Best vintage clothing store in L.A. but don't expect the staff to be friendly or you will be sorely…read moredisappointed.

Ugh. I reiterate the reviews about the employees. My friend and I walked in and there were no…read moreemployees on the floor but there were two in back apparently having a funny conversation. We were there over 15 minutes looking around and they couldn't be bothered. Two girls wanted to buy something, standing at the counter, and were about to leave when finally a SOUR employee came out to ring them up. This isn't like rude servers being funny. This is just a person who seems to hate her job and people. Retail really isn't the job for her. As for the merch, it was okay and the prices were decent enough but I don't shop where I'm not wanted.

Does Flirt Clothing live up to its name?…read more If you're expecting an inanimate building to ask your name and number, then no. And if you're expecting the employees to ask you "come here often?" before motioning the barkeep to bring you another of whatever you're having, then still, NO. Or maybe yes. Just not with me. Pffft. The clothes are definitely fun and flirty, though -- if you wear them. Flirt is the typical Melrose kitsch store -- one-offs and private labels abound. Not too many jean choices (mostly charcoal gray), and not that many T-shirts, but the ones they have will have you going gaga, lady. What's a boy like me doing reviewing an exclusively girl's store? Well, I have no intention of wearing that off-the-shoulder blouse or sundress (hmm... with the right belt and handbag, I -- nevermind), but the store is definitely a pleasant place, even if you're just waiting on girls to finish trying things on. You can stand there awkwardly listening to the early 1990s era boombox that's pumping out KISS FM all day (Lil Wayne seems determined to make me his fan), or check yourself out in the mirrors on the wall. "Oh you are quite the looker, aren't you..." Anyway, speaking of incredible, psychologically unhealthy narcissism (or not, whatever), the pink-curtained dressing rooms have matching pink folding chairs -- everything in the store has either touches or tons of pink, which sounds like a Hello Kitty nightmare but is actually kind of cute in a flamingo-pecked-my-eyes-out way. When you try things on, it's with a soft background of Pepto Bismo, but it does make that hotgasmic pair of koolats stand out in palatial, plaid glory. Sweet Heavens, but you're beautiful. Now close your curtain -- that weird tattoo guy with his tattooier girlfriend can see your thong. Hey, the stuff you're trying on is on sale, too! At least a fourth of the store is half off, so you'll have more money left over to blow on things like shoes, handbags, and rent. Service is fast, friendly, and helpful -- they'll make useful suggestions that aren't lame attempts at plus-selling. Flirt Clothing does lose one star because they forgot to remove a security tag on a $240 hobo bag. Now I'm going to have to come back tomorrow -- with receipt -- to have them remove it because SOMEBODY'S too busy (*cough* gainfully employed) to do so herself. I'm going to play like it's mine. It looks cuter on me anyway :-)

This is a nice store that carries clothing and accessories that you probably won't find at most…read moreother clothing shops on Melrose Ave. Most of the stores on this street tend to carry the same type of clothing. I bought a beautiful purple scarf with brown leopard spots on it the other day. The material was like that of a soft sweater. It was only $19.00. I could've gotten a better deal on it if I bargained with the lady there, but I didn't since the price was already low. Also, she was nice and showed me how to tie it since I wasn't sure how to wear it. I always leave scarves untied up until now. She showed me and it was easier than it I thought it would be. I really appreciated that. Also, it was great that she could actually break a $100.00 bill. Some places can't. If you're not familair with the area, you might not know that due to lots of competition, sometimes the shop owner or manager will give you a discount on clothes and other items if you ask them for one. Sometimes they are so eager to sell, they just offer you a good deal. I didn't want to appear cheap though, so I didn't bother asking. It was also nice that she didn't bug me or follow me around like a lot of the shop employees tend to do sometimes. This is a great place and I'll come back here next time I'm in LA.

The clothing is great, and they have nice home things, and cool pajamas. Service is 5 stars; one time they sold out in of a pair of jeans I wanted, they wrote down the style and size so I could find it on my own. They also sold me another pair of my favorite jeans. The black lady who works there (may be the owner) is very helpful, chill, friendly, without being salesy and almost every time I go in there is having an interesting conversation with someone while maintaining 100% control of the shop. This is my favorite clothing store in the Silverlake/Los Feliz area.

Not only is there crazy rare finds, but they are all in great condition. Very different than your average overstuffed vintage barnyard vibe. Sleeper is never stale, and everything is well cared for. The store host will never crowd you trying to make a commission, and you can find high end and designer pieces for a crazy margin of it's original price. There's a reason this place has a cult following.

Really sad to see so many poor reviews of this store... it's outstanding!…read more The owners are extremely kind and patient and let me try on all sorts of different pieces of jewelry from Mt.

Everything from vintage Levi's to handcrafted boro patchwork jackets! While I didn't purchase anything during my first visit, I will definitely be coming back!

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

Very cool inventory, especially the Store branded T-shirts that are thin and comfortable. But, as…read moresomeone who doesn't live there, it was difficult to figure out whether they were open or not. They have several Store fronts in a row and some of them were papered over and I found an open door which was not the address of the shop. They were taking some kind of inventory, but the shop was supposed to be open, which is why I walked over there. They somewhat reluctantly agreed to let me shop even though they were busy in the The Other store doing something else. At that point, I found some lovely merchandise, purchased it, and they agreed to do a charge send so I didn't have to pay Sales tax. I gave them praises in my Airbnb review. So it was worth it overall, but I did not like the snobbishness of them telling me that their customers know how to find them. I guess they just don't care about people who don't live there giving them business.

The girls who work there could not be friendlier or more helpful. I literally want t buy everything they have! I also ordered a gift online for a Christmas gift and without me even asking, it showed up perfectly in tact and beautifully wrapped. They really care about their merchandise and their customers. I wish we had a store in San Diego! I only wish I could give 10 stars.
