10 of Our Favorite Online Vintage Stores

APRIL 15, 2016 @ 10:00 AM
BY: PRIYA RAO
We love the thrill of the chase, especially when it comes to one-of-a-kind, hard-to-find vintage pieces. But sometimes, we don’t want to leave the comfort of our own home or city to go thrifting. Don't worry, you can still score those desirable wares (and do some serious damage) with just a click of a button. From limited Chanel bags and jewelry to a Jacques Fath beaded halter dress and jacket, find the best of the best in vintage at the online shops, below.
Archive Vintage – Founded in 2006, Austin-based Archive Vintage specializes in designer pieces from the '60s to the '90s, from the likes of Azzedine Alaïa, Chloé, and Yves Saint Laurent. Some pieces have never been worn, and if they are, they are in perfect or near-perfect condition. The minimal site is super easy to navigate, too.

Heading to South by Southwest? Shop the 6 Best Stores in Austin

MARCH 11, 2016 @ 2:30 PM

Not to worry, once the awards frenzy culminates in the Oscars and Fashion Month comes to a close in Paris, the fun keeps right on going with festival season. Aw, yeah. But before all the It girls rock their flower crowns, overly cut-off denim cut-offs, and white lace dresses atCoachella in April, South by Southwest kicks off the music-filled extravaganza in Austin, Texas. The interactive and film portions start on March 11 — with a keynote by President Obama — and the musical performances begins on March 15 with a diverse roster of artists, ranging from country legend Loretta Lynn to indie Brits Bloc Party to Japanese arena rockers [Alexandros].

Clearly, Austin is the place to be this week, not just for all the tech-y and entertainment culture you'll soak up at SXSW (or "South by," as they like to say), but also for all the excellent shopping Austin has to offer. From the hipster-cool South Congress (or "SoCo") strip to tony specialty shops on North Lamar—forget your SXSW panels or waiting in line at Franklin BBQ, play hooky and hit these six stores, instead.

Kind of like that speakeasy that's hidden below a hipster coffee shop or a permanent pop-up, Archive offers immaculate designer vintage pieces in the back of the contemporary (and also very good) Co-Star boutique in SoCo. The owner, Kerry Bonnell, specializes in pieces from the '60s to '90s from brag-worthy labels, includingChanel, Dior, Thierry Mugler, Yves Saint Laurent, andAzzedine Alaïa. Considering Archive also happened to carry the exact circa '92 Versace leopard print jacket(with matching pants!) that Cookie wore for an eventful day at the Lyon Dynasty offices on Empire, who knows what treasures you'll find on the racks.

Archive, 1708 S. Congress Ave, archivevintage.com; follow Archive on Instagram @archivevintage.

 Online Shops To Score Vintage — From Retro T-Shirts to Chanel

There’s something magical about shopping in your favorite vintage store — inspecting the racks hopefully for fresh, fabulous pieces from eras past, tenaciously foraging through the stock to root out the perfect, envy-inducing, one-of-a-kind gem. But, it takes time and commitment to physically leave the house and venture into a store, and besides, not all of us can cab on over to the best vintage hunting grounds in New York, Austin, or Portland in a snap. Thankfully, the top vintage purveyors from around the country have graced the Internet with their astutely edited treasure troves, so we can go on a virtual retail expedition — and in our pajamas, no less. To save yourself a Google search, you can check out our top nine picks to shop vintage online — from beat-up Levi’s and cheap '70s disco dresses to the holy grail of ultra-luxe Chanel handbags.

This Austin-based shop and site specializes in perfect or near-perfect-condition designer womenswear and accessories from the '60s to the '90s. Think: Azzedine Alaïa, Christian Dior, Thierry Mugler, and, yes, Chanel. If you’re #blessed, you might even come across some pristine dead-stock (never-worn pieces). The site also features curated collections, currently Japanese (lots of conceptual Comme des Garçons and Issey Miyake pleats) and dedicated YSL and Jean Paul Gaultier mini-e-boutiques. The site design is sleek and easy to browse, plus, each product description features a pop-up size guide and full-length and detail photos, including one of the label. (P.S.: Returns accepted for store credit or exchange only, less shipping costs.)

Kelly Wearstler -  Interior Designer

For more than a decade, the exuberant, brightly colored and unapologetically luxe work of Wearstler has garnered the designer such high-profile clients as Cameron Diaz and Gwen Stefani, countless editorial features and a storefront on 1stdibs. This week, she launches a limited-edition collection with artist Shantell Martin, in which Martin uses her trademark black-and-white line drawings to transform Wearstler-designed items, ranging from a lambskin leather jacket to a Calcutta marble sculpture. Wearstler’s ever-expanding design empire continues to grow, with new lighting, bedding, fabric, dinnerware and rug collections planned for the coming months along with a never-ending slate of interiors projects, including four hotel commissions on the horizon for 2015. For a closer look at Kelly Wearstler x Shantell Martin, check out an exclusive conversation with both talents in Introspective.

Here is a Dallas city guide by Amber, who lives there and welcomed me like a princess… We’ll talk more about her soon !
I had a great time in Dallas – the people and the food are amazing, and the lifestyle is so sweet, I am not surprised a lot of really cool people chose to stay there.
Thanks for having me Dallas !

 

This was my first time in Dallas, how would you describe it to someone who has never been?
Dallas has great shopping, food and drinks. The people are surprisingly fashionable and right now there is a major movement towards supporting the arts. (Within the last few years, we built the Winspear Opera House, the Perot Science Museum, the Dallas Contemporary, the AT&T Performing Arts Center and the Wyly Theatre- to name a few.) The weather is incredibly warm year-round, and you will need a car to get around the city. Everyone in Dallas is polite and wants to be your friend.

What is your favorite boutique?
VOD is my absolute favorite boutique. Jackie and her team always have the best new labels before any other store even knows they exist. They see clothing and accessories like pieces of art– just like me.

Where do you find your vintage?
I have found some of my favorite pieces at Archive Vintage. They recently packed up and moved to Austin, TX, but their stock is online so everyone can shop the store.

Your favorite museum?
The new Perot Science Museum designed by Thom Mayne is not yet open, but the building itself is one of my favorite landmarks in Dallas. I dream of hosting an event at the space once it opens.
