What Goes Around Comes Around

Had a cool assortment of clothes and non-​apparel merch but was over-​priced and offered really lousy customer service. My fiancé and I weren’t important enough to be greeted or spoken to, but the woman who walked in after us with a Chanel bag was. My fiancé had been on the hunt for some vintage Levis, and had already purchased a pair from American Rag Down the street, when she spotted a couple pairs at this place. She held them in her hand and patiently presented herself to the staff of three who stood grouped together talking and casually ignored us. She politely interrupted them and asked if she could try the jeans on, at which point she was pretty much blown off with a «Go ahead.» Meanwhile, Chanel woman was given friendly and attentive service. My fiancé didn’t even try the jeans on, but she did put them back where she found them. Really disappointing shopping experience overall, something we hadn’t really encountered in LA.

SO EXCITED THIS LOCATION IS NOW IN LA! No idea how long ago it moved but it was originally in Costa Mesa and my husband and I loved the store but the location didn’t do it justice for getting the traffic it deserved. The owner is amazing and super genuine and down to earth. The first time we ever went in the store we were warmly greeted and even offered water. The clothing they had were amazing deals and also they sell a variety of other items besides just clothing. It is super unique and I can totally see them opening more locations all over in the future.
I love the name. Obsessed with it actually because how has someone not come up with this before?! It’s genius because in fashion, everything does just repeat itself. There are certain vintage items that are specifically genuine vintage so sometimes those are seperate but the clothing has a wide variety for guys and girls.
It is a fun place to shop and super comfortable. You can find a lot of awesome items here because the owner knows the demographic he is selling to and he has been doing this for a while so he knows what works and doesn’t work. He sells things that are in high demand and that people want. Not sure if they still have these things that are like «what goes around comes around money/​coupons» it is like $ 1 off randomly things depending how much you spend depends on how much money things you get to use next time. The ones I had never had expiration dates on them and they are always playing good music in here so it is always a fun shopping experience coming in here.

What goes around comes around (WGACA) is a specialty vintage shop. Sure, we all love a deal, but if you’ve got the time to search for a vintage rock t shirt in a garage sale or a dead man’s closet; MORE POWER TO YOU!
Think of it this way. It’s like if you are looking for a mint, vintage, all original, patina 1967 Lamborghini Muira at a classic car dealer, it’ll cost you a whopping $ 3mm, but if you got the time to search for a barn find to restore it yourself then maybe you can buy it cheaper right? Besides, it is for those of you who know of a particular piece that you not only want, but have to have it because you went to that last concert of that particular band’s last tour.
So WGACA is like that classic car dealer. They have taken the time to source those one of a kind pieces of clothing or accessory that there may just be a few pieces left on this planet! So sure, one can think of this place as an overpriced garage sale, OR maybe you’ve been looking for that Led Zepplin, The Who, AC/​DC, The Doors or even that Duran Duran or Bananarama concert t shirt that you went to sometime ago but your mom threw it away (and you just gotta have it!!).
I know some of us are not that old, but come on just think about it. Those of you that went to a Taylor Swift concert or (OK OK) that Bieliber concert today and bought a t-​shirt from a farewell concert tour and fast forward 30 years from now. That T shirt may just be the one you bought and your mom tossed it or donated it (that you wanted to kick your mom’s behind. Sorry mom!!), and now you just want to have it again but it has become a one of a kind vintage rock t-​shirt that you just can’t find it anywhere!
Well, all that being said, WGACA is a great shop with many rare, one of a kind pieces whether you really want to buy a great vintage piece or just browsing around, You can buy that legendary vintage piece because money is no object or you can break your bank trying to look cool. I think you will find many old memories of the 90s, 80s, 70s or even the 60s and beyond!

