As a side note we set out to look for a classic levi jacket and found it and more at the Pink Plum And It Was All Wed Hoped It Would Be. However Wed Have Never Found This Place Were It Not For The Owner And Proprietor Of A Small Little Shoppe Down On Green Street Near Wilson Called
HIGH LOW VINTAGE.

Please Give Both Of These Vintage Shoppes In Pasadena A Look People Youll Be All The Richer For It.

Pink Plum is amazing! Something for everyone.
Be sure to stop by if you are in need of costumes for Halloween or any occasion! Their customer service is great too!

Kitschy little shop with a real mix of clothing, furniture and knick-​knacks. I found a beautiful trunk made out of Eucalyptus wood with brass fittings and a cool table made using repurposed wood and metal. Prices are super reasonable! They take credit cards for a little extra.

Great shop for anything from mid-​century furniture to cool smalls. Very reasonable prices, too!

This place sucks. Maybe there should be more trust with the customer. Once I got there the first thing I got was someone shadowing me. Like if I was going to take something. I really like to see things with out being shadowed. There is a lack of trust in this so called antique store.

With everything going around a hundred miles a minute, I try to keep my self centered on the most simple aspects of a mans advantage when it comes to furnishings and vintage bling. For example, you might find a pair of Scandinavian silver cuff links to match a 1932 Omega, or some understated sapphire studded lapel pins, or maybe a classic gold plated Cartier pen. For what it’s worth, I think the history behind these art pieces speak volumes when it relates to exclusivity. The conversation is basically priceless and nothing less than inspiring.

is this shop hiding it’s bad reviews? this place has a mean clerk that runs off customers by accusing them of trying to «stalk» him. we came in here looking for collectibles but he was more interested with talking to a guy about music. when we asked to look at items in a locked case he threw a tantrum and chased us out, threatening to call the police.
my husband dropped by on a different day-​to give this guy a chance to redeem his attitude-​only to blame us for his losing business on that previous day. do his bosses know what he is doing to loyal customers? or is he the new owner?
other antique stores in Pasadena will get our business-​this place, never again.

Uh hello, if you haven’t been here you’re missing out. Awesome clothes, lots of cute vintage stuff. Obviously higher price than your average thrift store but some stuff is very well priced. The owner (I’m guessing that’s him) is super chill, he always has something funny to say. Around Halloween they have lots of great, original looking pieces. You could camp out in the jewelry area/​cabinets, there is a lot to look at. Anyway, just a fun spot to check out if you’re roaming down Colorado and you want the place to yourself to browse. Plus, it’s always good to support the local businesses.

Not sure why there are two Pink Plums Unilocal with different locations but pics of the same store, but I’m reviewing this one because it has the correct address. I went in looking for furniture, particularly a coffee table. I was hoping the store would have more furniture offerings than it did, though I may have gone on an off day. I will say what they did have was VERY reasonably priced and I saw some pieces I liked, but not a lot of coffee table options, maybe two. However, they did have a lot of vintage lamps that were priced right a decent jewelry section. But be sure to bring $$$, because this place is cash only.

This place is great. It’s kind of a meld between a good thrift store and a non-​snobby antique store. Lots of neat old clothes and cool knick knacks.

If you like eclectic jumbles of stuff, you’ll probably enjoy Pink Plum. It’s crammed full of off beat furniture, clothing, jewelry, bric a brac, etc. I haven’t bought anything yet, but I stop by every few weeks, because I’m looking for something unusual and this is the kind of place where I might find it. How good the service is depends on how busy they are. I’ve never seen more than one person working there. If you have time to browse, relax and enjoy it. If you’re on a quick hunt for a specific item, you’d do better to call ahead and ask if they have it. Looking for it yourself could be time consuming.

My wife and I love antiquing. Sometimes its not even for finding things. Its more about looking for the weird and funky. And, this place is definitely weird and funky. Whenever we eat at the Chinese restaurant a couple doors down, we have to stop into the Pink Plum to see what strangeness we can find.
In the world of antiques, there are two schools of thought.
* Stores that treat antiques like they are museum pieces and the workers look down there noses at you while you are allowed to peruse their wears.
* And, then there are places like this. Cram packed with a mishmash of incongruent stuff. Tiki bar, 1920’s telephone, He’Man doll, suit of armor, souvenir glass from Vegas. I love that you never know what you are going to find there.

Thank you fellow Unilocalers for a great tip for a Hawaiian shirt! You saved me from 1) driving around looking for a specialty shop and 2) spending lots of unneeded cash for a shirt I’d use maybe once. I went to this shop and found parking easily on the street, and PLENTY of NEW Hawaiian shirts inside the shop — all lined up in one area. Very convenient. Great service, friendly smiles. I’ll return just to look around! Spent maybe 5 dollars on the new shirt.

