Second-hand demand: Young buyers flock to vintage clothing in Bay Area fashion trend

BERKELEY’S TELEGRAPH AVENUE begs those who tread on it to remember its past. Black-and-white posters of loosely clothed, long-haired ’60s teens, decades-old record stores and a history-rich chess club line the street — an ode to all that’s old. 

But perhaps what best captures the romanticization of Berkeley’s past are its vintage stores, chock full of clothes that defined the city’s golden decades of activism and revolution.
