Very safe place for shopping therapy. And you can discover great designer frocks, coats, and especially jumpsuits at affordable prices.

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.

Last summer, I went to Trove and bought the cutest red leather jacket. I also found Gucci sandals…read more The problem was there was only sandal. They took my phone number and said they would call when they found the match. I gave them my number and about a week later, they called and had found the match. I returned and bought it. Yesterday, we went there and bought a few things. Super cute stuff and fun to shop. My daughter found new Stan Smith Adidas. They couldn't sell them because they lost the key to unlock the block thing that the alarm goes off if cut. Again, I gave my number and today, they called and found the key. Went back and got the adidas.

Raggedy Threads is my favorite vintage store in L.A. - no contest. Don't let this tiny little store…read more- located in a tiny little corner of Little Tokyo - fool you: It's like a treasure trove of rare finds. I've been on a huge vintage kick lately, so this store has been my go-to source for old tees. My reasons for going vintage are primarily environmental since the carbon footprint and resources needed to make new clothes are substantial - and incredibly wasteful when there's so much awesome used clothing out there. Another reason: Your friends can't copy your style. Most recently, I picked up a few tees from the 1970s and 80s. Being in L.A. they get a lot of local and California vintage shirts with logos, designs, and jokes that only true Californians would get. I couldn't resist buying a Castroville "Giant Artichoke" tee they had over the summer. Personally, I tend to gravitate towards regional finds like these because they bring back such great memories of my youth and of family road trips up and down my home state. They also carry old college (Go Bears!), high school, and everyone's favorite - summer camp tees. Plus, you cannot beat the vintage fit from the 70s/80s. Caveat: Today's "S" is equivalent to an "M" or bigger because people were presumably thinner back then. So do your part for the environment and look effortlessly stylish doing it by shopping used and vintage! And there's no better place in L.A. for this than Raggedy Threads.

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. Military discounts are available Looking for a thrifting adventure, "May the force be with you!"

Super cute vintage store with great variety. Definitely…read moreworth checking out if you're looking for some quality vintage pieces!
