Echoes of Time

This place is overwhelming in terms of costume items. As soon as you walk in, you’re hit with the «Hi you’re on TV» and you have to put your things in a locker.
I bought a masquerade mask and the employee even swapped out the ties for elastic which was a better fit.
Overall, I will come back and maybe buy a legitimate costume.

Great selection of costumes and special effects supplies. You will not be disappointed. This place has everything you need for any type of occasion, from Santa suits to Halloween items. Awesome place!

Great costume for my daughter’s birthday. There was a glitch though the lady who rented mr. Mouse took the miss mouse too with her and when i went to pick it up they didn’t have it. I was so upset. They went to pick it up and brought it to my house. I just wish i had got some money back or something because i drove all the way there for nothing. Over all the costume was perfect and she loved it

I go here every year for Halloween and they always have something I like. They’re a bit pricey on some things but fair on others. I know you can rent things but I personally haven’t done this.

This place has a huge selection of Costumes. The people were friendly and you can buy or rent the costumes. I’m glad I tried this place!

I came for the jewelry but was pretty disappointed.
I was freaked out upon entering there’s a camera staring at you and multiple signs saying all bags and purses must be put in a locker. Sorry this isn’t a gym and if u want my money I need my purse.
Wasn’t very well organized and didn’t have things clearly labeled. I wouldn’t call this a consignment shop more like a thrift store.

Obnoxious policy of making one leave her purse in a locker. Not a good and friendly way of doing business. They insisted it has been that way for a year, but I had been in there three times before in this year and never had to surrender my purse. Nothing like being told at the very beginning that won’t trust you further than they can throw you and that’s before you even go in. What do they think I’m going to pay them with? What if Dillards did this or any other store for that matter. And do they really think I’m going to stuff a costume in my 10 X 4 inch purse? As far as what the obnoxious lady there told me about them losing too much merchandise…
#1 the jewelry is in cases,
#2 the other pocketable stuff is just junk, so how much is their loss versus what they lose in customer good will? All businesses run this risk and it’s part of doing business
#3 The best deterrent is good customer service. If the salespeople are on the florr interacting with the customers, they are a whole lot less likely to take things.
I have worked in jewelry stores for 40 years and cannot imagine what the customers would say if we confiscated their purses. Occasionally in some stores they need armed guards but that’s because of the real threat of armed robbery, but I have never seen a jewelry store make a woman give up her purse. Ridiculous!!!

Great place! Lots of variety of costumes! Beautiful jewelry to go with it. They just need more people behind the cash register… our check out took forever!

This place reminds me of my grandma’s attic, if she had an adult male size gorilla suit in the back.
Echoes of Time is a vintage and costume store, making it overwhelming awesome. And when I say vintage, I’m not talking about 80s biker shorts and neon green sunglasses, I’m talking 1920s flapper dresses, Victorian hoop skirts, WWII army uniforms – the works. If you want a truly authentic costume or want to pretend you have a fashion time machine, Echoes of Time will fulfill your fantasies.
Expensive? Of course. But I can tell you their costumes are worth it, if it’s worth it to you. Me – I’ll just stick to window shopping and dropping in for a quick game of dress up.

There is an inexplicable shortage of good vintage shops in Hampton Roads. This is one of the few. And it’s a damn good one.
They have a great selection of all the major periods of clothing. The racks and display cases are packed to the rims with stuff.
I used to be a bit of a vintage freak. When I first moved here I sold a few items to Echoes of Time for some extra cash and they gave me a fair deal.
In addition to vintage, they also have a lot of replica costume items: clown noses to ‘50s specs to disco platforms with goldfish in the heels. It is THE go-​to spot for funky Halloween wear to rent/​buy. If there’s something in particular that you want for a costume, however, make sure to reserve it early. They are super busy at Halloween.
They rent all year ’round, even for their regular vintage items. I once rented this great ‘60s satin skirt for a dress-​up party I had at my old job. I had something really unique to wear and I didn’t have to pay a fortune for the privilege of having it hang in my closet for the next 10 years.

I have a real shopping problem and Echoes of Time is an enabler.
I wish this store would just swallow me whole and spit me out, clad in one of a kind vintage pieces. This little hole in the wall in the middle of nowhere is such a wonderful find. Anytime I want jewelry or clothing that everyone will ask where I got and I’ll reply, «Oh, sorry, it’s vintage,» I head to Echoes of Time.
Halloween costumes here are perfect too. Want to be an Indian and not look like a sleazy Pocahontas? This is the place. If you’re into the scandalous costumes, they’ve got those too.
The only drawback is that you will leave with a drastically lighter wallet. They’re aware of their fantastic clothing and jewelry and charge accordingly. Go prepared; make room in your closet with plastic in hand.

I loved this place!
When I walked in they were shooting their commercial for tv and for the inconvenience the owner gave me a discounted price on the dresses I bought.
Their stock was extensive, half the store being cheesy Halloween costumes and the other half being pretty well curated vintage clothing. The women’s dresses were the best finds and if I ever needed to go to prom again, this is the place I would find my dress!
They have new and old accessories, shoes and a 10 dollar section. Their prices aren’t rock bottom, but you are paying for quality pieces that have been picked for their beauty and condition. Check everything for holes before you buy and the owner will fix anything on the spot!
UPDATE: This shop is now at 600 Witchduck Rd.
Happy hunting!
