This charmingly shambolic store is filled with the smell of incense, definitely a pleasant change from musty clothes. While you probably won’t find many true vintage pieces, an ornate Indian salwar kameez will occasionally appear among the motley assortment of dresses that start at $15. A few men’s tuxedo shirts are tucked beside the Kensington student standards: disco, western, Hawaiian and print button-downs (all of which can be had for as little as $10). Occasionally, more contemporary clothing appears among the racks in the form of knitted ponchos or sweaters (from $10), men’s golf shirts and women’s blouses (from $10) or jackets (from $15).
