Celebrities Closets are a "Win-Win-Win-Win' for shoppers!…read more Win #1.- SELECTION: The selection of clothing and accessories, handbags and shoes for women, men (and NEW: dogs!) is wonderfully eclectic with unique one of a kind pieces that you won't see at the mall, or on anyone else! Win#2. -REAL CELEBRITY OWNED TREASURES the store is filled with valuable pieces donated by famous celebrities- both old and new, that truly allow you to walk away with your own couture look worn only by you, and the likes of JLO, Oprah, Idris Alba, and more! Best of all, while the owner is new to Sherman Oaks, she is very well known and connected to Hollywood and the music industries. Lateasha, the owner, is a fixture in the store, always there to help and to let you know who owned the items, and when known, when they wore them. A celebrity in her own right--(the daughter one of the original members of The Temptations), grew up amidst superstars, and she herself was a recording artist with Motown and on Broadway as well. She has SO MANY famous friends and her network supports her by regularly dropping off little pieces of history for you to own! Win #3-PRICES ARE INCREDIBLE! Even though she grew up with a silver spoon, Lateasha is deeply sensitive to the needs of various social economic groups, and wants the average woman or man shopping to have their own little piece of "the Rich and Famous", at incredibly reasonable prices (in some cases downright steals)! That is how giving and kind an operation Celebrities Closet is. Win #4-CHARITY A PART OF EVERY ITEM SOLD! Part of the entire business model of Celebrities Closet- unlike ANY other vintage store in LA, is about giving back. So a percentage of whatever incredibly reasonable priced item you buy is given to the CHARITY OF YOUR CHOICE! Where else can you buy couture and feel like you are contributing to amazing places like ST. JUDE'S HOSPITAL, and the JUVENILE DIABETES ASSOCIATION? Even if you don't have a pet charity, a portion will still go to one of the charitable "store charities" such as the examples provided. Think you little purchases won't make a difference? Think again! To date, between their Atlanta store and Sherman Oaks store, Celebrities Closets has DONATED over $500,000 to worthy organizations helping people in need! As if all of these "wins" aren't enough, and the financial donations can certainly explain why not only actors and musicians donate there, but the Studios do too;- which explains the great diversity of selection. BUT WAIT...there is MORE!! EVERY WEEK, DONATIONS THAT DON'T SELL ARE BROUGHT DOWN TO SKID ROW AND PERSONALLY GIVEN TO THE NEEDY! Located just a few doors down from Crave in Sherman Oaks on Ventura Blvd., I'll see you there...BTW- hands off Cher's stuff--that's all MINE!!

Taraji P Henson, Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande are a few more of the many celebs who donate to her shop. I thought that I'd have to pay hundreds but she has many things the celebs wore only once for $25! And the shop's mission is the best - items sold help support each stars' charity. How cool is that? Wonderful experience - tell Lateasha Pam says hi!

Some of the items were a couple dollars more than the usual thrift store finds, but it's worth it because of the time I save. Some highlights: - They have fitting rooms! The fitting rooms' curtains are also made up of up-cycled material which is another plus! - You can donate your clothes and receive a small discount. I don't remember the exact amount, but you can find the information printed near the cash register. - They sell unique and appealing up-cycled clothes and bags! Overall it was a great experience and I'll definitely be coming back!

We were very impressed with the organization and cleanliness. There was so much to go through! The selections on the first floor were ok -- most were goodwill and souvenir type of clothing. They were not that old, or quality vintage (IMO). We found the best selection on the second floor. The smaller racks had several curated items and repurposed pieces. Prices are very reasonable. We didn't find anything worthwhile at this first visit but it's definitely a place we would come back to.

The store is so jam packed, there is only one small "isle" left that you can kind of maneuver through, but if one other person is in the store and they want to get out, you have to come all the way out of the store so they can get out. I don't know how anybody can actually shop here. It's a hoarding situation, not a store. I really don't think she wants you to buy anything anyway because prices are so ridiculously high. I wish I could reach and look at the things that I was interested in. It's just too much, and she talks wayyyyyy tooooo much.

Okay, I've had some time to chill out and I think I can more eloquently express my issue with this…read moreplace, and why I will never, ever go back. First, they claim this is a boutique, yet I've found more fast fashion here than anything else, including old Forever 21. The clothing is not curated whatsoever, or really even organized more than the basic long sleeves together, pants together, etc. Boutiques curate their clothing, display and merchandise it, and usually pay for their clothing (though not in all cases). This place is a small thrift store, but filled with women from a local church who give church ladies the reputation we all know about. Judgy, holier-than-thou, etc. I was here when they got a large donation - yes, donation - from the Johnny Carson Estate, including a ton of his wife's clothing. The pieces were vintage and in great shape, and all designer. That's awesome, good for them! Why did they fill the store with only those items, and attempt to sell them at the highest possible point in the range of their retail value? Because typically their clothing is actually pretty reasonable, this was a super surprise to myself and MULTIPLE other people in the store, all of whom were commenting on it. When I asked what was going on and if someone had lost their mind pricing items in a thrift store at $2k plus, a woman who didn't work there started attempting to belittle me for 'not knowing fabric' and not knowing the value of things. Lady, I worked in a wardrobe department for years, and resell high end vintage clothing. Further, even if I didn't, who on earth speaks to a stranger that way, and especially in a thrift store? Belittling people for not having money or knowing designer clothing is bad enough, but doing so in a store that is supposed to be for those people to be able to cloth themselves is just plain disgusting behavior. The woman in question was absolutely friends with all the women working there, and I already know that birds of a feather, so I won't be coming back to this place as I don't want to ever support women who behave like this. When I called the woman out for her behavior, she denied it, then said 'this conversation is over' because that's what narcissists do when they can't defend their actions. That woman was a disgusting jerk, and she gives that place a bad name - a name I believe it deserves, unfortunately. Avoid if possible!

If you are into horror and such this is definitely a spot you would like. There are a variety of items to purchase here. Some are more run of the mill mass produced items like candles, purses, slippers, books and such. While other items were clearly thrifted and one of a kind or vintage. Very neat to have that kind of a variety. For example you can get a $20 skill candle or a $400 old operating table. See what I mean? It's definitely a great store to browse around. I easily spent 20 minutes just looking between their three rooms. The reason I did dock one star though is that while it was fun to browse, it's not necessarily my kind of merch. To each their own. Even more so I did find some of the prices to be a little high, maybe it's just me. One example I could give was I found a pretty simple necklace with a bat and heart that I've literally seen a hundred times over at Claire's. That necklace easily is about $7 or so, but here they were selling it for $35. I get they need to make a profit but the quality wasn't there and it was giving child's costume jewelry at a more expensive price. Surely they need to make the rent and knowing that a lot of people who come in are more so "just looking around" it makes sense prices need to be adjusted. A final positive to end on a good note is that the staff are absolutely lovely here. There were multiple staff working which I appreciated. Everyone was very very nice and welcoming. I love their passion for this store and enthusiasm. Nice people work here and I'm glad there is a store like this around for those who can truly appreciate what it has to offer.
