They never have more than 5 of the same piece so the chance of seeing someone else in it is extremely slim. My sister and I were in town to see a Laker's game and someone at our hotel recommended that we check out the stores on Melrose. Bliss was our first stop and the only place where I found an item I HAD TO HAVE. Bliss carries unique fashionable pieces are very reasonable prices- the owner has a great eye. Cute dresses, nice blazers, nice tops - they have it all! I loved my new blazer so much that I wore it out later that night. We went to a lounge, didn't dance much and definitely didn't do anything outlandish. I literally sat down most of the night (boring, and uncharacterisitic of me, but hey, it happened). Later on, we went to eat and I looked down at my arms and the entire inner seam on both arms had ripped open leaving two huge gaping holes. I had no idea how it happened. The next day, I returned to Bliss, and without any hassle at all, the owner exchanged my ripped blazer for a new one. No questions asked. I am aware that I just happened to have impeccable timing and the owner was there when I went back, but I can't express how grateful I was. The sales associate was also really nice both of the days that I went into the boutique. Bliss, you definitely have my vote. I'll be back in LA in a few weeks and I will definitely be paying you a visit! Thanks, again!

Bad business ethic :/

Every rack feels intentional, lived in, and full of personality. Nothing feels random. Each item has a story, and you can sense it the moment you start browsing. The bag selection alone is worth the stop. There are so many standout pieces that feel like true finds, not just resale. The kind of bags you don't see twice. What really makes this place special is the owner, Melynda. She's genuinely fun to talk to and clearly passionate about what she curates. You can tell there's pride and care behind every piece in the shop. Talking with her about vintage fashion and the stories behind the items made the experience feel personal, not transactional. This ended up being one of the coolest spots I stumbled into in the fashion district. If you appreciate vintage that feels curated and soulful rather than picked over, Quirk is a must.

Would be nice if they updated their donation status and location on the Google sheet. Annoying for me but glad they are helping those in need. The new location is in the photo.

I recently attended a nail event at Bloom in Bloom, which is located right next door to this…read moreCrouton store. During the event, a few of us were near the storefront, and the owner came out and told us we were not allowed to be on or near the property. What surprised me was that there were no customers inside at the time, so the interaction felt unnecessary and unwelcoming. Instead of seeing it as an opportunity to introduce people to the store, the approach was abrupt and dismissive. The tone alone made the situation uncomfortable. I understand everyone can have an off day, but the way we were spoken to felt disrespectful. I was also surprised by the pricing. Many items seemed extremely marked up, in some cases appearing higher than their original retail value, which defeats the purpose of shopping somewhere associated with deals. After reading other reviews, I'm confused because they don't reflect the experience I had. I'll be attending another event nearby soon, but honestly, I'm anxious about returning because of how we were treated. There are many other businesses in the area that offer both competitive pricing and welcoming customer service, and I would personally choose to support those instead.

Every designer piece is excellent quality and the girls there know exactly what will fit and flatter your specific body. I've brought friends here who got 4 staple pieces, went home and threw out a bunch of stuff they no longer needed, and the 4 pieces have lasted years in great condition. Very picky buyer, only gets top of the line designers, usually European. Always pleased with the selection. My go-to for all things from fine jewelry to casual wear to evening wear. Highly recommend. Used to go to their La Brea location, now I visit them on Fairfax and the new space is divine. If you want to downsize to less clothes with higher quality, you've met your match.
