I adore The Alley. It is unlike any other vintage/consume store you will go into, because the staff is very helpful and kind. It is like a 'boutique' in the sense that you are helped to find the items you're looking for and those that suit you best. I think it's sweet how the staff will hype you up when you try something on, or let you know if it isn't working. Some might find this to be 'too much,' but to that I say: politely tell them you are just looking to browse today. That's all! The selection is curated and seems to change every time I'm in there, and it seems to be The Spot for events such as Ren Fair and LARP sessions. Really, it's great. And I have found spectacular pieces there for very fair prices. The curator of the vintage/Victorian-era clothing seems to care deeply about these pieces. If you're in the area, I highly recommend. I have a necklace from there that I wear every single day, haha.

Love coming here, especially for the Rennaisance Fair. They've helped me every year find accesories for my costume and have an enormous selection for whatever you're looking for.

Such a fun store. Love the new location! If your a Renfest fan there is always new garb to look at and try on. A great selection of vintage clothing and the best prices for a full tux.

My fiancé and I came here for our last minute renfest outfits, from the second we came in we were greeted and helped by Aidan, he was SUPER helpful and asked us what we were looking for, and knew exactly what we needed! This was extremely helpful as this is our first time dressing up for the festival and we weren’t sure what exactly to get.He walked and talked us through the process of how to put things on, tie things, and gave us options for accessories. A-lot of the stuff IS pretty pricey, BUT its great quality and doesn’t look cheap or fake, so honestly the prices are justified!They are hands on, but respectful about it. but I did want to add that just in case thats something you arent a fan of!Aidan was super friendly and outgoing, awesome worker we really liked him, and he made the whole “last minute stress shopping” really fun and stress free:)Basically I give the store a 10/10, i honestly don't write a-lot of reviews but I genuinely loved my experience and wanted to share it!

A wonderful place! Huge selection in a small store, the shopkeeper was busy but somehow still very attentive, their prices are ranged and I found some nice accessories for cheap. Will definitely come back to Ohio for this sometime ?

Great customer service, good people a little pricey but your paying for the expertise and the convenience of so many Eras in 1 location

The Alley is packed to the gills with amazing clothing and costume pieces. A perfect place to buy a full costume for the renaissance festival or find cosplay accessories. Vintage pieces galore! The selection includes what you might expect and beyond. The pricing is fair for the quality but do not expect it to be light on the pocket book. This unsuspecting shop is a must visit if you’re in the Columbus area.

What a wonderful experience here today! We went in for some RenFaire ideas and Halloween costume shopping as well. The selection was AMAZING! The staff was incredibly friendly, and VERY helpful! (they pretty much knew every item they had off the top of their head)They helped us pick out specific items, and went and chose pieces that worked perfectly with the look we were trying to achieve.Can't say enough good things about this place, we'll be back, often and tell everyone we know to come here!

Fantastic place to find costumes and clothes from across a variety of eras. From Renaissance to flapper dresses to steampunk and even tuxes for a fancy wedding or night out! They also have leather pouches, belts, jewelry! It’s a wonderland of cool clothing for all your needs.
