Nikki helped me with an order via email and went above and beyond. Thank you, Colour Market. You guys rock. Rosa MD2025-03-09 What a cute store in Kerrisdale. The space is much bigger than I expected. They have art class at the back of the store. They sell many things such as home goods, stationeries and gifts. Every item is very unique. I love they have arts on the wall. Also, there's arcade in there. Will visit again!

Jacqueline Gilchrist2025-02-01 If you're looking for that perfect, unique gift or a standout piece to elevate your home decor, the Colour Market in Vancouver is an absolute must-visit! Whether you're into minimalist chic, boho vibes, or vibrant, eclectic designs, you'll find something that fits seamlessly into your home. I’ve discovered so many treasures here that have become staples in my home. One of my favorites is their selection of crates – they have the perfect mix of practicality and style. My daughters and I each have our own, and we use them to store everything from stationery and to-do items to stickers and markers. It’s a simple yet stylish way to keep things organized! They also fold down for easy storage. And I absolutely love their chili dried mangos – sweet, tangy, and just the right amount of heat. If you ask my daughters, their mermaid tattoos are what they loved most. We have bought a lot of temporary tattoos over the years and these ones are special - sparkly, fun and just too cute.
