This rating reflects quality and variety of goods, not customer service.
First, before you go too far-this is a clothing specific shop, not all around vintage. Just so you know.
That being said, when you walk into a place and you find someone wearing a Strawberry Shortcake original fleece pullover, you know you are in for a good time.
House of vintage really distinguishes itself by having gads of space full of clothing from the 50's until today. And there is no limit on what you can find. Period 90's plaid pants? Yup. Alpaca knit sweater from the 70's , sure. Wool cycling cap from the 80's? No, you didn't stump me, they got that too.
But it isn't just well worn garments, it is gently used items. Some that seem oddly timeless and all at, effectively, reasonable prices. Not Goodwill pricing, more like Target pricing. You are shopping here not to save a bunch, but maybe to decrease your carbon footprint and find a few great pieces you can't find elsewhere. Honestly, they had Club Disney jackets from the Britney era next to a jean jacket with a Minor Threat logo on the back.
Honestly, it is kind of cool.
What spoiled it for me was the few cashier's I dealt with who treated me like I was privileged to be there. Like my business didn't matter because some other hip young person would take the Cinelli jersey if I didn't want it. I have no doubt that is true, but it would be nice to be made to feel like my business mattered.
Ultimately, I spent a fair amount of money there because of the quality of product, not for any other reason. Because, from my experience, that is all they had going for them.
