Gotta love the Local: stylish selections of secondhand stuff and lots of it, crammed into a happy room with zines, eps and other indie publications. Some rocking' local designer and reconstructed stuff is featured, but for the same taste level and…More »

Maskarad is bigger than it looks, and stocked with girly vintage and vintage-inspired items. The jewelery counter and small section of homewares make Maskarad a good bet for gift-giving (if you are giving gifts to ladies who like vintage jewels,…More »

All local indie designers all the time! Including sexy stuff for dudes! And some carefully selected (and sometimes craftily updated) vintage in the back! The General is owned by the same supafly ladies who own Local 23 up the street - More »

Great, unique, adorable jewelery here for sure, and some wonderful clothes all individually selected by the owner, a mix of vintage and independent designers. The vintage is a little on the pricey side in my opinion, but it's certainly well chosen…More »

Super cute spacious shop in a great location right next to Sparrow (which makes for a lovely brunch and shopping outing, or a shopping and drinks outing. Or both! Big day!) Zero stress staff, cute quirky styles, looked to be mostly 80s and 90s…More »

Founderie is a find: run by a friendly low stress gal with great taste, and featuring a nice collection of prints and fashions by local designers, the biggest draw here is the designer vintage: Fendi, Yves St Laurent, Burberry, Hermes and more at…More »

The vintage collection at General 54 bust out into it's very own space next door and it's great! Lots of stock with a focus on interesting actual vintage, and very fast paced turn over of garments driven by the owner's collector love, and good taste,…More »

Wonderful bookstore for new and second hand, beautiful French collections, graphic novels, well lit and book loving space. As far as I can tell from my tunnel vision magnet walks towards it, there is just a tiny but exceptionally curated English…More »
