I went home with a few Korean version of Chiikawa blind boxes and a nigiri bag keychain to gift my friend as souvenirs. The cashier was friendly and welcoming. They even have a vinyl album section next door. Definitely worth checking out when you're in Japantown.

Trove is a wonderful resale and consignment store. They have a huge selection of gently used items…read more You can get designer or name brand clothing, all sorts of accessories, purses, shoes, things for your home and they even have a baby section. Their prices are quite reasonable. Many items are up to 80% off what you would pay for great clothes and bags. They also have some nice art now and again it is all fairly priced. This is not a Salvation Army type store, yes, all items are used, but all are designer or something you may have seen in a store. They do not have a huge vintage section and that is fine. It has just really nice things that I would end up paying a lot more for new. The service is great. The staff is nice and knows what is in the store and where. If you are looking for a nice bag, they have it or some nice clothes. I have bought a few things there and I have never been disappointed.

I purchased some lamps, and older vintage antiques here. Place has been around a long time. I also found some items to decorate my home with. Everything is relatively cheap, depending on what the items are. Service was good, and I had a good experience for my first time here.

Raggedy Threads is my favorite vintage store in L.A. - no contest. Don't let this tiny little store…read more- located in a tiny little corner of Little Tokyo - fool you: It's like a treasure trove of rare finds. I've been on a huge vintage kick lately, so this store has been my go-to source for old tees. My reasons for going vintage are primarily environmental since the carbon footprint and resources needed to make new clothes are substantial - and incredibly wasteful when there's so much awesome used clothing out there. Another reason: Your friends can't copy your style. Most recently, I picked up a few tees from the 1970s and 80s. Being in L.A. they get a lot of local and California vintage shirts with logos, designs, and jokes that only true Californians would get. I couldn't resist buying a Castroville "Giant Artichoke" tee they had over the summer. Personally, I tend to gravitate towards regional finds like these because they bring back such great memories of my youth and of family road trips up and down my home state. They also carry old college (Go Bears!), high school, and everyone's favorite - summer camp tees. Plus, you cannot beat the vintage fit from the 70s/80s. Caveat: Today's "S" is equivalent to an "M" or bigger because people were presumably thinner back then. So do your part for the environment and look effortlessly stylish doing it by shopping used and vintage! And there's no better place in L.A. for this than Raggedy Threads.

They carry a huge selection of men's and women's clothing, shoes, jewelry, and accessories. Most of them are from the 1920's to the 90's. Also they carry vintage guitars. All these nice items are neatly organized in their 2000sq ft store; stuff can be found by era and size in a brightly lit spacious environment. I found a nice brown bomber jacket (see photo) that I dig a lot albeit out of my price range. Price ranges from $5 to over $200 bucks. Atmosphere was relaxing. Staff was affable. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and I recommend this vintage store.

This place has lost some of its charm. It was so awesome when Michi and Miranda were always around…read more Great vibe, super friendly, cool music. Not only has the selection gone downhill (I saw Target brand jeans for sale listed as "80s"), the cashier is off-putting (grey hair lady).... I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt but every time I've been she is consistently rude to me and the customers. Bad attitude! I'd give her 1 star. Frankly I'm only giving 4 stars here in hopes that Michi sees this and tries to restore the good vibes. I don't want to bring this place down.
