Athens

A beautiful centre for a walk, running and even picnic. There are sometimes events and free concerts! Worth a visit

The best Chinese restaurant in Athens. Bit far from the centre but worth the visit

Good and cheap burgers in Central. The best food after a night out

Fave outlet ever ✌🏻 I found amazing deadstock pieces for 1-2€

Vintage store at Eksarxia. You can find treasures sometimes ✌🏻

Thrift store in the Centre, you need to search well for clothes but you will find at least one piece that u like x

V qt boutique, everything from Athenian Designers

I visited this place two months ago and it was incredible! There's a library with rare fashion books/magazines and art books and it's decorated with furry WALLS and the whole floor is pink!

Good vibes, and you can chill- have a drink on the street outside the bar

Best ice cream and fab decoration! You should visit

You should try the red curry chicken with cherry tomatoes. One of my fave restaurants in Athens

Stockholm 

Mine and my girl's favorite spot. Great food and atmosphere. The chevre with truffle honey is the bomb!

There are some really good ramen spots in Stockholm and you could go into long debates about which one is the best. My favorite is called Totemo, a small place with few seats. There is always a line outside, so be ready for that.

Been sitting in a studio right next door, so swinging by for a beer after a session isn't half bad.

I used to go here every weekend when I was younger. A good supply of old instruments, cameras etc. And for a good cause, the money goes towards social sustainability.

Stockholm-based brand, always on top with their collections. This is a ”side project” they've been doing.

Carl Milles' old home, where he did most if his art. Dreaming to have a garden like that someday. It's nice to just walk around and get inspired.

Spent most of my summers here as a child. Calm and beautiful, a great escape from the city. Just jump on boat in the city and go island hopping.

Los Angeles 

Healthy coffee shop in the heart of Leimert Park - the best place in Los Angeles to be.

A little outside of the norm beach scope, but popular as its cleaner than Santa Monica.

Healthy vegan and non-vegan eats in South LA. Also, West Indian food and general fare.

Brunch on a Sunday with LEGENDARY DAMON - the perfect COVID compliant rooftop brunch. Gorgeous scenery, great music - good private vibe.

SHABBAAAA - the best monthly reggae party in LA. Period.

Best day to go is on a Saturday morning 8-12pm. There are ALL kinds of fresh flowers at wholesale prices. Sort of an LA ritual when you get an apartment or house here; you buy your fresh flowers from the flower market.

Monthly HUGE vintage and new artisan market, in “Pasadena”; sort of a village Los Angeles to me.

New York City 

Even if everybody knows about Procell, for me it's the ultimate cultural hub in terms of vintage. I’ve been going to this shop for a long long time now and it always feel so inspiring. Prices range is between $80 and more but every piece is extremely well selected, full of history and in the best condition. Its like going to a museum.

I actually just discovered this one, it’s a few blocks away from our place and it's my new favourite one to stop in every week. The selection is awesome, it specialises more in Vintage tee shirts, work wear, hats, designer sunglasses. You can always get away with a piece and prices are so good for vintage in NYC. Definitely one that I recommend so much!

A classic stop for any New Yorker and specially Brooklyn based people, but this one in Bushwick is has a particularly good selection, mainly focusing on designer, new designer and real vintage pieces. Beacon's Closet is a buy, sell, trade place with amazing prices, if you come early enough, you can dig through all the gold. Its really one of the places that Im so excited to visit for a shopping day!

L Train in Bushwick houses lots of vintage spots and is a must go but my favourite one is this one, at the corner of Urban Jungle. The selection is based on real vintage, tee shirts, americana, work wear, army, some modern pieces as old vintage become rare. I always find some of my best army pieces or graphic tee shirts here. 


This one is like a museum, people will think I’m just picking a classic vintage store but I prefer to acknowledge the quality of what’s in it. Diving more into Americana for Stella Dallas, their selection is like travelling back in time. I’m always excited to touch real fabric - heavy cotton, linen, wool, denim, leather, real work wear. Vintage is about history and that's what I like about this spot. 

For your more Y2K dreams and needs, run to this dead mall in Chinatown. My favourite area in Manhattan and the trip to 75 EAST BROADWAY is always amazing. After the pandemic, this location saw some amazing brands and vintage seller coming back to it, it's definitely a magical place in NYC. From designers to more Y2K picks, you can spend hours going through every shop. This would be my number two stop...after Procell.

The Best Vintage Clothing Stores in NYC, Chosen by Miley Serious 

Elena Kosharny

They have several locations all across NYC, but my favourites are in Grammercy, Upper Westside, Park Slope. This place curates each store differently and they have a high standard with what they sell - they're also flexible on price points. Plus, all proceeds from shopping go to The Aids Foundation. Expect home, high end fashion, unique designs and vintage jewellery

People in NYC tend to rotate their wardrobes regularly, this spot focuses on what's in style now so they buy their second hand stock accordingly. You can find cool stuff from just a few seasons ago

The two locations in Williamsburg and at Flat Iron are my favourite. Similar to Crossroads, they do tend to overprice their stuff sometimes and they don't buy as easily as Crossroads, but you can get some good stuff. Particularly menswear, shoes and accessories and denim

SA is super cheap. There's a ton of vintage here for amazing prices. They don't pay attention to brands when they price it so if you're down to rummage you can find some really cool shit. Be warned you will need time to browse as there's little to no organization and there's a lot of crap in there. Fun NY fact, most of my celebrity sightings have happened in Salvation Army

They have a great selection of pure vintage stuff that is just beautiful. Dresses and suits from the 70s and 80s, real high fashion plus a great selection of vintage jewellery. Higher price but reasonable when you consider what you're buying

Massive store with a lot of everything. Leather jackets, outerwear, shoes - this is for your pure Brooklyn vintage experience

Antique and vintage furniture, art, anything from old photographs to door knobs. You can negotiate on price

Undefeated has all the latest sneaker drops, but they might have a sneaker raffle or brand installation at their second space across the street whenever you decide to visit.

