This is such a nice shop with a great selection of designer brands. The salesman working there was super friendly. I visited some time back and got the cutest Gucci shoes. Planning another visit in a few weeks when I'll be in LA.

Visited from out of state. Free parking on the side. Handbags, shoes, clothing, and accessories. High-quality, limited finds, so the prices reflect that. I am not sure how to compare pricing as I don't shop luxury brands, and I imagine the prices would be different where I live. The customers appeared to enjoy the selections.

There were no surprises along the way because he always kept me informed of every step of progress while maintaining professionalism at every turn.

Literally the best consignment store in Los Angeles. Well curated, impeccable taste, and one of kind items from different designers. Has a great selection from Zimmermann with tags, Phoebe Philo for Celine, new Bottega, and vintage Jean Paul Guiltier and so much more. True gem!

I have gotten some amazing mens items from Gift of Garb - the owner Abby is great and the stores curation has a strong direction. The women's items are amazing and I have gotten well loved gifts for my mom and sister! Thanks Gift of Garb!

One of my favorite shops in LA! It's myGo-to for special events and really everything, I can't say enough how much I love this store! I had just returned from 4 months out of town and Nathan helped me find the most exquisite, gorgeous Zimmermann dress for an awards event. He has such a great eye, he even suggested the perfect makeup and nail colors. I was so happy with my look- I felt like I was in the best hands! I just brought a friend from SF here and she bought a gorgeous Raquel Allegra dress. The prices are perfect, too! The merchandise changes so much there are always the most gorgeous new pieces from my favorite designers every time I come in - Ulla Johnson, Zimmermann, Doen, Jesse Kamm, Isabel Marant! The shoe & bag collection is equally stellar! The owner, Abby, has an incredible eye, everything is so beautifully curated & perfect! It's truly a gem of a store! I can't wait to see what beauties await next time I'm in!

Love love LOVE this gem. I found Gift of Garb during the beginning of the pandemic after having a crap ton of time to edit my wardrobe and noticing gaps in my closet that I wanted to fill. The owner edits the store so well that the Phoebe Philo Celine era lover and Zimmermann and Alaia super fem girls will both find such good pieces - which is rare. Hint - shop their instagram!!! The handle is @giftofgarb and they post pieces usually a few times a week that are available and ship for a pretty inexpensive flat fee. I try to limit how often I go so that I don't go broke, but it's pretty hard to visit without leaving with something. And black and women of color, I appreciate how well I am treated here. Maybe I've been lucky and interacted with the right staff, but I felt comfortable and at home here. And if you aren't a POC, still make the trip and go!

My experience with this shop has been quite disappointing multiple times. I love finding sustainable + designer secondhand and continually love finding those unique pieces to incorporate into my photo work. I also work in sustainable fashion myself and even found a few friends' brands in the store. The first time I went was with a friend and the worker at the time did not greet us or acknowledge us and rather glared at us both the whole time we were browsing. I was quite excited to check out the space as I found it had glowing reviews on Yelp, but unfortunately I felt a bit dismissed. I thought maybe the worker wasn't having the best day so I just decided to leave and let it go. I wanted to give it a second chance, so I went again a second time about two weeks ago, and it was the same. The male worker there also did not acknowledge me and the second later, another customer walked in and he immediately greeted her. I know for a fact that he saw me walk in as we made eye contact and now I'm beginning to think that this is possibly a race issue, because I'm a woman of color and the next customer was an older white woman. Not sure if he thought I wouldn't buy anything so he didn't bother with the niceties. I actually wanted to purchase both times I've gone in store, but ultimately felt turned off and didn't want to support a store that disregarded me. I've worked in fashion + luxury retail for a couple of years as well and have never treated anyone like this, even with my bad days. I'm pretty tired of this notion that people have to want to "better the community" with their stores when in fact, it seems to be the opposite. Also, maybe don't use the work of amazing POC designers to uphold this elitist type of culture. Highly disappointing and it's upsetting because the selection itself is great.

Finally made it in today and have to say "it's everything I'd hoped". I'm a vintage and luxury lover and shop vintage OFTEN so I tend to know what things are worth. The prices here are pretty damn great. Nothing is bad quality and I left with a few items I'm in love with. I'll be back and I'm so happy this store is here now as I knew it was in Eagle Rock awhile back. This is a perfect addition to Los Feliz/Silver Lake.

Gift of Garb is my favorite neighborhood shop, and is always the first place I bring friends or family visiting from out of town. Abby does a great job curating her assortment. Flipping through racks, each item feels *special* and unique.Not only is the storefront itself darling, but the staff is always super fun and helpful. If you like designer consignment, you will LOVE Gift of Garb.

The shop is a hidden gem and worth visiting. I loved how the items were so thoughtfully curated--a wonderful mix of known names and indie/sustainable designers. The items are in impeccable condition! The owner was so helpful with my purchases. I couldn't be more thrilled. I'll be back!

It is so important to shop sustainably, and I really try my best to scratch my shopping itch with ethical and recycled fashion. However, consignment shops tend to be a gamble with sources like The Real Real (whose heart is in the right place but the quality is such a crapshoot given the volume of items and shoppers) and other shops that feel like an expensive garage sale. And even if the inventory checks all the boxes, employees can tend to be elitists and not the most helpful or approachable. What I love about this shop is the attention to style, quality, and value with their sourcing. I always feel like I will find a treasure here. But what truly sets them apart is their kindness. I love how responsive and attentive they are on social media and eBay, and how upfront and vigilant they are surrounding COVID protocols. It really feels like they love what they do, helping people embrace and enjoy sustaining the life cycle of heritage and luxury pieces. The industry could use more places like GoG. Thanks!

I love this place. It’s my go to everything from bags, shoes, dresses, jeans, tops, slacks, sweaters, blazers hats, belts, jewelry, sunglasses and so much more. I have been shopping here for years and have always had consistently great customer service and variety of product. I never leave empty handed. I recently met the owner and she is the sweetest girl and so knowledgeable about different designers. I was so great talking to her and I learned so much just talking to her. I tell all my friends about her shop and even some of my friends from Argentina have now started shopping her eBay store. Also for those of you wondering if it’s safe to shop. She has a little table set up at the entrance with masks, gloves and sanitizer, so smart and really makes you feel safe!!
