Best LA Vintage & Thrift Shops

Stylists, collectors and bargain hunters in Los Angeles will find the vintage and resale shops worth returning to in this guide. They cluster on Melrose Avenue and La Brea Avenue, with more in Little Ethiopia on Fairfax, Highland Park on Figueroa and Burbank.

Wasteland on Melrose mixes one-off vintage with a big designer consignment section, and stylists send people there for shoes. Scout carries designer vintage from labels like Mugler, Hermès and YSL, plus furs and leather jackets. Playclothes in Burbank, a costume-designer favorite, stocks clothing from the 1930s to 1980s; look for the neon Moorpark Pharmacy sign. Golyester on La Brea is packed with beaded gowns and velvet smoking jackets. Check Scout's Instagram for new arrivals, don't skip the bargain rack outside Cannonball & Tilly, and pair The Bearded Beagle with a thrift crawl around York and Figueroa.
