One of the first to ever do independent brand discovery in the way that’s now become more ubiquitous, Fred Segal still manages to curate an incredibly high-quality and unique but still super wearable array of brands from around the world. Some really good stuff and if you’re in LA shopping the stores is a great experience!

Recommending for two reasons: the Los Feliz location has a pretty great vintage dress selection, the Highland Park location seems to be selling all of famed actor/comedian Jordan Firstman’s wardrobe right now? Not sure why but that’s cool I think
P.S. I tried on a pair of his sunglasses and they were so small I almost got a concussion

floating world, galya fae, ariel kellogg ~ all independent designers w unique offerings. i also like wolf circus for more basic jewelry, esp bc i wear silver and they have a lot of that. generally though if you’re looking for unique pieces, i’d check out etsy, as well as independent retailers in big cities. in chicago, i love everything store, ik nyc has cafe forgot, retail pharmacy, lucky jewel, and certainly a bunch more im not familiar with. also love apocene and apoc store. picture of floating world’s spira necklace which i covet
