We were barely in there two minutes when the woman in the store said "Are you here to shop, or to have a meeting?" Odd that three young women can walk into a store and not be welcomed or offered assistance, but rather questioned about why they are talking to each other. My only guess is that the clerk did not want three women of color in her store. I rarely experience this level of racist hostility in Philadelphia, but I encourage you not to support this store. I can't comment on the quality of the clothes because we barely had a chance to come inside and look around.

But I was appalled with how I was treated by one of the employees there. I had been chatting with one of the owners, I think- Ariel? She was sweet as could be and shared my enthusiasm over an amazing eggplant wool dress and coat from the fifties. She told me the price and after admiring it I decided to try it on. By this time, Ariel had stepped out and another female employee stepped in. I remarked to her that it was so beautiful and I'd like to try it on, to which she sneered, very obviously looked me up and down, and said, "well, it only really fits a size 2...". Not that it makes any difference what size I am, but I'm between a 4 and 6 and was appalled at her rudeness. I asked the waist measurement (it was definitely larger than a 2) and she didn't know. When I said I'd like to give it a try, she scoffed and said, "well, it's $250, so don't force it". Excuse me?! How dare she say something like that! I'm not a child who is unaware of the delicacy of vintage clothing, and am not disillusioned about my size- I did try it on and it all fit except for the bust, because the waist was very high up on the dress and I have a long torso. The girl asked if it fit, and I told her the bodice was too short, and she replied that the original owner was very short and petite. That's what she should've told me about the size-I'm tall, around 5'9", and it would be very obvious it wouldn't fit if it was tailored for a short woman. Instead she made it about weight with her tone and comments. She then tried to get me to try on the original clothing line, saying it goes well with an "hourglass" shape, but I was so furious and embarrassed that I left. No one should be commenting on anyone's size, no matter how veiled, and to assume I would damage the garment? Uncalled for, unacceptable, and just plain mean. It was not said out of concern for the dress- it was malicious and very ill intended. I also felt like she was insinuating I couldn't afford it, anyway. I'll not return to be treated to poorly, and that's a shame, because this shop has potential.

However the most exciting bit is the original Earl Salko lines of clothes by Ariel, who is always there at the sewing machine and helping people find something. I bought a dress here after admiring the simple lines and unfussy design of a dress in the window. I didn't have time to try it on, and when it didn't look just right (too shiny for daytime wear) I brought it back and Ariel exchanged it for a more work-appropriate dress, no problem. Everyone who works here is super sweet and goes out of their way to help you in a non-intrusive manner. Joyously recommended to fans of vintage and super-simple, locally made clothes.

Let me start by saying what I wish I knew years ago. THIS IS A GOODWILL STORE!…read more Retrospect is owned by Goodwill. They pull all the vintage items out of their donations and send them here to be up-charged to high heaven even though they acquired all the items for free! Ever wonder why you can't find affordable nice vintage pieces while at Goodwill anymore? It is because they were all sent here! They used to hide the fact that they were a Goodwill store super well, but recently I noticed that their POS system had the Goodwill logo, and when I asked the staff member about it she confirmed exactly what I'm saying. There are many other vintage stores that are curated and sourced all over the city. Support those small businesses who invest in their craft over Goodwill, a large corp that gets all its inventory for free.

The store is chock full of STUFF for children and women in junior through plus sizes; then there's the jewelry, shoes, bags, and other accessories. The selection is rather overwhelming. This is a place where I'd have to come in knowing what I'm looking for in advance. I think Rainbow markets itself toward young women & teenagers. Interestingly, this store is very narrow & very deep. It felt like I walked a city block to reach the back of the store. Prices are cheap cheap cheap; the entire back of the store is $3 to $5 & I would wager that nothing in here is over $25. However, the merchandise is pretty uninspiring. It basically runs from basic to trendy. Nothing formal or suitable for the office. The shoes & handbags are pretty tacky, and the quality of clothing construction runs from subpar to average. I had to leave because the hip-hop/pop mix was making me a little insane. Other than that, it was very calm. If you know you want a certain type of tank top or something, Rainbow's a good pocket-friendly bet. Otherwise, nothing special.

I once dated this rock-n-roll guy and every time I commented on his cool style he always said...I found it in a thrift or consignment store. I get giddy when I find a piece that fits my sense of style. Today was one of those days...a dark denim A-Line skirt with a zipper in the front. The only one hanging and in my size!! I also tried on a pink top that caught my eye but was hesitant until the cashier, Danni, said she liked it on me when she saw me trying it on. Sold! Everything is neatly sorted by size and different types of clothing. Ex: tops, shorts, jeans, pants, jackets, shoes, athletic wear, etc. Danni told me that the owner is very particular about accepting clothes that are in great condition only. There are always new pieces coming in every week and I look forward to dropping by again the next time I am in the area. I found the prices to be very reasonable.

Some of her favorite designers are Givenchy, Chanel (of course, she probably keeps the Chanel), Joan Rivers, and anything Swarovski. But, you can also find pieces by the likes of Weiss and Selro here as well. Also, keep an eye out for the decadent vintage Whiting & Davis Bags she loves to stock!!! Simply Charming!
