This vintage clothing and accessory shop is just the right amount of funky/cool/chic/kooky items that will hit the spot for young festival types or anyone who wants to look effortlessly fashionable in a non-trendy, youthful kind of style. You'll find 60's & 70's mod & hippie styles mixed in with modern workwear like Dickies denim overalls. The store is designed with an ease for finding garments with little vignettes of complimentary oddities arranged in a shrine like fashion. I imagine the Coachella crowd eats up a lot of the merch here. Prices are very good for the wares; I saw a 60's faux fur tiger patterned coat for $250 that I've seen in L.A. for $800 for the exact same one. (it's killer - and I have one myself!) The woman working the counter was very friendly and was overheard recommending other vintage stores to customers which earns mad respect from me. My one piece of bitchery is due to the lack of parking; I have a car that I need to keep an eye on and I had to park far away which kept me a bit uncomfortable. If you're shopping here from L.A. that will not bother you at all. I highly recommend spending quality time and money at Thriftology! read more

Eclectic thrift shop but the burning of incense was overwhelming. I had to leave after 60 seconds and couldn't shop. read more

Any store that has a sign that is so racist I can't believe it even stayed in business so long you can't do that with people . Veryrude for a store to do that not welcoming at all, that might be why it closed read more

Absolutely ridiculous! Every business should be required to keep their hours and open/closed days UPDATED on Yelp and Google. If you can't even take 5 minutes out of your day--or have one of your employees do it--to make sure your business info is correct, that's just BAD management. Period. People waste time, gas, and energy driving out to places that are closed when they say they're open. It's beyond frustrating and shows zero respect for your customers. There's no excuse in 2025 for businesses not keeping their info current. Do better! read more

Thriftology - It's Tuesday and it's 3:30pm. The door has a sign that says closed TUESDAYS! - Thrift Stores Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Interesting collection of vintage and new. Most prices were very high. However, I did buy a vintage formal dress for $20. I didn't care for the mural on the building. It's offensive. I did think twice about going in because of that, but I had not been to Thriftology since they were previously located on San Pablo. I have been wanting to stop in for a while, so, I was curious. I thought they were more humble, but there's a sign on the door that tells you to leave if you are racist, misogynistic, etc. Of course nobody wants to be around this types of people. I get it. It's your business and you can refuse the right to do business with anyone, but it's so unnecessary and not very inclusive. How can you spot a racist? They have another store around back that carries lots of different spiritual paraphernalia. But not of the God kind. This place is not for everyone. It's definitely not for me. I'm good. There are lots of thrift shops out there that are not biased or woke. read more

Thriftology - Mural - Thrift Stores Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Just spent about 20 minutes shopping picked out the cutest pair of dickies... they were $36. I went to pay with 100 and the lady would not take it. She said it would take all her change. Literally lost a sale. I've been in here before I probably won't ever come back.. it's 2026 stock your drawer with cash. And to be honest, I feel a little discriminated against. So you're telling me if anybody else pays in cash and it's under 100. It's OK. You can give change back at some point. You may give all the change away but at least you're making sales. I wonder if it had anything to do with all of my tattoos? So bizarre.. I encourage to find people who want to make your store money.. read more

lovely lady owner and terrific clothes for sale! we come out to the desert 3/4 times a year and this is one of the first 4 businesses we visit. read more

I'm from LA and always interested in going to different thrift shops whenever on vacation. I came upon this one after discovering MumuMansion in LA which carries plus size options. Thriftology has different sizes INCLUDING plus size and you can tell each piece was hand picked based on all the beautiful patterns hung across the store. I highly recommend and can't wait to come back! read more

Fun little thrift store in Palm Desert with limited parking out front. Very friendly staff, orderly but limited selection of jewelry and clothes. I found a fun neoprene purse for $9, which was a fair price for a used purse in good condition. The incense smell is a bit overwhelming when you first walk in, though. read more

Amazing service with a great selection of clothing from XS to XXXXL everything your heart desires. Clothes are evaluated on their value before hitting the racks, didn't see any stains or anything! read more

If you're looking for a thrift store that oozes charm, nostalgia, and character, this is the spot! I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Dutchess, who personally handpicks and curates every piece in the store. The vibe is a perfect mix of desert chic with personal touches from her Afro Latina roots, giving the space a cozy yet eclectic feel. What sets this shop apart is not just the range of pieces--from vintage gems to modern must-haves--but the care that goes into each item. Everything is in pristine condition, as Dutchess takes the extra step to wash and care for the merchandise. The diversity in sizes and brands is refreshing, making it a place where anyone can find something special. The price point is amazing for the quality! I picked out a gorgeous vintage Oscar de la Renta satin robe, some .925 silver hoops, and a few skirts--all in amazing condition! It's so important to support minority-owned businesses, and this Afro Latina-run treasure is definitely worth backing. La cultura is alive here, and I'll keep coming back! read more

