This place is hands down the best and the kind of local small business I love supporting! The shop has such an amazing selection of vintage clothing and unique finds. I met Matt today and he immediately felt like a friend (instead of just an employee) he was welcoming, genuinely helpful, and gave my daughter an honest inspiring compliment that made her feel special and brightened her day. You can definitely tell how much care and passion goes into this business. I have also met the owners and they are great people too. It's clear that they truly care about their customers and their community. Every visit is a great experience. If you love vintage clothing and supporting local small businesses, I highly recommend checking this place out ! read more

Scorpio Rising has a great selection of unique vintage clothing, and the store is well organized, making it easy to browse. There are definitely some one-of-a-kind pieces that you won't find anywhere else. My only disappointment was the customer service. When I came in, I wasn't made to feel welcome. The staff member looked at me and walked away without checking in or offering any assistance. A friendly greeting would have made the experience much more enjoyable. That said, if you're looking for distinctive vintage finds, it's still worth a visit for the selection alone. read more

Scorpio Rising - Women's Clothing Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Scorpio Rising is such a unique and wonderful shop! The selection is always interesting, eclectic, and full of one-of-a-kind finds, but what really stands out to me is the welcoming atmosphere and the people who work here. I've personally seen the care, kindness, and respect shown to customers from all walks of life. The staff takes pride in the shop, genuinely enjoys interacting with people, and works hard to make everyone feel welcome while still taking care of the store. The value is fantastic, especially considering the quality and uniqueness of what you can find here. There is a great range of items and price points, and part of the fun is discovering something special that you simply aren't going to find at a typical retail store. Whether you're looking for an affordable vintage find or a truly unique statement piece, there's something for everyone. It's incredibly easy to make assumptions about someone based on one interaction, but that has never reflected the experiences I've witnessed here. I've seen patience, humor, generosity, and genuine kindness shown again and again. If you love vintage, thrifted treasures, unique clothing, great value, and supporting a local Tacoma business with personality, Scorpio Rising is absolutely worth stopping into. I highly recommend giving this shop a visit and experiencing it for yourself. read more

I had previously positive experiences at Scorpio Rising and recommended to my partner that we go there instead of another thrift store during our Saturday strolling on 6th Avenue. Upon our entrance we were ignored by the staffer on site while we shopped. I had previously encountered female staff at Scorpio but this time it was a male. He was busy flirting with a group of women and completely ignored us. He in turn let those women try on a large amount of clothes without asking them how many items they had. When my partner went to try on her clothing selections which consisted of two pieces, he loudly and rudely asked her what items she had and acted as though she was going to steal in front of the whole store. She told him what she had selected, tried on the items and decided on one of the items. While we were looking at other items, an African American woman asked the staffer about the price of a pair of boots and the staffer dismissively told her "I don't know the price but I know we will need at least $350". It felt flippant and racist. While we were in the process of checking out, the gentleman started to tell a story about a teal jumpsuit we had been looking out right before walking up to the counter, he referred to it as a dress and her response was simply "oh actually I was looking at the jumpsuit next to the dress." He immediately snapped with a clearly snarky attitude saying "oh ok" with a sarcastic laugh, he paused for a second while looking at us and then said "actually never mind to the story" as if to say I'm not engaging in friendly banter with you any longer. The moment he said never mind the girls standing next to us, that he had been flirting with prior, also started laughing. It was clear that he was upset and getting red in the face. My partner and I are both Black, we feel as though we and the woman looking at the boots would have been treated differently if we were Caucasian like the group of women that the White male staffer was flirting with. It's unfortunate but we will never shop at this thrift store any longer. read more

Staff on 12/4 after 5pm did not even attempt to be welcoming or helpful. I came into the store and said hello and literally neither worker said anything. At first I thought maybe I made a mistake and they worked there because they were trying on clothes. Nope they work there. I was there 20 minutes before two additional customers came in. Seems like the other customers may know the workers or be regulars because they all of a sudden became super chatty. I decided not to buy because I couldn't justify spending the amount I had in my hand with such poor service. Especially as the items required some work. Was hoping to find some good vintage shops in Tacoma but no luck with this one. ** edit: it was a female working the register. read more

