Wasteland

I asked the store clerk if they had plus size clothing. She said they "have a good range of sizes," which did not answer my question. They do not have plus size clothing. Only jeans are organized by size, everything else is just mixed together. More importantly, she followed me around the store dusting shelves that hadn't been dusted in ages. Black lives matter until we walk into a store huh? I checked my bags at the front so like girl...the racism.. Anyway if you're not Black and smaller than a size 10, it's a great place for used micro trend clothing and accessories. Decent prices on small stock of designer stuff.

Most items I liked were $100, dresses for $4-$500. A few things from Zara and Cos for $18 - $26

As a local, I’ve had mixed feelings about the consistent gentrification of Silver Lake over the years. But I think one of the things that hurt the most was seeing a mural dedicated to local residents and scenes of Silver Lake painted over with something so incredibly corporate. I must admit, the building’s mural is neat. But, it’s a bit of a tragedy that it covers a mural that was so ‘Silver Lake’ (RIP, Bingo). As for the business itself: I went in with a couple pair of high quality and rarely used shoes. Got them for a wedding, only wore them once. The cashier helping me was so gregarious and helpful until he heard what brand the shoes were. His energy completely dropped as he stiffly told me they don’t accept or sell those brands, and he promptly ignored me and started hailing over other customers who’d just entered. Like, my dude, what if I wanted to do some shopping after making the trek? What if I had other merchandise you were interested in? To do such a 180 and give a cold shoulder like just speaks volumes of the kind of store this is. Bougie. And if you’re not bougie, they don’t want your business. Like alright, to each their own. Just wish they at least left the mural -.- [Edit: I see a reply, but I in turn cannot reply to it. I will say, I love Shepard Fairey's work, I do not appreciate what felt to be shade conveyed in the reply below. But the new mural feels corporate as it was done by a commissioned big name artist, and is in stark contrast with the mural that seemed lovingly painted by local less-skilled artists - of local landmarks and beloved animal-residents of Silver Lake. Corporate saw a mural loving handpainted by locals and decided: "Nah, we want this big-name mural instead" My memory could be hazy, though I do not recall our Walking Man being on the mural at any point, assuming that's who was meant by "Walker Read" (a name I don't believe he ever went by). Regardless: To claim the mural was 'long gone' before Wasteland moved in is not true, that mural stood there through Covid - despite some vandalism - until the building was renovated for Wasteland. Perhaps the building owner and not Wasteland commissioned the mural, if the reply below is to be believed. I merely assumed the mural was commissioned by Wasteland, given Wasteland was the only store in that building that opened when the new mural took its place.]

The manager, "Max" was his name I believe was a buyer at the counter one of the days I decided to sell to Wasteland. My experience with him was poor and unfortunate, for he didn't take a single item (which wasn't the problem) and then literally threw all of my neatly folded and freshly ironed clothes back into my bag without folding a single piece. As someone who has previously been a buyer with Buffalo exchange, that was actually against store policy to not fold customers clothes when returning them. It felt rude and intentional and mostly, unprofessional and lazy. All the other buyers I've met here have been helpful and sweet. In my opinion, any of the other people working at this Wasteland would be a better manager than Max.

This store has a lot of cool inventory! It was well organized and the dressing rooms were really spacious. I also want to applaud the customer service: all of the staff I interacted with were attentive and polite. On that note, I was charged the wrong price for an item, which I did not notice until I got home. So, I got on the phone with the assistant manager, Alexis, who was very kind and luckily, was able to refund me! Definitely a place to check out if you're looking for some good finds!

My daughter and I had a wonderful experience here. We were visiting from Chicago and only visited this location. We came on a Saturday and it was quite busy. Despite this, the individuals working were very friendly and helpful. They approached us about a fitting room. They were more than happy to help me understand the organization, and promptly helped us pay. The selection was all in excellent condition. We walked away with a pair of prada wool pants for $98, a veronica beard dress for $98, and a pair of l'agence jeans for $58.

In town for a month and needed to find a dress for a semi-formal dinner. Was looking at local boutiques, and on my way there decided to stop by Wasteland. Usually never shop at second-hand stores, but I also didn't want to spend an arm and a leg on a last minute dress. The store is a little confusing, but the dresses are organized by type (vintage, festival, strapless, etc). I was a little confused because there were also racks of dresses in the back that could have fit into other racks. Anyhow, I ended up finding a cute Sezane shift dress in my size (XS/S)! The dress was in great condition and was $68! So glad I decided to stop in and shop!

Awesomely curated selection of luxury vintage and secondhand pieces. Hard to beat the selection anywhere in LA or elsewhere.

What a fun place! Racks and racks of well worn classics AND new looking items await at Wasteland! Most things I saw were $48, which seemed like a base price, and upwards of $100 for name brand items like Prada, or something in leather or suede. As for me, I scored two jackets and two shirts... ...and you know what they say, "once you wash out that vintage-clothes smell, it's all yours, baby!"

Wasteland has been my resale go-to since forever! The Silverlake Wasteland location is so lit, the inventory delicious, the staff energy = wake up & dress like you are;) Highest recommend!!! Shop like u $$$$$$ but low key budget #here

Typical racial profiling. Was enjoying considering the jewelry until I had a little chaperone right next to me for a time shuffling the already straightened stack of clothes next to me. Annoying but not surprised. My white friend was able to roam free. I hope to never spend a dollar here.

This place is good for designer clothes but expensive nondesigner. Organized well by size and genre.

I went to this location for the first time, and I overheard the fitting room employee say "great now I have lice" after putting on one of the hats that was laying around. Automatically I assumed that the clothes that they receive don't go under any type of cleaning process, which I guess is understandable but I definitely felt cringe after hearing that I was discouraged to buy anything

Nice spot, clean, and some decent finds. This place has some older grails from years past if you look hard enough, but it comes at a price. Go to the glass cases if you wanna look really quick at the top finds in the store. Really nice staff. There's two tiers of pricing here, high and even higher. If your gonna sell here, be prepared to hold your jaw. Hey don't hate that player, hate the .. . . happy shopping

Beware of these scammers. I sold them some clothes and the check they gave me was rejected by their bank. Now I'm sitting here trying to get my money from them and they are acting like I am the one in the wrong. Absolute trash business.

The selection here is top shelf and the Services boutique plus +. I highly recommend this location and all of the employees here are professional, friendly, and fun which is the most important part of shopping! After all it's supposed to be fun and Shaun is a stand out employee. He is witty and his style first class all the way. Even the security guards got it going on at this SilverLake location! They could and should learn from this five star establishment at wasteland corporate headquarters wherever that might be because this is A flagship store. Excellent selection of basics & designer rarities too, this store is spotless and everyone who works here is kind and enjoyable to talk to as well. Coming back today for some slides that I can't afford, but I have to have no matter what! You can shop with confidence here that everything is already authenticated and has been looked over 99 times to make sure it's perfect before it hits the floor. This isn't that amateur hour here. I have to say this is the best wasteland I've ever had the pleasure of selling and shopping in to date that includes locations throughout the United States of America.

Rude, immature and unprofessional staff. I'll be going to the other locations to avoid this strange behavior.

100% Wasteland was needed in Silver Lake. Left with a Dolce & Gabbana blazer and Vintage Prada Belt. I can always count on Wasteland and have been loyal for decades.
