableFur #GlamourPets #DesignerPets https://lnkd.in/guZe_VPh

We Support Renewcell As a long-time supporter and proud supplier to Renewcell, we are extremely rocked by the recent bankruptcy news. We know the next few days will be critical for their future, and we want to express our support, admiration and hope for their return. As a supplier of post-consumer textiles, we went on a journey together diverting millions of jeans from landfills. We want to praise the hard work of the Renewcell team. We know the dedication that has gone into making Circulose. They are the pioneers in this space, leading the fashion industry to make changes in their supply chain. Proving there is a path to circularity. We hope this is a wake-up call to invest in innovation. Still, approximately 92 million metric tons of clothing find their way into landfills each year. To put this in perspective, it’s like discarding a garbage truck full of clothes every second, exacerbated by the fact that less than 1% of clothing gets recycled into new garments. Through our efforts, we divert over 1 billion garments a year from landfil but we need change-makers like Renewcell to scale this number. Take action now by purchasing their available CIRCULOSE® for production! We support Renewcell.
