Repeat Performance

This place is amazing. I felt like I was entering a vintage dream world. Dark and full of clothes, shoes, and antiques. I could have spent hours here. The back section was closed but I was told its full of vintage 40s and 60s clothes. The owner has been running the shop for 32 years. She was great to me, I don’t know why there are mentions of her being not nice. Greet her and show interest in her shop and she will treat you well. This place is a gem. You have to see it to believe it. She does take credit cards.

Although the store itself wasn’t great it also doesn’t deserve the other rave reviews, the staff (mainly the older woman who owns it) was rude unhelpful and down right stalkerish. I will never return to the store it smelled like mothballs and filled with cheap toys. If your looking for a fur coat or some type if dead animal then by all means… Back to the owner (I think she is at least) there is a sign out front that says if you have a large bag or purse please leave in your car or at the cash register. (ok lady that makes sense) BUT MY BAG IS SMALL. So lady stop following me around store yelling at me to not break anything. I am a grown woman that has control over her body and purse.

It was love at first sight. Filled with treasures of all kinds I could have spent 3 days pouring through the clothing, costumes, corsets, jewelry, shoes and one of a kind finds. The prices are very reasonable compared to stores in California. June the owner, is lovely if you give her the chance to open up. Don’t be afraid to ask where anything is but do it with a sweet smile and demeanor. They are only open 12 – 4 Wednesday through Saturday and the building is rather nondescript so keep your eye out.

Repeat Performance will either have exactly what you need or everything you can think of to put together the outfit/​costume/​period dress you need. My husband and I discovered RP on a visit years ago mainly just to poke around antiques, but we were wow’d by the costume and clothing sections.
Now a stop at RP every year is a must. There is an annual dinner auction we attend that has a different theme every year. but without fail, RP has had something for one or both of us to fit the bill. Carmen Miranda hat? check. A seafaring captain’s coat? check. Beetlejuice suit? yup. Tuxedo coats in every color? yeah, got that.
The amazing thing is that June, the wonderful owner, has an incredible memory of where everything is in the place. I walked in today and said: 1940’s-1950’s dress for a fancy occasion on Oahu… we walked right to the dress. Only a little alteration needed because I am short.
She bargained the price down and had several choices of matching gloves too!
My only regret about Repeat Performance is that I can only go there once a year when I visit the Springs. I hope they never close.
ALWAYS call to make sure they are open. At this posting RP is open Wed-​Sat noon-​4pm. Nearest landmark is the Olympic Training Center across the street.

Love! Love this place, amazing finds, can be bit expensive but unusual finds. Owner is from Germany she is a bit frosty, just make sure you go early enough she usually kicks you out right at closing time!
