Timebomb warehouse sale

We are doing our big once a year ‘everything must go’ warehouse sale. Yup, there always seems to be so much stuff left over after the seasons that we just can’t unload to shops due to 1) not full size runs 2) one of a kind pieces 3) samples 4) overstocks etc.

If you want amazing deals or even want to get the jump on Christmas shopping, this is where you will get some serious value for your buck. Brands are HERE out of respect to our great retail shops, we left it off the flyer. As I said this is a once a year sale that we do and if you want the brand new flavor we urge you to support one of our many dealers.

Starts Nov.7-9. Then we add more stuff for Nov.11-13. Then we just blow the rest out for Nov.14-16.

We also rented our old Timebomb location to save you from leaving the hood (near the Strathcona area in Vancouver).

Each book is introduced by a prominent artist, writer or curator. Artists included: Kenneth Cappello * Allan Macintyre * Jason Nocito * Robin Schwartz * Jaimie Warren

Tim Barber, 29, grew up in Amherst Massachusetts, lived for a few years in the mountains of Northern Vermont, went to school in Vancouver B.C. and now lives in New York City. A photographer, curator, publisher and designer, Barber runs the online gallery tinyvices.com, where visitors are encouraged to submit their photographs and artwork.
