The owner is incredibly standoffish. Stock is very badly organized and, as others have said, they let a cat wander the building and it uses the bathroom on the stock. The entire place smells of cat urine. Stock is overpriced for wholesale.

Horrible!!!!! I have been to several bulk Vintage Clothing warehouses and this was BY FAR the worse one I've been to. Right off the bat the owner was super unprofessional and the place smells like cat piss. When she was explaining everything to me, she mentioned that there was a designer section further back in the warehouse, but to look at that stuff, you must spend $100 minimum in the regular section w/ the clothing in boxes. I then asked, "so you need to spend $100 to go to just the designer area" she said "yes". I clarify for a second time, "so there's no

Amanda was lovely to deal with, everything came quick considering I live in Ireland and stuff was on back order. My issues however were that half the clothes ordered were kids sizes not to mention out of 20-odd items 5 of them arent useable due to rips and permanent staining. While I understand the risk in buying vintage in bulk the rips were sort of the killer blow to this order which made me a bit unhappy. I would buy again from this place but if possible I would try to handpick in person to avoid the above issues.

The T-shirts on the website were falsely advertised and the sweatshirts had so many stains. I paid a hundred dollars for two 6 piece bundles and on top of that another invoice fee, ridiculous. Took forever to get here. Will not be shopping here again and I do not recommend.

Loved this hidden thrift gem in the city. It can be a bit hard to find and probably not the safest place to walk to from the El if coming later in the day. Last time I went the owner informed me that the place was only selling to store owners but open to the general public on occasion. You can find those dates through their social media.
