Entering Starday is like entering a trip through time - vintage classics, highly curated and exceptionally displayed. There are many vintage shops on Fourth Street, which makes me so grateful and happy. In the 1980s, we would need to drive up to Melrose Avenue in Hollywood to get this kind of quality vintage apparel and curios. Of course it was an adventure to get all the way up there into deep LA, find parking and browse through the goodness of vintage clothing - the styles, the colors, the textures, the worn in qualities which no current items can produce. Now we have the same opportunity in good old Long Beach. Starday Vintage Too serves as a sweet option for those curious about vintage, about old-fashioned style, and how to reinvent it today. Yesterday I cruised in to the shop, drawn in by the window display, which is ever changing, and always super -stylish. Their usage of mannequins is both haunting and delightful. It feels as though full stories are being lived out through their mannequins and the way they have styled them. The window display says so much about how the female owner (red haired and creative, Nicole) runs her shop: dynamic, thoughtful, retro-centric, and committed to the process of artistically offering vintage goods, highly curated, at fair prices. I just love to see their latest window designs, cruise around inside, chat with the friendly staff, and check out everything from studded belts to zipper boots, wigs to leopard print overcoats... just so amazing. To me, this shop sets the pace for the rest of retro row. It's the corner of 4th and Cherry, high traffic, highly visible and fantastic. Buying the goods isn't the point. Sniffing around, appreciating the items, their history, the store layout, and the entire in-store experience... Treat yourself to a visit. Good times!! read more

Came by during business hours on Tuesday and found the store closed. So disappointed as we made the drive out here specifically to go thrift shopping at various locations in town. Not sure if we'll have to chance to make it back. read more

Change your hours on your Yelp! It's 3:50 on a Saturday came to shop and store is closed . Super annoying read more

Starday Vintage Too - Hours say Saturday 12-ish to seven will return at 12:20. Well it's 3:51 and no one is here. - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Long Beach, California

I'm on vacation here from out of state and made a note to stop by this place because it looked really cool. I rode my bike with my service animal and I put my mask on went to walk in and the guy behind the counter abruptly says "yeah sorry you can't come in because my dog is here." Not sure if this is the owner or just an employee, I told him ok no problem I would be sure to leave a nasty review online. As I rode my bike back by he tells me to "eat sh*t." So I kindly returned the favor by telling him to go f*** himself because really who treats a potential customer that way and I'm from the east coast we don't play that. Hopefully next time he talks like that to someone it's a man his size not a 5ft female and he gets knocked the hell out. read more

I was not impressed. There was a variety of "vintage" clothing, but it was so old and the presentation was seriously lacking. The guy at the counter just sits and plays on his phone. Doesn't greet customers and did not exhibit interest in customers or a personality. Quite sad. I'm sure they pay a lot of overhead just for the location. Update your items and invest in good employees. read more

I've been coming to Swellegant for several years now (we vacation in Newport every couple of years) and I ADORE this shop! The selection is extensive and IMO, is the epitome of a true vintage shop! So many great finds at varying price points, but overall well worth what you pay. For those who've said their prices are high, keep in mind these are vintage pieces that have been curated by an expert eye--if you expect thrift store prices, just go to a thrift shop and do the work yourself ;). This year I SO scored with a pair of 80's Krizia polka dot pants (OMG!), a precious oversized metal bow ring, a totally rare wide-panel seersucker pastel dress and even a 60's silk shantung dress from the clearance rack that I plan on deconstructing to use to make a pattern! This business is vital for those of us who want something special that speaks to our individual tastes. THANK YOU SWELLEGANT, I have nothing but LOVE for you! read more

I read a comment from a person about my review criticizing why I wrote my review... Stating that of course small is small people were smaller then.. As though I shop vintage without recognizing size.. I guess I need to make clear by small I ment kid sized.. I wear a size 28 in mens. I haven't been back since my prior review but, given where I'm at financially I'll probably be a while before I consider it if I consider it. read more