2nd Street is a new store on the block, it’s got a lot of dope finds, like a higher end thrift store. Be ready to dig for some gold.

At Bait you’ll be overwhelmed by the amount of collectibles they have. definitely a store you have to visit if you want to find sneakers, clothing, or a collectible for your living space at home.

Round Two be ready to feel the mixture of ambiance between vintage appreciation and hype/streetwear/sneaker culture

At 424 expect to have your money right before coming in. Higher end store with dope high end street wear and designer pieces

Tamia Mathis

You’ll find all of your hypebeast needs here. If you missed a Supreme drop, they most likely have what you’re looking for at a slIghtly marked up price from the original one. Obviously rarer items in the store are going to be a little bit of $$$ but they have sooooo much stuff and really cool vintage sportswear collectibles of sorts too!

American Rag is also on La Brea, down the street from Union. They have a really good selection of clothes and shoes here. Designer, streetwear, and vintage. If you come here, save room for food! Cafe Midi is attached to American Rag and has a lot of really good food

Union! An LA shopping staple. It's a menswear boutique with some of my favorite streetwear and high end brands like; Comme des Garçons, Noon Goons, and AWAKE. It’s also on La Brea, which is a great shopping area in town! If you visit Union I recommend popping into Stussy next door, and Undefeated across the street

If you’re in LA on the second Sunday of the month I definitely suggest waking up a bit early to take a trip out to this flea market in Pasadena. Some of the best vintage dealers in LA that are usually private set up shop here once a month. It’s always fun bargaining too

Another really good vintage shop in the East Hollywood area that specializes in sportswear, streetwear, and my favorite, denim!!

Squaresville is a vintage shop in the Los Feliz area! The prices are super reasonable and they have a good selection of vintage designer items too! 🤫

I work here! Mohawk is a beautiful women’s wear shop in Silverlake. We carry brands like Dries Van Noten, Acne Studios, and Pleats Please. If you have any interest in fashion or beautiful objects I suggest coming by the shop! There’s also a few good coffee shops and restaurants near our store

LCD is a super cute higher-end womenswear/streetwear shop in the DTLA shopping center called The Row. It's behind the old American Apparel factory. Pro tip: go on a Sunday afternoon! They have this event called smorgasbord and there’s a bunch of yummy food vendors! + shopping

Casablanca

A secondhand furniture market where you can find all types of vintage furnitures, crockery and pieces of art from the last decades. I bought most of my home furniture and decorations from here and I wish I can afford some more vintage designer ones.

A typical Casablanca apartment thrift store in one of the most beautiful boulevards of the city. I love to get my jeans and jersey football t-shirts from them. Visits are by appointments via their Instagram (@wethrifting).

One of the oldest and historical bars of city. A great place to meet the locals and start the night listening to the jukebox hits selection, from northern Africa tunes to international ones.

The place to party like a local in a unique atmosphere in the heart of the city. Dance all night long to iconic Arab and Rai songs, to Cher and Britney Spears hits. Never go early.

Favorite Italian restaurant in the city, great atmosphere and clientele. Perfect for a date night or a friends catchup over a colourful meal. Start with a spritz, then go for a pizza à la crème de courgette or la parmigiana. Un délice.

Not really into lavish spots in Casablanca but I can admit this is one of the best ocean views in Casablanca. Go at sunset and enjoy a bottle of rosé and their tapas selection.

Amsterdam

Great English style pub, good food and you can smoke inside in the restaurant which is a rarity in Amsterdam.

"Amsterdam’s best coffeeshop, great weed, many varieties, excellent service & central location. Just don’t expect to sit inside, it gets super busy"

Very cool store, run by SMIB, Bonne Suits & TNO, 3 of the best brands in Amsterdam, youth run, with a real community feel - you will probably run into one of Amsterdams hottest musicians in here.

"Some of the best Thai food I ever had. Quite a small place but has a real authentic feel"

"Great music venue, seen many a sick show here"

"Great flea market in Amsterdam-Noord, get the (free) ferry over to this spot on the weekend for a day of bargain shopping"

"Amazing Suriname restaurant, probably the best in the city. Suriname food is a cross between Caribbean & Chinese food, delicious!"

"Really cool gallery set in a large mansion. Saw a really great Banksy & Dali exhibition here over many levels of the house"

Amsterdam with Ryan Hawaii

Everyone is welcome to see the shirts I make and I will be there to assist you.

I have known the owners George and Jason for a few years now. Those two talented and kind guys are there to assist you in case you wanna buy something local. They are mainly focused on skate culture clothing , but not only! I personally love their hats. Go and have a look!

Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful stores in Athens. Ifigenia, Vasilis and Chara are there to show you rare plants as well as ceramics from greek artisans. Do not miss it!

Not in the area but a bit further is the studio of this amazing project/brand. Book your visit and check their greek herbs and teas. Do not forget to take away Dittany from Crete, a great treat for the cold days..

One of the oldest and definately best vintage stores in the city. Pay a visit and spend your time digging into vintage jeans and rare findings.
