Description

Although this clothing store has a punk reputation, it's actually more of an eclectic vintage paradise than that descriptor would suggest. Sure, there's all kinds of kooky décor—from sinister looking Chucky dolls to BDSM-styled mannequins—but the real attraction here are the jam-packed racks of secondhand clothes, one-of-a-kind pieces and beautifully weird accessories. If your tastes tend more toward the conservative, you might do better to visit during Halloween, when some of the items could easily be converted into outrageous costumes and wearable conversation pieces.