I had the day off work and I have a reuinion event in 2 days for something I did back in the late 80s/early 90s, so I decided to let go of mom-hood for a couple of hours and treat myself! Yay! The store has a great selection and is beautifully curated but the person working there kind of ruined it (for me, anyways). Maybe if I was a big movie star or a super hot guy or something he'd have helped me put together a fun fit for Sunday? ‍ Who knows. After a couple of friendly attempts to spark his desire to help, I just enjoyed my merry little time by myself, and every once in awhile marveled at how, for nearly two hours, this guy found zero interest in his (sole) customer, the store, and I dunno, making someone smile? Anyhow, the selection worked for me and I got what I came for, but it sure took me a long time to figure it out by myself! Sounds like the owner Nicole (or someone like her) may have made this a five-star kind of day! read more

this store has really beautiful items for a very reasonable price! i also got a couple christian dior and burberry vintage items for just over $30. the young man there was super patient with my toddler daughter, who was playing dress up while i was shopping and he was also very helpful when i had questions. i'm pretty sure we were in there for about an hour. i will be back in a month to see if they have new items. new fav store :) read more

I love vintage stores! This so fun to have on the peninsula! Great customer service and great selection. You can tell the owner has great taste! They loved my 80's outfit and bought it on the spot. It takes you back in time for sure. read more

Finally a reasonably priced vintage clothing store!! it is amazing in there! You can even try things on, the owner is very nice and helpful! This is the most fun shopping I've had in an extremely long time! I will definitely be a regular customer, gosh I just can't get over how amazing it is in there read more

Starday Vintage Too - Here is the top I bought! It was only $34, they have the fairest prices I will definitely be back! - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Long Beach, California

Yes, yes,yes. Tucked away far down the interminable Newport Blvd (how soon we forget) lies a rough diamond. This is real vintage. They actually had lots of intact 1940 and 1950s items. I scored a pristine red cashmere sweater with black lace and bead overlay that looks like last years Dolce and Gabbana. Cost me $50. Don't skip the sales rack! I found a 1980s white silk DKNY tunic with surplice wrapping and an old Japanese silk kimono with rotted out shoulders but a fantastic lining to make a scarf. Those were $4 each. Send the family down to ride bicycles along the coast while you get your fix. read more

I L-O-V-E this place.......Nicole (the owner) is great! She always has great vintage pieces. I was once in need of a coat and phoned her up told her what I was looking for. She found a couple pieces pulled them and saved them for me. She knows vintage and has an amazing selection of vintage cocktail rings and some not so vintage. She also has a nice selection of Bakelite and Lucite and Celluloid pieces. The shoes go on for days here. She carries clothing from the art deco era to mid century to 80's.... The purses are also great too.. Oh, and she does have a wide selection of clothing for the men.... I love this place..... read more

Let me first say that I didn't buy anything. Mainly because although I found a lot of their selection to be great I was not ready to pay THAT much. I'm not sure if it's because "vintage" is in demand so prices are a bit high or if these clothes REALLY go for that much...maybe for the suits it would be understandable but some of the buttoned shirts were a bit more than I expected. I will say though everything I saw was in outstanding condition. I found some good double-breasted blazers but I'm not ready to pay roughly $90 for something old and possibly used when I can get a brand new one for about the same price. On the flip...most of their selection I would say is hard to find nowadays in the condition they sell it in. read more

this is prolly my second most favorite vintage store in Orange County. I love the store's unique appeal inside and out. the owner is absolutely friendly, helpful, and extremely cool. all kinds of knick-knacs n such to buy and clutter your room with. the dressing rooms are what any cool girl wants her room to look like. its a bit pricey but what vintage clothing store isnt? its quality over quantity. read more