Very fun experience! And great value definitely going back soon. The staff was very pleasant and helpful and there's a great shop in the back too. It's a far drive for us, but will be going back very soon. read more

Thriftology is a great little store, and by little I mean perfectly curated items all packing into a deceptively big space. The lady working when I visited is so sweet and funny I grabbed some AMAZING items, I can't wait to visit again! read more

What a fun shop. It reminds me of a curated thrift shop I remember in the 90s, Aardvarks, in The Valley, except this shop is more organized. The people that work here are delightful and made us feel welcomed, for sure. The owner and I briefly discussed a painting of NKOTB and it turns out both of us preferred Donnie ^_^ We found many statement pieces in the clothing section. If you are into styling photos, or modeling cool vintage stuff, you could find what you need here. The sign on the door made me feel safe, too. It was clear they don't allow a**holes inside. First time I've ever been to a place like that! read more

Went on a Tuesday to do some shopping g before leaving Indio. I thought to call before making my way there but couldn't find a number to the store so decided to take a chance and pull up. Yelp hours say they're open but was disappointed to get there and see that they are closed Monday-Wednesday. Leaving this review to hopefully save someone some time in the future. read more

This is the best thrift store in the entire Coachella Valley. The variety of clothes is great, and the sizes are well labeled. Everything is clean and well taken care of. Stock is moved frequently. But what makes the store heads and tails above any others is the owner Dutchess. Dutchess makes every guest feel like family. She is genuinely happy to see you and to help with any questions you may have. She supports local artists and gives them space in her store so it's a nice mix of vintage and handmade. Every business should have a similar message as the one on this door. Seriously cool! read more

The store is nicely displayed. Better than a thrift store. I drove 30mins out from my villa to have an experience with this shop. I personally didn't find anything I wanted to purchase due to the cost of items. I respect their pricing. Ss a vintage clothing seller myself I understand unique pieces brings in higher value. I do recommend this shop if you're interested area. However be aware you will not pay thrift store/goodwill prices. read more

This used to be my favorite thrift but now it's more like a boutique with the high prices. I guess they has to raise them exponentially to afford the bungalows they bought in the back, bummer. read more

I have been to several thrift stores in the area and this one is one is by far the most organized one I have been to. Not only are they size inclusive (I saw up to 4X in the store in every style of clothing for men and women) at AFFORDABLE prices, but their clothes are organized by size and type. There are cute little displays with earrings and other jewelry and trinkets, and some beautiful locally made candles and incense at the front. The decor is very whimsical and cool, and the staff was very sweet, especially the young man at the counter and the blonde woman with the piercings. The shop is clean and comfortable to navigate, and as someone who gets overwhelmed by the way some shops have their things strewn about, it was nice to have an easy way to find what I was looking for without stressing over it. The vibe, the design, the people--all amazing. This is the best place in the area. read more

Thriftology - The storefront - Thrift Stores Near Me - Palm Desert, California

There were some very beautiful pieces here but I was on the hunt for kids items and this place had none so I didn't buy anything. I would liken this to a consignment store rather than a thrift store because of the nicer items and higher prices. read more

I have never met another shop owner who takes so much pride in her business. Seeing her business grow from what it was, to what it is now, simply amazes me! Every little detail has been carefully considered, from the decor, to the selection of clothing and accessories. You're not just getting your regular retail clerking transaction, you come to Thriftology and get an EXPERIENCE! The owner really values her employees, and her customers and it shows. I would highly recommend Thriftology for anybody seeking quality and high valued merchandise. I will definitely be returning for another experience. read more

Super cute shabby chic thrift boutique! The owner was super friendly and I like the fact that they launder all the clothes. Several high end brands & a wide selection. Very organized. Plus they have a sister store in the back(The good neighbor) super cute as well. Also, a fun value section outside $20 for as many items that you can fit in the bag!!! Great find! read more

I'm in love with this store and the people who work there/own it. The level of curation meant finding clothing that was so fun to look at and some that is coming back to Seattle with me. I was pleasantly surprised by the prices. The owner and young women working there were helpful and a delight to talk with. I'd go to Thriftology weekly if I lived in PD. read more

