Berda Paradise Thrift Store

LOVE this thrift store! After my Marie Kondo Cleaning, I would nightly drop off loads and loads of items. (not good to do at night, they say). I’ve donated or gifted 75% of my personal items.
When I gave away something I should NOT have, they gave it back to me…
Super NIce Folk, Super Cheap Thrift Store! Ma & Pa Thrift. The Hollywood Free Clinic was there for me… and this store supports them. YES, you have my support.

Good selection of stuff here, and cheap prices. The lady working there was giving off super weird rude vibes, and I did not feel welcome at all. GF agrees and was already out the door.
Given the competition for such stores esp. in this area I won’t be back.

MY FAVORITE THRIFT STORE IN ALL OF LOS ANGELES!!!
The perfect mix of eclectic, random items with LOW prices. This store is a veritable treasure trove and I LOVE the lady that’s always working there. She is so sweet, helpful, down to earth, and incredibly reasonable.

Yesterday I had one of the rudest experiences ever that I am sure I will never step foot in this store again! The door to this place was wide open and just when I stepped one foot into the door a dark skinned woman with an afro who was talking on the phone looked at me and told me that the store was closed. I didn’t think much of it other than the fact that I was upset because my friend had told me about a sweater she saw here that I intended on buying so I just turned around and left. It occurred to me that I should check the time so that I knew what time they closed and when I looked at my watch and it was 6:23. –_​_​_​– what store closes at such an odd hour? and if she was really closed why didnt she close the door?! I will never buy here again nor will my friend who is actually a regular here. I can’t stand rude people!

It’s hard walking out of here. There’s always something to look at.
Even the people who work here, they are great to look at.
I’ve found shoes, fur coats, and strange (cowboy porn) fabric here. Their stuff is incredibly random –and that’s part of fun and thrill of the hunt.
Cheers!

Great prices /​/​New merchandise daily it seems

I just came across this on a real whim and saw the «thrift store» sign and had to pop in. I was pleasantly surprised by the selection and especially loved that they have a «dollar rack.» I picked up an amazing Annie-​Hall style wool tweed sport jacket for $ 1!
The wool is thin enough to wear here in sunny socal and the greenish hue is a nice transitional shade as we go from spring to summer. I can also wear this during fall/​winter so that’s a double plus!
One DOLLAR. geez. I’m coming back, ’nuff said.

My dentist is right next door here so every time I have an appointment I stop by after. I browse the store trying to find that special gem and I usually do.
There have a good variety of things from purses to mugs, to framed pictures to knick knacks.
Oh, and there’s no tax here!

i like this little store quite a bit! i wouldn’t call it a vintage store though. to me, this gem is a really good thrift store. it’s actually a nice change of pace too. the prices are reasonable, and you can find some really neat gently used or even new but recylced items. as is the case with most little shops like this, the fitting room situation kinda sucks and is awkward at best. still, this is by no means a deterent for me and my browsing. they have so many things (clothes, books, housewares, jewelry, etc.) that i imagine one could really spend a tremendous amount of time sifting through items. i have at times. i especially like their clearance deals they situate by the entrance. ah, what a convenience to have $ 1 items in one spot for the picking.

This is a great resale store and I’ve been shopping here for years. I’ve found real steals for both myself and friends. It does become inconsistent I think due to the times when their donations are high (like around the fall leading to the holidays) which is the best time to find something. Sometimes on the pricey side but weighing the item and price, well worth it and the cause towards the Hollywood Free Clinic!

Although non-​descript in appearance and location, I love this thrift shop, Berda (a wonderful & humorous woman), and the friendly women who work here. Like many shops that rely on donations, the inventory and quality is hit and miss – but when you hit here, you hit big! In her words, Berda spent «a century» in the garment/​fashion industry. Her connections equal donations of brand new designer lots of clothing. My latest «hit» at Berda Paradise included several new pieces from the trendy Westside «Cordelia» at a fraction of the retail price. While I was there, a designer delivered a huge box of brand new hip baby clothes from his business gone bust. Also, this shop cycles out the clothing to the $ 1 rack on a regular basis so check back regularly. The vintage collection was a little slim this trip but next time, who knows? Bottom line, you can feel great about any purchase as proceeds go to the Free Clinic a couple of doors away.

Interesting vintage store; lots of old books, knick knacks, and oddities for a fairly cheap price. Most of the clothes (over 90%) are for women and are a lot cheaper than the other vintage shops on Sunset.

a little vintage thrift store it was ok less clothes than other thrift stores but i managed to find some kool ass levi jeans on the rack outside the store that was $ 1 =P

What Liberal Media?
A Teenagers Prayer Book (copyright 1963) – a good gift/​joke book
About a Boy
The Little Prince
I’ve found really good used books here. You can find cast off Fodor and Lonely Planet books as well – sometimes just for $ 1!
I think the Sunset Free Clinic benefits from the sales from the thrift store.

Located in the same mini-​mall as El Cochinito and Baskin-​Robbins, is this tiny confused thrift store.
Containing as much junk as it might have Gems. Its got clothing, appliances, books, you name it really, silverware, dishes…
T-​shirts for a dollar outside, and varying other attrocities abound.
Not somewhere I would seek out, as it doesn’t specialize but for a moment to walk around and check out hideous hats, and painful old dresses, a couple ancient ties, and a barbie TV, it can’t be beat.