A true vintage resale shop. I popped in here on a recent visit to Newport Beach. I love thrift shopping so this one seemed perfect. They had a good selection of clothing from the 50s through the early to mid 90s. The prices seemed a little on the high side, but it's Newport Beach so that's not surprising. If you are into vintage clothing, check this place out. read more

If living in the area or visiting, Swellegant Vintage is a staple thrift store to check out. It is right on the side of PCH when you are getting into Newport Beach. It is fun to walk around the area and pop in the stores that are in this neighborhood. Some of the stuff there is more costume-ish or different kinds of things, but you will find all sorts of purposeful items in here. It is different than your regular thrift store because it is more like a vintage store and has consignment and some of the items cost more than some people would like but they also are authentic vintage that is worth what you are paying for it. Swellegant Vintage has been around or a long time in this same area. It is one of the stores that makes this area recognizable. The decor and style is so fun it is like stepping into a time warp when you get to visit this store. read more

So I was driving by Swellegant with my boyfriend in the car. We were coming down for the 4th, as I have moved to San Francisco but as a born and breed Newport Beach girl I always come home for the 4th. As we drove onto the Peninnsula he made a comment about "Swellegant being a funny name". Of course I was quick to jump to the defense of Swellegant. Although it has been years since I have been in, I hold Swellegant in high regard and have nothing but fond memories of shopping here. Newport does lack vintage shops. So this is a gem for that reason alone. But tru to Newport standards is very expensive. Not arm and a leg expensive but not Aardvarks cheap by any means. But they stuff you fid here is not only much better quality than you would find in more popular urban vintage shops but at least in my opinion a rarer find. The staff i all friendly and helpful. Take a minute and look around here. It's a side of Newport you should treat yourself to seeing. read more

Swellegant Vintage has amazing selection! The clothes are all in great condition and very reasonably priced - you can get a cocktail frock for under $50! Although vintage clothing tends to run small, I've found numerous dresses - and even shoes - which are a larger size. If you want to add some vintage to your modern wardrobe, this is the place to go! read more

Oh, the possibilities! Black velvet tops, long printed dresses, funky knit sweaters, colorful button down blouses, sequined sparkly tops, authentic leather boots, skinny vintage ties, quirky kitten heels, furry winter hats, tweed grandma suits- this place has it all. My friend bought two skinny ties ($12 each), and I bought a pair of black leather ankle boots from Brazil ($36) and a floral blouse ($12). Score! 100% vintage, 100% affordable, and now I'm 100% in love with this tiny eclectic boutique full of treasures. read more

A great vintage store, not to big, plenty of items. It was easy finding things in my size here, the pricing was not horrible... and i actually noticed plenty of 70 items like op corduroy shorts and suede vests. The shoe collection here is great as well as bags belts and accessories. They also have a swell men's section compared to most vintage stores I have been to, clothes are very clean here great stuff. N parking lots since it is by the beach, only meters and street parking, bring quarters! or park at the vons across the street read more

Tried to stop by and check this place out at 5pm on a Tuesday (business hours posted as open until 7pm) only to be met with a closed sign (that also indicates 7pm closing) with no return time.. Kind of a bummer, but glad I was just in the area and didn't make a drive over here for nothing! read more

I love the vintage looks here. Ranging from 30s-current day. It's kinda small but the staff there's really nice. The clothing is more toward women's. I like this place a lot for period pieces. read more

This little shop has really cool vintage 50' 60's clothing and memorabilia I felt I walked into a grandmas attic but I must be invisible because the clerk totally ignored me... service was not ideal I need a 50's rockabilly dress for a wedding and left with nothing since she was to busy gossiping.... read more

We were driving down to the beach when I saw the outside the store which immediately caught my attention. I convinced my friend to stop and take a look. So we walk in, and the store is filled with unique vintage pieces. The store owner was friendly, and when I asked to try some stuff on, she's just like "yeah, go right ahead!" this is the first time an employee hasn't treated me like a potential thief or something by counting the clothing and limiting my merchandise and all that stuff. it was a nice change. we ended up buying two oversized christmas sweaters for $24 each and a sixties hippie shirt for $12, which was reasonable. Two weeks later, I find myself coming back. At home I did some vintage dating ad found out it was an early 70's shirt. Great store!! read more

