Ok so here’s the bad: I’ve been a longtime customer of Unique Vintage, but recently, I think the quality on the items has gone down a bit. The designs are still cute, but the execution is sloppier t... See more

Company details

  1. Shopping & Fashion

Information provided by various external sources

Created by a woman for women, Unique Vintage celebrates the iconic, flirty fashion of the past with modern, ready-to-wear designs for today’s woman. Started in 2000, uniquevintage.com was founded by Katie Echeverry, a vintage fashion lover who would spend her weekdays working in pharmaceutical sales and her weekends on the hunt for vintage dresses to sell on the website she had started as a fun weekend hobby. Quickly recognizing that high quality vintage items were very hard to find, Katie took a chance and began adding vintage-inspired dresses to her site, seeing sales skyrocket almost immediately. This was all it took for Katie to know that her weekend hobby was much more than just that, leading her to ditch the doctor’s offices and take on UV full time. As UV’s business continued its path of exponential growth, Echeverry opened a 4,600-square-foot brick and mortar boutique in 2008. This storefront location has stood as an iconic destination on the historic vintage row of Magnolia Boulevard in downtown Burbank since. In August 2015, Unique Vintage unveiled its first major renovation since its initial opening. Despite having several opportunities to move her business out of her hometown, Echeverry has remained committed to maintaining her local roots for the company. She cares deeply about the city of Burbank and prioritizes the store’s contribution to Magnolia Park. Since those early days, Unique Vintage has continued to grow, launching its very own Unique Vintage brand label to better serve the needs of the UV girl, while continuing to carry the retro-inspired labels that helped to put UV on the map. Building on the Unique Vintage label, UV has also launched exclusive collaborations with Barbie, Pantone, Coca-Cola, Universal Monster and more.

It's such a joke that they hide behind…

It's such a joke that they hide behind their "Final Sale" branding and don't allow same-price exchanges.

Like you can hide behind "But the fine print says" all you want but that's so obnoxious.

Read the fine print carefully and make sure that their inconsistent sizes are exactly right otherwise your out of money.

Great Customer Service

I had ordered a dress during a really great promotion. When the dress arrived, it was too small, (this was my own fault as I hadn't read through enough info/reviews which said to order up) so I reached out to inquire about a return for the correct size. Unique Vintage replied quickly and helped me arrange everything I needed, and did so in the timeline required. I was able to reorder the correct size dress at the promotion price I had originally purchased (that promo was over but the happily set up a code for it to be honoured), and when they received the smaller dress I had sent back, a refund was promptly issued to me. I was very impressed with how easy their process was especially as it was an international return. I was also very impressed friendly and helpful their customer service agent was (Alexis was just the BEST!) I will definitely continue to do business with UV!

I will definitely be ordering again!

I ordered a dress for my cousins wedding. After a bit of time I wasn't seeing and shipping updates. I reached out to customer service and they told me it would be delivered shortly. After a few days, Alexis from customer service, reached out to me because she took it upon herself to double check and make sure I was going to receive my dress. She contacted me and told me she had found out it was lost during the shipping process. She didn't leave it there. She made sure I got my dress. She shipped another one to me and I got it quickly. The dress is fabulous quality. I didn't know what to expect because I had never ordered from them before. It is well made and more beautiful than the picture. I got so many compliments on it- even from the bride. I will be recommending them always.

2 MONTHS TO COMPLETE EXCHANGE

Sent in two dresses to exchange. Never heard back on anything after that. Reached out 2 months later and they just asked if I still wanted to exchange. What this tells me is they do not track shipment and returns or do not have any CRM tools in places to handle this kind of business. I would have been out $100 if I didn't proactively reach out. 2 MONTHS FOR AN EXCHANGE!?!?!?1?

Do not count on getting your products…

Do not count on getting your products in a timely manner. They use UPS Mail Innovations… which can take weeks. Look up UPS Mail Innovations, you’ll see hundreds of people complaining about slow shipping, no tracking, and lost packages. It’s been 3 weeks and my package is still sitting at a USPS facility states away.