Cool store! I did see quite a few items that, although vintage, had rips/holes/stains. Pricing is that of vintage, not thrift. I got a beautiful leather embossed purse, crochet sweater, and floral overall shorts and my total was about $85. The owner is really sweet and I'm happy to support a small business. I look forward to stopping by the next time I'm in the area. read more

This local spot is truly a hidden gem. If you're looking for new and trendy aesthetics or vintage and stylish pieces at a fair price this is the place. The owners are young and very passionate about their business, as well as the employees, very charismatic and knowledgeable. A go-to spot for my endlessly expanding closet. read more

I had an awesome experience at my last visit to Scorpio! I regret not asking for their name, but the employee working today (12/31) was so incredibly nice and went above and beyond to help me find a solution to my payment error. I tried using my card to pay, but my bank blocked the transaction due to "suspected fraud". After several attempts, I pulled my cash out and accepted that I'd need to put a few things back on the rack.... BUT!!! The employee was already in communication with her boss and told me that they might be able to make it work (bringing the total down to what I had in cash). Indeed, the boss gave them the go ahead and I was able to pay $94 cash for my total that was initially $113! Thank you so much!! You guys made my entire week! :) read more

Hands down my favorite place to shop!! Not only do they hand pick these amazing vintage pieces, they are the sweetest and most attentive staff. I always have a great experience here and end up with the best fits. To be honest I wish I lived closer to shop here more often. 5/5 stars a must when in Tacoma read more

Scorpio Rising - How perfect is this signage?! - Women's Clothing Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

My absolute favorite place to buy clothing from. When I moved here it was one of the first places that made me feel like I belong in WA. The owner is a sweetheart and goes above & beyond to make her customers happy. The girls are always helpful & give you tips on vintage sizing. They continue to surprise me and I'm thankful to see them flourish even during these hard time. read more

I love this vintage thrift store! In fact I love the vintage stores here in the Seattle area and the Pacific Northwest in general. All the magazines, movies and such that pride themselves on items that they got at vintage stores they actually have here in stock! I especially love Scorpio Rising because I could tell immediately that it is an homage to the the Kenneth Anger movie of the same name and that makes me love the store even more. They have a vibe I can highly appreciate! The location here used to be called Retrofit which also was a vintage store. I believe it is owned by the same person but I'm not 100% sure on that. The merchandise here rocks! They have a huge selection of old band t-shirts (Like a Faith No More t-shirt, ooooo!), an impressive flannel shirt inventory and much, much more. I automatically loved this place even before I walked in. read more

Friendly people wish they had more of a selection and that the prices where not so high

Every time one of my friends who aren't from Tacoma comes here to visit I always wanna show them Scorpio rising! It's my favorite store here. I've gotten a lot of vintage clothing that I love from here and I get along so well with everyone who works here. During COVID everyone wears masks and they have hand sanitizer by the door! It's wonderful. :) read more

Came in to sell 3-4 different occasions & EVERYtime - nothing was taken. They say everything has to be before the 1990's & I've came in w/ older vintage clothes but gotten same results. I honestly get the vibe that they only buy from friends or the same faces that always come in. Easier to say no to strangers right? Also come to find out, the male co-owner of the store always sources through Goodwill Outlets aka the 'Bins' & gets most of their inventory through that method. It's by weight & pretty much a T-Shirt is like 35 cents a pop. I know they're going to simp about giving a "small family owned business" 1 star during Covid but when someone brings better & better stuff to sell everytime then you tell them the SAME line just to basically shew them away - what's expected ? & Also, it was all the same before Covid. Save your time & efforts. Take a trip to U-District & sell to Red Light (appointment based), you'll walk out LEAST $100 from my experiences. read more

Awesome little vintage store with incredible selection of everything from vintage shoes, to cool band tee shirts, to jackets... their selection of fedora's is sure to make you euphoric. I'm a kid of the 80s, and when i was there I nostalgia'd hard on some hypercolor shirts, amongst some other things. Really, there's a little bit of everything, and whats important is that everything seems to be really high quality, which is tough when you're talking about vintage cloth. This place is the embodiment of 6th ave in a clothing store. read more

