The beauty of Chairish is that no matter where in the U.S. you live, vintage gems are never more than a click away. But, as vintage devotees ourselves, we totally get the thrill of the IRL hunt. To find out the best hunting grounds from coast to coast, we asked a handful of top tastemakers from around the country to share their favorite off-line flea markets and vintage haunts.
New York, NY
“I go to the last remaining outdoor flea market in Chelsea, on 25th Street between 6th Avenue and Broadway.” —Nick Olsen
“The 10th floor gallery at the New York Design Center.” —Courtney Coleman, Brockschmidt & Coleman
“Housing Works!” —Cece Barfield
Brimfield, MA
“I was introduced to Brimfield over a decade ago. It’s just an amazing assembly that you can’t find in this part of the country, otherwise. There’s a lot to see and a lot of great value.”—Patrick Mele
Pittsburgh, PA
“Garden Style Living has the best treasures!”—Leanne Ford
Charlotte, NC
“My favorites are Slate Interiors and The Sleepy Poet.” —Barrie Benson
Raleigh, NC
“One place I will make time to visit is Cheshire Cat Gallery located in a dark basement space in Cameron Village. They do not have an online presence but you are guaranteed endless finds in their stylistically varied vendor booths. And don’t miss Antiques Emporium, chock full of sterling silver and fine china, located a floor above.”—MA Allen

“The Alameda Flea Market, or going down to the Pasadena Rose Bowl (I grew up in L.A., so this was the first flea market that I used to go to).”—Grant Gibson
