American Apparel
As an only-in-L.A. twist, a few of the local American Apparels also sell a curated selection of '70s-inspired vintage picks, as part of adjoining shops called California Select. One can be found at the Echo Park flagship, alongside an ample array of the company's bestselling leggings and long layering tees.

Confederacy
Ilaria Urbanati, who honed her taste and reputation while buying for local style-setting boutiques Satine and Milk, finally has her very own, hugely anticipated shop (she partnered with two friends, including actor Danny Masterson). There's an in-house café, plus 5,000 square feet of labels like Giulia Persanti and Boy by Band of Outsiders. We're big fans of such innovative conveniences as vintage phone-booth-style dressing rooms complete with handsets for calling in different sizes, plus a resident tailor.

Endovanera
It just started a line for women, even though girls have been snapping up pieces from its men's label since this Echo Park enterprise launched. Lots of the shapes are fitted, like blazers that look like they came from the boys' department, and others—like the hooded cardigans—are just irresistibly cool. The store, marked by an antique sign that says FRONT ST., is slick and pared down.

Lady
Camille de Soto got her start as an assistant manager at a Trina Turk boutique, where she began consigning bits of vintage jewelry. When the items flew out of the cases, she opened her own Eagle Rock place in April 2007. Her boudoir-y space has all the trappings of a fancy boutique, but a second look at its price tags reveals that nothing costs more than $150. There are horse pendants from the '60s, along with kelly green blouses by Collective Clothing and kookily patterned dresses from Plastic Island.

Lake
Wide wood-plank floors and an exposed ceiling that's lined with feed-bag-like sacks telegraph a French-farmhouse mood here. The sun-drenched front is packed with perfectly boho clothing, like Nili Lotan shirtdresses; the middle hosts a quaint apothecary; and the back room is replete with striped hand towels, oversize floor cushions, and cherry red bud vases.

Lost & Found
Now spanning five adjacent storefronts, Jamie Rosenthal's mini empire has a wide-ranging scope, from children's toys to fancy art. Lost & Found Etcetera and Lost & Found Gallery are our favorites of the lot: The former features vignettes of hot pink Repetto ballet flats, Isabel Marant tunics, and tiny silver African trading beads. The Gallery is more restrained in its palette, showcasing everything from olive wood mixing bowls to prints of foxes.

Mas
Half of this newcomer is devoted to men's lines with a slightly streetwear-esque aesthetic, a straightforwardness that carries over to the women's side. Search out the California-based names, like Mike & Chris leather jackets and Crispin & Basilio beaded navy T-shirt dresses.
