Retro Woman

If i could give a zero i would, i didnt get her name but the woman inside saw a really nice shirt that i had found digging throught all the clothes and had finally found a shirt i was going to buy. so i came back upstairs after trying it on to purchase it when she starts making faces as she evaluates the shirt almost like she wanted to keep it for herself and then proceeded to tell me she couldnt sell me the shirt because THEY had the "wrong" price listed and raised the price herself by $25. Her reasoning was that people will switch the price tags but if that was the case why would they leave that there ?? Help yourself and don't shop here

It's funny, had this place been in the US, it would have been called a consignment shop - here its just buy/sell.

From the outside, I didn't expect much. Inside as a different story. Amazing selection of high end items, from Chanel to St John - all in excellent condition.

Had it not been (what felt like) 9000 degrees outside, I would have tried stuff on.

My gf picked up a lovely leather jacket that still had the tags on it for pennies compared to the original price.

In the area? Don't pass this place up.

This place is great. I found a Elie Tahari blazer for 3 pounds, which has since become a staple of my work wardrobe. Tahari is the bottom end of what they have to offer though. They've got everything from See by Chloe and Marc Jacobs to Ann Demeulemeester and Galliano. This isn't Oxfam--stuff can be pricey... but that's because they're selling stuff that originally cost hundreds of pounds, so if you're going to splurge, do it here.

The only downside is that the space is very, very cramped--they have so much stock! And I was put off looking at the shoes because they're all in locked glass cases (too much bother for me). But if you're willing to put in the time, you'll come out with some great finds.

Also, the staff are great. Hands-off, but friendly.

The outside looks like a record shop but when you go in it is a plethora of clothing from McQueen to Chanel to other brand names! I ended up buying two coats because I couldn't choose between the two. One from Reiss and one Kooples for under £200! I'll end up going back again when I'm in town!

Are you looking for a Chanel handbag, a Dior suit, or maybe some Vivienne Westwood Gold Label? I don't know how this shop obtains some of this stuff ladies but it's definitely well worth the trip. This shop simply put is upmarket vintage pieces meets Del boy from Only Fools and Horses, you can also find £2 jeans and 80's tack that on you might be into. Don't be disheartened by the entrance or the shop looks times are wasting and the vintage isn't getting any younger!! Also be prepared for the price shock, its a little steep but just keep thinking one off Prada dress!!
