It’s A Wrap

Love this place for high-​quality basics at incredible prices — Alexander Wang knits, Theory blazers, James Perse sweaters, Helmut Lang tanks, and on and on. Many items still have tags on them, and others are lightly used. Very much the thrift store experience where the selection varies day by day and you have to really hunt, but if that’s your cup of tea, you’ll have a great time.

I love and miss this place since I moved!
The key is to take your time, as you have to scroll through everything to find gems.
I’m a size 4 and I’ve bought here a pair of Marc Jacobs dress pants for $ 20, same thing for a M. Jacobs top, 2 J Brand jeans for less than $ 20 each. Also one funky panther dress with a design from the 50’s for Halloween for less than $ 10. A pencil skirt by Anne Taylor for $ 7.
Most of the bands though are common like Gap, J Crew, H&M, etc.
As they have their clothes from shows and movies, pieces have not worn a lot and a usually in a very good shape.
They have sometimes wedding dresses too.
There are some changing rooms, which make a huge difference.

Like finding deals on great clothes here. Shop randomly and still get lucky. Know you have to search through everything to find the good stuff but worth it when you do.
Join email to learn about sales — they really make the deals count.

No discounts to be found here. Not even unique pieces. Just season old clothes at retail prices.

I shop here a few times a year. Their normal prices are meh, but when you can catch a holiday sale with additional dollars off, you can find some real bargains. Don’t expect to get something from a major movie or show — a lot of it is just listed by the studio it came from. And plan on buying same-​day. I’m not sure why people expect them to hold things at-​sale-​price, but I’ve seen several customers try it. Expect to spend a lot of time trying on clothing, as they carry a variety of brands, and it seems like every one cuts a standard size a different way. That way you don’t have to worry about their no-​return policy, because you’ll already know whether it fits!

It’s a small store, I’ll wouldn’t call the prices «thrifty», but I am out of touch with how much these articles of clothing would be retail. Ho-​hum, nothing exciting or glamorous. I won’t be back.

I love designer. I love designer resale. I have had some great finds from this place. But beware, if you see something, buy it NOW!, it will not last. Inventory moves very quickly here. The quality of clothes is usually great! My only complaint is that sometimes it is not very high end. I guess I look for things like full suits at these stores. Not so much here. More like flashy designer glitter dresses and entertainment-​y clothing. Makes sense, this is an outlet for entertainment clothes.
If you want that look … This is your spot! Only one warning and since the star off– know your brands. I have caught the occasional dress that looked nice but when I researched the brand the price was NOT a bargain. You can get cheaper at Nordstroms Rack new.
On the flip side, there are also some great deals here. Know your market, and, if in doubt, google is your best friend.

Clothing is great, service is awful. Came on a Saturday afternoon and the woman working was rude and unhelpful which discouraged me from buying anything.

Went here looking for a Halloween costume for my baby daughter 2 days before Halloween. The costumes were 75% off and we found 2 for her. Very happy with the prices and selection.

I’m updating my previous review, not to say that the store has improved. in fact, things have only gotten worse. seriously, why would anyone pay twice the cost of a forever 21 shirt, used! is it simply because it may not have appeared on an episode of some stupid TV show and didn’t even last an entire season?

I love that you can buy clothes that were worn in your favorite TV shows. Even if you’re not looking to buy, it’s fun just to see what television shows and movies the thing were in.
I used to go here with my friend Oscar. He was my first lover and really taught me the ins and outs of the the fashion world. I don’t know why I cheated on him. It’s a moment of weakness I’ve regretted ever since. He left me and now buying clothes feels empty. He’s moved on; has a wife, 4 kids & a dog. I have my cardigans from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Sometimes they run really great sales where you can find amazing deals!

