What a wonderful experience here today! We went in for some RenFaire ideas and Halloween costume shopping as well. The selection was AMAZING! The staff was incredibly friendly, and VERY helpful! (they pretty much knew every item they had off the top of their head) They helped us pick out specific items, and went and chose pieces that worked perfectly with the look we were trying to achieve. Can't say enough good things about this place, we'll be back, often and tell everyone we know to come here!

Fantastic place to find costumes and clothes from across a variety of eras. From Renaissance to flapper dresses to steampunk and even tuxes for a fancy wedding or night out! They also have leather pouches, belts, jewelry! It’s a wonderland of cool clothing for all your needs.

The Alley is packed to the gills with amazing clothing and costume pieces. A perfect place to buy a full costume for the renaissance festival or find cosplay accessories. Vintage pieces galore! The selection includes what you might expect and beyond. The pricing is fair for the quality but do not expect it to be light on the pocket book. This unsuspecting shop is a must visit if you’re in the Columbus area.

Is there a cow costume available to rent?

Al Holaday | Oct 16, 2019
Dalton Beall | Oct 16, 2019

Actually that answer is incorrect. Unfortunately the alley vintage and costume does not allow any costume rental. With that being said 9 times out of 10 its cheaper to buy their costumes than to rent them from another business. Also at this time they do not have a cow costume in stock.

Do you buy vintage clothing

mary stephens | Oct 16, 2019
Dalton Beall | Oct 16, 2019

Yes ma'am they do. The clothes have to be in good condition, no holes or stains, and 80's or before. You may also put them on consignment which has a possibility of earning you more money over a period of 6 months if it sells. Also some items just do not sell in this area and demographic so even certain pieces they cannot buy but you can consign.

do they rent period corsets?

nellie werger | Oct 16, 2019
Dalton Beall | Oct 16, 2019

They do no rentals however their prices are lower than rental costs. So it's much better to buy your item here then to rent it for the night.

do you have online sales

joyce hunsaker | Oct 16, 2018
Jason Woolever | Oct 16, 2018

I don't think they do, their selection is huge and ever changing which would be difficult to keep up with online. It's the type of place that you should definitely visit in person if possible!

You could call and ask if it's possible to arrange. They are very nice. There are no returns or exchanges I think...
