Fun and Funky

by Jasmine504

I just moved to town and looked this store up on the net. I found some great vintage peices and thought the prices were pretty good. If you are looking for that one of a kind item or a costume this is a great place. I can see that it is not for everyone, especially if you don't know about vintage or know how to rock hipster clothes.

• Pros: unique items with good prices
• Cons: must dig / heat hot store

too bad

by hollyween

I have shopped at this store on and off for almost 20 years (it was originally located in the french quarter) and have always loved it. I have, once before, sold some vintage pieces to the store at great prices but not today. I have to say my experience at the store today has me swearing off ever returning to the shop again. The standard there is 40% of the retail price in cash or 50% given in store credit. I was giving no where near the 40% of what the will charge for the items (most items on the racks are $30.00 or more, I received a mere 5 bucks an item). I left feeling robbed and Now really wished I hadn't sold them. They are unethical, dishonest and not to mention just plain rude. The prices are also outrageous for what they are selling which is simpley secondhand clothing. They have absolutely no working knowledge of valuable vintage and it shows. I will never return and feel sorry for the future customers that will be taken by the shop. Some reward for years of patronage. Thanks!

• Pros: one of the few places in town to vintage clothes
• Cons: rude, unqualified staff

Not IMPRESSED

by DavidVH

1) They were rude. I guess if you are a black male wearing true religion jeans and an american apparel t-shirt, then they don't want to talk to you. 3 employees separately directed me to another employee to get help while one was on the phone, one was reading a newspaper and the other one REFUSED to acknowledge my existence.

2) Ridiculous prices. I walked to two different stores (one within a few blocks) and found some of the same "vintage" stuff for $20- $35 cheaper.

Try Buffalo Exchange or The salvation army. They are nicer and have far far FAR better pricing and staff

• Pros: nothing
• Cons: staff. prices for things you could get cheaper anywhere else
