Flashbacks Encinitas

576 S Coast Highway in Encinitas

Flashbacks is well-known amongst local teenagers due to their wide variety of funky retro pieces found in the store. A medium-large sized store and full of friendly staff, Flashbacks sells all kinds of items. This goes from tie-dye shirts to crazy hats, and that is not including their large collection of wigs. The store has everything you need if you’re going for a retro style. Once in the store, it’s easy to navigate through all the racks and find what you’re looking for because of the way the store is sectioned off. Along with the D.A.V., each item there is individually priced. The clothes Flashbacks offers are very trendy, but some don’t agree with their prices. For a resale store, their clothes tend to be too overpriced for the quality of what they’re selling. For example, they could be selling a concert shirt from a band in the ’90s. Now a shirt from a ’90s concert is considered vintage, but if someone has already worn it many times before and there are holes all along the collar and in the shirt, it should not be sold for $26. If you’re looking to spend a little extra money on some unique vintage finds head over to Flashbacks and check out what they have to offer.
