I am hooked! As a personal stylist, I am always looking for hot places to shop around town. I stumbled across this beautiful boutique, intrigued by the outstanding window displays they always have. I could not have even imagined what I came across when I walked inside. It was pure heaven. They had beautiful pieces from every era from the 20's to current trends; gowns, cocktail dresses, seperates, shoes and handbags. The sales girls were so happy to help, answered all my questions, and took the time to show me some special pi... read more

F rating from Better Business Bureau – Don't consign your things here. Ask anyone. The owner of this business, Elizabeth M. Mason, is a pretentious freak with severe narcissistic disorder suffering from extreme delusions of grandeur. All the reviews you read about her she writes herself. Yes she's been on Oprah, but that was many years ago, and she's never been invited back. Don't take my advice, if you want to be abused and taken advantage of. Ask anyone, none has a nice word to say about her.

Avoid at any and all cost! – Disaster on all levels, although not apparent on the first try. I submitted one Delvaux bag, one Ferragamo bag and one brand new Hermes scarf for consignment. After appx one year, the Ferragamo bag sold. My take was $50. It took 3 months to collect the $50, and that was after many threats on the telephone. After another year, I wanted my Delvaux bag and the Hermes scarf back AND THEY COULDN'T FIND THEM. I had to go to the store myself and try to find them, since their inventory records are appare... read more

Great Vntage bridal Collection – A beautiful addition to my memories for my wedding. I had been on the haunt for the perfect vintage wedding gown for almost a year now and a friend suggested I try 'The Princess'....she had seen gorgeous bridal gowns in their windows when she drives to work everyday...so I called ahead and set an appointment to view their collection. They have the collection safely tucked away behind a pink velvet rope, how cute!!! This is my kind of place! The girls there were so helpful taking me through th... read more

Coming from San Fransisco, Ive seen a lot of great vintage boutiques, but while visiting Los Angeles, I decided to look for the perfect gown that I have been needing for an event I am attending. I went all over town, and came across this place after several recommendations. WOW! My jaw dropped the minute I walked in the door. I couldnt believe my eyes. They had EVERYTHING! Every piece I looked at was more beautiful then the last. From the most beautiful gowns, a great collection of Chanel, Pucci and Yves St. Laurent to a dis... read more

I can not get over the shear volume this boutique has, they must have pillaged every Hollywood Celebrities Closets!!! I found the PREFECT Vicky Tiel cocktail dress for my engagement party, then the most beautiful Vera Wang wedding dress....it was a one stop shop for me. The sales ladies were just darling and so very helpful. Although the prices are not inexpensive, my Vera gown was still $2,200, but it was well worth the price, as I am sure it would have been well over $7,000 new....Oh and best of all they do alterations as ... read more

Impressive Collection – I have a weakness for vintage clothes. Usually go to more casual store because I can’t enjoy myself when the sales people in a store walk around with an air of self importance, and that place seemed like I to me from the outside. But when I finally walked in they were nice and helpful, and I sent almost two hours looking at their very extensive inventory, the accessories section alone took me a long while. They are a little expensive but some of the find I got there were worth it.
