4 Secondhand/Vintage Shops

in if you live in LA and don't know where to thrift, Atwater Village should very much be the next destination for you to visit. So I accidentally did a thrift crawl here a couple weeks ago. I honestly only meant to visit two shops there, but realized that there are so many secondhand vintage shops on this street. Honestly felt like an outdoor mall for just secondhand stuff, which is my dream. So I wanted to talk about some of the shops that I visited and what kind of specific things that you can find there because I do feel like even within the secondhand realm, there are different genres. I'll also share what my favorites were personally. First is Dresscue. Contrary to its name, they sell a lot more than dresses. A good mix of contemporary and vintage brands. Less mainstream brands, which I love. What's cool about this place is people can actually rent their own rack and sell their own curated collection of secondhand pieces, giving it a very cool flea market vibe. I would go here in search of quality, good quality, unique pieces. Couple blocks down is The Attic. I would say a very purely vintage shop. I feel like they have a lot of knick-knacks and it's definitely not the most curated. It literally feels like you're in an attic because there's a lot of old stuff here. So if you want to look through if you have the time. Next to it, Curatorial Department, which is quite literally the opposite of the attic, highly curated, pristine, very nice vintage or like independent brands. Like you can find secondhand doe in here. Dress galore. Everything is beautiful, but very, very high prices. More like a secondhand boutique for the very rich. Maybe you're willing to invest in. Cross the street and back down is the Lucky Pig or Velvet Threads. I went here for a literal last 15 minutes that I had and I'm glad that I did. On the more curated side, vintage, but more moderately priced. I don't remember seeing any mainstream brands here. Want a pair of vintage boots or shoes, they have a lot of cute, very well-conditioned ones here. Also furniture in the back, which is what I'd really come back here for. Such art and home wares here. Clean indie vibes. My favorites and if I only had one hour on the street to shop is Dresscue and the Lucky Pig. Which shop would you visit first? And if you know any other area in LA where I can do a thrift crawl, please let me know.
