Beautiful and very well-collected vintage shop! My daughter was looking for a prom dress and she wanted to buy vintage. We were all over LA looking for one and we found this one in Orange County drove down here not knowing what to expect, well was, I surprised to find not only this shop but many others in this area, but this one was beautifully done. The sales people were lovely, welcoming, and knowledgeable. We didn't find the prom dress, but we did find a great store and we will come back again. read more

DO NOT SHOP HERE UNLESS YOU ENJOY BEING RIPPED OFF! They sound like they love using the tag line of something being "rare" to get you to purchase their overpriced items. I came here on Wednesday 5/27 and was excited to show this place to another vintage loving friend. We were having a good time selecting pieces and shopping around. I had brought a blouse up to the counter that I noticed was priced as a 2 piece set , but there was no second piece attached to the hanger. I asked the woman at the counter if they knew where it was as I would've gladly preferred the set. She went over to ask the owner and when she came back she said they couldn't sell it until they located the second piece as it was a set. (It was priced as $88) which would've been too high to purchase as a single item anyway. Then she said something that we found completely appalling "unless we don't find the missing piece , you can purchase the top alone for $100) excuse me?? How does that make sense-- it's missing the pantsuit so you want to overcharge me? When we asked how they thought that was fair , she responded with "well it's a really RARE item" and we said it WAS RARE now how do you manage to mark up the price when it's missing the set ?? We both LAUGHED and She said "I'm sorry you feel that way" the audacity of them having a sign outside their shop that reads about supporting community when they demonstrate bad business practices such as this. We thought about putting all of our items back because we thought that was ludicrous on their part. But , we did spend so much time there .. in the end my friend put back a couple items she had planned on purchasing because she was so shocked that they thought that would fly with us ... Just calling something "RARE" does not excuse marking something up on the spot especially after the fact it's actually worth less now that we know it's actually missing a piece. Smh. Because of this we both won't be returning. There are plenty of beautifully curated vintage shops elsewhere who don't have bad business practice. Let me suggest a few other places for you to check out : Jet Rag, space city Vintage, American Vintage, Starday, Avalon Vintage, Sneaky Tiki just to name a few! :) read more

When you have two teenage girls, you have two live Instagrams for teen fashion trends. They both like thrifting, so do I. So when Uncle Bill mentioned during the " Sponge 2" movie that Burbank has tons of thrift stores, we knew we'd make a trip here. Here were we on a rainy Sunday morning checking out the thrift stores at Burbank. Since there are few stores on Magnolia blvd, we strolled up and down this street because of the different stores hours. We hit the Goodwill first which opens at 10am. This store is clean and well organized. You can get the best priced items here. We then visited the Best of times, this is also our favorite because the owner is so friendly! She has light classic music playing in the background and willing to forego the tax for cash payments. Small store though. The playclothes have a very attractive window display. The items here are somewhat pricey:$30 and up. You find yourself travel back in time to the 1900s-1980s which in itself is a treat. They have a large collections of vintage hats; also has suits, costumes, shoes, accessories for men, women, and children. Young attendants, large store space. The last store was " it's a wrap" selling items from the movie sets/productions. We went a few days after the New Year and there was a 75% markdown. They have some pieces priced as high as in the thousands. I don't like this store, it's small , you can't escape the sweaty smell from the clothes. It's a no return for me. I will take more pictures next time when we visit of the stores that we like. read more

Nothing prepared me for the vintage scene in Burbank. I stayed nearby and made several trips to the strip. But Playclothes stole the show. There is so much to see here that I spent my entire first afternoon in the store. I got to chatting with the wonderful ladies who work there. I tried on some amazing pieces that didn't all work. But if I'd only been a little skinnier and with narrower shoulders, I would have walked out with some amazing pieces. The jewelry section is almost overwhelming. I got some really cool accoutrements. The building is absolutely stunning. I also appreciated the packaging. This is just the kind of store I could spend hours and hours in and keep coming back for more. And hopefully, I will be! read more

What a wonderful find! It's at the end of the clothing strip, and you might give up on the costume or vintage look you're digging for just before walking the extra block. But don't be discouraged! I was heading to a Great Gatsby themed dinner party the next day and I couldn't find what I needed anywhere. In my dejected state, I found myself at Playclothes 20 minutes before closing. I had asked a couple friends if they'd help me find the right look, but they weren't available which ended up not being a problem, because Christine, (I hope I remembered your name correctly, Chris's unite!), saw the despair in my eyes and helped me start to finish find the right look! I ended up being there 20 minutes after they closed, (sorry everyone, I'm sure you wanted to go home!), trying stuff on, and they even gave me the tie we picked out for free because it wasn't up to their standard. I never leave reviews, but this place and my fellow Chris really deserve it! read more

