Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from the moment I arrived. During posted business hours, there was only a handwritten "back in a few" note on the door. After waiting about 20 minutes, the employees casually returned eating popsicles and never once acknowledged or greeted me when I entered the store. I attempted to engage and asked about inventory, but the staff were extremely unhelpful and seemed completely uninterested in assisting customers. On top of that, much of the vintage merchandise was heavily worn beyond what I would consider fair used condition, yet priced far above market value for the quality. Sadly, the lack of professionalism and poor customer service alone are enough to keep me from returning.

In my particular case that left a bad taste in my mouth was I wanted to purchase some cute rings which were quite affordable - they were $2 each. But when I went up to the register, I was told that the minimum amount for a card purchase was $10, which I did not meet. (I picked out 3 rings for a total of $6) I also did not have any cash on me. I then proceeded to look in all the nooks and crannies of the store to see if I could find something else so I could meet the minimum. Mind you, I was a very committed customer that was wanting to purchase items! However, I couldn't find anything else and got zero help or attention from the workers. I think what would have helped is if they at least asked what I was looking for or help directed me to some places to look. So I then just walked out without purchasing anything and took my business to another vintage store down the street!

I decided to stop by their place and I also spotted this cute little trailer around corner that also sold vintage clothing. As I was browsing, I overheard the very grumpy lady from Velvet Threads tell an older lady (who might have been accompanying the trailer truck business) to MOVE herself and her chair off the sidewalk because it was HER SPACE. Like who does that ? She wasn't even in the way of either business and clearly she was a senior citizen. Then to top it off, she had a "tone" with just about everyone who asked her ANYTHING. All bad vibes and not someone who I'd want to support simply because of how they treat other people. Cute stuff and I saw a jacket I like, but HARD PASS.

But here's a new contender just south of Porto's on Hollywood Way and it is a hit! Studio Hope is a curated shop of everything from thrift-store-fun to higher end jewelry, glassware and refreshed duds for him and her. Yes I scored a few items. Proceeds benefit charity efforts for kidney disease and animal rescue, two passions of the husband and wife owners. Added plus: they have a changing room for try-ons! Yes I'm looking at you Goodwill.

Consumers in any given community are constantly encouraged to shop local in order to help the…read moresurrounding economy and the actual business owners whom are often residents, themselves. It is by far a better choice than the mega retailers. But here is an even more amazing concept: when the local business in question that is helped by the community also helps the community in turn and/or nonprofits. Now, THAT is the most splendid symbiotic relationship that could ever be conceived! This is exactly what is happening at Burbank's very own Studio Hope. Allow me to explain... Studio Hope is a combination thrift store/vintage store/antique store/gift shop at the Hollywood Way/Clark intersection not far from the Magnolia Park area of Burbank where these stores are a dime a dozen. However, Studio Hope stands out not only because it is located a few blocks away; but also because it is a business created to 'do good'. Owned and operated by Lori and Dean, a husband-and-wife team both suffering with kidney/renal issues; this dynamic duo initially founded (1) a kidney nonprofit that helps adults/families/children suffering from renal conditions and (2) an animal nonprofit to help orphaned pets find forever homes. In turn, they founded Studio Hope which rather than operate for a profit; revenues help fund the two non-profits. So, if you shop at Studio Hope you are supporting charities versus a billion-dollar company AND the local economy! The local buzz has been raving about Studio Hope but I wasn't able to check them out until the end of 2025 when bringing them my end-of-year donations (they accept donations and offer a receipt for your tax deductions). I was absolutely enthralled the moment I walked into the shop with its vintage/antique vibe and art collective. This place is less thrift store and more vintage - in the best way possible. Studio Hope offers amazing clothing (some modern and the BEST vintage finds!), purses, jewelry, shoes, housewares and furniture, trinkets, art, etc. Studio Hope isn't just a store: it is an experience and is heaven for lovers of all things vintage and antique. You would expect that these top-tier wares being sold at Studio Hope would fetch a pretty penny due to their own worth alone plus needing to be relatively comparative to competitors. Wrong! I was shocked to find some crush-worthy vintage at affordable prices and I am poor so my judgement can be trusted! Dean and Lori's Studio Hope does not screw patrons over. During my visit in which I purchased an adorable enamel ice cream cone pin; I successfully made a clothing donation and was thanked profusely while also being introduced to Lori. Lori is a doll: friendly, inclusive, conversational, humble and obviously appreciates each and every customer. This truly 'sells' the business even more making one want to return to Studio Hope. Studio Hope is also 'cool' as they work with the local film studios and host events like "Bridgerton" viewing parties. They also utilize their store for work with their charities such as the 'prom' they put on for the teens part of their kidney nonprofit allowing them to choose among the store's gowns. Studio Hope is truly compassionate. My only complaint is that it is street-meter parking only which is a bit annoying when schlepping donations and unable to catch a close meter but Studio Hope is worth contending with this 'grievance'. If you love vintage/antiques AND want to feel good about where your dollar ends up then Studio Hope is for you and an absolute must-visit! Make sure to hi to Lori!

However, I would consider this more generally a gift shop, because you can find a wide variety of items. müsh had a charming collection of woodcut-style cards for sale, one which I grabbed for a friend. I also spent quiet a bit of time looking at their interesting jewelry collection, including a parure of silver/brass and garnet jewelry. They cary quite a bit of jewelry featuring silver and semi-precious gems. There were also a number of geodes that were set and ready to use as objet d'art in your home, including citrine and amethyst. There was also a variety of paintings for sale: this place has a lot of things for home decor, especially for such a small shop. Definitely worth a stop in Silverlake.

But I'm on a new mission for more rings, and I had time to kill, so I stepped in anyway and was really pleasantly surprised! This store is really great! There's several different altars, each with its own unique theme going on. They are really quite different from each other, and while several of them weren't my style, all of them were worth looking over, and there's clearly a lot of thought put into the design and layout. The store person was SUPER friendly, turns out she does make a lot of the jewelry herself, while the store owner makes a lot of designs. You can follow them on IG @ravenapothecary but when I glanced through the feed, it doesn't give you a good sense of all you could get in the store. However, I was told that you can order online (DM them) and request virtual tours where they show you the jewelry. I ended up buying one ring, it was at a really great price point, and I now have this store bookmarked in case I'm ever in the neighborhood again, I would definitely make this a regular stop-in to check the inventory. It seems like it can change frequently. LOTS of earrings, then necklaces and rings, as well as interesting sticker collections. They've got a variety of non-jewelry stuff going on too.
