What Goes Around Clothing

This place has a huge selection of rare finds and the staff is always super friendly!

I wish I discovered this place soon because apparently the owner, Kamal, is moving to Long Beach and he will open his store there.
Today was the first time I went to this store and I could not be any more happier. We were given a very warm welcome and Kamal even asked us if the music is alright for our satisfaction. I usually find thrift stores very inconvenient but here, the prices were reasonable and the products were fair so I ended up buying lots of stuff. Men, they got some nice selection for us, too.
Also on Sunday, the shop close at 7 but Kamal never told us to hurry up or anything. Instead he waited an extra hour for us to finish shopping.
So overall if I can give this place beyond 5 stars, I would because the customer service is amazing and I wish I discovered this place soon. Oh well!

This place genuinely rules. It can be sort of hard to find more ecclectic, weird places like this in Orange County but this place is up to par anywhere.
When I got there the owner of store welcomed me, explained how the clothes are organized, and then asked if the music was ok and offered to change it. It was definitely ok, Frank Sinatra, very good. He was incredibly nice and helpful.
The «thrift» section was fine, like any other well edited thrift store. But the vintage and home décor we’re fantastic. There is tons of great outerwear (leather and suede) and lot of unique pieces like beaded sweaters or a pastel, suede miniskirt.
I GOT THE BEST JACKET OF MY WHOLE LIFE. Vintage leather jackets can be tough. Theyre actually always giant. But I found a vintage HARLEY DAVIDSON leather jacket that actually fit a womens medium complete with motorcycle image on the back. It was marked $ 150 which is still cheap for one of these jackets you can get for like $ 300 on etsy. BUT there was a half off sale so I got it for $ 75! So good!
Also found a very cool mens button up with a unique card print and a very cool 80s blouse I’m going to wear as a dress.
This place is so well edited and so reasonably priced and the service is amazing. DONT MISS IT.
Just be aware it’s cash only!

If Mayberry had an awesome vintage thrift store… this would be it.

Should of read the reviews before coming in because I wanted to bargain shop. This is a true vintage-​classy shop & I did not budget to shop for this. So I walked in, saw some cute clothing & walked out. Will hunt next time.

Best thrift store in Orange County by car. There is a lot of vintage items so don’t expect it to be cheap because you what you pay for. Vintage clothing is made completely different and the quality is way better. Sadly they don’t make clothing like this anymore in regular retail. And if you go for the higheend you are paying 3x worth what vintage sells for and the clothes are individual and unique! You never have to worry about someone having the same item as you. Go vintage, you won’t regret it.
With that being said. The overall ambiance of the store is fun to shop in & Kamaal is one of the coolest dudes I’ve met by far. Down to earth and not uppity like some retailers can be in this area.

Kamal greeted us with water and my choice of Pandora station as soon as I walked through the door! STRONG opening! The store is really packed and there is some good stuff but it’s hard to pick through cause it’s so packed. It is a bit more expensive than your traditional thrift stores. However with the music I love playing and Kamal being so kind we kept digging until we found some good stuff to take home. The Unilocal discount was pretty dope!

I Met Kamal when he came to my place of business. He is such a awesome guy he is so friendly and social. He told me about his business and passed his card to me I was stoked I love thrift stores. So the next day I decided to check out this place :) soooo I get to the location walk in. Sorry didn’t catch the sweet cashier girls name. But she was super helpful. Walking into this store was a pleasant experience. I walked in and was asked right away if she can help me find what I’m looking for I told her ties
she shocked me when she TOOK me to the ties that were on the floor. I never have been to a thrift store where the employees take you to an item i usually have to rummage through items that are not organizied. This store is very well organized and I will be back to shop for myself soon. Thanks Kamal for telling me about my new favorite thrift store.

