Inside, the racks hold one-of-a-kind, rare clothing and accessories from the 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s in every price range. Fresh stock arrives almost every day, which the shop says ensures a new shopping experience for the repeat customer.
Five decades of style on the racks

A $10 rack beside the high-end cases
