The hunt is on for vintage, thrift and antique finds.

By Katie Van Luchene

KC is a hotspot for shops that offer everything from an Eames lounge chair to a 1950s cocktail dress.

Fashion gems from band T-shirts to Prada

Score a rockabilly dress, vintage caftan or rad Hawaiian shirt at Donna’s Dress Shop. For themed parties, Boomerang rents and sells go-go boots, Star Wars swag and disco suits. WyCo Vintage boasts the world’s largest selection of authentic classic band tees. Daisy Lee Vintage augments its tees and denim with artfully altered fashions, while The Trove offers a wall of pre-loved Louis Vuitton bags.

Multi-vendor markets

Get your First Friday weekends started on Thursday at Martini Corner’s Urban Mining and its three floors of vintage goodies. Down the block, Populuxe curates mid-century treasures.

Stop by West Bottoms — where weekend food trucks give a street-fair vibe — and hit must-sees, Good Ju Ju and Bella Patina. Pro-tip: bring a truck for the hutch or sofa you can’t live without.

Glenwood Antique Market, an estate sale on steroids in Overland Park, hosts 170 fashion and décor vendors. Sentimental Journey in Independence and River Market Antiques each tout collectibles from hundreds of dealers. And don’t miss 45th and State Line’s blocks of shops, including SID & Co., Christopher Filley and Modern Love.

Standout stand-alone shops
