I absolutely love this store! The staff are wonderful and are always happy to help. There are so many treasures to be found. I have been several times and I always find something new. The pricing is fair and every item has a story. I wish I could give the store higher than five stars!

I was leaving a pawn shop that didn't want anything I had with me (a couple 22K gold plates, a couple class rings and a watch) and was all set to give up on selling these things. (I'd already contacted at least five places that bought silver and gold, along with three antique shops. The highest offer I got was $3-$4, and I definitely wasn't driving anywhere that would cost more in gas than the value of the items.) I just so happened to be driving past this place on my way to run errands. I looked a little closer under the construction signs blocking the entrance, and I saw that they were an antique shop that bought gold and silver. If I hadn't made a wrong turn, I'd have missed this store completely. The guy standing out front organizing everything was super friendly and greeted me immediately. He said "the lady" wasn't there right now. My guess is "the lady" is the owner. But he took photos of my items and texted them to her to see if she wanted them. By this point, I was already skeptical of whether this would work out, but I was pleasantly surprised by the deal they gave me on the watch, the rings and the plates. Two other guys marched in, grumpily yelling about how they had "bags of silver" in their backpacks a wee bit too aggressively for me. The guy who was helping me was professional with them but let them know that they'd need to come back later when "the lady" was there. He continued working with me after those two marched out again, realizing they had to wait a little bit for their transaction. I saw other people shopping in the store, buying some of the most RANDOM items. (My favorite item in the store was a set of napkins that said, "No f**ks to give.") I'd come in here just to see what kind of entertaining items I could find, but I wasn't there to shop that day. Although it's hard to spot due to construction, I like this place. Never seen it before, but it was a pleasant surprise.

I'm a vintage picker and dealer that's been to shops in Portland, Seattle, Charleston, Atlanta, Boston, and other cities, and I have NEVER seen a more impressive collection of vintage clothing in my life. Everyone in the shop is incredibly nice and give you room to dig and shop. The basement...well, you aren't ready!!! You'd need a whole day to go through it. Alfred Shaheen, Betty Barclay, Pendleton...just WOW. Four hours and I barely scratched the surface. I think it's important to note if your vintage experience has been the more curated boutiques, upstairs is more your style. This is also not a thrift store. If you're used to picking and digging in dusty houses and estate sales where you're used to the smell of old clothes, the basement is solid gold. I think it's also important to note the clothing ranges from the 40s to the 80s, meaning stuff has been stored away for four to eight decades. Things get moth holes, tears, stains, etc. Just get some woolite or take it to a dry cleaner. Even with that said, most everything was in great shape. I can understand why other reviewers might not be used to that (I wasn't in the beginning either). Thank you for the most exciting deep dive into decades of clothing. Shopping here was an absolute pleasure. I can't wait to come back.