This place is amazing! Great selection of a variety of time periods. The prices are extremely reasonable (especially compared to LA) my go to vintage shop! read more

I love going in here just to browse, there's a lot of unique items to be found. I've been here a couple times now and I have yet to buy anything, but I definitely haven't given up on this place yet. Very cute looking store, and although it is small like other yelpers have said, it's definitely PACKED with stuff inside without being too messy. I would say her prices are pretty fair, it is meant to be a vintage shop, not a thrift store. read more

Just went here to look for a costume and I walk in and I'm the only customer in there and the two employees don't even acknowledge me! Even when I was at the counter looking at their jewelry they didn't say a word to me! Who do these people think they are? Never coming back! And I have a HUGE shopping and spending problem so these people r missing out on a good customer! read more

All of a sudden vintage was a thing in OC after stores like Deelux and Buffalo opened up, when great places like Swellegant have been here for years, with gem after gem of the real thing in a fun setting. The owner of this store takes a lot of care with her pieces, which are so well organized it's sends a little thrill down your spine when you walk in. It's the perfect place to hunt when you can't take the racks at Flashbacks, or the junk at aforementioned haunts of the general OC Lab populace. read more

This is a REAL vintage shop. Nicole, who was working (and I think, the owner), was so helpful and very nice. I made some great purchases. The selection is huge! The prices are fair. And there is everything!!! I came across some of the most truly unique items. Three cheers for Swellegant!!! read more

absolutely wonderful selection and staff hours are a bit odd but a great find out in newport

The store is jam packed with authentic vintage clothing and all in really great condition... clothes at least. The shoes and bags not so much. Some of the small accessories were new but that is typical w thrift stores. Although their selection is legit and in such good condition I still found the prices to be quite high. $32 for men's swim trunks. We can buy new ones at that price. Also it was VERY hot in there... open up some windows or get some AC for the poor girl working inside!! read more

Small, tight packed store. Lots of clothing to look through. Okay pricing.

Cool, unique, high quality vintage clothing and accessories. I never leave without something in my hands when I stop by here, and I usually leave with more than I expected to. I think the best part is the owner always knows approximately what era a piece is from, which lends so much more authenticity to the experience. My collection from Swellegant includes some 40's low top cowboy boots, 70's bell bottoms, brown vintage suede sport coat, some crazy 60's shirt with bicycles on it, some 80's pink neon swim trunks, a hand painted leather 60's purse (gift for Mom?), and the list goes on. Check it out! read more

Great place to go to find some really neat vintage clothing. I'm a guy and they have a decent collection of clothes even for me. More guys should shop here! read more

My friend and I drove up to Swellegant last week under the impression that the store opened at 12. We parked in front at 12:15 and it was closed. The sign on the door said "12-ish" which, according to the sign in tiny print is "11:59am-12:59pm." How is a minute before 1, 12ish!? Anyway we walked around for an hour and it was well passed 1 and the store still wasn't open. In that time, 3 others walked by and away when they saw the closed sign. You lost 5 customers Swellegant and it just seems like bad business if you can't even get the store open before 1. The stuff in the window looked cute, too. read more

Had a fabulous experience here! I found exactly what I needed, dress, purse and a hat! The staff, Christian, was so knowledgeable and helpful for male and female styles. He even stayed late with us! Which I so appreciate because we were in a pinch. The next time I need vintage, I'm coming back! read more

A great store with real vintage stuff. The owner of the store is so helpful and knows what goes with what era, let you try it on and take your time and what's somewhat rare in stores, she lets you browse through the store and not being pushy, although she offers to help. They have a great selection of vintage items in very good condition. read more