Playclothes - (Don't judge the pants, I had them already) - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Burbank, California

I've come in and out of this store for the past couple years and it's a very interesting store. It's all vintage and there's something to see in literally every corner. It's almost like a little vintage museum. The service on the other hand is kind of odd, almost every time I come in I'm never greeted. Not even a hello, just sort of making me feel a little unwelcome here. This will probably be my last time coming in here. read more

This is fun, spunky, and fabulous local gem. The vintage wardrobe collection here is stunning and impressive. I can't imagine all the work it takes to build up this collection of vintage suits, dresses, hats, jewelry, trinkets, and other apparel. You can tell from the details that go into just the aesthetic of this shop that these people are passionate about design, fashion, and everything vintage, from the vintage chandelier and the art on the ceiling to the perfectly curated outfits on the mannequins. Every year for Halloween they transform this place with an entire collection of Halloween costumes and accessories that the owner spends time gathering throughout the years. Not only are the prices for all these Halloween items very reasonable and high-quality, but it's also a great second-hand option. read more

Such a fun place to shop! The ladies working at Playclothes are super knowledgeable in vintage and passionate about the clothes they have! They are organized by era and style which makes it exciting to go from rack to rack. The prices were pretty good and they do have some designer options! I highly recommend stopping by, there are so many unique pieces and you'll definitely enjoy an afternoon there read more

This place is more of a horror maze than a store: - mannequins everywhere, including a large easter bunny costume sitting casually on a couch, could someone be in there? - i only had interaction with one employee and they had jumpscared me to accost me for a handbag that fell (no damage) and it was very rude and uncomfortable. - hard to move around in/explore any racks due to the large surplus of items (no turn around due to prices?), so you're always grazing by things. - not budget friendly or plus size friendly. I spent 10 minutes in this place. I wouldn't recommend. read more

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ARE POC! I wish those words wouldn't have to be said but from my experience yesterday it is needed! As soon as i walked in with my partner (i'm hispanic and very obviously tan) the white lady at the front looked us up and down with an ugly face didn't say a word and went back to her conversation with her back turned to us as if we were invisible and this wasn't the first time I laughed because that behavior is ridiculous if you can't be professional at your place of business and are clearly prejudice as all the other reviews can contest to than you might as well shut down! This is embarrassing for the owners as they seem to make constant excuses for their employees lack of respect and total racism. If poc can't come in without being stared at you might as well have a sign out front saying we aren't welcomed. Some people aren't as nice as i am and that attitude needs to be fixed before someone fixes it for YOU! also half the shit in here is disintegrating and has dry rot! SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ELSEWHERE unless you like supporting racist. They also delete google reviews read more

I have been coming to Playclothes for at least 20 years. If you are into vintage fashion expertly curated, this is the place. You will feel like you walked into an old Hollywood movie. It is true glamour, and there are plenty of staff there who will help you find a look and put a look together. I bought accessories from here for evening wear and also for some themed parties - think Mad Men chic. They sometimes have events and fashion shows. It truly feels like the Disneyland of fashion! read more

Magnolia Park has the best vintage stores in town in my opinion! Playclothes has been around for a while, but I never had a chance to check it out till recently. If you need a costume for a movie, for a party (themed party), Halloween, look no more! This place has a bit of everything, all organized, per decade, so your search should be easy! They also have fitting rooms, a major plus! OK prices, nice customer service, street parking! Great place to browse, shop at, try things on, it could be a party anytime you want it LOL! read more

I'm just not happy that you are not open before noon. Walked over way too early. Ended up at the bagel shop and would much rather have invested the money at PCV. Love the two tall cake stands in the window. read more

I had an extremely disappointing experience at Playclothes in Burbank. As I approached the entrance, a man named Tom, instead of greeting me as a potential customer, immediately rushed over to stop me from entering only to turn his attention toward a random white woman walking her dog in a halloween costume on the sidewalk and invite her inside over me. She wasn't waiting in line, wasn't even near the door, just passing by with her dog. He then proceeded to assualt me on the sidewalk of the building to which I immediately notified the owner Wanda. It was a blatant display of selective "customer service" that made it very clear who was welcome and who wasn't. Regardless of intent, the optics and behavior spoke volumes. In 2025, this kind of treatment should have no place in any business, especially one that claims to be welcoming to all. As of today, the owner, wanda, issued me an apology over the phone and blamed his behavior on the high stress levels of halloween shoppers. read more

