Old glories
Old glories Sydney puts on the ritz when it comes to vintage haute couture
Broadway Betty
This inner-city gem has style beyond its starlet inspired name. There are plenty of glitzy party frocks (and slacks) on offer, all sourced from the roaring 20s up to today. The selection of vintage footwear also gets a special mention.
259 Broadway, Glebe 2037 (02 9571 9422)
Exclusive Vintage Clothing
Classic, cheap, loved by cinephiles, run by an ex-go-go girl and closing down soon so get in fast!
383 King St, Newtown 2042 (02 9517 2283)
Grandma Takes A Trip
Grandma is the pearl in the flapper headdress. Racks of stunning hand-selected garments - Fifth Avenue jackets or a mod-styled kickers.
263 Crown St, Surry Hills (also on Gould Street, Bondi). (02 9130 6262)
The Frock Exchange
These vintage vanguarders offer pre-loved designer garb - no gawdy frocks, instead second-hand pieces by Jill Sander, Marni and Dries Van Noten.

An elegant ode to yesteryear, VCS specialises in near-mint Dior, Gucci and Hermes, from the 20s right through to the swinging 70s.
