There are several vintage and thrift stores here that will catch your eye, whether it be for clothing, furniture, or art. We’ve chosen the absolute best ones and with this helpful list anyone can be an original.

Stuff

On the edge of the Mission District sits a colorful two story building bearing words like ‘ANTIQUES,’ ‘VINTAGE’ and ’60s, 70s, 80s!’ This spot is a vast antique shop called Stuff, which, obviously, has a ton of stuff. Customers can find practically anything they desire in this quirky store — chairs, shoes, beds, tennis rackets, and so on. If you’re looking for a truly eclectic and fun place to step back in time, look no further than Stuff!

Decades of Fashion

If you’re looking for a blast from the past, go to Decades of Fashion. With clothing that dates from the 1880s to the 1980s, not only will you find something you love, but you will be fascinated by how much there is. Known widely as an emporium of fine vintage fashion, this place has literally everything — shoes, bathing suits, lingerie, dresses (both formal and informal), pants, coats, ties, gloves, jewelry, hats, and more. Haight Street perfectly accommodates this spot’s funky and nostalgic brilliance.

Wasteland

Wasteland is the new Urban Outfitters — they are trendy, surprising, and sell a wide range of brands from miscellaneous affordable garb to high end designers like Fendi. Stepping into Wasteland is like finding a hidden gem among the rubble, and you may not know where to start. They’ve got a sprawling space with hundreds of items on endless racks all the way to their back wall, and the store even smells like fresh laundry. Wasteland is like the coolest department store you’ve ever seen, and you’ll never want to leave.

Vintage Modern

Our last pick is Vintage Modern, an antique store that sells 20th century furniture, carpets, and home decor.

The owners of Vintage Modern have been in this business since 1988 and proudly still collect valuables, and after all this time, their excellent taste is a given. You’ll definitely find something to love at Vintage Modern.
