And a person that's helps you figure out what you want and what looks good. And you try them on. This is why you go to a specialty store with inventory. And knowledgeable people.

It was a cool place that had some niche and unique items, but lots of pins and stickers and patches. They do have some interesting books and some apparel. The items were on the pricier side, but this is supposed to support the local artists and vendors. Worth a stop in to check it out, but for us, not a place we would revisit.

So sad! The one Sale Sign was misleading. Reading Nike sweats on sale 34.99, not meaning any of the sweats next to the sign, but the ones on the bottom shelf, the ones no where near the sign! Workers are polite. The cashier Tee has a lot on her mind cannot focus on a customers need. This store will be here for a long time. Perfect place. Too Expensive for me but the wide selection of sneakers, my son will have us come back here.

I had great experience here and I came here several times! As each time I wanted to get some additional cute Yale-themed swag..I got a super comfortable soft sweatshirt, presents for family, mugs/keychain/bracelets, workout pants and shorts, and more! They have a fitting room in the store too (that didn't properly lock on my first visit but got improved by my last :)). Staff were friendly and helpful too and there's a 10% discount for Yale students and military members.

Prices are understandably high, got a magnet that was around $16. They customize a lot of the items. Quality of the products vary based on their types.

Items are displayed by category throughout the store. They are also made into really cool "room" areas. For example, the kitchen area had items like a stove, dishwasher, and all the utensils you could need. The staff were kind and helpful. One of them helped me measure a chair to see if it would fit under my desk. There are all sorts of designer clothing and handbag items too. I really liked the photography exhibit with all of the projector slides! Whatever you are looking for, you can find an amazing variety of vintage items at this special shop.

If I wore jewelry (I'm so uncoordinated with that), it would be a treasure trove of pieces from the 1930s on up. The staff is the best kind of quirky, and jumps in to assist at a moment's notice. I literally went in last year not having any idea of what I wanted to do for Halloween, and came out as the ghost of Jackson Pollock!! For realzies! They prefer cash (and all rentals require a cash-only deposit for the total cost of the items, but you get two-thirds of it back when you return them), but take checks and CCs for purchase over $20. Plus, some weekends they have sidewalk sales, which is waaaayyyy more fun than digging through some rando's front yard! Two thumbs up!

Incredible. So genius they rent out clothes if you need an outfit for just one night.read more
