We Found the Best Vintage Shops on Etsy

Anyone who has spent hours scouring the racks of one second-hand store after another knows that vintage shopping is a major task. Finding high-quality pieces that not only look fashionable but also come in your size is quite the challenge. If you want to set out on a vintage shopping trip, be prepared to spend hours at multiple shops, with only a slight chance that you’ll find a treasure. And bring snacks, because you’ll likely be exhausted by the end of the day.

But what if we told you there was an easier way? Rather than traipsing across the city from one shop to the next, you could shop some of the best vintage online—all from the comfort of your own home. Finding sartorial treasures while vegging out on the couch in pyjamas? Sounds like a good deal to us.

Thanks to Etsy, we can now leave the hard part to online shop owners who curate and re-sell some of the best vintage items online. Better yet, each of these online shops has its own style and niche aesthetic. While it can be fun to browse through hundreds of blouses hanging on a rack, there’s no denying that it can become overwhelming very quickly.

Now, you can find a shop that fits the aesthetic you’re looking for and go from there. Spoiler alert: It’s much easier. Be warned though, your chances of finding that vintage piece of your dreams just got much better, so don’t blame us if a good portion of your pay cheque ends up going towards some great vintage pieces; it’ll be worth it when you have a killer retro wardrobe.
