When it comes to Asheville’s shopping scene, we love a good treasure hunt — and a good bargain. Our city is home to several fabulous flea markets, cool co-ops, stellar vintage shops, and resale gems. So get in, we’re going shopping.

Asheville Vintage Market, various locations

AVL Clothing Swap, various locations
If you’ve got a closet that fills up quickly (us too), then a stop by the clothing swap might be in order. Buy a $30 ticket, drop of your unwanted clothes, then shop the bi-annual shop. Pro tip: The website is a great resource for spots to shop secondhand or to donate.
