Lex in the City: East Nashville Secondhand Guide Part II

Illustrated East Nashville secondhand shopping guide featuring local thrift stores, vintage shops, neighborhood streetscape, and Nashville skyline artwork.

If you thought you’d already seen everything East Nashville has to offer, think again. Beyond the neighborhood’s most well-known East Nashville thrift stores are a handful of curated vintage boutiques, resale shops, and hidden gems that are just as worthy of a stop. Whether you’re shopping for vintage denim, unique home décor, or everyday secondhand finds, this route makes for an easy afternoon of treasure hunting.

Know Before You Go

Unlike traditional thrift stores, most of these shops are curated vintage boutiques, meaning inventory has been hand-selected rather than donated. You’ll generally find higher-quality pieces, but expect prices to reflect that. Sizes are also limited to what’s currently available, so if you find something you love, don’t wait too long—most pieces won’t be restocked.

Many of these stores are clustered around East Trinity Lane, Gallatin Pike, and Five Points, making it easy to visit several in one trip. Parking is usually free, but it can fill up on weekends, so weekday mornings or early afternoons tend to offer the best shopping experience.

Cherry Picked

CURATED VINTAGE BOUTIQUE

Don’t expect endless racks to dig through here. Cherry Picked takes a more boutique approach, offering a thoughtfully curated selection of vintage clothing, accessories, and one-of-a-kind finds. The bright, airy space and well-spaced racks make browsing feel relaxed and intentional, while the inventory leans toward timeless, wearable pieces rather than costume-like vintage. If you prefer quality over quantity and enjoy a slower shopping experience, it’s well worth the visit.

📍1108 Woodland St, Nashville, TN 37206

Rerun is a favorite among locals looking for affordable resale clothing with a mix of current styles and vintage finds. Because the store buys from locals every day, the inventory is constantly changing. You’ll find contemporary brands, denim, shoes, accessories, and the occasional vintage gem, making it a great stop if your style blends modern fashion with secondhand shopping. It’s the kind of place that’s worth revisiting since no two trips look exactly the same.

Final Thoughts

One of the best things about thrifting in East Nashville is the variety. No two stores on this list feel exactly the same, which is what makes spending a day exploring the neighborhood so much fun. Whether you’re searching for vintage Levi’s, unique home décor, or trendy resale pieces, every stop offers something a little different—and because inventory changes constantly, no two visits are ever exactly alike.

If you’re planning a full thrift day, consider grouping your stops by area. Visit Anaconda Vintage, Lucky Stars Vintage Collective, and Lykke Haus together on East Trinity Lane, head over to Backslide Vintage on Gallatin Pike, then finish your day in Five Points with Rerun and a coffee or meal nearby. It’s one of the best ways to experience why East Nashville has become the city’s vintage shopping hub.
