2 Dollar Clothing Store

Let me start off by saying this place is so cool the experience while find your treasures of clothes is so cool bought 12 items and got 2 free items.
Keep searching you find dope clothes while listening to music the staff is very friendly I can in on a Tuesday wasn’t that many people in the pile overall great store ! I’ll be back

Updating my review I love this place. Went on a Sunday and suprisngly there was no one in there but it should have been. Unlike the other reviews they were nice to this one homesless lady that was shopping. Really kind and my favorite part about this visit was that I scored a Nieman Marcus blazer worth $ 225 for $ 2.

Still impressed with this place. It is unfortunate when bitter ex-​employees write bad reviews for such a community staple. This place donates to several charities and always has amazing clothing. The staff are always fun and shop with you, they even recently added a doorbell to assist people in wheelchairs. I have yet to find anywhere that has name brand clothing like this for such a great price. Don’t worry this store is just as awesome as ever.

Anything Good, Never Lasts
Sadly, but long overdue, I am changing my 5 stars rating to 1 star for the $ 2 Clothing Store. It used to be this cool little shop on Santa Monica Boulevard with a huge pile of fashionable designer brand names clothes and shoes @ $ 2 each. The vibe was always welcoming and friendly.
So it is unfortunate but not too surprising when this little shop, still on Santa Monica Boulevard, loses its cool & unique appeal replacing a pile of fashionable designer brand names slightly used clothes and shoes with a pile of well used often ripped, torn or stained generic clothes and no more shoes. The quality and diversity of the clothes available there went down drastically. It might have been true a year ago but it is not anymore, so don’t expect to find too many designer brand name items that are in good shape only slightly worn. All the items featured on their website were found in the pile a year or more ago. You will find plenty of dirty, stained and/​or ripped shirts, T-​shirts and pants… But no shoes!
The owner Joe has been going through the loads of clothes he receives from the movies studios pulling out all good designer labels items and holding onto them with hopes of reselling them for more than a couple of dollars… very little efforts are made towards improving the store other than installing security cameras with audio for him to keep an eye and ear on the store while at home making sure nobody is getting away with something for free. He tends to be verbally abusive and manipulative with his young employees, compensating them below minimum wage and sexually harassing the young pretty girls working for him. Beware…
Sadly I cannot recommend this store anymore.

Love this place!!! I find amazing clothes and the people are way cool-​many items are designer brands I can’t afford to buy new and there is nothing wrong with them! Some items are torn or stained but for the most part, they aren’t. Been very lucky finding my size too-​but there are all sizes from tiny to very large. Don’t let the huge pile of clothes scare you-​have never seen a bug!

This place is seriously amazing. Don’t come here. leave all the good clothes for me.
once i left super mad even with 2 bags full of stuff cuz this other girl that was treasure hunting (u gotta really dig here for the good ones) got this SUPER CUTE red velvet skater dress and I wanted to shove her and take it for myself.
be warned: it’s a HUGE mountain of a pile of clothes on the floor. you gotta dig and dig and dig. people literally just sit on top of the mountain and dig around themselves haha. but THRIFTING IS NOT FOR THE LAZY! am i right or am i right?
It’s the real deal here people. Oh and did I mention DEALS? Last time here it was 10 for $ 10 or 20 for $ 20 which is a dollar each, BUT if you dont hit those numbers u gotta pay the full price of a whopping $ 2.
Sometimes its like a buy 5 get 1 free deal. U just gotta come check it out. or dont. better for me if you dont actually
NOTE: CASH ONLY!!!

Gross, gross, and gross! A huge pile of dirty, nasty clothes that takes up the entire small store. No racks or tables for clothing??? People laying on top of the pile just digging through the pile. It is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. I don’t know how anyone could like this place. The place is one step up from a homeless persons shopping cart. Yuck!

I’ve heard of this place because they messaged me so I bookmarked it for a while now and I finally made my first visit. When you go in it’s a small space with a giant pile of clothes in it and some racks on the sides. I ended up with 7 items for a whopping $ 10! I got an item free because it was my first time and I bought 5 items and the 6^th one was free! How great is that?!? I came on a Sunday so street parking was easy and free. Do read the street signs though. I’d love to come here again and see what other goodies I can find.
Good luck!

Umm idk. I read the reviews before I went so I put myself in the right mindset to shop here. However, I just can’t. This place could try a little harder. They have areas to hang up and clothes and there are a few pieces hung up, but just a few. They could definitely stand to hang more pieces or at least put the clothes in different piles. There is just one large pile. One lady asked me «how are we supposed to get to the other side?» To which I responded, «I have no idea.» People literally walked on the pile of clothes to get to the other non-​exposed side. So creating at least two piles would be helpful. I honestly don’t know what an employee here actually does other than accept payment.
I saw two cute pieces of clothing here but they didn’t work out. I didn’t see enough good material that would make me want to climb over the pile and dig through. I can handle a lot when it comes to thrifting but I’ll pass on this one.

