I stopped by this place a few times on my way to class. I have to say though…not really my favorite vintage shop in NYC. The prices are incredibly high. I mean I do understand how valuable some vintage pieces are, but some of those price tags are simply nuts.
Personally, I think you can find much better deals on amazing dresses at say Screaming Mimi’s, or better yet, Beacon’s Closet in Brooklyn.
Nice I really am about to pop in too
the last dress is cute
omg!! yes!! i love beacons closet!! one of my favorite spots =]
I won’t pay vintage prices unless the designer is someone worth collecting. Otherwise it’s overpriced thrift.
i used to work there! and some of the props (including the large poster) used in the windows photographed are from my shop in pennsylvania!