Buyer beware! This may be advertised as a thrift shop but it is definitely not thrift prices. This is a preowned clothing store selling at retail prices. No deals to be found here. read more

This place is a safe space for creative individuals. You think you're just walking into a typical thrift store, but this is the farthest from typical. From the moment you walk up to the entrance, you're greeted with a smile from the Owner herself, or one of her friendly staff members. I have found some of the most amazing pieces of clothing here. I am a plus sized individual, and they carry up to 24+ and 4XL+ You have to stop by often because they're always putting out new items. read more

Great store! Will stop every time we are in town. Hope she opens lots of these and has tons of energy! Much love and success to this artist family. You have so much talent! read more

Thriftology - She loves purple & flowers. Namaste. - Thrift Stores Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Definitely not the usual Thrift Store! Boutique set up, very Urban, Bohemian type feel! Usually thrifts have an old smell, and aren't the cleanest; Thriftology was VERY clean, well organized, and no smell! Racks had size conversions, very much convenient & appreciated. They had patches, buttons, pins, rings, glasses, Art prints and more! Clothes were stylish, lots of vintage, and name brand things. The staff was so pleasant! I got the cutest pair of vintage jeans! Definitely recommend. read more

I'm in looooooooove with this shop. Dutchess is a beautiful soul with great style that's infused throughout the whole shop. I found my new favorite pieces and can't wait to come back to hunt for more. The best part is that I can wear them right off the rack since they are washed and smell sooooo good. Great quality clothes, wonderful customer service, and awesome finds on every each and shelf! I came on a great weekend since there was a 30% sale! Definitely worth the drive from Temecula and my new go to when I'm in town. Oh and everyone wore masks! She also has beautiful masks and mask chains for sale. read more

Amazing service and the best curation of clothing in the valley. You'll find everything reasonably priced based on the quality you seek.

The owner is super friendly and helpful. We were visiting from out of town and found a few gems to take home with us!

Love this store! Great items and a variety of love the staff - super nice! Love the unique items, jewelry, really great clothes and shoes!

Overpriced clothing, you could find better selection elsewhere for cheaper. Really stand-offish service. The vibe is just generally off.

A great little gem of a store. Clothing is well chosen, prices are great, selection is great! NOT your run-of-the-mill resale shop. No junk here! The owner takes time to pick cool, hip & fashionable items. She is really helpful & friendly. I will definitely shop here on a regular basis read more

If you are reading this review, you most likely searched Thrift/Second Hand/Vintage on Yelp and you are trying to decide which store out of the many available you should visit. STOP!!!! everything you are doing and put Thriftology at the top of your list!!! I've been to many Thrift stores, Antique Shops, Second Hand/Resale ect in this valley and I've also managed a luxury consignment store, so I have pretty well rounded experience in these types of shops. This shop is a gem! What I love about Thriftology, The owner, Dutchess and her staff are very genuine and friendly and not pushy at all. Realness in any sales person is a very underrated quality! Some luxury stores nearby should take notes! It has an eclectic mix of merchandise and each item is hand selected. There were some contemporary/designer clothing like the FP dress I purchased and the Miu Miu tee with holes in it(but only $10) also some vintage, some just totally random and unique, and some stuff just simple and cool(random graphic tees) the store itself smells amazing and has good music playing that really fit the vibe. Also very clean! the prices are fair!!! She pays for all of her merchandise and does the footwork to find the treasures. Her pricing is on par with standard second hand resale pricing which is usually 25-30 percent of retail value. Some items much less. (Especially compared to how some shops in this Valley price Vintage) THESE ARE NOT DONATIONS!!!! You are not gonna find $1 clothing or even $5(well maybe on sale rack which was 75%off) but another thing your not gonna find is a 20 racks worth off crap(that you have to spend hours looking through)that's dirty, boring, endless amounts of fast fashion brands like F21, like you would at a good will or angelview . (Which FYI: has raised there prices and are selling women's dresses for almost $10, used dirty shoes that are Walmart brands for $10... you get the idea!) another thing I love was how passionate the owner is about her business and you can see it the moment you walk in. She also sells some of her 2 daughters creations(included in pics), creativity apparently runs in the family. It's a decent sized store and is well merchandised so if your like me you can make your way through every section without spending the whole day or feeling like you missed something. Store is stocked but not over filled to where you can't move hangers! So seriously check out this store, even if you somehow aren't able to find something you cannot live without (It happens to all us thrifters every now and then) go for the experience! read more