I've had an okay experience here. I came in with an awesome small vintage sweater that my daughter paid $50 plus for in Portland, and I know it's a 70's or 80's design. I also had a LL Bean sweater, looked vintage, 100% wool. She did not take either item and said her boss said she would "pass". I've sold vintage goods over the years and was really surprised they couldn't give me store credit and trade. I probably will not attempt again. Nothing worse then people turning their nose up to your goods. In all my items are at least worth $100, so I will sell on Ebay. I find some off their items overpriced. read more

Amazing store , tons of options and styles! Prices fair especially for how incredible some of the garments are definitely coming back every time I'm in town read more

This place is AWESOME!! So many good finds for vintage gear all in great shape. The store was well organized and a blast to look through. Talk about taking a walk down memory lane! Lol the owner is super friendly and helpful too. Picked up a really cool vintage Seahawks shirt, Dallas Cowboys shirt and a Washington Huskies hat. The prices are unbeatable! I live in LA and have found similar shirts for $100+ whereas my most expensive piece from Scorpio Rising was $15! Apparently they add roughly 500 pieces a week to their collection so I'm sure it's impossible to walk in without finding something you love. Can't wait to come back and see what's new! read more

I love the vintage styles available at Scorpio Rising! A little pricey, but they make sure you are satisfied with the sale. Well worth the investment. read more

Great selection and reasonably priced. Employees were super friendly. Found some great pieces that were in great shape.

Daughter loved this place, found some good stuff. The Jeans selection were great, nice staff and nice decor.

Great little vintage shop! Well organized and nice staff, I felt like pricing was pretty standard and the stuff they had was unique. I got a pair of Levi's that I loooove for 30 dollars, I've paid way more at other places in the past! I will continue shopping here for sure read more

Wow, wow, WOW! My daughter and I stumbled into this delightful shop this afternoon. We were blown away by the quality, and quantity of the items here! You can tell the owners take great pride in the selection and material they sell here! Everything is TRULY vintage. Priced high? Yes, a bit, but they aren't selling cheap reproductions! The items on sale here are NOT coming back! I will go back to this place again and again...and although My first reaction after shopping here is to NOT share with anyone and to keep this blessed establishment to myself...I feel that everyone should know about this place! Thank you so much for taking such pride in your business, for taking the time to really sort and price everything with care, and thank you most of all for EXISTING! Ps...I love the JRR Tolkien shirt above the counter! I almost wanted to remove a star for it not being for sale...but I wouldn't sell it either! Muah muah muah read more

This is one of my favorite vintage stores. They have a well curated selection of items with really fair prices. The best part of shopping here is the staff. They've always been very kind and helpful. Even if I don't find anything I want to purchase I still enjoy visiting! read more

The most thoughtfully curated selection of cool vintage clothing, shoes and accessories in town, by a mile. The owners are very kind people and have a fantastic eye. The pricing is extremely reasonable for the quality of the items. These are, after all, valuable vintage pieces so you may occassionally find something rare with a high dollar sign, but I've never seen anything there that wasn't on-point, pricewise. The tee-shirt selection is especially exciting and rather expansive, and is consistently replenished with fresh finds. There's a little something for most folks who dig vintage wear, but I'd say those in the discerning hip crowd will have no problem finding plenty of proper gear. The service here is also great- they're all very knowlegeable and not pushy but not snobby either, should you need a question answered. Highly recommend a pop-in! read more

PURELY FROM A CUSTOMER INTERACTION AND SERVICE STANDPOINT THIS PLACE IS A FAIL. Vintage shops dont usually take the pride she does on the buying end, shes very subjective as she is allowed to be but mainly hypocritical. I loved the jackets she had and this is a rare place to find an equally fire mens and womens selection in the area since women seem to be priority at most second hand locations. read more

Walked in here the other day and I'm in love with this place! I found the coolest items here, true vintage. I'll be back for more!

