When you walk into Platt Jewelry in West Hollywood you have no idea the hidden gem you will find…read moreinside, no pun intended :) Alongside the chic rows of mouth watering art deco era diamonds and rare Cartier trinity bands, The Kit Vintage is a carefully curated assortment of high end vintage that stands tall in comparison to stores like The Way We Wore and Decades. Although the collection is still intimate, you will find unique pieces for a variety of occasions with really reasonable prices to boot! I visited the shop after several great recommendations to look at engagement rings. After chatting with Larry Platt for some time, I knew this was the place I wanted to find my ring. His knowledge and ability to find truly the most unique vintage pieces blew me away. While I was shopping, I noticed a lady trying on a to die for floor length full embroidered dinner gown that was absolutely stunning. I couldn't resist having a peek and even coming from the fashion industry myself, I have to say, I was more than impressed! I found the coolest 1960's white shift dress with diamante trim that was in perfect condition and fit me like a glove. Even better, I didn't fall over when I saw the price tag. Robyn, Larry's wife & Kit Vintage founder, is the hippest & sweetest pint sized stylist gone shop girl! She offers great ideas for whatever event you have and is super cool and laid back when it comes to a sale. You really get the vibe that she truly loves what she does and is just enjoying sharing her stellar finds. Do yourself a favor next time you are in that hood and check it out. A guaranteed delight!

Both times I've been there, she's been at the store, and has pulled pieces I may be interested in and I've loved her selections.

They had some fun stuff for her, although the pricing was a little bit high for my for me. A thrifted skirt that's $50 from the late 80s early 90s. This is a great little store. If you're in a hurry, you know that you don't have very much time to go thrift shopping from store to store and you know exactly what kind of look you're going for. Clothes are very organized and the shop looked great. Maybe I'm just a little bit old-school and I'd rather go thrift shopping at the same place. The store is picking up merchandise. But if you're in Hollywood, it's definitely worth a stop. You might find a gem.

Hi all! I rarely write reviews but after my last visit, I have some thoughts. I visited once a few…read moreyears ago, but I'm saddened to say that the quality has gone down and I don't know if I'll be returning any time soon. The shop has a great selection of jewelry and knickknacks, but the clothing is extremely limited - especially for the price point. I'm not even large in size, but all of the clothing ranged from size xxxxxs - medium (yes, an actual piece had 5 x's). Now this really wasn't the problem since I got some jewelry and the owner even comped a broken pair of earrings! Now moving on to the customer service. I understand the owner has some concerns with shoplifters, but the way she now conducts the store is overkill. You have to call to get in, and she locks you in once you're inside and she is the only one "allowed" to let you out. She also was so intense towards me and other customers in the shop that it took away from the pleasant experience I was looking forward to. What I mean by this is: 1) Every item has a "DO NOT TOUCH" or "NO PHOTOS" or some other loud sign that makes it impossible to move throughout the store or explore items. 2) Any time I picked up an item, the owner immediately hovered over me and 'offered' to take it to the front before I was even done looking at it. This happened 3 separate times. 3) The owner actually SHOVED my mother to the side to race to the door and let some customers out since they're locked in and not allowed any autonomy to leave despite MULTIPLE cameras everywhere. Mind you, the owner had on thick platform boots and stepped on my mom's foot and didn't say 'excuse me' or anything of the sort. 4) The owner was extremely hypervigilant and would stare down customers while frowning at them (no joke, just like this: ) all while customers were just looking at pieces (because they were not allowed to be touched). 5) The breaking point was when I had just purchased my earrings and was moving to leave, but the owner genuinely started mumbling to herself and eventually got louder, saying, "No, no, no!! This guy's a bad guy!! NO NO!! HE'S BAD UGHH!!!" and started to duck behind the counter and pull at her hair. This freaked me out because now I'm locked in this shop with her as she's tweaking. I turned to my mom and, at that instant, decided we needed to leave at that very moment. The entire experience was bizarre and it's evident that the owner's experiences with previous shoplifters has translated into something that denies the customer a decent experience. The entire shop's atmosphere was paranoid, stifled, constricted, and anything but decent/relaxed. Good music though. I bid good luck to anyone that dares venture into that cutthroat space.

Not only has the selection gone downhill (I saw Target brand jeans for sale listed as "80s"), the cashier is off-putting (grey hair lady).... I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt but every time I've been she is consistently rude to me and the customers. Bad attitude! I'd give her 1 star. Frankly I'm only giving 4 stars here in hopes that Michi sees this and tries to restore the good vibes. I don't want to bring this place down.

No taking photos inside (there are a bunch of different signs telling you this) so it's hard to describe what's for sale. Fun to take a gander inside if you happen to be in the area and find a parking spot but probably not the most exciting place to go for specifically since you'd have to fight traffic and very confusing parking rules to get here.

Walked in, liked some things and bought some things. As we were ready to leave we noticed the wall in the back with the art displays. They have a beautiful piece with what looks like a woman in a turban or headpiece. They also have it painted on the wall. Considering it's permanently on the wall, think safe assumption, the woman behind desk would know the history of the painting. She said she didn't. And not in an I just work here kind of way but in a snobby tone. We got the impression she judged a book by its cover...like I said we were in gym clothes. She made it clear she had no interest in wasting her time on us. I'd like to go back and support the independent artists but not at the cost of a snob. I asked because I was interested in purchasing the painting but not after that encounter.
