LA is a resale paradise—designers, set decorators, and very-online apartment tinkerers all hunt here. If you want real materials (walnut, linen, patinated brass) and real value, you buy second-hand. Below are the essential spots—plus three you asked us to add: Modern Resale, Rebound Furniture & Decor Consignment, and Vintage LA Furniture. Every listing includes address, hours, website, Instagram, and pricing. And when parking on Fairfax feels illegal? You can find that designer & second-hand treasure in LA on Kashew instead—where on-demand local delivery is handled seamlessly through our Lugg integration at checkout.
Shopping in person and found that marble coffee table at Melrose Trading Post or a teak credenza at Amsterdam Modern, but your car taps out at “carry-on only”? Book Lugg the moment you pay. Their on-demand crews handle pickup, blanket-wrap, stairs, and placement—often within the hour—so you can shop fearlessly across LA’s used and designer scene without renting a truck or bribing friends. Keep hunting while Lugg turns great finds into same-day upgrades—no stress, no rental, just your new favorite piece at home fast.
Start here. Get vetted West Elm sectionals, RH dining, DWR lighting—priced sensibly, protected, delivered. It’s how locals skip weekend traffic and still score brag-worthy finds.
High-end consignment with serious names (Cassina, B&B Italia, Knoll). The showroom is clean, edited, and frankly addictive—luxury without the ego.
A Valley staple mixing contemporary, vintage, and occasional designer scores (yes, RH and Roche Bobois pop up). Organized, friendly, and fairly priced—perfect for outfitting a whole place.
Designers love this one for statement pieces (think Milo Baughman chrome, French cane, and sculptural lighting). It’s appointment-only for a reason: inventory is one-of-a-kind and moves.
Equal parts gallery and treasure hunt, Design MIX Furniture (aka Design MIX Gallery) lines La Brea with handpicked antiques, reclaimed-wood pieces, carved stone planters, and custom lighting that reads more “sculpture” than “store-bought.” Expect turnover, scale, and serious patina—catnip for designers and set decorators.
A riot of color and mid-century-inspired silhouettes. Great for sofas, case goods, and punchy accents that photograph beautifully (yes, your landlord will see them on IG).
Real-deal European mid-century: schoolhouse chairs, teak credenzas, rare lighting. A must for quality, not knockoffs.
Curated vintage with staging/rental services and a gallery vibe. Expect sculptural sofas and collector-grade case goods.
Italian, Brazilian, Scandinavian—properly restored and priced for longevity. If quality matters, this is your church.
LA institution (since 1931). Miles of antiques, Danish modern, and quality second-hand. Bring water and time.
One of the country’s biggest names in architectural salvage. Think marble mantels, industrial lighting, reclaimed wood, and hotel-grade mirrors with real patina. Great for a dramatic anchor piece that makes the room.
A sprawling vintage warehouse with 40+ dealers under one roof. Mid-century staples, rustic industrial, art, rugs, and outdoor finds—easy to spend an afternoon and furnish an entire place.
Love the look, want your size or fabric? The Hunt builds mid-century-inspired sofas, credenzas, tables, and storage to spec—clean lines with a made-for-you fit.
High-end, wood-forward modern with custom cabinetry and casegoods. Perfect for a statement credenza or a cohesive built-in project. West Coast Modern LA blends precision craftsmanship with a California modern sensibility—sleek, warm, and made to last.
Every Sunday: 260+ vendors with furniture, art, textiles, and plants. Arrive early; bring measurements and cash.
The monthly pilgrimage. 2,500+ vendors across furniture, textiles, art. You’ll find everything from Crate & Barrel to obscure 70s Italian. Go early, hydrate, wear real shoes.
A stealth move for rentals, studios, and outdoor: sturdy furniture, cabinets, lighting, hardware—at “real life” prices. Purchases fund local housing programs.
Giant community-minded thrift with fast turnover. Beds, dressers, sofas, art—set decorators shop here constantly.
LA’s coolest homes mix vintage soul with contemporary lines. Start with one statement—maybe a legit walnut credenza or sculptural lounge chair—and build from there. When your style evolves (it will), consign on Kashew and keep the circular magic going. Or skip the traffic entirely and shop the latest LA drops from brands you actually love.
