I was in a bind and totally screwed. I had a festival the next day, and only $30 to spend on two days worth of outfits. I managed to find everything I wanted and more, and prices that will continue to make this the boutique I will visit when I have a rave. Have told all of my friends, and I got all of my outfits for $24! Coolest hidden gem EVER!!

Vintage clothing is the name of the game! Great store, great customer service, beautiful clothes,  and $2 Saturdays a few times every year! (Set up behind the store-- lots of fun! )

Parking can be tough,  but it's free.

The service is always nice and it’s such a cute clean store, I always find really good goodies! For the most part they are size inclusive and as an XL girly I have found some really cute pieces, but I get that they can’t do much about the vintage clothing being super petite sometimes

I drive by these stores every single day and I have been wanting to go with my daughter. Wellllll this Saturday we went, and I am so glad we did! You don’t find stores like this very often. They have so many unique items, there is definitely something for everyone. To be honest we probably could have spent all day there. Needless to say if you are in the area come check it out, and if you’re not it’s worth the trip!

Oooh! I purchased a more than beautiful fur coat from these people...just awesome!

They have so many choices for vintage costumes.  I needed a flapper headband. It had a feather and rhinestones. Perfect!

Nice layout inside by era/style. Good selection of clothing and accessories, and the prices are really good. Helpful and friendly staff as well! I could definitely see this as a place to keep coming back to as merchandise cycles.

This is a fun place to find out of the ordinary, clothing.  Well organized and priced, for all ages!  Even this “seasoned” shopper can find a fun, age appropriate outfit for any event!  Love that this is in my neighborhood!

Great store, love how it is organized by decades.

Love this place... has everything you need retro style clothing, jewelry, nice wigs.. shoes.. Great prices!!

Unique options, friendly staff and patrons, and right next door to an awesome coffee shop

This is my absolute favorite shop. I go a few times a year and on my birthday. I always find the best stuff. They have the best stuff and there prices are fair. So unlike all the others. I have been going here more than 20 years  Best thrift store ever!

Retro Reload is my favorite local shop. Their thrift items are always unique and well priced, organized by era and constantly changing. They also have new pin-up dresses for an amazing price (see me modelling one in my pic at the Madonna Inn!) and tons of cute accessories for your next photoshoot. Love them! Sign up for the newsletter and check out their $2 parking lot sales!!! 🥰♥️

I couldn't work here. I'd take everything home ❤️ 😋 I love this boutique! Fills my rockabilly soul with happiness 🌹👙🎸🎵

Always great service and great selection.  Love that the Staff dresses totally Vintage!

Our favorite store had to stop in after being away for so long had a great time looking at all the retro clothes.

Love this shop! Beautiful collection of items! Staff was super friendly and helpful. 🙂

The most warm, welcoming, helpful and stylish staff ever! The store is adorable, super diverse, well organized and fun to be in. I got a fabulous all sequence pink dress for my birthday with a sparkle boa and heart glasses that they helped me find. I could sing their praises all day! I'll post a picture after my birthday ;)

A very fun place with a lot of cool things.  Prices are pretty reasonable for the unique items, but it is upscale.
We got some things for Burningman that are funky and fun. Was worth our 40 minute drive to get there.

The $2 sale is off the chain.  Cure, clean, and friendly.  Love this place!

OMG this is the best place for over the top retro fashion, new or second hand! Crazy earrings and glasses,  fifties and sixties clothing and shoes, diva evening dresses.  I just loved this place.

Love love love this place. Super cute stuff and helpful staff

retro reload is one of my favorite places to shop! they have an amazing variety of clothing in a variety of sizes, which i greatly appreciate. the staff there are all wonderful and helpful, and the whole place just has a good, comfortable vibe to it.

I’ve gone back 4 times in two weeks to buy presents for friends. They have great oven mitts, aprons, and tea towels. Perfect for gifts. Super friendly staff.

Very organized vintage/2nd hand shop. They have good quality and well curated clothing (new and old), I often feel overwhelmed in 2nd hand stores, but didn't feel it here.  Staff is very helpful and friendly.

I love this place.its very organized clean and just all around fun place to shop.

Awesome store! Good clothes at great prices.

Omg! I just came across this Pinup gal dress shop in Lomita! Just opened up 2 weeks ago. I looooove this store! I have been looking for red polka dresses for so long! Now I know where to go and get one.  Other cute dresses and accessories are so amazing! The gals tending the store are so helpful and nice. I will have to take my friends with me here hahaha! See you again really soon. If you like this review, please click the like button. Thank you and have a good day.

Crazy about this store and alk the great pieces of clothing.
Such a unique store.. It's my all time favorite place to shop.. And all the staff and owners are always so amazing!!! They are always bringing new things in and alot of the items are one of a kind that you don't want to miss out on!!! Bless them and all the hard work they punt into the amazingly unique store!! 💖

Retro Reload is the friendliest shop ice ever visited. A lot of help when needed and the fashion is AWESOME!

