Junk for Joy is my favorite spot for last minute costume items! They always have just what I'm looking for, even the most specific details!

I’ve been going to this store for years! The owner Kathleen and her staff are so friendly and inviting. I understand that there may be times where everyone is busy dealing with a customer and may not be able to greet or assist immediately, if you you stick around, you usually can have your custom costume for your event be pieced by piece in their wonderful and electic shop.They don’t sell prepackaged costumes. They sell collectible vintage and costumes ranging from used studio wardrobe to home made costumes made with love and the special touch.Halloween is super busy in there, so sometimes I see seasonal staff such as the man at the checkout stand to help fill in the gaps since there are few costume specialists on hand.It’s a family owned buisness. I’ve always felt welcomed to share my costuming ideas as well as share my personal life with them. As an Asian person of color and as well as a gay guy, I feel pretty comfortable in the shop. Kathleen is so warm and genuinely welcoming, I think I’ve spent half a day in their several times just catching up with her. She’s so lovely if you get a chance to have her assist you.I’ve never left the store empty handed. And I always leave with a smile.I had to count my change twice today because I realized her prices were so good that I saved a lot of money by making Junk For Joy my first stop!

I’ve never been greeted every time I come here I’ve been asked to put my bag in the front I’m not 100% sure but I’m pretty sure they tried to overcharge me for some thing. I’ve been in the store when they’ve greeted every other person but me I’m brown I highly recommend not going here.

Definitely my favorite vintage shop on Magnolia w great selection of statement and vintage basics. Anything from Gunne Sax to suit pocket squares and steampunk corsets. I've never seen so much curated vintage in one place before. They also have their fair share of knick knacks up at the front and in the center of the store (vintage greeting cards, pins, etc)

Looking for a costume? Well you found your spot. Walking into this shop is like walking into the costume closet of a theater. It's a cavalry of costumes. The perfect place for Halloween any more with vintage galore! For thrift store tours in LA and beyond check out, @greggusto on TikTok and Instagram.

Junk for Joy is such a find! I came in to find costumes for an event I was staffing, and found everything I needed very quickly. I had a wonderful chat with the woman that owns the store and have been sending people their way ever since. I can't wait to get back there to find the next treasure!

A great little place full of funky costumes, clothing, and accessories. I stopped in and not only found what I was looking for, but also found the staff to be incredibly helpful and welcoming. Their prices are great for the area as well.

I love this store. There is always something interesting to see -- some of which you gotta work to find! The stock is always new and exciting and there is something for everyone to marvel at. The owner is affable and treats you more than just a customer.

A fantastic array of vintage/costume/theater apparel. Very well sorted with knowledgeable staff if you have questions. Price ranges are great for those thrifting or those looking for particular items.

Often enough, if I'm looking for a certain thing, this place will have it for a very reasonable price.