This place is awesome! Came here with my bf the other day… I walked inside thinking I wasn’t going to find anything & was hesitant to jump in the pile but minutes later we got comfortable & started digging in! I found a cool 90’s windbreaker, a tribe called quest t-​shirt, a gray maxi dress, victoria secret bikini top, & an american apparel t-​shirt! it was our 1^st time so we got 2 items free so our total was only $ 6 :) the employee Kim was so helpful & fun! DEFINITELY will come back! Take your time & dig in the pile with a friend :)

This place is amazing. You can find clothes from all ages to any style. Bring a friend and have fun in the pile! Amazing clothes for 2 $ each item

A secret gem of a store, it’s literally a mound pile of clothes and you have to go digging for treasures all $ 2 !! Found 5 things for $ 10 and got one thing free, life is good ye

I have driven past this place numerous times on the way to dinner. This time, my hubby suggested we stop. As soon as we walked up to the store, a very nice young man (employee) approached us and asked if this was our first time here. After we said ‘yes’, he told us that each of us could get one item for free!
They have tons of clothes and some shoes as well. The merchandise are overflow items from TV shows and motion picture studios. Every item is only $ 2! And if you buy 5 items, the 6^th item is free. We bought multiple items, including a pair of True Religion jeans for me — what a steal! This is my new favorite store. I will definitely be back!
parking — metered, but on some side streets free on Sundays

I’ve been a regular here for the past couple of years back to when it was at a different location. A lot of my most worn pieces have been from here. The vibe always changes with different people but I’m always making friends with everyone every time I go. Sometimes you get the occasional sketchy person but I always go with a group of friends. Amazing deals! I always find nice brands. Only go here if you have a couple of hours to spend cus you wanna make the trip worth it. No fitting rooms just a huge mirror so plan on trying stuff on in front of strangers. Main thing about this place is to have an open mind and go in there with a positive attitude! Highly recommend :)

Best little shop in town! Ya gotta come check it out!!! Ya gotta dig but it’s definitely worth it!!! Rocking my new Quicksilver scuba diving suit and shirt for just a couple bucks!!! Can’t beat it!!! Staff is great and you get free items every so many you buy!!! Amazing stuff and almost free!!!

The 2 dollar store is amazing!!! I usually go pick out clothes that I think my friends would like or even as a present. I don’t go often, usually because I’m busy, but I always have a good time and the workers are always sweet.
I’ve found many a wonderful article of clothing at this store. My best find, however, was a black Versace dress!!! Don’t believe? Check out my Instagram @akivasr! Now I’m no fashion designer/​fashionista, my sister is @colorfulnay (Instagram), but that dress seemed pretty real to me. I picked it up immediately and made sure that it got to my friend.
I definitely recommend EVERYONE to try this place out. Plus, the pile in the middle of the store is to die for!!!

Had a huge pile of clothes with a super wide range of items in an array of colors/​sizes/​styles. Great for cheap items that have a lot of potential, will definitely shop here again.
Staff was really friendly and they had a relaxed atmosphere which made me and friends feel really comfortable combing through their stuff.

What a gem!!!
THE GOOD: Well, besides kicking off my shoes and quite literally diving into a pile of name brand clothing… EVERYTHING IS $ 2! No tricks, no gimmicks, that’s it. Hell, there’s even a Unilocal deal! BCBG skirts, American Eagle hoodies annnnnd Coach shoes! Ahhhh! Everything is new and comes from television so the stories behind the clothes are cool too. So glad I found you!
THE BAD: Parking can be tricky, don’t park in the Pleasure Chest next door… Unless of course you happen to buy somthing there :)
THE UGLY: I didn’t realize the Unilocal!deal and spent $ 50 without getting $ 75 worth of stuff :(

I’m a bit of a second-​hand clothing connoisseur; I’m so used to swap meets and thrift stores that even the clearance racks at Kohl’s give me sticker shock. So I was psyched to hear about a new place where everything is just $ 2!
There are a couple of racks on the side, but otherwise there’s an ENORMOUS pile of clothing on the floor. You take your shoes off, climb on top of it, and begin searching. (They have baskets to stash your shoes and any clothes you’ve already decided to buy.) It’s a treasure hunt/​adventure/​cool place to meet other adventurous folks. So it’s a lot of fun, and if you have the stamina, you could stay there searching for half the day.
The pros:
— the staff are super cool and friendly
— you often get discounts (yes, even a $ 2/​item store gives you discounts!): buy 5 items get one free, or get a free item for signing up for their text alert list, or a free item for each friend you bring
— I think they get new items a few times a week, so stock changes frequently
— the chill guy working there told me that the proceeds go to charity. Which charity? I’m not sure. But maybe your purchase is supporting a good cause.
— I’ve been on a Sunday afternoon and a Thursday evening, and it was very easy to find street parking at each of those times.
The cons:
— the quality is not always great. As Melanie G said, some of the clothes are ripped or damaged, or some are stained. A lot of them run in very small or very large sizes.
— There’s an LA Weekly article about this store that makes it seem like every other item is from a brand name or designer; that’s not the case. (This could be the fault of LA Weekly, rather than the store.) But you can find some cool stuff, and there are designer items here and there.
(I’m not listing the fact that everything is in a massive pile as a con. If that’s a con for you, don’t come here!)
My best finds, from 2 visits: a couple of Ralph Lauren polos, a DKNY long sleeved t-​shirt, a very pretty lace dress, a Patagonia skort in great condition, and a «Lacoste» polo that turned out to be a knock-​off. Mind you, this required a LOT of searching!
My verdict is: the $ 2 clothing store is well worth a trip, as long as you have time and energy to spare and your expectations about what sort of stuff you will find are not too high. And if you like this, you’ll love someplace like the LACC weekend swap meet (tons of booths with used clothes for $ 1 — $ 3.)
Cash only; no fitting room, so dress in tight clothes that you can try things on over. Happy searching! :)

Loved it. Out of all the secondhand stores I’ve visited in LA/​Hollywood area, THIS was my favorite. Small store, no racks, just a huge pile of clothes to dig through. It was very fun. Sat on top of the mountain of clothes and found some cute stuff.
Unfortunately, I can’t give them 5 stars because a lot of the clothes are terribly ripped and damaged.
Also, wear leggings and a tank so you can try on the stuff before you buy. No fitting room of course. Just a mirror. Owners were very fun, and friendly.
