Venice Vintage Vibe

by timinvenice

Great vibe. All sorts of interesting finds. I recommend.

My friend and I went there to find some costumes for a short film and we had a hilarious conversation with the woman working there. We bought a few items, accessories mostly, and came back the following week because we were told she'd have more new old stuff then. And when we came back, we were rewarded with tons of amazing old dress shirts, dresses, skirts...

Anyway. I've been back again and again over the past year and they have a really great mix of stuff. A range of prices and designers as well.

• Pros: Great selection, Cool Staff
• Cons: Not as much men's clothes

Disco, free love, and shoulder pads

Gotta Have Its' location in venice beach is as ecclectic as the garb it offers. The store encompasses nearly every fashionable, glam, tacky and unconventional decade on its racks. The pieces you find there are one of a kind and in 2007- you won't cross anyone on the street wearing the same thing as you. Be weary of sizing- vintage sizes smaller. The clothing is kept in excellent conditon for its age. Who doesn't love that moth ball/attic/grandma smell? Prices are decent considering these are unique and rare vintage beauties. Parking is good. Catch the beach afterward

• Pros: disco doll meets career woman style
• Cons: might not be in your size!
