I cant believe that Ive been coming to this store for like 7 years and it FINALLY DAWNED ON ME TO WRITE A REVIEW??! This store is soooo elegant and FULL of splendor and amazing curated vintage and modern pieces. It reminds me of a high end box of chocolates where the box and wrapping and ribbon is so elegant that you feel guilty for eating the candy lol. This place is my guilty pleasure. The decadence comes from the decor and selection but the sweetness comes from the staff. Its a small staff but they work hard to help you find what you are looking for and what you didnt even know you needed in your wardrobe! lol. The owners Marie and Ian are very kind and down to earth and have treated me so well all these years. I am truly grateful to them for helping my little collection of awesome vintage grow. I treasure everything I have bought from there. If you havent been here then you're missing out!

I visited the store in August, while travelling from Paris, France. What a jewel ! Found several treasures that I absolutely love to wear -- glamorous and vibrant ; elegantly spectacular. Great staff, joyfully dedicated. I loved the vibe (+ prices were fair and I could easily find items with the right size, which is not always easy in vintage-oriented stores). The store itself is an eye-candy. Definitely the ideal place if you want to take your wardrobe to the next level !

I am OBSESSED with this place! I got my birthday dress here and took my mom when she came to visit! She got these gorgeous decanters for her bar. The staff is so kind and the owners really care. So glad I found this gem!

This is the best vintage store in LA and probably the planet. The best people, the best service, and all of the clothes are in a consistently awesome state. There’s also a section with designer clothes from the last decade or so- perfect for when you missed out on an iconic runway piece from the past few years. The home section is well curated- I’ve purchased a great chandelier and other decor that I’m super happy with. They go above and beyond to provide true service and no one has more new amazing things as often as Recess does. A small business gem in LA ❤️❤️

Love this place. Walked in seeking a vintage like gold clutch for an event that weekend -and the sales staff was so helpful. I am picky and assumed I wouldn't find the right item in the nick of time but voila - I did and couldn't be happier and at a very fair price point for a vintage item in spotless condition. (I also walked out with a bracelet and vintage sunglasses.) Thanks so much - I watch you guys on Insta - I'd come in all of the time if I didn't live out of state. Great products, great prices, and impeccable service.

Beautifully curated selection of vintage and the service is impeccable. We walked in after finding them on yelp and discovered some real treasures we took home with us. The staff is super friendly and kind, this place is an absolute dream!!! Will be one of my must-stop spots in LA. Prices are very fair and are wide ranging, there is something for everyone at Recess.

The owner is a professional. She knows designer clothing from known pieces by Yves Saint Laurent to exquisite rare pieces from not known designers. In fact, the vintage pieces are artworks. They are lovingly picked out for what is genuinely interesting and beautiful not necessarily for what would "sell". Sure, that is part of it, but you can tell when you walk inside this little museum of delicious fabrics and accessories filled with character and colors that remind you why a particular combination looks so good. Anyways; I've attempted to consigned with them on my first attempt and realized quickly this place was no joke. Unlike other places that sort through your belongings that you think worthy of display and pay, Recess is more of a curatorial effort that keeps seasons, quality and style in mind. Don't get offended or take it personal. Instead learn from them - them being the people that call the shots on the clothing and other items for consigning. I did, my second attempt went great and I sold my first piece about a month ago with them. Extremely fair on the pricing and all the content in the contract makes sense. It's a joy to go through all the pieces displayed while they assess your stuff too!

I was so pleased with my visit to Recess today. I'd never been there before, and wanted to see if they thought any of my vintage items were sellable. They were so nice, efficient, and professional. The store is gorgeous and chock-a-block with gorgeous things. I highly recommend.
