Following last year's sad shutterings, the Historic Core is slowly but surely rebuilding its vintage scene. Filling the kaleidoscopic void is Quirk, a new vintage boutique that opened last month.

Located by the stylish corner of Sixth and Main Streets, the shop offers affordable designer treasures curated by co-founder and LA costume designer/stylist Melynda Choothesa. Expect to find merch spanning from the '40s to modern times, like women's clothing by Givenchy and the Kooples, menswear by Rag & Bone, footwear by Bally, costume jewelry by Napier, and much more alongside new wooden sunnies by Kahoy Kollection (the space also serves as the eyewear brand's flagship store).
