Great Vintage With Incredible Retro-Style!…read more SITREP We were looking for pizza and instead initially wandered into this store only to find some awesome retro-dresses! THE SETUP My galpal Jenner & I were on the way back to Central Washington (after she picked me up at SEATAC), and on our way through Olympia, we got struck with massive hunger cravings for Pizza. As we headed to La Gitana, HOT TODDY crossed out path (or rather, we crossed IT'S path) and we had to wander inside of it once we were *blinded by the light* of all it's colors inside! STYLES & DESIGNS! We were inside a virtual smorgasbord of crazy fabrics & designs! I played guard to the dressing room while Jenner tried on some awesome dresses. I also foraged around for some smaller, more palatable items for a guy to wear and found some pretty cool jackets and socks. THE LOWDOWN After grabbing a couple of dresses, we were ready to go and find our pizza stop (which we did since it was almost next door). Missions Accomplished!

Used to love this place, but just got treated really oddly by the person working the cashier. I…read morealways visit when I'm in town from Los Angeles because I love the cute, quirky vibes. Today I walked in, a white Oly couple a few steps ahead of me. The clerk completely ignored them, but as soon as she saw me she RUSHED out from behind the counter in a panic as if to block my entry, saying "CAN I HELP YOU" in a stressed tone. She only relaxed when she saw my shopping bag from Radiance. I can't think of what would cause such a reaction, except that I am visibly brown. I'd hate to think that someone at such a sweet staple of downtown was racially profiling me. All in all it left a sour taste in my mouth. In over 10 years, I've never been treated this way here.

What a hidden gem! Don't let the name fool you -- this place is full of good quality vintage finds…read moreand a fun, lively vibe. There was karaoke happening when we walked in, and everyone seemed friendly. I'll definitely be back. Honestly, a name change could make a big difference, since we almost didn't stop because the name gave off the wrong impression. Other than that it was all good.

Three years ago I highly recommended them. I purchased quite a few items. Mostly clothes but…read morejewelry and accessories. Now, I see so many clothes marked 'as is' and extremely poor quality. They won't accept anything. Clothes now worn, even summer styles I purchased from them! Always an excuse why they won't accept. And these are nice clothes. Expensive silk scarf nobody would want? Linen top never won, sleeveless summer style I bought but didn't fit, much more. Sure, they can choose what they want but what do they want? Very disappointed in the prices for what you get.

Honestly there is so much here. Even with 20+ people in the store, the staff was really helpful with prices and information on items. They are really understanding that the card market is constantly changing and try to keep prices flexible. They also have multiple vendors upstairs. I'm kinda afraid to bring my girlfriend to this store. Maybe I'll save up before bringing her haha. Great store, will definitely recommend.

UPDATE TO RESPONSE: First of all, you never told me I could…read morecome back to your store the next day to get everything cleared up. That's a lie. Furthermore, an honest business owner should always provide a receipt so situations like this can be completely avoided. If your store policies were already in place, why weren't these charges initially explained when I asked you directly? You never clarified with, "There's a bag fee and a 0.50 cent credit card fee." Instead, you skirted the question and made me ask how the mysterious fee was calculated (I asked, "3 percent?") and you said yes, which left me confused. You were dismissive and unprofessional. And your response to my review is dishonest and disingenuous.

I wish it was bigger. I know this is a small, boutique style Goodwill outfit…read more It just didn't have the more quirky and unusual finds I was hoping to "discover". Friendly worker there who was knowledgeable and so sweet. The focus, understandably, is on clothing and shoes. Again, I just wish there was even more of what they had. I was in and out in 5 minutes.

I believe this is my 4th possibly 5th Blue experience and I have to say, I don't like what I see…read morehere. Blue appears to be the product of someone sifting through donations and determining these items can sell retail. Ceramic mugs at $12.99? This is Goodwill and if someone gave you that for free, why are you charging $13 for an item that would be a max of $3 at a reputable thrift shop and truth be told, most thrift shops sell mugs for $.99. I saw a few things here I liked, but when I saw the pricing, I just laughed, I wouldn't pay their asking price if the same items were new. I was also offended while attempting to shop here. I was the only one in the store and the woman was doing something in the corner. As I starting browsing near the entrance, I felt crowded and when I looked up, the woman working there, had apparently decided to spruce up the area I was looking at. It was a poorly timed and placed attempt to discourage shoplifting, but I am a mature, educated man with more than enough money and if I had to guess, I donate thousands of dollar's worth of merchandise to Goodwill annually and are a little peeved then they don't provide coupons or vouchers for large donations. Actually, in the last year, I started donating to a place in Bellevue, they give either 10% or 15% off your bill when you donate and even though, I don't always find anything to purchase, at least I know my donation is appreciated. This woman made me so uncomfortable following me around, I left. It was a nasty atmosphere and not typical of the once Hippy Vegan vibe I would get visiting Olympia. Shame on your Goodwill, I expect far better from you in many ways.

She took my measurements, explained sizing, patterns, fabrics, looked through a book of men's fashions with me, and allowed me to try on multiple ensembles--all this for one guy, looking to rent one suit at an undetermined date in the future. Her shop is amazing, filled floor to ceiling with every kind of period costume and accessory. In the little corner of this labyrinthine place that was my fitting room, there were fur trapper's garbs, a papoose on the wall, canes, hats, crowns, a sword, and a robust selection of gentlemen's attire that gave me many options for addressing the necessesaries of my attire and equippage. I am very grateful for the chance to come here to transform into someone from another time and place. Thank you.
