Categories → Designer & Vintage Clothing → California
15 upcoming sales in California currently feature designer & vintage clothing as a primary category, with the strongest concentrations around Berkeley. Vintage designer, leather jackets, vintage denim, accessories.
Designer and vintage clothing is the highest-margin category at most estate sales and consequently the one with the most variable pricing. A St. John knit suit might price at $20 at a homeowner-run moving sale and $400 at a professionally inventoried estate sale; both prices are reasonable to the seller and both create different opportunities for the buyer.
Vintage designer suits and dresses (St. John, Chanel, Escada, Burberry), 1960s and 1970s mod and bohemian dresses, leather jackets (Schott, Avirex, vintage Harley-Davidson), vintage Levi's denim from the 1970s and earlier, vintage Western wear, mid-century cocktail dresses, evening gowns, fur coats (often near-worthless commercially in 2026 but useful for theatrical and creative reuse), genuine alligator and crocodile handbags, scarves (Hermès when you are very lucky), shoes, and costume jewelry that carries the room.

Designer pieces price by the host's research depth. Leather jackets price $40–$180 commonly. Vintage Levi's denim with the right tab style and selvedge prices $80–$400+. Furs price low because the resale market has collapsed. Cocktail and evening wear prices $20–$80 for dramatic mid-century pieces in good condition.
Within California specifically, 125 total estate, moving, and liquidation sales are listed across all categories this season — meaning 15 of them carry meaningful designer & vintage clothing inventory. These sales cluster in 11 cities; concentrating your weekend route around the metro areas with the highest sale density typically yields three to four productive stops in a single Saturday.
Bring a tape measure for chest, waist, and inseam measurements; vintage sizing runs small and inconsistent, and most estate sales do not allow trying on. Photograph labels and search them while you shop. Inspect under the arms and along seams for damage; vintage fabrics are unforgiving. A regional resale-comp service can help you stay sharp on local pricing if you shop seriously.