I had previously written a review about WGAC, and the first time I shopped here I accidentally purchased slacks that had an iron burn on them.
BUT Kamal, the owner, was very wonderful and let me get different pants to replace them. He was very sweet about it and very apologetic. He is very good at customer service and you can tell he loves what he does!
Props to this place and to Kamal, keep up the good work!
I also enjoy the fact that they give you «WGAC bucks» to spend in the store after you purchase a certain amount of clothing.

Brought my girls there awhile back. How could I forget to review this little gem!
They loved it, found some cute clothing, accessories, etc and it seems to be popular w/​more than just the locals. I even found something for myself, me being too old to be chic or hipster. But I did, and for some reason it reminds me of Cosmo Kramer, I can visual him going there and picking up a bunch of hip rags & doing that crazy shaking thing he does wearing them.
I know some people might find the prices a bit on the cha-​chingy side, but really it’s a vintage, thrift type store, not to be confused w/​the bigger stinky chains and their stuff is hideous and just ain’t right. (yea I said that).
If your in the area or looking to venture off into other vintage stores away from Hollywood & WeHo, give Orange County a try and check it out while there quite a few other shops to stumble on; There’s a lot going on in this busy city, next to NB and Fashion Island, do something daring and different and come only if your open minded.

My boyfriend will always love this place, because he found his favorite pair of pants here. I also found a great pair of pants, a nice flannel that fit perfectly and looked brand new, and a faux leather jacket that was really cute and flattering – and I’ve only been there once! Very cute, great selection considering how small it is, and nothing smells weird (ALWAYS important). The clothing is pretty diverse selection-​wise, and we even saw some cool stuff like an old military flak jacket and a World War II Army uniform. Rad.
Kamal is a great conversationalist, super nice guy, and all around awesome person. 5 stars all the way. And the prices ain’t bad at all.

LOVE IT! The people running it are so polite! They know how to treat their customers!
This is by far one of the best imo. Some items might be a little bit overpriced, but others are pretty reasonable, for the quality you find! (this is not a Goodwill, by no means).
Everything here are great finds, it’s up to you on much you have on you to spend, you will shop till you drop here, literally!
Highly recommended to your hard core thrift clothes seekers… like me!

AWESOME THRIFT STORE!
The owner is SO nice! He gives you a cold water bottle while you shop, very easy to talk to and you can ask him any questions. He hosts open mic nights on Mondays. Great selection of clothing! A bit pricey but not too bad… I’m pretty stingy but ended up buying three items! He even gives you a «what goes around dollar» for every item you buy which gives you a dollar off your next purchase.
Had a great experience and will definitely be going back!

This is as dope as it gets. Most thrift shops/​used clothing stores (ie. Goodwill, Salvation Army) are pretty hit or miss, with much of the inventory being stuff that looks very, well… used. In other words its hard to find the gold in a thrift shop, and sometimes, even after hours of digging, you come up with nothing.
This place is a whole different story. As almost every reviewer here has mentioned, Customer service is Top Notch. More importantly however, is the inventory. Pretty much everything on the racks (especially towards the back where the vintage stuff is at) is gold. I’ve found some of my favorite shirts EVER at this spot, and for a good price too. The prices are a smidge more costly than say, goodwill, as the store isn’t a non-​profit, but its a minuscule increase, with most goodies still within the «thrift» price bracket. And with the stuff you find here, it is well worth the extra couple bucks.
The atmosphere is super chill. Great music, organized racks, and everything is kept quite orderly. The clothes aren’t dirty, and there are even changing rooms!
I give this place a 10 out of 10. this is, by far, the best thrift shop I’ve been to in OC, especially if you dig the vintage vibes.

