Antique and secondhand shopping in South Lake Tahoe blends eco-conscious values with creativity and curiosity, offering residents and visitors alike the chance to discover treasures while supporting sustainable practices. From furniture with character to adventure gear ready for its next chapter, the shops recognized in this year’s Best of Tahoe prove that reimagined items often carry more charm than anything freshly unboxed.

Connie’s Clothesline Consignment Market Place

Stepping into Connie’s Clothesline is a bit like flipping through your stylish best friend’s closet — if that closet also included home décor, accessories and the occasional surprise find. This consignment marketplace thrives on a mix of high-quality resale fashion, functional goods and fun curiosities. With a focus on rotating inventory and approachable pricing, Connie’s offers locals a guilt-free way to shop fashion-forward without the markup or environmental cost.

Tahoe Home Consignment

For those who believe furniture should tell a story, Tahoe Home Consignment offers plenty of conversation starters. Specializing in home furnishings and décor, the store is a well-curated blend of vintage style, modern classics and mountain-inspired pieces that reflect the region’s aesthetic. Tahoe Home Consignment operates with an eye toward sustainability — giving quality goods a second life rather than sending them to the landfill. Whether you're furnishing a vacation home or hunting for a standout coffee table, the layout and selection make it easy to envision how each piece might fit into your life.

Tahoe Gear Exchange

At Tahoe Gear Exchange, the outdoors doesn’t stop at the trailhead — it starts with access. This locally owned shop offers new and used gear for skiing, snowboarding, hiking, biking and more, keeping adventuring affordable while keeping quality high. The team understands gear from both a performance and practical perspective, offering a smart alternative to buying brand new. Their consignment model lets locals recycle their gently used equipment into cash or store credit, and visitors often find it’s the ideal place to score what they forgot to pack — or didn’t know they needed until they saw it.
