The City of Angels is filled with secondhand, thrift, consignment, and more—though our curated list makes it a bit easier for those with an exact vision in mind. Whether you’re on the hunt for something literally worn by one of the city’s brightest stars (it’s possible!) or want a relic of eras bygone, the best vintage stores in Los Angeles can make all of your sartorial dreams come true.

Brynn Jones’s Los Feliz shop is filled with pieces seen on ’90s catwalks and vintage Ellen von Unwerth shoots—very fitting since the founder is a former model. Almost every single look in the shop was seen on the runway—and was likely worn by Naomi Campbell. Recently, the top-tier designer finds (think Mugler, Dolce & Gabbana, and Prada) have been worn by Kendall Jenner, Zendaya, and Ariana Grande both on the red carpet and in their everyday lives.

Created by Laura Laubach, Saturn Bridal (the wedding-focused arm of Transplant Vintage) specializes in dressing people for their special day. Whether you want something white (or any of the many iterations of the shade), that specific Vera Wang dress from your favorite childhood film, or just have a vintage icon in mind, there are oodles of ensembles from mini to gown to choose from.
Address: 1933 Echo Park Avenue, Los Angeles
Founded by the collective that created the fantastic roaming market A Current Affair, Arcade is a brick-and-mortar store with a rotating selection of the same vendors. The wares are pulled from across the country, so you’ll find Palm Springs acid-bright caftans next to ’40s avant-garde handbags. And if the biannual sale or shop isn’t accessible, the online shop is updated regularly too.
Address: 777 South Alameda Street, Suite 174, Los Angeles