Hey ladies and gents. There is an awesome new Vintage Clothing & Thrift Store in Costa Mesa, right near Orange Coast College. Came here late night last week with my guy to look for an outfit for a 1920’s themed Black and White Party. (They’re open til 10pm on weekdays, which rules.) We were blown away by how helpful and style-​savvy the owner Kamal is. Customer Service doesn’t get any better than this! Easily found a swinging white lace dress for myself that I could wear anytime/​anywhere, and my guy found some great slacks and a bow tie. This place is huge and has a nice selection of unique accessories at great prices. They even have occasional events here like Open Mic Night, etc. This is a sweet store, I highly recommend! Check ‘em out…

What can I say about this cute little store with an amazingly friendly owner who offers you a bottle of water as you walk in… Who does that!!! Well it was a welcomed surprise especially to my college aged niece who I have been trying to show how to stretch her dollar (especially if it’s being provided to her by her parents!)
Although small compared to other thrift stores that we visited, it had a pretty good selection. Saw some Lacoste, ALOT of Miss Me (which my niece had to tell me what brand that was), INC, Miss sixty etc. Prices were definitely good with an exceptionally great sale depending on the colored tag. Now how can you go wrong with 50% on already low prices! Found great stuff but needed more time to go through the racks as thrifting goes. Will definitely be back whether the owner offered me a bottled water or not… Prices and service is what I’m looking for.

Nice little shop with incredible customer service. Kamal is extremely helpful and really makes an effort with his customers. I bought a really cheap Northface jacket so I’m really happy!
All of their items are very reasonably priced. Worth checking out!

I am a recent transplant to Orange County, so I am still trying to find some great hidden consignment gems in the area, After looking through Unilocal,I found What Goes Around near my office and ventured in.
The owner is really friendly, offered me a bottle of water as soon as I walked in the door and told me about the % off deals he had going on (based off of tag color).
I had a great experience here, found a couple of cute cardigans for fall from Banana, prices are reasonable and there is a great selection.
I will be stopping in again!

There are good finds here, but you really have to look. The racks are filled and packed with clothing, so you have to have patience when browsing. The quality of the clothing is mixed, so you better be careful when purchasing. Come with the mindset that these are used clothing, so you get what you pay for.
Selling here is a breeze, but you may not get exactly what you’re expecting. The owner buys low and sells at a decent price. That’s how he stays afloat and allows him to be the middle man of the selling and buying process, which makes it so easy for the rest of us.
There are handbags galore, shoes that may not be the best finds, jewelry of different eras, unique items that only some can appreciate. If you have time to browse or sell, his doors are usually open for new and regulars alike. This is a chill atmosphere and you’ll bound to find something if you have the time to check it out.

Unilocal is the reason I came to What Goes Around Clothing. The excellent customer service is the reason I’ll be returning to the store.
I recently rediscovered my love for thrifting (read: I acquired some free time) and have been scouring OC for terrific deals, once beloved treasures and stellar customer service. Costa Mesa has a wonderful cluster of eclectic thrift stores/​consignment boutiques; What Goes Around Clothing came up at the top of my Unilocal search for thrift stores.
I was the first customer of the day when I entered What Goes Around Clothing’s doors a few minutes after 11:30 a.m. The owner was on the phone when I entered but interrupted his conversation to ask if I wanted a bottle of water; I politely declined but appreciated the offer. I think I appreciated being greeted even more than the complimentary beverage!
The store is small but the selection is respectable: ladies’ clothing, men’s clothing, jewelry, accessories and collectibles can be found here. There is also a vintage section in the back of the store (I think I spotted half of my husband’s wardrobe from the ‘80s — ha!). If you need to try on anything there are two fitting rooms opened and closed by drawing a curtain. I thought the vinyl records stylishly displayed on the wall was a nice decorative touch.
I purchased a super soft green striped sweatshirt in excellent condition for $ 6.99. The owner gave me an automatic 10% discount which I didn’t expect as it was my first visit. In addition I was given What Goes Around Clothing dollars — $ 2 value — redeemable toward the purchase of clothing. I’ll definitely be back!
As the daughter of small-​business owners I know all too well the challenges of fighting for your business’ survival not just in a downturn economy, but in general. What Goes Around Clothing is a relatively new business but it exemplifies key ingredients required of any successful business: 1.) Quality products, 2.) Reasonable prices, and 3.) Excellent customer service.
