Editorial Review for Ellen – by Rebecca Braverman
In Short
Find well-picked vintage items--some from big names, some just looking like it--enhanced by owner and former makeup artist Ellen Koenigsberg's editorializing scrawls on the tags ("Looks like Gucci to me?"). Her collection offers one-stop shopping for the retro addict: Past scores have included a cat-print blouse (very Alice Roi), some fine belts, a pair of old-lady-cool platform sandals in navy blue and a heart-stopping Marimekko dress.

yes, the owner of the store has a great eye, but the items are totally overpriced for what they are- $300 for a dress that is threadbare and stained? she also has a snotty attitude.
Pros: nicely chosen vintage
Cons: WAY overpriced, snotty owner

This is one vintage store worth seeking out--the clothes are fabulous beyond belief. Ellen, the proprietor, is sweet and helpful, and her taste in clothing is to die for. In addition to the outstanding vintage treasures, she'll find an ordinary jacket or blouse and add details (buttons, ribbon accents) that make it extraordinary. Unlike most vintage stores, these clothes are lovingly cared for and restored. For that kind of quality, the reasonable prices are more than justified. Ladies, please help keep this store alive!
Pros: beautiful clothes, good condition, helpful staff
Cons: hard to find
