LA Thrift Shops Los Angeles
Treasure Hunting
Thrift shopping is like treasure hunting. You never know what you're going to find! There's beauty in recycling and magic in breathing fresh life into old things.
I like to find silver, skirts, scarves, jewelry, books, baskets, and old board games. My son likes to find toys. I once got a snowboard for $10. The cool thing is that there’s something for everyone.
The best neighborhoods to thrift in LA are Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, and Santa Monica. There are exceptional shops in the hood-rich parts of LA too! Here's My List of the Best "Thrift Shops" in LA:
Bell Thrift
SOS Thrift
LA Road Thrift
Magnolia Park Thrift District
Assisted League - Thrift Alley in Glendale
Thrift Dynasties (Multiple Shops in LA): Goodwill, Assisted League, The Council Sh0p. “Thrift dynasties” are businesses with multiple shops throughout LA. My favorite is Thrift Alley in Glendale. It's open Wednesday - Saturday 10 am - 2 pm and freshly circuits items.
