The Scene – It's not hard to believe that '80s fashion icon Cyndi Lauper worked here back in the day. Platform sandals and Chloe dresses share space with Members Only jackets and felt fedoras in a retro-fashionista's wonderland. Don't call it a thrift store, however: There will be no digging through boxes of ratty T-shirts and sodden housecoats. Everything is a find, and the refined displays are more Gimbel's than Goodwill. – – The Goods – Even if vintage isn't your everyday look, be sure to stop by around Halloween when the staff--mainly fashion stylists--pulls out…
Chic Vintage Indeed, (for a small price)
by hpfan45
I stubbled among this store on a rainy day during the summer. The street its in was wide and dark and I needed some refeege while the un-expected storm died.
Walking in, your met by friendly sales people on the right, readily helping you (but not too overbearing)
Looking around I loved the selection of clothes they had ( ALL vintage, excluding the jean line they started for their 50 year anniversary.)
The clothes were on the pricey side, but if you want nice vintage finds, this is the place. This store isn't as bad as what you would usually pay in something like Urban Outfitters (which many hail to)
I got this vintage high waisted 60s skirt with flowers on it for 60 bucks. I wouldn't of bought it, if I didn't just get my birthday money, but I don't regret it now. It's beautiful and adds so much to my wardrobe. Every time I wear it people compliment it.
All in all, I say this store is great for one or two spurge vintage item. Keep in mind more of their everyday wear is located in the front of the store.
Enjoy!
- Pros: amazing clothes dating back decades. nice service.
- Cons: little pricy, nothing higher than urban outfitters
Bad and over-priced selection
by yaintime21
I found this store with the notion that it was an inexpensive vintage store with a good selection, just as the tour guide book said. The sizes were too big, but it's not like any of the clothes were that great! Not only was the clothing itself ugly and VERY tacky, but the prices were through the roof. I only found one piece I liked: a purple corduroy jumper at an unfair $70. Now, if you think that sounds ugly, than do NOT waste your time here! My only praise for this store is that they have a nice selection of sunglasses. (My first review.)
It's Fabulouso!

I love this store! I went there to get a suit and the staff couldn't have been more helpful and attractive. The place is arranged so nicely that it was easy to find what I was looking for. And the girls helped me find a tie and shirt that looked great with my suit. I thought the staff was friendly and very thoughtful. It's just a fun place to shop and I'll certainly be back. It's awesome!
- Pros: Friendly, attentive service.
- Cons: Sometimes the store is too crowded with customers.
