Marketplace Los Angeles Founder Charlie Shanfeld Shares How He Sources High-End Vintage Clothing for Celebs

On the hunt! Marketplace Los Angeles has become a designer vintage haven for celebs like Chris Brown, DDG, Gunna, and more, and founder Charlie Shanfeld sat down with ET to share exactly how he tracks down their conversation starting styles. 

To begin, the stylist, 26, focuses on gathering a mix of luxury, pre-loved, and exclusive coveted items at his Los Angeles, California based shop, which opened in 2023. 

“The store blends high-end fashion with ’90s vintage aesthetics. … It’s almost like walking through an art gallery, but instead of paintings and sculptures, the space is filled with carefully curated, one-of-a-kind clothing pieces,” he shares. 

“I want to ensure that my inventory not only reflects current trends, but also carries a sense of nostalgia and authenticity,” Shanfeld continues. 

Think: Statement clothes and accessories from Chrome Hearts, Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton, Enfants Riches Déprimés, Carhartt, and Marketplace Los Angeles’ own branded collection all set in an atmosphere that blends fashion, culture, and art together.  

And the business owner is determined to get ahold of these rare treasures that come from far and wide. 

“We source our inventory globally by leveraging relationships with brands and private collectors, which grant us access to limited releases and one-of-one items. We also handpick vintage pieces from trusted suppliers and private sellers worldwide,” he explains. 

As for what grabs his attention? “A piece stands out to me when it has a combination of uniqueness, quality, and storytelling.”

“Hard-to-find items instantly catch my eye. If it’s something you don’t see often, it holds more value, and if a piece has historical or cultural relevance, it carries extra weight. … Design details like strong silhouettes, intricate stitching, hidden branding, distressing, unique hardware, and bold graphics also make pieces special,” the curator adds. 

Beyond that, Shanfeld notes the importance of the quality and condition of his thrifted collectibles. 

“I value material and craftsmanship and look for heavyweight cotton, premium leather, expertly faded denim, and well-constructed pieces with durability.”

Once the vintage seller gathers his exclusive stock, it’s time for some retail therapy. 

“The shopping experience with celebrity clients is all about exclusivity, efficiency, and personalization. … Most of the time, celebrities don’t have the time to browse like regular customers, so I curate pieces specifically for their style before they arrive. Some prefer after-hours shopping for privacy, while others send their stylists to pull selections,” he dishes.

Regardless of their preferences, the California native is sure to have something on hand for everyone who visits his appointment-only boutique by offering versatile wardrobe staples that elevate outfits effortlessly. 

“Style isn’t just about following trends, it’s about presenting yourself in a way that attracts the right attention. Your look should make people want to approach you,” he says.
