How our store works.
First, spend some time hunting through our photo galleries. We have organized them by item, room, style, even color. But even if you are looking for something specific, browse through the other galleries – you may find something that you didn’t know you needed, the perfect piece to complement your house or apartment. Consider it your own private treasure hunt.
Then come by and see us in our new retail space at 515 S. Fairfax, in Los Angeles. If you have a long list of items, email that list to us and we can get stuff ready for you, or call us at 323-938-9230 with any questions.
We are very flexible and will make ourselves available by appointment even after regular business hours. And you can take your item home right away.
Repeat.
Check back often. If you don’t want to miss out on the latest treasure, check back on Mondays & Tuesdays, when we post our new finds. And if you are looking for something specific, let us know and we will keep an eye out for you. It’s like having your own personal shopper and vintage furniture guru!
We will ship items to you if you cannot come see them. We have gift certificates available for the vintage design lover. And we offer interior design and decorating services, whether you want assistance with making the right choices, or designing an entire room, or an entire house.
Vintage is the ultimate Green.
Buying vintage is the ultimate green way to shop. You don’t increase your carbon footprint through manufacturing. You are recycling, in the best sense of the word. That beautiful 50′s lamp doesn’t end up in a landfill, (and you are way cooler than your friends.)
Where do we find our pieces?
We scour more than 100 estate sales, auctions, garage sales, flea markets and online outlets each week.
What kind of pieces do we buy?
Every piece we purchase speaks to us. There’s no single style or perspective. As you browse our website, you will see a range of styles, from mid-century modern and retro 60’s to shabby chic and unique art pieces, but they all share a “this is not ikea” look. We look for pieces that are unique, interesting, classic, artistic – pieces with personality. We look for pieces that we would put in our own homes.
TV shows, celebrities, designers and you.
Our store has something for everyone. If you’re looking for design at a bargain price, we’re it. But even when the price is not the most important factor, we offer edgy, interesting options. Set designers and interior designers stop by all the time. TV shows such as Hung, Mad Men, Heroes, Top Design, the Chris Isaak Show, Swingtown and many HGTV shows, including The Antonio Project, have purchased or rented items at TINI. Celebrities like Jessica Alba, Mandy Moore, Ryan Gosling, Ewan McGregor, Seth Rogen, Tracy Chapman, Molly Sims, Justin Long, and Olivia Wilde, to name a few, have shopped at TINI, too.