Went in the store for the first time a week. ago. Took about 10 minutes to asked be helped. I live in New York, and love the store there. These two women treated us as we where lucky to be shopping in «Their» store. I asked to try on some t-​shirts. The tall brunette got some. I said I didn’t wanna spend $ 200 on a T-​Shirt. She replied we don’t have anything less than or around a $ 100. So I started looking in a different pile. I found plenty of cool t-​shirts less than a $ 100. My friend had already left the store. Of course I walked out with nothing. I should of just stolen a t-​shirt. Save your time!

I LOVE this store.
Amazing vintage Chanel. I immediately fell in love with 2 bags (never happens), but wanted to be a cautious buyer as I know very little about vintage.
I did my homework, the bags, although expensive, are actually well suited to their prices. They’re rare, in mint condition & have the serial cards.

wow — old nirvana cotton t shirt in bad condition, 450 dollars. levis denim jacket, 1250 dollars
i wish i was in on this joke?
very friendly staff though

Bit pricey, and thats what give it the 4 stars, instead of 5.
but for a REASON. soo many dope pieces with character and history. You walk in and feel positive energy radiating from this store and the sweet people who work there. DEF going to be shopping here and finding one of a kind pieces!

Nope. I refuse to spend my money or even entertain the thought of parting with my bennies at a place where the associate won’t even acknowledge your presence. That said, what i found was a cool selection of vintage concert tees… Cool stuff. Too bad they aren’t a friendly establishment.

You gotta be kidding me… who shops at this store?
Right away, you can tell this place is expensive by how sparsely merchandised it is… seriously, it’s like an art gallery. And the «art» is? Old T-​shirts.
One of the first things that caught my eye was a rack of black vintage concert shirts. There was a Van Halen shirt, just your basic old cotton concert shirt, and it was…(drum roll, please)…FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS! Wtf? Nearby was a glass case, the kind like they have in jewelry stores, and inside were some other old concert T’s. There was a pretty cool-​looking David Bowie shirt, probably from the mid 70’s I can only imagine what the price must have been on that one!
I just don’t get it. Don’t get me wrong, I know how rare some old shirts like that can be… I just don’t see charging that much for ANY T-​shirt.
Besides that he staff, which consisted of two über-​hipster pretentious teenagers, acted like they were God’s gift to Los Angeles… helpful? Friendly? Definitely not.

anyone with that much vintage chanel, i have to love
i wonder if the front windows are shatter proof (seriously, it’s check it out… fabulous representation of what they sell.)

This location is closed and the new location they are moving to is not yet open due to construction issues. There was a lady in the old location and answered all my questions and gave a 10% coupon for use for their new location.
Can’t wait. I’m gonna miss this location though. It is nice and in a good location.

This is a pricey store that is for indie people in Hollywood. My friends and I went in here to mess around and pass the time waiting for Umami Burger (the best). They have some really weird leather jackets and things, I just have no idea who would buy things in here. We looked at the price for this one leather and fur vest, over 600 dollars. Go ahead and entertain yourself waiting for Umami though because that is fun.

Found this place by total accident, great selection of vintage items and their own brand. Wish I could afford it but it was nice just to look around! The shop girl was super nice and helpful, brought some stuff out from the back to show us and was just generally friendly. Will be back to peruse again some time soon.

I’ve been to their store in NYC, so I was familiar with the company.
Same stuff here, but now in LA. It’s a high-​end store, where they handpick vintage clothes. Almost everything is expensive, but all of it was good stuff… like the best jacket at Wasteland would be here. I was drooling over some of the old concert shirts, but too expensive for me, got a sweatshirt. My friend bought a leather jacket for $ 600, but it’s cool as hell… not cheap though. But he wears it everywhere — that kind of jacket.
Like the great bookstore across from them, this is more typical of Melrose/​Beverly Hills than Hollywood-​type shops, so I wouldn’t say it has bargains; it’s for people who want the really good stuff and will pay lots for it.
Right next to Amoeba and Arclight, so parking’s rough anywhere in that whole neighborhood.
