Sundance Thrift | Tustin

The find that hooked us…

A Free People matching set hanging right by the entrance - $10 for the top, $10 for the bottom. Both pieces in perfect condition and color-coordinated on those nice wooden hangers they use. That first impression set the tone for everything else. Then we spotted vintage Grateful Dead tees, some really good designer jeans, a vintage leather jacket, and honestly the Hawaiian shirt selection was better than expected. The place used to be a little house, so there's this whole room dedicated to kids stuff that feels cozy. Plus they had these small potted plants near the register that we didn't expect but ended up grabbing.

Best hunt for…

Vintage pieces that don't break the bank. People find a lot of Free People, Ralph Lauren, band tees, and quality denim here without the crazy markup you see at other spots. Also really good for home decor if that's your thing - they've got art, books, and random treasures mixed in. And if you have kids, the dedicated children's room has toys, games, and clothes that are priced way more fairly than most places.

Your kind of spot if…

You want that curated thrift experience without feeling overwhelmed. Everything's organized by color and hung on real wooden hangers, so it feels more like a boutique than a chaotic mess. You appreciate when a shop actually has AC and doesn't feel stuffy. You're into sustainable shopping but still want trendy stuff. You like supporting local family businesses that genuinely care about the community instead of just chasing profit. And honestly, if you just want reasonable prices - they're not trying to charge boutique prices for donated clothes.
