  • Local & BC Made

    Over 75% of our stock is made in BC, across Canada, or by makers close to home.

  • Fair Trade & Ethical

    Sweatshop-free, fair trade, and overseas goods only from facilities with real pay standards.

  • Plastic Free & Refill

    Refill, reuse and reduce with shampoo bars, refillables and recycled or plastic-free picks.

  • Vinyl & Music

    Records, CDs, cassettes, turntables and speakers. Kevin will happily talk music all day.

What you'll find

A shop full of things that earn their shelf.

Four walls of clothing, plants, records and gifts — chosen by Alanna for design, colour and community, and chosen to do a little less harm.

Vinyl, CDs & Audio

New and used records, cassettes, turntables and speakers. The music side of the shop, run by Kevin.

Clothing & Accessories

Market of Stars kimonos and dusters, jewelry, hats and scarves from ethical, small-batch makers.

Plants, Home & Body

Living plants, decor, shampoo bars, solid perfumes, tarot and Pyrrha talismans. Refill and re-use, right here.

Our story

We're Kevin and Alanna.

We opened Modern Alchemy and Public Vinyl in downtown Creston in late 2020 to bring our passions to the community. For Kevin, it's the connection made while sharing a love of music. For Alanna, it's design, colour, community and nature — the keys to finding the right product mix.

We commit at least three quarters of the shop to goods that are made in BC or Canada, made ethically or fair trade, and that leave a smaller footprint: renewable, recycled, plastic-free, refillable. Some, like Heartprint Threads blankets, give back with every sale.
