Replay Vintage

I’m not impressed. I called the store, a woman answered and said, «Vintage Replay.» So I asked how late they are open and I hear nothing. I say, «Hello?, Hello??, HELLO??.» I get no reply, but the time is still going for the call on my cell phone so I know she hasn’t hung up. I wait a little longer, say, «Hello, Hello?» Then I hang up. I call back and the line’s busy, so I suspect she just put the phone down and walked away so no one could call. I call in a few minutes she answers and says, «Vintage Replay.» I start to ask if she can hear me, because maybe she couldn’t hear me. The same thing happens and I hear nothing. I call back again and I’m irritated now. She says, «Vintage Replay.» I quickly and loudly blurt out, «I keep calling and I keep getting hung up on,» before she has a chance to put the phone down. She says, «I didn’t hear anything and I’m really busy here.» (I’m thinking, but you have time to waste continually answer the phone because you keep hanging up on people?) I said, «You need to give people more than one second to answer.» I did get the information I wanted and I guess I’ll go and check the store out, but jeez, its tiring the lack of concern people have for social etiquette, especially when they’re working with the public.

This is a pretty cute vintage shop located in the newer part of the Claremont village. It has a lot of cute finds, like sunglasses, sun dresses and hats. However, a lot of it is thrift store quality and the prices are insane. I picked up a cotton sweater (not a name brand) and it was $ 50. I love supporting the local community but the prices are way to steep at this store!

This place is awesome! There’s one girl that works here (never got her name) and she’s so nice and sweet. The store itself is quite small but so homey. It’s basically the Village’s hidden gem of vintage clothing. All the items are decently priced and it’s so affordable! Some of the clothes have an Urban Outfitter’s-esque feel to it but it’s pretty much half the price of what UO sells :-) Replay always has the best high-​waisted denim shorts and they’re max like $ 30. So worth it! I also got this button-​up from there and it’s so unique and obviously vintage looking! I look forward to coming here everytime I’m in Claremont and I’ll def be coming back on a consistent basis.

You can spot this place inside of the Packing House in the Claremont Village. They have exclusive, vintage pieces for reasonable prices. I love this store (: The only reason Ive given them 3 stars is they dont open as advertised. I waited from 11:55 until 2 pm & they were still CLOSED. I dont live in the area anymore so I was extremely bothered that my day was delayed.
