Deals and steals! So delighted this consignment shop exists on the Westside. I've come across and…read morepurchased some amazing consigned men's items at this store -- Chrome Hearts hoodie, sweats, and sunglasses; Balenciaga trench coat; Rimowa luggage; Bottega Veneta & Loewe tote bags. The staff here is so welcoming and sincere, and are not afraid to strike up a warm conversation. The store is run very efficiently for consignors as well -- I've consigned many men's designer that have sold quickly here. I'd say it's easier to find nice designer womenswear. Men's designer is harder to find, but at times you'l get lucky with designer menswear.

Used to love this place but now it's more of a buyer beware situation, based on a recent…read moreexperience. I purchased two candle holders and later got a voicemail saying I owed an additional 33 cents because they'd undercharged me. Odd amount to call about, but I was out of town and didn't call back right away. The next day I answered a call (that turned out to be from them) asking for someone else entirely. Assuming the number was possibly spam, I googled the number, saw it was Trove, and then emailed them directly, saying I understood I owed 33 cents and asking for an invoice. They corrected me. I actually owed $33, not 33 cents, they couldn't send an invoice by email, and wanted me to call and give my card info over the phone instead. After everything already off with this (the wrong number call, the 33-cent voicemail, no email invoicing), I didn't feel comfortable reading my card number to someone over the phone. I offered to stop by in person instead, and asked in advance if they could have a receipt ready showing my original 33 cent charge, so I wouldn't be making the trip for nothing. I rearranged my lunch break to make this happen and showed up as planned. No receipt. They said they'd emailed it, but I'd specifically asked for a printed copy, the least they could do given this was their error to begin with. That request took several days notice and still didn't happen. Their printer was "acting up," so I got no receipt for the original charge and none for the new $33 charge, either! An error on their end turned into a special trip, wasted time on my lunch break, and still no paperwork to show for any of it. Disappointing customer service, especially when the customer is the one who has to burn their own time fixing your mistake. Edited to add, following their reply: I was never contesting the dollar amount being charged. I was happy to pay for what I purchased. I stated that they asked me to call in my card over the phone. I addressed why I was uncomfortable with doing that, and had asked for a way to provide payment electronically. When that option was not available I offered to come in. My disappointment is that despite their error, the wrong amount owed left on my voicemail, a random "wrong number" phone call from them, and inability to accept payment over something like square invoicing / Venmo / etc., all I asked for was a printed receipt. If someone has to make time to come in and fix your error, it's the least you could have done. I'm now even more disappointed in them after this response.

Serving it up in East Hollywood, they offer a parking lot with a main entrance in the rear. Open everyday from 12 PM til 6:30 PM showing casing some of the best unisex, women's and men's vintage clothing in Los Angeles. Decor with some hints of Star Wars, Western chic and lot of throwback vibes. The music is always good and their service is swift. The isles are pretty close together and the men's selections are a bit scattered up near the front parts of the store. Everything is of incredible quality so prices vary and often on the moderate to bargain side. Changing rooms on the side that are a good size and often in use. Good vibes and great lighting. You're bound to luck into some great stylish finds, accessories or miscellaneous trinkets and cool wonders. I don't believe they buy or offer trade in for your old clothes as everything here is incredible condition and that can be hard to come by the basically like new look. No restrooms for customers.

I ended up finding some Versace boots for such a great price and a blazer by Alice & Olivia plus a cute classic Fendi skirt. I tried on everything before I bought and everything looked great. It's definitely a splurge coming here but I figured it's worth it and I might come back for another item. If it is still here and if it gets marked down. Overall, I say that it does take time trying on and looking for a special item but it is worth it if you are in the area and you have a lot of patience. All my items are really stunning and I can honestly say that they are just exceptional. I got a lot of compliments on this one blazer that matches the whole Hollywood vibe. But yeah if you want to look cool and on point, Wasteland always has everything. Fitting room staff very nice and also the assistants who helped me with the higher end stuff. I will definitely come back! Just make sure you come prepared when you come visit because the stuff is not cheap. You truly get what you pay for but I will say it is very worth it!

They carry a huge selection of men's and women's clothing, shoes, jewelry, and accessories. Most of them are from the 1920's to the 90's. Also they carry vintage guitars. All these nice items are neatly organized in their 2000sq ft store; stuff can be found by era and size in a brightly lit spacious environment. I found a nice brown bomber jacket (see photo) that I dig a lot albeit out of my price range. Price ranges from $5 to over $200 bucks. Atmosphere was relaxing. Staff was affable. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and I recommend this vintage store.

I love the variety of items they carry, and the employees have always been friendly, and welcoming. They have an impressive selection of clothing, shoes, glassware, collectibles, furniture, and vintage treasures, and it's always interesting to browse. That said, the prices are much higher than what most people expect from a thrift store. Traditionally, thrift stores exist to provide affordable clothing and household items while supporting the community, especially during times when many families are trying to stretch their budgets. Unfortunately, many of the prices here feel much closer to what you'd find in an antique or resale shop. I would honestly suggest renaming it to something like "Bridge Resale Store" because I think that would better reflect what customers can expect. It's still a great place to shop if you're looking for unique or vintage items, but if you're expecting traditional thrift store pricing, you may leave disappointed. I enjoy visiting and appreciate the staff and the quality of the merchandise--I just wish the pricing better matched the mission and expectations that come with the word "thrift."

They had a bunch of stuff that you could easily fit to different aesthetics depending on what you like or how you dress, i ended up getting some smaller things like a rabbit keychain and a beavis shirt, but i did score on some cooler stuff like a pair of older converse and a barcelona 2016/2017 away game jersey, the converse and the jersey were both definitely a score since both were not priced too badly, a lot of their things werent too overpriced, obviously some things are a bit more because a lot of pieces are vintage and its a store in hollywood so its expected to be a little pricier but it wasnt anything bank breaking. Staff was super cool and nice! There were two main girls working when i went who were both super kind and friendly, i think when staff are friendlier it definitely makes it easier to shop, the girl who was checking me out also gave me free discounts and was super helpful since it was my first time in this store , also for any first timers they do make you check your bag when you first walk in, they do have a sign outside thankfully but they just keep your bag just in case anyone wants to take anything but theyre super nice about it Overall great store, i dont really get how this place has bad reviews but maybe i got lucky with super sweet staff and everyone has their experiences, definitely coming back though, staff was nice, prices werent too bad and it has a big variety of different pieces
