Playclothes at 3100 West Magnolia Boulevard, Burbank, California.

One of the very best vintage stores in the Los Angeles area. Think of it as a museum of fashion where you can buy the exhibits.

As soon as you walk in the door, you can see the quality everywhere, including the building itself. A former showroom for fancy architectural molding and wood floors, the space is a wonderland of crown moldings, painting ceilings and chandeliers. It looks like a set designer's idea of a palatial boutique from the past that's as spectacular as its contents.

But, the clothes and accessories are also spectacular. If you like vintage, this is truly about as good as it gets. These were high-end clothes (not all designer or couture, but beautiful design and construction).

The condition of the items are so good they all tend to look like new!

If I hadn't been shopping with a mission for back to school clothes, I could easily have spent hours there--I will go back and do just that.

A surprising and delightful place, run by very nice people.

I stumbled upon this place not too long ago, and I love it. Even if you're not planning on shopping, its really great just to look around. It seems like they have clothes from all different decades. Such a great vintage store, I'd love to visit it again.
