The Oak and Fort warehouse sale, which is on now at the Vancouver Convention Centre, has drawn a massive crowd of bargain-hungry shoppers.
Items range from 60 to 70 per cent off and consist of all stock, including new and back catalogue items. People can expect to find both summer and fall/winter pieces. Tops are as low as $11 but there are also items like blazers and coats that can go as high as $60.
The sale follows the recent opening of Oak and Fort's new Vancouver flagship in Gastown and is on all weekend until Monday, Aug. 21.
However, some people have taken to social media to share their experiences and dissuade others from checking it out.
The unhappy customers say that there were long lines, damaged clothing, and not many pieces left after day one. One person
"More people than clothes," one TikTok user said.
In the videos posted to TikTok, shoppers navigate the space with clothing chaotically strewn about by overzealous people searching for deals. One person even found a coat that had an arm almost completely torn off.
On the flip side, many people are also sharing their hauls online.
Fast passes are available for purchase online ($20); they allow people to skip the regular lineup, and according to the event posting, new styles will be added to the floor daily.
There are no food or drinks allowed inside the sale and no large bags. Consider leaving the snacks and backpacks at home even if you intend to brave up to an hour in line.
