The shop is incredibly body-positive and truly size inclusive, which makes it feel welcoming to everyone. The racks are full of amazing vintage clothes, unique accessories, jewelry, and the best little knickknacks -- the kind of unexpected treasures you didn't even know you needed until you see them.

The vibe is relaxed and friendly -- the kind of place you want to wander around for hours. There's absolutely no pressure to buy anything. You can just enjoy the space, chat, try things on, and leave with a smile on your face and maybe even a new friend. MuMu Mansion isn't just a vintage store -- it's an experience.

I spent the day shopping on Melrose looking specifically for vintage clothing and was largely…read moredisappointed by the offerings since my favorite stores have closed in the past few years. On my way back to my car, like a mirage in the desert, I saw the pink awning that is Dear Earl. So cute with big VINTAGE writing, I knew it was about to be good. Sure enough, Dear Earl did not disappoint!! I collect vintage tapestry coats and was able to get not one, but TWO at this store!! I got many more things in addition to those and the store is beautifully displayed with racks outside, stylish mannequins, and an eclectic selection of vintage from ladylike sets to Pleasers. Highly recommend checking out this store for alternative style and dopamine dressing!!

Hi all! I rarely write reviews but after my last visit, I have some thoughts. I visited once a few…read moreyears ago, but I'm saddened to say that the quality has gone down and I don't know if I'll be returning any time soon. The shop has a great selection of jewelry and knickknacks, but the clothing is extremely limited - especially for the price point. I'm not even large in size, but all of the clothing ranged from size xxxxxs - medium (yes, an actual piece had 5 x's). Now this really wasn't the problem since I got some jewelry and the owner even comped a broken pair of earrings! Now moving on to the customer service. I understand the owner has some concerns with shoplifters, but the way she now conducts the store is overkill. You have to call to get in, and she locks you in once you're inside and she is the only one "allowed" to let you out. She also was so intense towards me and other customers in the shop that it took away from the pleasant experience I was looking forward to. What I mean by this is: 1) Every item has a "DO NOT TOUCH" or "NO PHOTOS" or some other loud sign that makes it impossible to move throughout the store or explore items. 2) Any time I picked up an item, the owner immediately hovered over me and 'offered' to take it to the front before I was even done looking at it. This happened 3 separate times. 3) The owner actually SHOVED my mother to the side to race to the door and let some customers out since they're locked in and not allowed any autonomy to leave despite MULTIPLE cameras everywhere. Mind you, the owner had on thick platform boots and stepped on my mom's foot and didn't say 'excuse me' or anything of the sort. 4) The owner was extremely hypervigilant and would stare down customers while frowning at them (no joke, just like this: ) all while customers were just looking at pieces (because they were not allowed to be touched). 5) The breaking point was when I had just purchased my earrings and was moving to leave, but the owner genuinely started mumbling to herself and eventually got louder, saying, "No, no, no!! This guy's a bad guy!! NO NO!! HE'S BAD UGHH!!!" and started to duck behind the counter and pull at her hair. This freaked me out because now I'm locked in this shop with her as she's tweaking. I turned to my mom and, at that instant, decided we needed to leave at that very moment. The entire experience was bizarre and it's evident that the owner's experiences with previous shoplifters has translated into something that denies the customer a decent experience. The entire shop's atmosphere was paranoid, stifled, constricted, and anything but decent/relaxed. Good music though. I bid good luck to anyone that dares venture into that cutthroat space.

Although the collection is still intimate, you will find unique pieces for a variety of occasions with really reasonable prices to boot! I visited the shop after several great recommendations to look at engagement rings. After chatting with Larry Platt for some time, I knew this was the place I wanted to find my ring. His knowledge and ability to find truly the most unique vintage pieces blew me away. While I was shopping, I noticed a lady trying on a to die for floor length full embroidered dinner gown that was absolutely stunning. I couldn't resist having a peek and even coming from the fashion industry myself, I have to say, I was more than impressed! I found the coolest 1960's white shift dress with diamante trim that was in perfect condition and fit me like a glove. Even better, I didn't fall over when I saw the price tag. Robyn, Larry's wife & Kit Vintage founder, is the hippest & sweetest pint sized stylist gone shop girl! She offers great ideas for whatever event you have and is super cool and laid back when it comes to a sale. You really get the vibe that she truly loves what she does and is just enjoying sharing her stellar finds. Do yourself a favor next time you are in that hood and check it out. A guaranteed delight!

The shop offers a mix of branded and non-branded vintage clothing that has been carefully curated. I saw some beautiful pieces from Versace, Armani, and YSL, as well as other brands.