Thank you!  It’s great to hear something good!
And thank you for throwing a shoutout to our staff 😀😀😀

I like going in here to discovery hidden treasures. Very friendly and helpful staff.
My daughter finally found some denim overalls she has been searching for a long time and spenders.

I love Retro Reload!!  The staff is very helpful and personable!  The stock is rotated to be kept fresh, seasonal,and exciting (which is a ton of work I am sure).  The perfect combo of vintage and vintage- inspired merchandise that won't price gauge you like LA and Burbank shops.  Get on their email list for events and occasionally coupon codes!  (They don't spam you)

It's awesome! I like Stephanie the best, but everyone is super cute ice and helpful.

I love this place, best second hand and specially boutique in the South Bay! Since aardvarks closed I will now drive all the way from near lax to shop here. The staff is insanely friendly and they are consistently changing up their stock.

I'm so happy I found this place again.  They had closed there location on Pacific coast and Pennsylvania st.  I just was driving down Narbonne and I saw the shop.  I was so excited!!!!
Bought the cutest Leopard skirt!

Thank you so much!!! Making our  customers smile is always our goal ❤️❤️

This store is so adorable! It has so much character and everythinf is so nice and neat and well kept! I actually found this place on Yelp when I was looking for a last-minute put-together costume ON Halloween for my daughter and they had exactly what I needed! She was so stoked when she got home from school and saw the finds I had for her! (Did I mention how inexpensive their stuff is???) Also, the lady behind the counter was super friendly. I will go here again and definitely recommend them.

This place is amazing! I finally went in after a year of driving by and I'm super glad I did. The staff is always very friendly, the prices are really good (especially their retro dresses and such), and they do events quite often. I would highly recommend going in even to just check it out.

I am SO happy that a friend told me about Retro Reload. This store is amazing! They have plenty of unique goods from all of the genres and decades that are very decently priced. The vibe is fun and open and Crystal was fun to talk to! I scored some sweet accessories for burning man and will come back to shop whenever I’m in Lomita. Thank you guys!

Thank You❤️😊😃💕your review made our day!

Every visit is a delight! The friendliest owners and staff in a shop that is the perfect balance of vintage and reasonably priced vintage reproduction. Pus they sell Besame cosmetics and have a salon skilled with vintage styles! I love Retro Reload!

It's a lot of fun, the staff is cool and the prices are some between those of a vintage clothing shop and a thrift store.

I’m so glad you found us!!! Hope you like the new place- make sure you you check out Madame Pompadour Salon 🙌🙌

I love this store.. ive been shopping there since she was on pch.. i havent been to this location .. planning on going today.. i cant wait!@

What!?! No way - you’re awesome! We love it when people let us help with any fashion challenge

This place is great and the staff (I think one was the owner) are so so nice and helpful. I went last minute to pick up some items for a drag look I was doing. They helped me decide on pieces and listened to me very well. The prices are Super too. I was supposed to tag them in some pics of the finished result, but I wasn’t happy with my work so it never happened. The items were great, I just didn’t have the models info so they didn’t quite work and my makeup skills were off that day. I was so grateful to have found this store and the wonderful ladies in it though. Without them I probably wouldn’t have gotten any kind of decent grade at all.
Thanks again Retro Reload. I will be back again.
PS sorry this review took so long. It’s the least I could do since I didn’t do what I said I would do. You guys deserve it and more. Frankly, I felt bad and then I kept forgetting. I’m awful, I’m sorry. I will be reviewing you ladies on Yelp after this. Thanks so much again!!!!

Thank you Kathy! We love the creative positive energy you bring in to the store❤️

We love this store. We'd rather be in "costume", so this is the place to make it happen any day of the year!

The owner is the sweetest! They carry quite a variety of vintage clothing, for all decades, not just typical 50s pin up.

Amazingly friendly service & the best vintage boutique around.  I never leave empty handed!

We loved this store,and ppl were very friendly. Great finds for low priced.

I didn't purchase anything today, but they have quite a large assortment of both new and used items. I was able to look into their boutique area and found some absolutely gorgeous dresses.

If you're into the fifties dress style, this is the place to go. If they don't have the color you want you may be able to convince them to make it for you 👍

Very Very Very disappointed.
. Purchased over $160.00 birthday gifts for my mother. A Very cute milkman pin was Purchased, when going to open pin to place on jacket it did not open... item was.non functional.
Called store and they had nothing to say .
I will never never go there

The people who work at this store are cruel and have no respect for the people they hire. There are plenty of other vintage clothing stores around. Avoid this one at all cost.
