    behold the Manolos....
    Joan S.

    Updating my review from October '04.....five years have passed, how time flies! And I'm adding a star because this thrift shop seriously rocks. (The Out of the Closet location across the street is gone now, it should be noted. And...my original review is short because in the very early days of Yelp we were limited to just a couple sentences. So yeah, times have changed....) UCLA Thrift can be a bit pricey, but it's clean and well-organized and chock full of designer duds. I've seen outstanding vintage furniture here, but yesterday I saw nothing interesting in the way of home decor. Like all thrift shops, it's hit or miss. They did have a crapload of CDs that were getting picked through by a bunch of shoppers. In fact, the place was crowded, and there was a small line at the cash register. There's always a good selection of jewelry here, and always a lot of nice ladies shoes. http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/qWCh4zwYjtqh2sRFseLctA/l Yesterday I spotted Manolo Blahniks that looked like they'd never been worn. I think they were $95 bucks, though, about a size 8. http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/Sus47jIGoM6n1k3A3ooOlw/l A white Tahari blazer called to me, and when I tried it on it fit perfectly. I paid 25 bucks for it, can't wait to wear it. Other sightings were: Seven jeans for 30 bucks (they're cheap at TJ Maxx, too). http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/WT98Mks0BBLz6HYortIUcA/l And pink leather Frye boots, also for 30 bucks. Dang it I shoulda bought those..... There's a men's clothing section here, too, http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/mo5eS09Z_E1VE5m8saT5PA/l but the women's clothes are by far the main attraction. http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/p_rQFKpzlgEYCyzEWoXL-w/l The donations come from celebs & others who live in nearby Bel Air and Bev Hills. It's good stuff, I never leave empty-handed despite my best efforts to control my enthusiasm...... As long as you're there, walk diagonally across the intersection and check out the shop's annex. It's a small space with children's stuff & more home furnishings. http://www.yelp.com/biz/ucla-thrift-store-los-angeles-2#hrid:e_B92-pikIfEBpbxi-ozVQ/src:self Metered parking surrounds the shop, so bring quarters. Both the main shop and the annex are closed Sundays & Mondays. Hours are: Tuesday - Friday 10 - 4, and Saturday from 10 - 3. They do take credit cards, fortunately for me.....haha.....

    From the Massachusetts Ave./Sawtelle corner.

    Deals and steals! So delighted this consignment shop exists on the Westside. I've come across and…read morepurchased some amazing consigned men's items at this store -- Chrome Hearts hoodie, sweats, and sunglasses; Balenciaga trench coat; Rimowa luggage; Bottega Veneta & Loewe tote bags. The staff here is so welcoming and sincere, and are not afraid to strike up a warm conversation. The store is run very efficiently for consignors as well -- I've consigned many men's designer that have sold quickly here. I'd say it's easier to find nice designer womenswear. Men's designer is harder to find, but at times you'l get lucky with designer menswear.

    Used to love this place but now it's more of a buyer beware situation, based on a recent…read moreexperience. I purchased two candle holders and later got a voicemail saying I owed an additional 33 cents because they'd undercharged me. Odd amount to call about, but I was out of town and didn't call back right away. The next day I answered a call (that turned out to be from them) asking for someone else entirely. Assuming the number was possibly spam, I googled the number, saw it was Trove, and then emailed them directly, saying I understood I owed 33 cents and asking for an invoice. They corrected me. I actually owed $33, not 33 cents, they couldn't send an invoice by email, and wanted me to call and give my card info over the phone instead. After everything already off with this (the wrong number call, the 33-cent voicemail, no email invoicing), I didn't feel comfortable reading my card number to someone over the phone. I offered to stop by in person instead, and asked in advance if they could have a receipt ready showing my original 33 cent charge, so I wouldn't be making the trip for nothing. I rearranged my lunch break to make this happen and showed up as planned. No receipt. They said they'd emailed it, but I'd specifically asked for a printed copy, the least they could do given this was their error to begin with. That request took several days notice and still didn't happen. Their printer was "acting up," so I got no receipt for the original charge and none for the new $33 charge, either! An error on their end turned into a special trip, wasted time on my lunch break, and still no paperwork to show for any of it. Disappointing customer service, especially when the customer is the one who has to burn their own time fixing your mistake. Edited to add, following their reply: I was never contesting the dollar amount being charged. I was happy to pay for what I purchased. I stated that they asked me to call in my card over the phone. I addressed why I was uncomfortable with doing that, and had asked for a way to provide payment electronically. When that option was not available I offered to come in. My disappointment is that despite their error, the wrong amount owed left on my voicemail, a random "wrong number" phone call from them, and inability to accept payment over something like square invoicing / Venmo / etc., all I asked for was a printed receipt. If someone has to make time to come in and fix your error, it's the least you could have done. I'm now even more disappointed in them after this response.