The lady (who I believe is the owner) does allow people to shop on their own but if you need recommendations or assistance, she's very happy to offer suggestions. I had tried on a Versace skirt and liked it, but felt it was maybe too similar to something I already owned at home. I did not get much time to shop in here, but I would come back again if I was in town. In terms of parking, street metered parking is your best bet. It seems there was a lot when I went on Tuesday.

First of all...I'm a pro musician living and working in L.A. I met the owner of Come to Mama,…read moreTerri Mussatti, a little over two years ago in Santa Monica and was so impressed by her personal style that I commented her on it. She then quickly disclosed that she was the owner of vintage clothes shop in Silverlake and to stop by and she would 'hook me up'. We exchanged information and kept in touch...and, no, I never did go into the shop before I met her again in person on the westside (Yes, I admit that I'm a sheltered Santa Monican... going east of the 405 can be terrifying :) ). Anywho, she knew that I was a musician and offered to style me for my next show with vintage (not my usual thing); I just needed to come into the shop and she'd take care of the rest...I ended up taking her up on her offer. I went into the shop and was BLOWN AWAY by the look and feel of the shop. (To be honest my first reaction was 'this is gonna be spendy') So, when Terri wasn't looking I checked out a price tag and was pleasantly surprised to find a great deal for an awesome hand-picked dress. And, shortly after couldn't help but notice (it's the bargain shopper in me)the $5 trunk in the back of her shop. It was filled to the BRIM with treasure! A multitude of beautiful, colorful, mint-condition scarves, some tanks, dresses, belts...a great bikini top... More info: Come to Mama also has hand-made overdye slips and corsets... REALLY kewl chunky-funky jewlery (my favorite thing and the shop next door 'Hung on You' has the most excellent feather earrings)...the scarves are GREAT for headwraps...purses and shoes that no one else has, with almost a 'punk rock' vintage look in mind (not that I know...ha ha). To round this out... I have since changed my entire style and image to a vintage classy but sexy style. Terri has been so lovely as to style me on several occasions and somehow can size-up a piece hand it to me...and it fits PERFECTLY. And, I've seen her in action in the store with other clients and customers. She's very gracious and has a light, loving spirit...stemming somewhere from the 60's or 70's I would imagine ;). She is also straight forward about what Does, and DOESN'T look good on a lady. (My pet peeve is when someone is working on comission and will sell you anything even if it's not flattering.) I guess it makes sense...what looks good on you...will look good for her. Thank you Come to Mama. Can I consider you a sponsor? :)

Come to Mama....just don't come to mama if you are a paying customer and need to use their restroom…read morebecause you will get shut down, homie. So I randomly discovered this shop at the Sunset Junction this year. It was nearing the end of night one and I was taking a break from the Yelp booth and thought I'd stretch my legs a bit and saunter about. Upon walking in, I was delighted at the really cute selection of vintage lingerie, dresses, skirts, and SHOES. I, of course, B-lined for this adorable pair of patchwork Kenzie's (not vintage, but looked very retro) and low and behold they were just my size. Yay! As I was sitting there trying them on, I noticed that the store had one of our Yelp fans up above their scarf case and I thought, Yay, how awesome! They are supportin Yelp, even better! I then went up to the front to pay for my purchase and the space cadet working here, who is also the owner, is really flustered and wandering around the near empty store, until a group of her friends and/or regulars walk in and they say, "Can we use the bathroom" to which she says, "Of course! Go on in!" She then turns around and comes to the register and starts ringing me up. I remark on the Yelp fan and tell her that's really cool of her to support us and I tell her I work with Yelp. As she's ringing up my $52.00 purchase, I kindly and politely ask her if I could possibly use her restroom, please. She says, "No, sorry, I can't let anyone use it." I look at her like, c'mon, you just let 4 people go and use it? Are you seriously going to say that with a straight face? The girls then come out of the back area and say, "thanks for letting us use your bathroom, take care girl" etc, etc. I then look at her, with with my purchase already rung up and say to her, again, very politely, "Really? I did just buy something..." To which she says, "No, we don't have a restroom." Now, this just really pissed me off....yes, every pun intended...but seriously, i am a paying customer, I am polite, I am asking her nicely and she is still saying no. It would have been one thing if I hadn't seen the other girls go in or even understandable if she was an employee and the owner said, Don't let anyone use the bathroom during the Junction. i would have totally understood and respected that, but she was THE owner and for her to let them go right in front of me and then pull that bullsh*t with me was just lame! So while the store has some cute stuff, I just didn't think that was very cool of her. It's not like I was some drunk and belligerent party goer trashing her place in the middle of a packed store, i was a vintage seeking customer who loves to support local shops, purchasing something from her at a slow time in the evening. Whatevs lady, hope your bullsh*t reasoning was worth it.
