Haight Ashbury vintage stores

Of all the cities I’ve been to, San Francisco has the best, and most affordable, vintage clothing. The Haight Ashbury district is a four block vintage paradise. Each block offers at least two used clothing stores ranging from bargain to high end vintage. The Goodwill on Haight has a swell selection, but it is pricier than any other donation thrift store in the city. If you are willing to weave your way through hordes of gawking tourists who move at a snail’s pace, it’s worth the walk from Ashbury down towards Golden Gate Park. The best way to shop the Haight is to start by bagging up your old clothes and selling them for trade or cash at Crossroads or Buffalo Exchange. If you have nice vintage that is just taking up space in your closet, try selling it at La Rosa or Decades of Fashion, sellers beware! The buyers at Decades can be cruel and you must name your price before they will make an offer, so start high!
