[ Shops Around the Corner: Elsewhere Vintage
November 7, 2008
Welcome to a new feature on The Vintage Society! Every other Friday, I will be featuring shops around the world. They may be local shops in my neighborhood (great for any Society Girl on the West Coast), shops in other states around the country, or most often shops online (that any Society Girl can enjoy).
I want to spread the good news of great little haunts that feature vintage or vintage-inspired clothes, jewelry, handbags.. basically anything fabulous for Society Girls to make their own. Side note to any online shop owners.. contact me to be featured.
So we begin with my latest obsession of a shop, I have hinted around this one, but wanted to wait until I could give you a sneek peak into the world of Elsewhere Vintage! For those in Southern Californina, you must make this a new stop on your shopping excursions. Tucked away in Old Towne Orange, one of the prettiest little towns you’ve ever seen, you will find this hidden treasure. I have long waited for a vintage shop to pop up in my neck of the woods that oozes such flare.. and now it is here!
Elsewhere Vintage feels fresh and unique, with a boutique atmosphere. The selection you will find is top notch, anything from 1920’s through the 1980’s. There is no need to claw and pick through stacks - it is all neatly organized and displayed - and I love that it is sorted by style not era. You may even find Christian Dior or more! Oh… and the accessories are to die for.. ecspecially the purse selection.. I have my eye on at least 10 must-haves.
On a final note: Being an avid thrifter, I must say, that I know what is easy and hard to find when it comes to vintage clothing - and what you will find at Elsewhere is the hard to find - unbelievable - one of a kind peices!
Add Elsewhere Vintage to your list of places to shop..I promise.. it will be worth it. And good news, for those salivating who live outside of California, they plan to sell online as well!

That is so not fair. WHY CAN’T SYDNEY HAVE THESE KIND OF AMAZING SHOPS!
Those images are making me salivate, and makes me want to move to the US even more.

Wow - you are quick!
My friends at the VFG (vintagefashionguild.org) saw this before I did and alerted me this morning.
Thanks for such a wonderful write-up! I love the view of my store through you eyes - it shows me that my visions of Elsewhere Vintage is coming through and I’m on the right track.
Let me know the next time you’re coming in — bunch of new stuff coming in next week!

Oh I love this shop, great selection! I live a block away, going to the local university, and Old Town Orange is such a great place for vintage shopping.
