After amassing a sizable collection of vintage jewelry and clutches, Jill Garland decided it was time to share the goods with her fellow Angelenos. So when she saw a space available on Canon Drive across the street from Porta Via, the Beverly Hills restaurant she co-owns, she jumped. The result is V Vintage, a by-appointment-only shop that offers a stellar selection of Chanel, YSL, Christian Dior, Kenneth Jay Lane, Lanvin, Gucci, Bottega Veneta, and more, with some pieces starting at a very reasonable $75. "Everything that I have is a reflection of me and what I would wear," says Garland. "My inventory is always changing, because with vintage everything is one of a kind."
V Vintage, 427 Canon Dr., Suite 216, Beverly Hills, (310) 279-6800.