Playclothes Vintage is a fun vintage clothing store on the west end of Burbank, on Magnolia. Beautiful vintage clothing and accessories are everywhere, as far as the eye can see. Staff is very helpful and lots of fun and all wearing vintage clothing and costume! I came in here to get a roaring 20s dress, and wound up getting a hat, kitten-heeled Mary Janes, , and cigarette holder too. You do not need to shop here only if you are looking for a costume. They are a beautiful clothing of every era. Go for it! Buy something for every day from the '40s or '50s or '60s or '70s! I wear my vintage Maryjanes all the time. my next purchase is going to be a poodle skirt. The best thing about this store is that you will definitely walk out feeling pretty and feeling happy. read more

Literally have NO IDEA what these people are on about in previous reviews. The store is absolutely loaded with gems and the prices are very reasonable considering it's true vintage, and in great condition at that. I am convinced these other people have never shopped for vintage anywhere beyond Goodwill. I also don't understand how you can complain about the volume of items when I found pieces from every decade of the 19th century and again, in wonderful condition. I had no issues with customer service either, as the girls were friendly and obliging. read more

Amazing selection of vintage clothes - love that each era is color coded with tags and notes about the items! I ended up finding the perfect black dress there and there were so many cute options to look through; they do have fitting rooms - which is a bonus - but it may be a bit of a wait for one! The employees were all very kind and helpful when I had questions! Definitely a great spot to check out of your want affordable vintage statement pieces! read more

The good: some real fun and interesting pieces! I left with something fun and unique. Prices seem fair. The bad: - This place is really disorganized, like.. fire hazard disorganized. Entering the back areas requires walking between precarious narrow paths and walking over clothes and random other knick knacks on the ground. - Employees working at the front (not the ones of the floor, who were friendly) were totally inattentive to me and.. iunno.. slow and lost in the sauce. I'm pretty sensitive to people that treat different people differently.. if you know what I mean. Based on previous comments it looks like I'm not the only one who's noticed this pattern. I was excited to leave with a cool new piece, and I'm still excited to wear it, but how I was treated left a bad taste in my mouth and I'd hesitate to go back for this reason. read more

Do not come here this ladies are rude ... unless you are blonde you get treated really bad. Even if you look like a junkie but you are blonde they are nice. I was carrying 5 k ready to buy but they are so rude every time I'm in there.... There was another Latina in there ... she stayed to buy... I'm out. read more

Playclothes - Why do I come here - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Burbank, California

My best friend George (RIP) took me to this place back in 2018. I still thank him from above till this day that he took me here. I'll spend a few hours here every time he took me here. I spent fortunes here too. He knew I was a big fan of vintage. My closet is filled with vintage clothes from fair prices to designer prices. I will pay big time for vintage clothes. My friends all say I have an old soul for one of these reasons. I love vintage cottage core pieces aka granny style clothing, but what can I say? I'm a sucker for these types of clothing. I've bought many things here, and I will continue too. I've bought Brazilian crocodile bags here, vintage bags here, vintage clothes like dresses and blazers. I'm literally obsessed with every item I bought here. They have a variety of clothing here. Vintage coats, vintage dresses, vintage hats, vintage jewelry. They even have some old tv shoes clothing items here brought by the television studios nearby. Every time I come here, as I've said, I can spend 2 hours almost just looking around. They have so many treasures. I wish everything was in my size especially the shoes! I can't forget how many times I've saw a pair of shoes that weren't my size, and I wish I can fit into them! The owner is always so sweet to me also. Her cat also guards the door or the store. It's a quiet cat but she likes to roam around. This one time, I thought it was just a stuff animal but it moved and scared me a little but she is adorable. If you are into vintage items, you will love this store. I tell my friends about them all the time. I hope to be back again one day. I wanna find myself a new dress and shoes. Parking isn't that much a problem. It's street parking but they also have a small back lot parking. Even on busy weekends, we were able to find parking within 10-15 minutes. Happy Shopping!!!! read more

