One of my favorite stops when I'm in Ojai is The Lennon Closet, a sweet little consignment shop…read moretucked inside The Arcade Plaza, right between Matilija St and E. Ojai Ave. It's the kind of place that instantly feels welcoming--you're always greeted with a smile, and even if you don't find something that day, the browsing itself feels like a small joy. That said, I always seem to find something! I still wear a cozy sweater I picked up there last year, and on my last visit, I found a pair of earrings that I absolutely love. The prices are reasonable and the items are in great condition. Since they're a consignment shop, they do accept items for resale--you get a percentage back when your item sells. If you're thinking about bringing something in, it's best to call ahead to check their process and which days they're accepting items. One more reason to love The Lennon Closet? A percentage of their sales goes toward Traumatic Brain Injury charities, making every treasure you find there even more meaningful. It's a win-win--shopping with joy, supporting a great cause, and finding pieces that feel like they were meant just for you.

I heard about this place from the other chill vintage shop in East'ish Ojai. It's mostly women's…read morestuff right now. I brought a date there and picked up a vintage army shirt. A friend of the previous owner of the shirt was there and gave us a story about him that added to the appeal. She says she gets comments about it all the time. It's become one of her favourite pieces to wear. You can wake up early and bounce around yard sales and such or you can come here, save time, have fun then get some grub the next block over. Gems abound. The owner and her boyfriend are authentic locals and mad cool. Talk about anything from philosophy, Chi Gong, surfing or badass vintage cars.

Great little thrift shop off the beaten path. It's way bigger once you step inside than how it…read morelooks from the outside, and is full of clothing, homegoods, and knick knacks. From a clothing perspective, despite the large selection I found the selection to be pretty basic, with a lot of standard items (t-shirts, sweaters, etc.). If you're looking for eclectic, kitschy stuff this is not really the place for that. But if you want basic essentials, there's a large variety of that. There are a TON of household items for every room, from cups to organizers to dish dinnerware, etc. I ended up finding a porcelain cup for camping that I've been looking for for awhile. There is also a whole room full of furniture, and a separate room full of sporting goods. Huge collection of VHS, though not sure if that's very useful for anyone anymore these days. While the items are organized in sections, due to the large amount of stuff crammed in there you definitely need to dig around a little. It feels a little less curated than other thrift shops, in that there are a lot of things in there in poor condition. Some of the stuff is dusty and not fully cleaned. What made me love this thrift shop is how CHEAP it is. Hats were 1.50, shirts were a few bucks, jackets were 5 bucks. Walking into the store I was worried that it would be more expensive than Goodwill or a large chain thrift shop, but it's one of the cheapest thrift shops I've ever been to. I didn't need too much help except to check out, but the guy working the front was welcoming and friendly. All in all, from a selection/quality standpoint of the items I would give this place 3 stars, but because of how cheap it is I give it 4. I wouldn't drive too far out of my way to go here, but if you're in the area it's definitely worth it to check out.
