A rag house is a facility where used clothing is processed, sorted, graded, and selected for resale. At LA Vintage, our team sorts and handpicks inventory in our Los Angeles warehouse every day, allowing us to continuously pull vintage pieces and build a wide range of wholesale inventory for our customers.

LA Vintage is a Los Angeles-based rag house with decades of experience sourcing, sorting, and grading used clothing. Our continuously changing inventory, warehouse handpick options, virtual shopping, online wholesale selection, and ability to handle high-volume orders give buyers multiple ways to source vintage clothing based on their business needs.

Buyers can source inventory through the LA Vintage online store, in-person warehouse handpicking, virtual shopping appointments, and larger wholesale orders. This gives businesses different sourcing options depending on their location, budget, and inventory needs.

LA Vintage serves vintage stores, thrift stores, online resellers, designers, stylists, wholesalers, and other businesses looking for vintage inventory.

We primarily offer Grade A vintage clothing—items in excellent to near-new condition, with only minor flaws like light staining or general wear. Our mixes will also include a small percentage of Grade B pieces, which could feature things like small holes, distressing, or light cracking in graphics. All pieces are inspected for resellable quality.

• Grade A: Excellent condition. No major flaws, stains, or tears.
• Grade B: Visible signs of wear—small holes, minor stains, or distressing. Great for upcycling or customers who love that true vintage vibe.
• Grade C: Not included in our orders unless noted. These items are often recycled or used for upcycling.

Each of our bales weighs 100 lbs, but the number of items will vary depending on the type of product. This is because different clothing types vary in weight, material, and bulk — so no two bales will ever contain the exact same item count!

Here are some general estimates:

• Jackets typically weigh 1–3 lbs each, so a 100 lb bale may contain approximately 30–100 jackets depending on the type of jacket bale ordered.
• T-shirts average 3–5 shirts per lb, so a 100 lb bale may contain approximately 300–500 T-shirts.
• Dresses average between 160- 225 pieces per bale.

Our bales are sold by the pound, not per piece. The actual number of pieces in your bale will vary based on the weight and type of clothing included and is an approximation only.
