Vintage

Organized by Era, or focused on a certain period

Beach Blvd

2nd Street Stanton

the second OC outpost of 2nd street, opened 2022. same japanese buy-sell-trade format as the camp location, different inventory because beach blvd pulls a different crowd. open 11-8 every day.

River Street Marketplace

Old 44 Vintage

americana done right. levi's, carhartt, pendleton, harley tees, and vintage band shirts you won't find at every flip shop in OC. the owners knock on doors and trade with locals for pieces from the 90s and earlier.

South Coast Hwy

Cherry Moon

laguna beach vintage with character. shirts, records, books, jewelry, local art, the kind of clutter that looks intentional because it is. small enough that you'll talk to whoever's working.

Downtown Fullerton

Retropolis

martin ramirez ran the original super thrift in la habra for 30 years before opening retropolis in downtown fullerton. one-of-one pieces, sustainable focus, nothing duplicated. the owner remembers what you bought last time.

Downtown Fullerton

Buffalo Exchange — Fullerton

downtown fullerton's buy-sell-trade staple. same formula as the costa mesa location but with more cal state fullerton energy in the inventory. open 7 days, no appointment to sell.

Downtown HB / 5th St

1 Look Vintage

downtown huntington beach vintage clothing plus a 10,000+ record store under one roof. one-of-one rotating inventory, owner who knows punk and hip hop both. you walk in for a tee and leave with a record or three.

Gothard St

Inretrospect

multi-vendor mid-century furniture, decor, art, vinyl, books, and clothing under one roof. think the curated end of estate-sale energy. organized like a vintage market and easy to lose two hours in. closed mondays.

Old Towne Orange

Joyride Vintage

menswear 1920s to 1980s on the orange circle since 2010. sister shop to elsewhere next door. western snap-fronts, 3-piece suits, military boots, leather goods, pocketknives, vintage hats worth driving in for. owners know every piece.

Old Towne Orange

Elsewhere Vintage

family-run, three generations deep on the orange circle since 2008. wearable rare vintage from the 1900s through y2k. bakelite jewelry, hats, and handbags that commit you to a new aesthetic. staff actually helps you find something.

The Lab Anti-Mall

Buffalo Exchange — Costa Mesa

classic buy-sell-trade chain inside the lab anti-mall, walking distance from 2nd street at the camp. current trends, designer, vintage. mileage varies by what staff is buying that day, but the location alone makes it a stop.

DTSA

Mod Hepburn

small curated women's vintage on 3rd street in dtsa. fair pricing, friendly staff who know what they have, and a tight selection instead of racks for days. the good kind of small.

DTSA / 4th Street

GCS Clothing

streetwear, hip hop, and graffiti culture since 1995. an actual og of dtsa retail, run by people who built the scene before scene was a marketing word. doubles as an art gallery on first saturday art walks.

DTSA / 4th Street

Nothing Usual

part skate shop, part record store, part zine library, part gallery. on 4th street since 2016, run by people who actually skate and care. you come in for a deck and leave with a book about graphic design and a tee that fits perfectly.

DTSA / 4th Street

Stanicky's Vintage & Co

20+ vintage dealers from across socal under one roof on 4th street in dtsa. the format means inventory shifts constantly because every dealer has their own corner with their own taste. closer to flea market energy than a single-owner shop.

The Camp
