From left, Maria Davila, Ramon Lavares, Miles Miller and Matt Vallin, all from the San Fernando Valley, sift through the"$2 pile" at the flea market.
Take the trio of men holding trash bags filled with T-shirts they had acquired in a shopping frenzy that took place at dawn. Ramon Lavares, Matt Vallin, both 18, and Miles Miller, 17, had already visited the “$2 pile” — which is exactly what it sounds like. Still, they stalked new gear like a pack of wolves before the market became overrun with latecomers who had missed the day’s best finds.
“I think that streetwear is part of the culture now,” Lavares said. “It’s a way of expressing yourself, honestly. People love expressing themselves, and they find it through clothes.”“Everyone will say that they’re here to sell — and I am too — but I’m also here for friendship,” said Jesus Martinez, 20, of Santa Ana. “As far as selling, that’s always the goal, but I want my name to be heard around here. It’s one of the best communities I’ve been a part of.
The growth of the vintage streetwear market, especially among younger shoppers, parallels the rise of sustainable fashion.
