Brynn Jones’s Los Feliz store is filled with pieces from ’90s fashion shows and throwback photos of Ellen von Unwerth — fitting, since the founder was a model. Nearly every look in the store has been seen on the catwalk—and was probably worn by Naomi Campbell. Recently, Kendall Jenner, Zendaya, and Ariana Grande have been wearing pieces from top designers (such as Mugler, Dolce & Gabbana, and Prada) on the red carpet and in everyday life.

Saturn Bridal, the wedding-focused division of Transplant Vintage, was founded by Laura Laubach to design clothing for people’s special days. Whether you want white (or any of the many shades), a Vera Wang dress from your favorite childhood movie, or just want a vintage icon, there are tons of outfits to choose from, from miniskirts to gowns.
Address: 1933 Echo Park Avenue, Los Angeles
Founded by the collective who created the fantastic roaming marketplace A Current Affair, Arcade is a bricks-and-mortar store that rotates from the same suppliers. The items come from all over the country, so you’ll find Palm Springs acid-shiny robes next to edgy ’40s handbags. The online store is also updated regularly if there are bi-annual promotions or the store is inaccessible.
Address: 777 South Alameda Street, Suite 174, Los Angeles
