We span the four corners of the Valley to find the best in old-school threads.
Phoenix
Ewie
That bell-sleeve blouse may have been the star of some 1960s teen’s closet, but it gets a new lease on life at Ewie –where retro-centric fashion mavens make decades-old clothes look new again. From Y2K micro-mini-skirts to ’70s Penny Lane coats, Ewie will show you that vintage doesn’t mean worn-out – just one of a kind. 3630 E. Indian School Rd., Phoenix, @ewiedotcom
West Valley
Ivory House
Feel as fresh as an In Living Color Fly Girl with a score of jammin’ vintage threads from this Goodyear storefront (open Tuesday-Sunday). Or catch some speed at the shop’s indoor roller-skating shopping event in Downtown Phoenix, Rollin’ Retro Market, which occurs every First Friday. Don’t want to make the trek into the city? Check out its West Valley event, The Valley Flea, hosted in Avondale at the end of each month. 650 N. Estrella Pkwy., Goodyear, 602-527-7402 shopivoryhouse.com
East Valley
Old Habits Vintage
Inspired by the street style and skateboarding culture of the ’80s, ’90s and early 2000s, this compact storefront is the holy grail for hard-to-find retro goodies from brands like Element, Carhartt and New Deal, plus old-school Phoenix Suns merch, band tees and other nostalgic swag. 1661 S. Val Vista Dr., Gilbert, @oldhabits.az
