I live, breathe and eat vintage three meals a day. IMHO I know my shiz. For the city this place does have a good range of anything and everything but the prices vary wildly from waaaaaay overpriced to really good value, which is always confusing to me! Personally I tend to just check out the $ 2 rack outside as have found some easily repairable gems here. FYI, the lady who owns this also runs Metro Retro at the front of St Kev’s and the newly opened Thriftway* also on K’Rd. Aimed at people who like a easy find/​cant get to the real ops in the burbs/​hipsters. Not for hunters like me. *I think? Oh and watch out for the owners ankle biter that often roams the shop!

This op shop is… interesting. It’s full of all manner of odd things — old electronics, vintage fabric, clothes, kitchenware, and hideous knick knacks. My husband was looking for a pair of jeans and I browsed the sewing patterns, but both of us came up empty-​handed. There was quite a bad smell in the back where the clothes are — they were burning incense to try and mask it, but it was really dreadful, like old stagnant water. The sewing pattern prices are quite a joke — $ 10 for a criminally unfashionable 80s blouse? No thanks.
My husband found an old potato chip cutting apparatus in the kitchen section that had mouldy old fries still stuck to the back of it! Foul.
I can’t say I’ll be back — I like a bit of quirkiness in my op shops, but not to the tune of mouldy chips and stinky clothes.

hahaha wow… this place… it looks so cute from the outside with its funny little sign and triangle flags and childlike colours to attract your attention, but then you go inside and realize that an extreme hoarder has just died and they’re selling all the shit they dragged off the street from the past 50 years. Seriously, I’m pretty sure I saw come bit of cardboard being sold for 20 cents in there. It smells really bad… probably something to do with the untrained dog they sometimes have in there that just pisses on the floor because they don’t let it out all day… :| weird shop. Don’t think I intend to return… you leave feeling itchy.

Joseph H is right — this space really is an oddity among the stores along K’Road.
I wanted to like The White Elephant. I worked up the road from the place as it was opening, and it was fun to look through the small windows on the Mercury Lane side of the store and see what was unfolding inside. I assumed that the chaos I could see was because they were still setting up the shop, but I’ve been there a few times since and it still feels like they’re unpacking. I know op shops should have a bargain bin/​dig around feeling to them, but The White Elephant is really just a bunch of crap, like you’d find at the old Aotea Square markets or at Avondale on Sundays. I’ve never walked away with anything from this store. Ever.

Have you ever seen that episode of Friends where Monica and Rachel’s downstairs neighbour, Mr Heckles, dies and leaves his apartment full of junk to them? Well picture that apartment of junk and you’ve pretty much got the White Elephant. It’s a basement just full of pig-​shaped cookie jars, teddy-​shaped teapots and shelf upon shelf of other completely random crap. On the plus side the clothes are well organised and there is even a designer rail where I spied, amongst other things, a Sass and Bide top and a Gaultier shirt for $ 20 and $ 45 respectively.
It’s fun to go have a look round, and even funnier to think that some of this stuff used to sit pride of place in someone’s living room.

What the hell is this place? I really struggle to understand what’s going on in this place. K rd kind of owns the market for chic second hand dispensaries, but this one doesn’t quite fit in with the rest of the gang. Rather than precious artifacts from the past in a charming vintage style, White Elephant seems to put up pretty much anything. There’s no ‘house style’ here. Just a whole bunch of random shit that they’re trying to pawn off on you. It’s really great. I like how weird and confusing it it. I like how terrible all of the clothing is. I like how you get the distinct feeling that nothing is going to work. It’s brilliant.
