I was passing by and as I had never seen this one before I went in. Has all the characteristics of a SA thrift store. Messy housewares. check. Some prices are wacky. check.

What a sad, sad disappointment this store was…read more My wife and I were doorbusters and excited that the store reopened today. But, the prices were over-inflated on ALL items. No signs on the racks of clothes as far as sizes...You have to look through each and every item. And as far as over-inflated prices, one shirt (Second-Hand mind you) was priced at $28!! I realize that business prices have gone up due to the pandemic..But to pay $28, $16 and $12 for a secondhand shirt, CMON!

I absolutely adore this place. I'm a local of the neighborhood and have been visiting this shop…read moresince the late 2010s (through one of its name changes). They have an amazing selection of vintage clothing, belts, and various knickknacks. Everything is curated beautifully and I'm always able to find something unexpected. The basement is full of books, records, VHS tapes, DVDs, and miscellaneous home goods. I didn't get the chance to get the woman who was working there's name, but she was very welcoming and kind - I was in the basement going through the books for well over an hour, and I never once got the vibe that I was overstepping. Definitely a hidden gem worth checking out.

I am apalled they claim to be a thrift store because the prices are outrageous calling themselves a THRIFT store is honestly misleading. Thrift shopping is supposed to offer affordability, especially for those who need it most. Instead, this felt like a resale boutique with thrift store branding. Charging premium prices for donated, secondhand goods is not just bad business--it's out of touch and disappointing. Save your time (and money) and dont expect to find reasonable prices

Each vintage shop will have their own preferred style, so a vintage shop may be great but just not the kind of clothing you'd personally care to buy. In my case, Vintage Frills definitely has a style that's up my alley! All the clothing is organized by color, which makes for a pretty store layout. They add their own labels to each item that gives a quick rundown (decade, brand, material and any possible issues)--but, of course, make sure to inspect any piece you'd like to buy! I think it would be a good improvement to add some kind of Velcro strip to the fitting room or a loop to the curtain to have a more secure hold. Definitely a shop I'll head to every so often when the stock refreshes!
