Wasteland, an iconic vintage clothing store, has been a staple in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles fashion scene since its inception in 1986. Starting with a 1200 sq ft storefront in Berkeley, the company has expanded over the years, opening locations in Haight Street (1989), Melrose (1993), Studio City (2003), and most recently, Highland Park (2022). Renowned for its meticulously curated collection of high-end designer pieces, Wasteland has become a destination for fashion enthusiasts, stylists, and celebrities alike. Customers praise the store's clean, organized layout, great music, and fashionable employees who provide exceptional customer service, particularly Vernon. While some items may be priced higher due to their designer origins, shoppers can often find incredible deals on these luxury brands, with one customer scoring a Prada skirt for a third of the price compared to Europe. The store also buys and sells used clothing, accessories, and shoes, offering a seamless and pleasant experience for both buyers and sellers. Wasteland's expansion to the East Side of Los Angeles has been well-received, with customers appreciating the convenient location and the store's commitment to maintaining its high standards of curation and customer service. With its rich history, exceptional fashion finds, and welcoming atmosphere, Wasteland continues to solidify its reputation as a must-visit destination for vintage and designer enthusiasts.
I love this shop! It is my go-to when I need to find something for a special occasion.
I see people knocking it in the reviews because of the prices, but this is not goodwill. The stuff they stock is REALLY high quality at very reasonable prices. My friend bought a Fendi dress for $100 ??

The prices are actually pretty reasonable considering this is the hipster capital of LA. Big recommend.
