Vintage is Truly Everywhere!
I should know, I buy vintage everyday for my online store
You may have to get a little dirty in the hunt
But when you find something unique its well worth it!
#1
My favorite places to hunt for vintage clothing are the local flea markets
I go from town to town attending weekend flea markets in the South-East
I like looking for vintage at flea markets mostly because of the people
You will meet the most off the wall characters at a flea market
Most of the items sold at a market are sold by the owner
So sometimes you can get a good story behind the items
Also I have been going to flea markets since I was a child
#2
Another great spot to shop for vintage clothing are church stores or thrift stores
This is the most obvious place
We all go to them around Halloween and find crazy crap from our parents hay day
But there can sometimes be some valuable items in these stores
I don't have as much luck with the clothes in these stores since most items are donation
People tend to keep rare clothes from the 20's 30's 40' and 50's
But I find great handbags, jewelry, and home goods in these places
#3
Finally, Estate Sales
These sales are conducted by a company hired by the families and loved ones
These sales are listed in the local papers
They are usually on the weekends and start super early so get there first as I always say
This estate sales are a great place to find vintage clothing due to the nature of the sale
They are more private and less picked through
Also these items are what don't make it to the thrift stores
So you can really find very early ears and special events garments
Such as wedding dresses, communion dresses and things pass down from generation to generation
Hope This Helps, Happy Hunting!
