Staple of San Jose thrift stores. I wouldn't call the prices thrifty however the selection and quality of clothes makes up for it. Particularly come here for some cool military surplus items.

I LOVE this place! They have a great selection of both modern and vintage pieces. The women’s denim is definitely a highlight for me. I haven’t found my perfect pair of vintage denim yet, but every time I come in there’s always a few new additions. The hunt is always the best part anyways! Just a tip: sometimes they organize items by size based on the tag, and often it doesn’t match modern sizes. I bought a pair of shorts that were marked a 29 and in the 7-8 section but they were really a 26/27. So make sure to look through the bigger sizes just in case. The men’s section is incredible btw. No matter how you identify, you’ll find something cool or unique! The things that are current aren’t cheap shein or F21 from what I’ve seen, so you can tell they select their items carefully. I know because I brought in a big bag of clothes to sell, and they picked only a few items. I know this may bother some folks, but you have to go in with that expectation (it’s a business after all) The return is 35% in cash which is a little better than places like crossroads/Buffalo exchange/platos closet. It’s important to support a smaller business too! The wait also wasn’t too long. I’ve had a positive experience with the employees. I’ve been greeted every time, and they always ask to prepare a fitting room when they notice that you’ve grabbed some items. They also have an Instagram where they post some of their inventory. Overall the vibes are good!

I found this place from a friend a I really enjoyed the little store; it was clean, color coded, and had cute things. Unfortunately, it seemed all very overpriced for used clothing. I am not sure what it was but the entire time I was shopping the staff seemed to be standoffish and even rude at times. When asking to try on clothes it didn’t seem like customers were first priority along with rude comments to questions we asked.

Love it! The whole store is aesthetically pleasing, with a sort of retro, boho vibes. There are definitely some good corners of the store and mirrors to do some photoshoots with the gems you buy. I got an adorable denim skirt and jacket, and there were so many good items there. The price depends on what you buy, so a range from 10 dollars to 50, so what I bought was pricier than I intended($78). They have a large variety, spanning from more basic tops to upscale, newer to vintage. My friend got a great Zara top, and my other friend got a cute vintage Thrasher tee. We had a great time taking photos with the retro sunglasses. Service was good, not super amazing, but definitely not bad. Definitely coming here again!
