Buried deep in a district famous for its street food, the Gwangjang Vintage Market seems like a black hole of lost vintage clothes. Jampacked with small stalls selling quality second-hang clothing and accessories items, the market features items mostly from Japan and the US. Although the extreme tight space and claustrophobic atmosphere can be off-putting for some, the Gwangjang Vintage Market can be a haven for many die-hard fashionistas.
It will take a while until you find something you like, but rest assured -- you will find it. Power up your bargaining skills for even cheaper deals.
The Gwangjang Vintage Market is a big mess, but for adventurous fashion devotees, it's all about the hunt.
