Procell
“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.”

L Train Vintage
“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. ”

10 ft Single by Stella Dallas
“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. ”

75 East Broadway
“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.”
