Where to Find Vintage in Westlake Village (and Nearby)
People assume you have to drive into LA for good vintage. The Rose Bowl, Melrose, all those shops on La Brea. And look, those are wonderful. But the Conejo Valley and the stretch of coast between here and Santa Barbara have places that are just as interesting. Better, sometimes. And you don’t have to white-knuckle it on the 101 for two hours each way.
This is my honest list. Places I actually walk into, not places I read about somewhere. Some are five minutes away, some are worth a full Saturday. All of them have something that will make you stop and pick it up and turn it over in your hands.
Close to home
The Agoura Antique Mart
28879 Agoura Rd, Agoura Hills · Whizin Market Square · Open daily
This place has grown into something really special. It started at around 3,000 square feet and now fills over 11,000, with more than 40 vendors. When you walk in, it smells like lavender. Not mothballs. That tells you something right away. There are twinkle lights and chandeliers strung overhead, and the booths are set up almost gallery-style. One reviewer said it felt like flipping through pages of Cottage Living Magazine, and honestly, that’s pretty accurate.
Inventory refreshes weekly, which means it’s never the same store twice. It’s in Whizin Market Square, so you can grab lunch outside and come back for a second pass. I go when I’m looking for something specific and want options. Last time I came home with a brass floor lamp I wasn’t looking for at all, which is sort of the point.
MIXT Fine Things
28859 W Agoura Rd, Agoura Hills
I have a soft spot for MIXT. Kim has been running it since 2006, and the space is about 4,000 square feet with around 25 pop-up vendors rotating through. Before I opened Manor & Maison, I had a booth here. It was where I started figuring out what my own style really was, testing what people responded to, learning the rhythm of buying and selling. Kim was generous with her knowledge and her space, and I left on the best of terms when it was time to do my own thing.
I still pop in regularly. It’s a warm, well-run shop with real personality, and I always want to give it the recommendation it deserves. (I’ll come back and add more detail here soon. Kim’s place is worth more than a quick summary.)
Manor & Maison at The Guesthouse
31133 Via Colinas, Suite 105, Westlake Village · Tue-Sat
This is us, so take the recommendation with a grain of salt. But I’ll say this: we don’t carry much, and that’s on purpose. Everything in the shop is something I’d put in my own home. Vintage furniture, art, objects, all of it sourced from Round Top, estate sales, and the kind of places you don’t find on a map. We share the space with Floret Floral, so the whole room smells incredible and changes every few days.
DeFrenS Luxury Home Consignment
790 Hampshire Rd, Suite B, Thousand Oaks · Mon-Sat 11-5
DeFrenS opened in 2022 and quickly became a new little gem just off Thousand Oaks Blvd. The luxury furniture and art are what you’d expect from a high-end consignment shop. What you would not expect is the gourmet section. They carry Le Beurre Bordier French butter alongside the furniture. I don’t know whose idea that was, but I respect it deeply. Every piece is authenticated, so you know what you’re getting.
They also host Vintage & Artisan Outdoor Markets with free entry, 20-plus vendors, live music, and food. Worth putting on your calendar.
Worth the drive
Summerland Antique Collective
2192 Ortega Hill Rd, Summerland · Tue-Sun, 11-5
About an hour north on the 101 and worth every minute. When you walk in, you’re literally walking on colorful antique carpets. The whole place feels almost like a museum, except warmer. More like visiting an old friend’s home. Around 30 dealers, sourcing from America, Europe, and Asia. The staff will eagerly tell you the story behind almost anything you pick up, which I love.
The quality tends to be higher than most multi-dealer spots. Plan to spend at least an hour. We usually combine it with lunch in Carpinteria or Santa Barbara and make a day of it.
The Well by BD Antiques
Summerland, CA · Open 7 days · Pets welcome
Also in Summerland, and a completely different experience. Shane Brown was inspired by a visit to Hearst Castle when he was 12 years old, and you can feel that sense of grandeur in what he’s built here. The Well is spread across multiple converted cottages. One of them was the original 1954 Summerland post office. About 90% of the inventory is displayed outdoors, which gives the whole place a feeling that goop called “very CA cool.”
It’s more of a lifestyle concept than a traditional antique shop. If you want ideas about how to live with vintage, how to mix old and new, how to make a room feel collected over decades rather than decorated in a weekend, this is a masterclass. Even if you don’t buy anything. Bring the dog. They’re welcome.
Ventura Flea Market
10 W Harbor Blvd, Ventura · Wednesdays, 7 AM - 2 PM · $2 admission
Around 2,000 shoppers come through every week, and roughly 300 vendors set up. The trick is to go early. The dealers (us included, sometimes) are there at 7. By 10 the best stuff has walked away. You’ll find everything from junk to real finds. Bill Doggett is a Rose Bowl regular who always has beautiful coffee table books. Ted Munoz sells surf art and usually has a classic longboard on display in his booth, which sets a mood.
Here’s a practical tip: Amtrak stops right at the Ventura County Fairgrounds, so you can take the train up from LA if you want to avoid driving. The market closes in August for the County Fair. The founders of Topanga Vintage Market have called this “one of our vendors’ fave picking spots,” which is a good endorsement. Bring cash, wear comfortable shoes.
Topanga Vintage Market
Pierce College, Woodland Hills · 4th Sunday of each month, 7 AM - 2 PM · $5
Patrice Curedale and Lori Rotblatt started this in April 2012. They were single moms who met at their kids’ kindergarten in Topanga, and they built something that House Beautiful named one of the coolest flea markets in the country. Around 3,000 shoppers come through each show. The market has generated over $250,000 for Pierce College, which is a detail I really admire.
When you walk in, there’s this smell of oiled wood and leather. Somebody always has a record player spinning classics. You can get pupusas from the food trucks, which are excellent. The sellers are more focused than your average flea. Lots of mid-century, California pottery, vintage clothing. It’s crowded and you’ll probably run into someone you know. About 25 minutes from Westlake Village, which makes it our most convenient monthly market.
That’s our list for now. We’ll keep updating it as we find new places and as the vintage landscape around here keeps changing. If you know somewhere we’re missing, tell us on Instagram.