Have been stopping by this place for a few years. I am an antique store junkie and I’ve been to all the stores around the area. Pink Plum is my favorite. I’ve gotten lots of treasures from this place. from books, to figurines, to patio furniture. and even a cool trash can!
Not your antique mall type of place with rooms everywhere and a couple of floors. and not your snooty store with every single item locked in a cabinet with ridiculously high prices. this place is smaller but filled with UNIQUE items. uncommon items you are not likely to find at other antique stores. The owners who bring the items in definitely seem to have an eye for the unique.
If you are in search of that special vintage item, chances are it will come through Pink Plum. and at a price you can actually afford. Item turnaround is high so there are always new things moving through this place. or something you may have missed before. My advice. grab it quickly or it’s likely to be gone next time you are there. Not the case with other antique stores who have the usual common vintage items with high prices they’ve had for months are years with nothing new to see or find. making one wonder how in the world they stay in business, or how they don’t become bored with their stores.
Nice assortment of unique stuff. lots of one of a kinds you won’t find at other antique stores. Books, lamps, figurines, furniture, clothing, patio. a bit of everything.
Owners are very nice and seem to be just as happy as you are when you find that special item.
Overall good vibes and positive energy in this place too.
From an antique store junkie who loves getting lost in the nostalgia of years gone by. this place is a treasure.
Almost didn’t want to leave a review because I’d like to keep this place all for myself. =D

It was my first time there and I’m definitely going back. I went in search of a piece of furniture and although they didn’t have what I was looking for, I did find a great big mirror for a super reasonable price. The shopkeeper was friendly and courteous. And he helped me load the mirror into my car.

i came here with purpose. i had one thing in mind that i HAD to buy today and that was a large midcentury mirror. guess what? i found exactly what i wanted– and it was a designer piece priced at about half of what it is worth. amazing. add to that the utterly amazingly sweet and charming shopkeeper and you have a winner. i also bought a handful of vintage belts (each one for under 10 bucks). i think i found my new vintage pit stop. :) awesome.

companionable proprietors, helpful and chatty.
fair prices on the stuff i perused, and on the antique pure silk graduation robe from the forties [$ 35]. yet another thing i probably should not have bought, but i told myself it was for the heavy, multi-​ply silk, which was utterly luxurious.
a large store, pink plum is great to ramble around in, experiencing material culture across decades.
you will likely not be able to leave without finding something you wish to buy.
be ye forewarned!

I love looking for deals, and I love supporting local business, unfortunately, the two don’t always go hand in hand. Not so at Pink Plum. I am fortunate enough to work across the street from this vintage treasure and I drop in whenever I can. The prices are very reasonable, and their selection of nifty baubles, jewelry, furniture and clothing is bountiful and diverse.
This place always seems to have the perfect gifts for people I’ve shopped for. On different occasions, I’ve purchased a monocular used by spies during war time, for a history buff, a wooden carved dish shaped like a horse for a cowgirl friend and just yesterday, a box of vintage poker chips for my poker loving brother-​in-​law.
Of course, I haven’t begun to describe the cherished items I’ve purchased for myself there, from vintage hats, jewelry and clothing. The selection is amazing and the service is fantastic. The owner is always very helpful and friendly as well as the employees. They’re knowledgeable on the items they sell, and offer terrific alternatives if they don’t have exactly what you’re looking for.
I particularly love their turquoise jewelry selection and clothing racks; neatly hung and color-​coded. So hats off to Pink Plum for offering great finds and great deals amidst the hullabaloo of costly vintage spots in the ‘Dena. Oh yeah, and like Ericka L. said, the Hawaiian Tiki section is well worth a visit!

I just bought a new house and I am obsessed with finding the right funky furniture for it. I was on the lookout for some shelves or bookcase or dresser and went to PP based on the reviewer below. This place is amazing!!! It’s filled with great furnishings and neat knicknaks. I saw some lovely jewelry for reasonable prices but that wasn’t what I was in the market for. I didn’t even go through the clothes at all, but they looked clean and well organized.
I ended up buying an adorable bookshelf and a hanging shelf thing for my bathroom. The guy was so great — when I told him I was on the lookout for bookshelves, he offered to callme if he came across any. He wouldn’t let me carry out my goodies, but insisted on putting them in my car for me.
I will definitely return to PP very soon (maybe this weekend if funds permit).

I love this place!
I was looking for a small dresser after the Ex visited one day and noted that I seemed to have created a carpet of clothing for my room. How embarrassing! I told him I didn’t have enough space for all my clothes, but his comment motivated me to go shopping.
I stopped by a few places near Pink Plum with no luck. One place had a nice dresser in the style of my bedroom furniture, for $ 300. Um, cross that one off the list! Another had a cheap-​looking small dresser for about $ 60, made out of particle board. Blah!
But then, like Goldilocks, I found one that was just right. At Pink Plum, there were plenty of cute knick-​knacks, furniture, jewelery, books, clothes, art, and more to keep me shopping for hours. However, I was a good girl that day and only purchased a nice little four-​drawer dresser made of wood and painted a pale creamy yellow for just $ 20! (I actually saw one that was ever more perfect, but alas, it had been sold already.)
The owners are friendly and helpful. (They assisted me in carrying my find out to my car, even though it wasn’t too heavy.) They are constantly visiting estate sales and bringing back great items to sell at reasonable prices. If you’re looking for some furniture and don’t want to spend an arm and a leg, try this place.
You might even want to visit just for the awesome Hawaiian/​Polynesian/​Tiki section in the back of the store!
