![]() ![]() Merchant House Market (Lower Garden District, New Orleans) There’s not a ton of furniture here, but instead keep your eyes open for vintage decor, lighting, and art. It’s so much fun to just slowly weave in and out of the different sections, and sometimes you come across something really cool. Walking into the Magazine Antique Mall is like walking into an antique version of Forever 21, there’s piles of shit everywhere. New Orleans & Metairie Magazine Antique Mall (Garden District, New Orleans) We’re not professional vintage buyers, so this is by no means exhaustive, but we’ve found some incredible pieces at these places that we’re sure we’ll hang onto for years. Highly recommend this feeling! So below we’ve got a few of our favorite vintage & consignment stores in Southeast Louisiana. ![]() But secretly it’s such a good feeling to know that you’ve got something that’s unique and special, and even if it isn’t completely one-of-a-kind, it’s not like… something just anybody can go grab from a big box store. We get asked often on Instagram about vintage pieces in our home or wardrobe, and it’s always kind of a bummer to share that the thing in question was a secondhand find and that we don’t know where to steer the person if they’re looking for something similar. Not to mention how environmentally friendly it is to buy secondhand! Whether it’s little boutique vintage stores, cluttered thrift shops, or consignment warehouses-there’s a special feeling in finding a perfect gem, even better if it’s a good deal. One of our favorite ways to spend an afternoon is hopping around between shops, and since a lot of these spots are constantly getting in new stuff and cycling out the old, there’s always something fresh to be found. What started as a necessity (we were broke but wanted cute furniture) has turned into a full on hobby. We love buying used and second hand pieces.
