Trashe Vintage — Local services in Lake Worth Beach

I haven't been to downtown Lake Worth in almost a year. More than just the name has changed. I lost a Starbucks, but fell into Stitches and Rust. I could say the real commodity here is ample, FREE parking in downtown Lake Worth Beach, but step inside. Vintage is one thing. Affordable vintage is quite another, especially in south Florida. I walked out of there with a pristine, 1970s leather pouf ($25) that looks straight out of Morocco, a handmade stained glass mirror ($15) a ceramic bunny for my container garden ($5) and some sundry small stuff like real vintage iron-on patches for my denim. But, if you're looking for vintage clothes on a shoestring, get your face out of Etsy and head to Stitches and Rust. You'll pay a lot less for old concert T's, double breasted, bright plaid coats with satiny linings, crushed velvet purple jackets, and all the Orlon, Nylon, and Ban-Lon you can stand at prices you will not believe. I think she's plucked things like hand towels, small ceramics, GE clock radios and some really dynamite metal fans from all over the globe. If you can think it, Heidi's probably found it. Records & vintage turntables? Yes. Custom made clothing sewn right there in the back? Yep. Beatle buttons and real Guns N Roses ephemera? Gypsy rags and bags? Check. I'm running long here, and you get the picture, if you're a vintage hound like me. Come once a week.

I can't speak for anyone else, but my last name is Martinez, and I was greeted with a toothy smile and a homemade lemon cupcake, garnished with a real, live Daisy - the ONLY thing that wasn't old. Stitches and...

Incredible vintage shop with something for everyone! I knew I was in for a good visit when I saw the hearse and giant skeleton out front. Plus they have an adorably sweet shop cat?! Perfection!!

This shop is an absolute dream of vintage, funky, occult, handmade, kitsch, punk, and so much more. From shirts to vintage jackets, baby doll heads, loose plastic skeleton arms, funky jewelry, and fishnet gloves, this shop has an incredible selection of counter culture must haves.

The employees are SO friendly and the shop’s layout is incredibly inviting. It’s a destination or everything deliciously weird. There’s a free small lot just behind the building or street parking in the neighborhood just behind the shop. Be sure to say hello to the resident cat Rusty when you visit the store!

Can’t wait to visit again. It’s incredible...

I had been all over town looking for a replica of the black leather jacket with the tiger on the back that the legendary Sly Stallone wore in Rocky 2. The reason I wanted this was for a costume party that my crazy Uncle was throwing. Anyway, I heard about this place from my neighbor who found a pair of “Bell Bottom” pants for the same party my Uncle was having. My neighbor was going to be Greg Brady and his wife would be the mom from the show Carol was it? It was as if the owner of the shop Heidi was a certified expert on these things and she made everything so easy. She didn’t have the jacket but she knew someone who did and took care of everything. I will be back for sure as my Uncle throws a lot of parties haha I think the next one is “The great Gatsby” Heidi you are...
