This isn't your average secondhand shop. Stepping inside this Anaheim concept store is like walking into a hipster Anthropologie—exposed beam ceilings, designer labels dressing the mannequins, lounge-style vignettes for a mid-shopping repose and a Tumblr-worthy art piece that reads, "We are anything but ordinary. We are rare." Indeed. The shop, a unique concept from the non-profit organization, pulls the top designer, fashion-forward pieces from the Goodwill inventory into one expertly curated store. From Dolce Vita platforms to Missoni dresses to Louis Vuitton handbags, Rare is chock-full of coveted finds at a fraction of the price. Ralph Lauren dress? $9.99. Vince Camuto pumps? $8.99. Enough said. In store, also find a selection of home goods, vinyl and accessories.
It's time to get the best shops in Anaheim on your radar. From wine purveyors and gourmet cheese shops to indoor swapmeets and designer-filled secondhand shops, the Orange County city is home to much more than just the Happiest Place on Earth. Though if you're in the market for Disneyland collectibles and souveniers, you're in the right place. While neighbors like Costa Mesa and Newport Beach are known as the O.C. shopping meccas, Anaheim has plenty of under-the-radar shops worth discovering. The next time you find yourself with some extra money to spend in Orange County, let this be your guide.