WARNING! BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE

WARNING!! Terrible customer service, sent me shoes that don’t fit and refuse to provide a refund or credit so I can return these $100 boots that I can’t even wear even after acting like they would let me send back. They are a trash company who clearly doesn’t care about their customer, do not shop here!!

Unfortunately their customer service is horrendous. It said they would be back to you in 48. I had to message again because they weren’t. Somehow they changed a piece I ordered in medium to an extra small. They refused to get it fixed before sending it out. They said the package had already sent. It hadn’t

Beware - the prices are not correct in non-US currencies

Over two months ago, I alerted Unique Vintage to the fact that the prices on their site weren't matched up properly (site set to NZ currency).
A $68 garment on the front page, actually is listed in the product page (and goes into the shopping cart) at $135
They said it was an issue with their currency settings and would fix it. I have just checked and it has not been fixed.
This is effectively false advertising, and I will not be purchasing anything more from them.

I would so love to give a glowing review! I LOVE the style of UV, and the photos of the fashions have incredible flare!
My issue is QUALITY, which is sorely lacking! I would gladly pay a bit more for higher quality fabrics and more careful stitching. I find the Unique Vintage clothing to really just barely be “costume quality” for a high school play - Not something I can wear as day to day clothing, which is what I was hoping for.

I never received my order

I never received my order. According to these scammers my order shipped twice but I never got any of it. I've asked numerous times for a refund and although they have promised it multiple times, I still haven't gotten that either. Save your money and shop elsewhere. Google this company and you'll see how common this is! Don't make the same mistake as me

Quality Has Dwindled

Unique Vintage has a wide variety of clothes for all kinds of bodies. They have significantly increased their prices while lowering the quality recently, unfortunately. Their customer service is hit or miss; I got an email from someone today and she definitely had an attitude. I have been a loyal customer for several years and am on the highest reward tier… They should treat their customers better. I also have an issue with them only giving you rewards for reviews when they’re 5/5 stars. That leads to untruthful reviews.

Plus size selection, quality varies

They have a really amazing selection of clothing items based on various decades, and they cater to plus sizing. But the quality is all over the place. I've gotten cheap looking see-through dresses, jeans that were more like cheap jeggings, dresses that feel like a plastic parachute, etc. When they're great, they're great! I have some amazing pieces from their Dress of the Month subscription. But when they're bad they're really bad.
I've had no issue with their custo mer service, though. They missed sending one of me DotM dresses once, I told them and they sent me two the next month. Unfortunately they were the exact same dress, but they let me send the duplicate back for a refund and no shipping fee.
Their shipping fees seem a bit high (and there's a shipping fee on returns), and it's frustrating that reward points won't stack with sales.

Said delivered, it was not

Ordered a bunch of what looked like really cute clothing that I planned to wear to various events. Super excited when I saw the tracking stating it was delivered. No delivery was made. Waited a couple of days as sometimes tracking is wrong. Been two weeks and no delivery. They did fully refund me after a few emails and my credit card company assisting me. Needless to say, I will not be purchasing from them again despite how cute the items look.

I'm in love since 2005

I've been buying Unique Vintage since the year 2005 and I cannot express how happy I am with my experiences. The Burbank store or the online store is not only inclusive and has accommodated me with all my body ups and downs but is also ran by very kind ladies that made me feel welcomed and assisted. The online store is like crack to me it has all the prints, fabrics and sized you can imagine to live your best fantasy life. The brand makes me very happy and I hope they will stay for many more years. Thank you Unique Vintage for being you <3

Excellent Customer Service

I recently hadn't a mishap where I sent my wedding shoes to unique vintage as a return instead of my actual return. I was so scared I was going to lose them and had a complete meltdown, but Alexis from unique vintage was completely calm and helped me through the whole process. She sent back my shoes in just a couple of days and the crisis was averted. I've shopped with unique vintage for the past couple years and I will continue to do so. Thank you so so much Alexis.

Cheaply made, not returnable

Ordered a dress and it was cheaply made. Really thin material. Reminds me of a Halloween costume. Can see underwear through. I will not be wearing it. It is a cute style though. They would not let me return it even though I haven’t worn it. Was a waste of $. Save your $ and don’t shop with them.
