The best vintage clothing stores in Perth

Haven’t you heard? Recycled clothing is in!

Good for our wallets, better for the environment, Perth is filled with some great vintage clothing stores – here’s a few of our faves:

The Fremantle Piazza

Freo’s iconic South Terrace Piazza has transformed into Perth’s newest vintage fashion hub where a bunch of local vintage sellers have set up shop. You’ll catch serious feels browsing through the racks of Yeah Vintage, Freo De Janeiro, Nifty In Freo, Perth Surf Vintage, Vintage Lily and Mothballs Vintage. Each store brings its own vibe, offering everything from psychedelic mini dresses from the ’60s to blinged-out low-rise jeans from the early 2000s. With a great range of affordable vintage gems for women, men and kids, along with funky footwear, cool accessories and retro collectables, the piazza is a
must-visit. (Kate Taylor)

Vinnies Northbridge

Okay, technically it’s an op shop, but it makes the list for its wide and ever-changing range of vintage and retro clothing and accessories for ladies and gents. Whether you’re after something old-school for everyday wear or a killer outfit for a fancy-dress party, this store’s got you covered. Located on William Street, just across the road from Fi and Co, it’s the perfect go-to for vintage lovers on a budget. Their themed window displays are also a standout, often stopping passers-by in their tracks. (Kate Taylor)

Cinn Vintage

Y2K girlies and fashion obsessives won’t be able to get enough of Cinn Vintage. The Depop online store has been curated by Perth-based model and writer Sally Paton, who has ten years of experience working internationally for brands including Chanel, The Row, Thom Browne and more. Inspired by creating always-changing trends through a circular, sustainable fashion economy and utilising skills she’s learnt on-set in the fashion industry, Sally’s also managed to gain a coveted spot within Depop’s invitation-only verified Top Seller program.

Bluebird Vintage

This is the vintage haven of your dreams. Located in Wembley, you won’t be able to miss Bluebird Vintage, with its quirky wares spilling onto the street. Their clothing selection leans towards 50s and 60s vibes, and while it’s mainly ladies clothing in stock, they have a few standout gems for the gents. Not just clothing, Bluebird stocks an extensive range of homewares, furniture, collectibles, bric-a-brac and more. (Sally Hall)

Lucy In Disguise

Hidden away down a little walkway in Subiaco, Lucy in Disguise is a treasure trove for local vintage collectors. The store has a huge array of hand-selected clothing for men and women of almost any decade at various price points. And if you’re a commitment-phobe or have a special event coming up, they have a dedicated section for costume and event hire. (Sally Hall)

3/144 Rokeby Road, Subiaco

Tiki Queen Vintage

40s and 50s obsessives, I think you have found your match. Tiki Queen Tiff has been collecting vintage clothes and collectibles since she was a teenager and can be found popping up at various vintage markets around Perth, as well as by appointment at her Attadale “Boo-tiki” (her backyard Tiki bar). But if you’re someone who likes to browse from the comfort of their couch, her online store is unmatched in Perth – particularly if you’re looking for a party frock! (Sally Hall)

Various locations

Cool Cats Vintage

We don’t want to make anyone feel old, but Cool Cats stocks predominantly 90s vintage. As a 90s vintage myself, browsing their racks fills me with both nostalgia and a potential quarter life crisis. While they stock everything from hats, outerwear and accessories, vintage tees dominate – sports, movies, TV shows and bands, as well as labels like Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren. I didn’t think I’d ever need a Practical Magic t-shirt in my life, but now I’m not so sure. (Sally Hall)

557 Beaufort Street, Mount Lawley

Beat Happening

Freo’s Beat Happening is home to some pretty groovy vintage and recycled threads, records and collectibles. Think vintage denim, technicolour ’70s jackets, ’60s suede tasseled boots, ’50s swimsuits, as well as European ’50s eyewear. Psychedelic, man! (Sally Hall)

Tum Tum Tree Lane – 4/130 High Street, Fremantle

Cold Wave

Having just moved into their new digs down Wolf Lane, Cold Wave have made a big impression with their blend of vintage, streetwear, sneakers and consignment. Stocking a huge range of vintage tees – especially for NBA and 90s band fans – these guys will get you looking fresh. (Sally Hall)

3/321 Murray Street, Perth

Fi & Co

A long-time favourite for Perth’s vintage lovers, Fi & Co stocks a delightful mix of new and pre-loved fashion, as well as a few collectibles and homewares. Plus, they also have some local vegan soy candles and natural cold pressed soaps to really cover all the bases! From ’80s power suits to fancy frocks, Fi & Co will have you kitted out to the nines.
