Though this year-old McAllen boutique isn't located in the most retail-friendly surroundings (a traffic-clogged business highway), the raw beauty of the space—formerly an auto-parts plant—has an industrial charm that perfectly matches the clothing, from Siwy shorts and Voom sundresses.

Texas' temperate Gulf Coast has long drawn surfers, and the premier place to pick up the best gear is Benjamin's, which has been the local go-to spot for more than 30 years. Ideally positioned near the highway to hang-ten mecca Padre Island, the space has an undeniably retro feel, with giant murals and an old-school marquee out front.

Despite its isolation, this vintage showplace has persevered—and prospered (it just celebrated its 23rd anniversary). The shop, situated in an old Masonic Lodge, draws collectors on the hunt for well-preserved clothing and costume jewelry, much of it from private estates.
