Vintage stores can be hit or miss, but when we heard that Bella Hadid hunts for her Levi’s at The Vintage Twin in New York, we knew it had to be good. The owners, twins Morgan and Samantha Elias, search around the world for their impressive collection of denim and vintage clothes. Their online store features some of their finds, but they also run two pop-up shops in NYC. Each has a “JEANius Bar” where they specialize in finding the perfect fit and size for their It clients. They also create custom pieces, like the reworked leather jacket and camo coat they recently designed for Cara Delevingne.

If you’re interested in seeing more, make sure to follow them on Instagram. They often post what their influencer fans have unearthed at their stores. Alexa Chung snagged a vintage tee and leather trench coat, pulling off Françoise Hardy vibes, and We Wore What blogger Danielle Bernstein found a checked blazer and ankle-cropped jeans. Whether you’re after the perfect pair of vintage Wranglers or a worn-in band tee, The Vintage Twin is worth a visit. Read on to shop for vintage-inspired denim.
