The Way We Wore

"Fabulous selection of excellent condition vintage and designer-ware. The people who work there are kind and knowledgeable. As a first-time Oscar attendee I needed all the help I could get, and I got it there"

"An absolute gem. Vintage at its best: a carefully and tastefully curated selection of authentic and high-quality pieces representing many decades of fashion. Importantly: Wonderful reception, highly accommodating and competent staff - outstanding service. Brilliant experience from start to finish. Unfortunately not enough time due to the fact I was on the way to LAX back to Europe, but could not resist purchasing a vintage blouse. Looking forward to my next visit already. Thank you for keeping the spirit of fashion, and the way we understand it, bright."

"The most fabulous service I’ve ever received, and such an impressive selection of beautiful true vintage. It was the most organized out of any vintage store I’ve ever been to as well. The owner is an absolute delight and every single employee was beyond helpful"

"SAME OLD...SAME OLD. Will we ever stop anti-black bias or will my posterity and I have to put up with this nonsense forever?! My wife and I walk into this store today and were given only the most perfunctory of greetings. The attendant barely even looks up or comes from the back where she was sitting. This was bad enough, especially after my wife has fantasized about coming to this store for almost two years since watching the TV show LA Frock Stars on the Smithsonian Channel. About five minutes later, after being generally ignored by the attendant, a white-appearing woman enters. All of a sudden, the white-appearing attendant comes alive, is effusive in her greeting, and explains the layout of the store as she winsomely engages the white shopper. My wife goes over to the attendant and asks why we did not hear about the store upon entering, and she says, "Oh, I thought you heard when I spoke to the other shopper." This is the kind of stuff that makes us Black folks sick and tired. LA is supposed to be the "city of woke," and yet these aggressions based solely on personal bias continue unabated. I am personally and generationally disgusted by this, and the attendant, owners, and anyone connected with this store and show should be ashamed to be associated with this kind of behavior. I WILL NEVER GO BACK HERE AGAIN. DR. B."