Any day on the Magnolia vintage strip is a good one. There's so many fabulous shops to see but the one I always make sure to visit is Playclothes. They have the biggest selection, reasonable prices, and the sweetest staff! Everything is labeled by decade which I think is just the cutest extra touch. I have gotten many hats, bags, and jewelry from here and they are some of my favorite pieces I have ever owned. The dream is to own a closet full of Playclothes merch!! read more

I come to this store every few months to see what they have & there's always something cute for me to buy. I think I'm in my old-lady phase rn because I'm obsessed with handbags lately. I can never get used to the mannequins, though. I get startled everytime! read more

PLAY AROUND WITH VINTAGE FASHION Step into another era at the quixotic vintage fashion store, Playclothes, on the corner of Magnolia and Fairview. Visual delights beckon from every corner of this fantastic mecca. If you're looking for a stellar dress from the 40s, a ball gown from the 50s, some slacks from the 70s, a coat from the 80s and more, stop here first! You'll have to flick through every kind of piece you're searching for as they don't seem to be organized by size. Their remarkable clothes are in great condition, which is reflected in their high prices. Pet the resident cat while you debate about that dazzling $100+ little black outfit.

I've lived in Burbank for over 15 years and always wanted to visit the store. Got the chance to go in today. Wasn't greeted but others behind me were, no one tried to help although I walked through their many isles and got a snotty vibe from the staff and left. Not worth spending my time and money here. Obviously not all clientele is their "type" so I'm not interested in ever visiting again read more

Halloween is only a few days away and perhaps the majority is ready with their costumes for the awaited trick or treat event. However, for those who procrastinated and still searching for the right costume, head out to this place because most likely, your regular Halloween stores have low stocks by now. Here you will find clothes from all era and generations. Don't fret on searching high and low because the store is very well organized. Clothes are neatly arranged per era for your shopping convenience. The store also carries the perfect accessories to complete your look, purse, shoes, hats, etc. There are dressing rooms provided to try the clothes on. The ladies working in the store are very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful in finding the right stuff for you to stand out in the Halloween crowd. PS.

Condescending, unprofessional. I'm looking to sell a few designer items. If you know about resale in Los Angeles, you know that you have to target certain shops because not every vintage or consignment shop will have the same need for the items you plan to sell or consign. I called the shop to inquire about selling in late October. I was told I needed an appointment. When I said I had one item only, I was told I could email "Wanda" at the company website. I sent the email ... silence. The following week I sent a follow-up email in the morning. Half the day went by without any response from Wanda. So I called and asked whether Wanda or someone else at the company had checked my email. I was told they were extremely busy the past few days and that Wanda would respond "later in the evening." Again, no response. Today is Sunday and I believe I spoke to the same sales associate the I spoke to on the two previous occasions. I mentioned the above and was told that they have been doing a lot of moving/reshuffling (as if that's the customer's or prospective seller's problem). I asked, is Wanda now no longer interested in the item? Why would I be directed to email someone who is presumably monitoring the inbox only to be ignored on multiple occasions? I was told condescendingly "I don't know if Wanda changed her mind, only Wanda would know that." Complete lack of professionalism. When I said "I'd like to make an appointment to bring in the item," I was told Wanda likes to see a lot of items, which response thereby stonewalled any efforts at all to have this item seen and assessed. To Wanda/management: Disappointing final phone call, disappointing experience. Do a better job of treating prospective sellers fairly, with respect. I cannot support your business. read more

One of the very best vintage stores in the Los Angeles area. Think of it as a museum of fashion where you can buy the exhibits. As soon as you walk in the door, you can see the quality everywhere, including the building itself. A former showroom for fancy architectural molding and wood floors, the space is a wonderland of crown moldings, painting ceilings and chandeliers. It looks like a set designer's idea of a palatial boutique from the past that's as spectacular as its contents. But, the clothes and accessories are also spectacular. If you like vintage, this is truly about as good as it gets. These were high-end clothes (not all designer or couture, but beautiful design and construction). The condition of the items are so good they all tend to look like new! And they're displayed in charming tableaux that bring the past back to life. If I hadn't been shopping with a mission for back to school clothes, I could easily have spent hours there--I will go back and do just that. A surprising and delightful place, run by very nice people. read more