Amazing vintage store with reasonable prices. Great and friendly staff. They are really dedicated to helping people.

Great selection of vintage clothing, would definitely go back if the employee's weren't so rude. The lady with the long reddish-auburn hair and big earrings is a detriment to the store. She is not welcoming and speaks in a sarcastic, rude tone when you ask clarifying questions about the clothing for sale. Thought I would give this place another try since the style is very similar to my own. Unfortunately I have bad experiences with the employees there everytime I visit. This one was especially uncomfortable. read more

Probably one of my favorite places in the world. I've been meaning to leave a review for months now. This store is priced incredibly fair and if people cant understand why they have to pay certain prices for certain vintage then go back to shopping at the forever 21 or wherever you came from. Both the owners are super cool and stock the shop regularly. Always looking forward to shopping Scorpio Rising! read more

Best vintage clothing shop in Tacoma, maybe even the whole world!! I walked out of there with a whole wardrobe and it was in my budget. And I want to go back for more! I'm sending my husband too, so many rad t shirts. Thank you Ryan for putting amazing style into Tacoma!! read more

This place has a huge selection of vintage clothing. I enjoyed going through their denim jackets/ shirts. The clothes were in good condition considering the fact that they're used/old. The prices are fair and the staff were helpful. I will definitely come back here in the future. read more

Scorpio Rising has the BEST selection of vintage threads in town. What I love about their shop is they handpick each item they bring in and you can tell. So many authentic pieces to choose from and they're constantly bringing in new goods. I used to have to go from antique store, to antique store to thrift shop trying to find good vintage jewelry- they do that for you and put them all in one spot! It's awesome. And they're super helpful and friendly! Check them out! read more

Fantastic, revolving collection of goods mostly from the '60s - '90s. Lots of style, selection and the prices are generally on point. This isn't the Goodwill, this is a vintage resale shop for authentic pieces of wearable history. They have a good eye, check them out! read more

Sweet vintage shop & fun to look around. Took my husband for the first time & on the way in I was telling him how nice the shop owner was the first time I went in. The person there today didn't bother looking up from their phone once, even when I initiated the "Hello, how are you?" ..kind of disappointing after having such a great customer service experience on my first trip. Still a fun shop with comparable prices for funky vintage finds. read more

VERY AWESOME STORE. Bummer is that it caters to vintage sizing so modern XS to M/L. Go there if you want inspiration or a funky wardrobe item. read more

I understand that this is supposed to be a curated, vintage clothing store (with an emphasis on 60s/70s flair, given the name), but I don't understand the pricing. I got a pretty sweet army jacket for $30, which seemed fair, but I came in specifically looking for t-shirts. They have a huge selection, but the cheapest shirt I found was $13. The tag said it was for a "70s camera store", which is nifty, but it had numerous holes and stains. They had a lot of band shirts, but it seemed that the majority were in equally poor condition. A Metallica "...And Justice For All" was $68. It was frayed, with a noticeable hole right in the middle of the print. I feel like I must be missing something, because I could have found similar t-shirts, possibly in even better condition, at Goodwill. I actually did find several vintage shirts (yes, one was a Metallica shirt, this one for "Master of Puppets") at Brandy's Attic later in the day. Yes, they were worn, but that's what makes things so comfy, without holes for extra (unwanted) airflow. I also looked at the flannels, most of which were threadbare and, again, overpriced. I saw one that was so worn it was see-through, with a huge hole in the elbow, and it was $68. I actually did find flannels at Goodwill that were just as comfy and less than $10 each. I also found an awesome 70s jumper that I almost bought, but it was slightly too tight and cost $40. I'm still unsure how I feel about that price... The sizes are also on the smaller end, I saw nothing that would qualify as plus-size. Another joy of vintage shopping, I suppose. I love to sift through things and know that proper thrifting is an art form that requires patience and time. While I appreciate the work that the owner of Scorpio Rising puts into her collection and truly love being able to support small businesses, I do not understand to whom the collection is directed. I guess I just don't quite understand the Culture of Vintage? read more
