One of the city's most important resources for designer and one-of-a-kind vintage in pristine condition, this store has finally outgrown its West Hollywood location and expanded its offerings in roomier new Bev Hills digs.

Stocking brands from Pucci to YSL to Chanel, the Paper Bag Princess is a treasure trove of mint-condition vintage frocks, suits and accessories. Owner Elizabeth Mason will argue that her cache of old stock without designer labels--but bearing quality tailoring and fabrics--are just as stylish and investment-worthy. The move to Beverly Hills not only allows Mason to offer more of her trove with more elbow room around the ready-to-wear, but houses special areas devoted to vintage bridal and vintage couture from the likes of Dior, Givenchy and Balenciaga. And because the store so often is used by fashion designers trolling for new inspiration, a section of space is devoted to a reference library for those fashionistas looking to study the sartorial past.