Fun shop I found on Yelp as I wanted to check out some vintage shops while visiting Los Angeles. This is more within the Burbank area but man, oh, man is it worth checking out. This shop is very well organized and each article of clothing has the decade it's from and for vintage pieces not only are they priced fair they're in great condition. The team here is passionate and all have an appreciation for the clothing. They told me the owner is actually from New Orleans and throws a Mardi Gras party out in the shop. How cool is that! During our visit the display was Mardi Gras themed and damn those costumes would've been a hit here in New Orleans. I do believe it may be the personal collection of the owner. If you're trying on clothes take an extra few minutes (if time permits) and explore the dressing room. It has so much personality to it and it's a vintage collectors dream. Certain I spent more time looking around the dressing room (it's set up like an actor's dressing room) than I did trying on two pieces of clothes. I actually found a Mardi Gras piece here and can't wait for everyone to see it. Walk around and explore the different rooms there's bound to be something for you. Whether it's a new staple piece for your closet or that special article of clothing for a costume. You're bound to find something here. read more

I used to come to this store religiously, but I think they've fallen quite a bit in my opinion. Their sales associate was quite rude when I went in and while they used to have a lot of the vintage clothes I was interested in, they no longer have the clothes that I am interested in. I used to love the women who worked in here, but it seems that since COVID hit they have changed quite a bit. I'm not sure what happened, but I would say they have about half the amount of clothes they used to. They have a lot of home goods, which are fine, but the title is literally "Playclothes" implying they'd have more clothes than they did. To be honest, if I'm going to get vintage home goods, there are other places I'm going that are far more affordable in price. I'm super disappointed since coming here. Almost any antique store has a better selection than this store. The only difference is they have a (smaller) selection of clothes. As far as the clothing goes, it seems like the quality has also gone downhill. They had nowhere near the same quality or selection they had before, and the decades were far more mixed in. For the record, some of my absolute favorite dresses and skirts came from this establishment, so I am so incredibly disappointed that I am writing this review. I hate to say this, but at this point if you're looking for vintage clothing I'd definitely recommend hitting up other stores or online stores. They seem to be about the same price but with way more selection. Perhaps if they change their store back to what it used to be I would be happy going here, but as of right now, I'll definitely avoid it. read more

So take these 5 stars with a grain of salt, because I just went here for my first time, and only to buy a $5 scarf box (after calling them the day before to see if they had one). But I couldn't not write this because this place is too cool. The vibe of the store is ridiculously welcoming and it just makes you wanna buy everything in it! I'm not remotely knowledgeable when it comes to vintage clothes, but it seemed like there was a bunch of good-quality funky/different stuff you might not find other places. It isn't all clothes, though, there's also jewelry, ceramics, knickknacks, all that kind of vintage stuff. I looked at some old make-up compacts (something I do know a little about) and their small collection had some really nice pieces. Which makes sense, since the store isn't huge, so they likely decided not to waste any floor space with crap. (it's actually bigger than you think it is, though - an illusion created by how comfortable you feel there) For my little $5 box transaction, I also borrowed some tape and scissors (I brought gift wrap with me), and while doing all that, I ended up talking with three separate employees, ALL of whom were warm and friendly and fantastic. I live 20-ish minutes away, but the next time I need some sort of quirky/cool gift, I will absolutely browse through here again. read more

Went out on the night for Food Truck Friday's in Burbank. I have never heard if this so it was nice to walk around and see what Burbank has to offer. Typically during the day, I pass these places but have no clue what types of businesses they are. What a difference nighttime makes! All the stores are lit up and Magnolia comes to life. A ton of cute boutiques, eateries and thrift stores! Even a costume store! I am definitely going to keep this street in mind when I just want to take my time and stroll around. read more

So the story goes...I arrived in search of a dress for a prom-themed party. My only inspiration was Andie (Molly Ringwald) from PRETTY IN PINK. I told this to the sales lady who directed me to the 80s racks. She was attentive, but not overbearing. When she left me to browse in solitude, it only took me about 30 seconds to locate the perfect dress: a black/lavender, lace/tulle, ankle-length, strapless Betsey Johnson. After trying it on, I revealed the look to the sales ladies who all applauded my choice sincerely. One suggested I get some black, finger-less lace gloves and a tiara to accessorize, so after making my purchase I skipped across the street to the Halloween store to complete my look. A note on sizing, which I hear can be complicated here...my dress is technically a 4, but I typically wear a 6. It fits like a glove. Just try it on...but don't force it! I didn't go to my high school prom, and I couldn't have imagined a more magical dress! This Saturday will be a night to remember...thank you Playclothes! read more
