Hello Rachel. Im stunned at your comment because about half of our inventory is new-old. We dry clean and repair everything. Are you sure you are reviewing the right business? There are about 6 places on la Brea and judging by the places you like in NY- you want streetwear and 90s or Y2K. My bet is you reviewing the wrong business. If Im wrong, sorry we disappointed you.

Was on. Things look worn out. I'm here in work trip. I prefer NYC Vintage shopping, NY Vintage, Pilgrim New York, James Veloria etc procell! I didn't find anything that seemed fresh.
A really fabulous vintage clothing boutique with an amazing staff and owner. The selection is highly unique and full of one-of-a-kind pieces from the 1890s to the current day, ranging from retro pieces perfect for everyday wear to ethnic or anthropological clothing to extraordinary pieces by haute couturiers, plus accessories galore - the selection of millinery really stands out as most vintage shops tend to be lacking in chic chapeaus! The owner Doris has an exceptional eye and is a veritable font of knowledge about fashion, as is the stores eponymous YouTube channel on which she explains about the history of various designers and fashion movements across the eras. The online store is nice, but contains but a fraction of the stores total stock so one really needs to actually visit the shop in person to take in the breadth of the collection on sale. Personally, the best thing about the vast array of items is how eclectic it all is; while some of the other vintage shops in Los Angeles such as Decades and Recess L.A. are mainly trendy and focus on the upper price range for vintage, you can find everything in The Way We Wores diverse assortment, from Edwardian lace tea dresses to 20s flapper shifts to Diors New Look to 30s Chinese cheongsams to Studio 54-ready Halston dresses to current-day designer prices from just one or two seasons ago - all at price points from $20 to tens of thousands. It really is every vintage lovers dream emporium, one in which every single item has been purposefully selected - you arent paying through endless racks of dreck to find the diamond in the rough like you would at a thrift store. The one thing that I would change around The Way We Wore is that I wish they carried more mens clothing but theyd have to expand the store because as is the shop is jam-packed from wall to wall so its understandable that their selection for men is quite limited. P.S. The store is just down the road from the iconic Pinks, so you can spend an afternoon searching for treasures and finish with a hot dog at a legendary Hollywood hangout thats lined with photographs of the stars, many of whom wouldve worn or have worn the apparel that you just bought at TWWW!
Thank you so much for your very kind and generous review. Please introduce yourself the next time you come in. Thanks for taking the time to write. Doris

This is my favorite store on planet earth, a true treasure chest with an incredible range of brands and prices in excellent condition. Doris Raymond is amazing.
Dear Dr. Brathwaite, I am really disturbed by reading this and am reaching out to you to personally to apologize for the inexcusable and bad experience you had in the store. I am reading your comment for the first time today. I honestly wish you had said something at the time and that employee would have been spoken to. Thank you for taking the time to alert me this issue. Its about time for all people to be treated the same and there is no excuse if you and your wife felt slighted. I really am sorry you had a bad experience. Respectfully, Doris Raymond, owner

SAME OLD...SAME OLD. Will we ever stop anti-black bias or will my posterity and I have to put up with this nonsense forever?! My wife and I walk into this store today and were given only the most perfunctory of greetings. The attendant barely even looks up or comes from the back where she was sitting. This was bad enough, especially after my wife has fantasized about coming to this store for almost two years since watching the TV show LA Frock Stars on the Smithsonian Channel. About five minutes later, after being generally ignored by the attendant, a white-appearing woman enters. All of a sudden, the white-appearing attendant comes alive, is effusive in her greeting, and explains the layout of the store as she winsomely engages the white shopper. My wife goes over to the attendant and asks why we did not hear about the store upon entering, and she says, "Oh, I thought you heard when I spoke to the other shopper." This is the kind of stuff that makes us Black folks sick and tired. LA is supposed to be the "city of woke," and yet these aggressions based solely on personal bias continue unabated. I am personally and generationally disgusted by this, and the attendant, owners, and anyone connected with this store and show should be ashamed to be associated with this kind of behavior. I WILL NEVER GO BACK HERE AGAIN. DR. B.
