The most lovely ladies working here! I was visiting from New York and popped in and was really impressed by their collection of vintage jewelry! I may have bought half the collection. They also have a nice selection of blazers and sweaters as well as home decor. Everything is so organized and clean! They showed me the back room where processing and cleaning takes place and it is very meticulous with a lot of work and love poured into what they do. Will definitely be back!

The store is very clean. All staff members are very polite . Most clothes are curated for mature women, there’s no wide selection for kids and teens. Prices are great, I found vintage wool pants for $6. I love this store and will definitely come back.

I absolutely adore this place! Everyone is so pleasant and helpful! Upon my return to my hometown of San Diego last summer (May 2023) I was homeless and sleeping in a tent in a canyon behind the Blind Center on Upas Street. I needed an outfit for a job interview, but had no money so I thought to go here and ask for assistance. The ladies gladly gave me an outfit and to this day I still have that job. True angels are employed at this establishment.
Dear Amanda We are thrilled that we were able to help you renew your life in San Diego. We are thrilled that you were able to interview and get employment. This makes our hearts sing. Be well and continue to Thrive. Karla Silver, President Assistance league of Greater San Diego
