On a street that is home to more than its fair share of vintage clothing shops, Wasteland still manages to stand out for its decor, selection and service. Not only is it huge, but everything is well-organized so it’s easy to find what you’re looking for. (The best of the best is hung up on the walls, so you’ll have to ask for help if you’re interested in any of those gems.)
Dyed hair, tattoos and piercings are not requirements for shopping here. And if you think a store like this, on a street like this, only carries leopard-print skirts and glittery go-go boots, you would be mistaken. Sure, you can probably find those items here on any given day. But you can also find a girly Betsey Johnson dress for an upcoming wedding, a fitted vintage leather blazer, or a pair of gently worn Fluevogs. There’s something in every era, in every style.
As with most vintage stores, the selection at Wasteland changes all the time. So if they don’t have any cowboy boots in your size today, you can always try again tomorrow.
