i was really keen to check this place out but i left incredibly disappointed. despite being described as “vintage”, most items weren’t actually that at all, the racks were filled with mass-produced tees w/ old bands, cartoons and film posters printed on cheap blanks. even a section of older sweatshirts with very obviously new screen-printed artist logos. you can feel the fresh print sitting on top of the worn garment which doesn’t match the condition of the fabric. it’s especially frustrating for people who can’t tell and end up paying over $40 for this!! it really undermines the whole idea of shopping sustainably or finding real second hand treasures. not worth the stop unfortunately 😕

Fantastic store and friendly staff. Picked up some Levis jackets that were worn in and in amazing condition. Half the price of new and feel so much better to wear. Rest of the clothes selection is pretty dope as well.

Wife took a trip with our son to Melbourne and brought back two T-shirts (we live in NZ) that she intentionally bought a size larger and yet both were still too small (more like medium than size XL) which was really annoying to say the least. Gutted. I'd rather pay more for correct sizing than less for something that I ultimately can't wear. This was never a problem with T-shirts until recent years where the market has been flooded with cheap, poorly sized knock offs. Not happy.

An absolute treasure trove for vintage lovers! The store is packed with unique, high-quality pieces from every era. You can easily spend hours browsing. The staff are super friendly and know their stuff, and the prices are fair for the quality and rarity you get. Love the vibe, the music, and the nostalgia in every corner. I’ll definitely be back for more!

This store is pretty much perfect when it comes to a cool grunge vintage store. Everything from the aesthetic and way it’s styled to almost all the items!!! It’s really cool and has tons of awesome clothes with good amounts of variety. I went shopping there last month and I had an incredible experience with one of my close friends. We both left with really high quality stuff and both promised we would do it again. Love this place!!