I am writing to give a review of the management here in the West LA location.
I had an interview with Arlette Reynoso on July 11^th at 10:30 AM & she was understanding that I came in at 11:00 AM. That was the first great sign right there! She is the most wonderful human being I have come across in a long time and she was kind in recommending me to the next step, where I had an interview scheduled in Burbank Wednesday, July 15^th at 12:00 noon.
I give my review a 5 STARS due to the sweetness, graciousness, kindness, & downright awesomeness from the Store Manager, Arlette, who was SUPER APPRECIATIVE in my interview for a position here with It’s A Wrap. I would have LOVED to be her employee…
I would have been ECSTATIC to be a cashier under Arlette’s management, but during my interview in Burbank, the interviewer noted my vast experience & knowledge with all fashion designers, known & unknown. I have all these people skills, customer service skills, and definitely retail experience that would have helped me work here. I was open to being a Cashier or a Merchandiser, anything, and was NOT even concerned about how much money I made in a former industry.
This RATING is ONLY for the West LA MANAGER, Arlette. She is a joy to be around & I feel like she understands me as a person and values me. She asked me if I had any availability restrictions, I told her my birthday is July 24^th, but I am available to work.
I will write a separate review about the experience I had with my interview in Burbank, which I thought went well, but apparently did not… I kindly left a VM last Friday~no return call~then I did a casual professional e-​mail on Monday~no response~Then finally, I left the Store Owner in Burbank a kind VM yesterday, a week after the 2^nd interview that supposedly went well, and NOTHING, not even a peep or reply back. The interviewer knows of my other qualifications, which I did not need to share (yes, I have a Bachelor’s degree & a law degree) which make me appear «overqualified», but I was trying to be humble and saying that clothing is my passion and I would LOVE the opportunity to work for It’s A Wrap. Now… I DON’T THINK SO. The interviewer even asked me about my availability, we discussed things that one would think is good for when one is about to be hired such as probation, schedule, availability, etc. Words CANNOT EXPRESS MY DISBELIEF AT NOT EVEN GETTING A DECENT REPLY BACK.
To make a long story short, I had informed my interviewer there that I was a LOYAL shopper at the Burbank location; most of my wardrobe around 85%-90% comes from there and after my hour and a half interview, I thought I would be given an opportunity to be part of the It’s A Wrap company, in either the West LA or Burbank location.
To this date, the interviewer or the owner has NOT contacted me. The interviewer stated they would call me that same evening or the following day, but now it is well over a week & not even a courtesy call.
I WILL NOT PATRONIZE THEIR STORE ANYMORE, UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO THIS HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE-​AND MIND YOU I AM ONE OF THOSE DIE HARD LOYAL CUSTOMERS.
I WILL WRITE A SEPARATE REVIEW DESCRIBING MY EXACT EXPERIENCE AT THE BURBANK LOCATION BUT I FINALLY REALIZE THAT THESE OTHER REVIEWERS WERE RIGHT: MAYBE THE MANAGEMENT IS JUST VERY OFF.

Let me tell you of my atrocious experiences at this store AND from its team of management that are in charge of running it.
Shopped here many times when in need of random costume or theme events… EVERY run in with one of their «managers» just reminds you of how much you hate shopping here! Most recently I came shopping pulled in by one of their «sales». They have a NO RETURNS policy so you HAVE to get it right. SO I selected three items to put on hold, went home to coordinate with friends and then came back the next day to purchase. Low and behold their sale changed WITHOUT notice (without telling me the evening before) and when I came back AT opening hours the next day they REFUSED to offer or extend their sale from the previous day! They don’t even let their employees know the sale is ending the following day SO AS TO possibly Warn customers of this potential situation!
I was SUPER polite when explaining my situation and I spoke to both Arlet (the manager at the Robertson store) and Patrick (at the Butbank store) — both would not even acknowledge the egregious customer service! I recognize that you both obviously aren’t smart business people, (read some books and do your research on business).
@Patrick — you are a remarkably condescending prick and I’m shocked that you are heading up any sort of business that involves people!
Would give the management team 0 stars, store 2 stars, prices 2 stars (really high for similar stores), and 3 for cleanliness.

I’ve been shopping at It’s A Wrap (Burbank) since 2003, and when this one opened in 2006, I’ve been shopping there also. I visit both locations about two or three times a month, each. Every time I go there’s no way to know what will happen. The term «hit or miss» was literally designed for this store. Sometimes I would’ve been better hanging out at the Starbucks next door; other times I come away with an armload of stuff I can’t carry comfortably for under $ 20.
I’m a bargain hunter and rarely do I pay more than $ 7 for something. Since I am there so often I am able to discern what the sharpie marker colored markdowns mean on the price tags, and I am able to decide if it’s time to leave it on the rack or pull the trigger on bringing something home with me.
Most of the time I’m not haunted by my decisions, but sometimes I am. What this place needs is a big table area for customers to set out their possible purchases and examine them for flaws. Like most reviewers have noted, they do not allow for returns. So if I miss the fact that a sweater has a one-​foot gash in the arm (and somehow I actually missed this), or that a pair of pants has a «sun» stain along one seam, thus changing its color, and I take it home that way? Well, it’s mine, and I have to write it off as «flawed — donated» in my monthly clothing budget.
Since I’ve been going to these stores for years I don’t have an issue with staff in the way that others have described. Some people haven’t been the nicest to me over the years but they’re all gone now. The staff tries to move people through the lines as quickly, efficiently and politely as possible.
I’ve really found some amazing things here over the years that I wouldn’t part with for anything. And it doesn’t hurt that you can match an item up with the tv show/​movie that it’s from sometimes, so that every time you watch a Jason Bourne movie you can say «I own that tie» and mean it.
Sometimes I only have twenty minutes before they close; other times I show up in the morning and shop for three hours. Sometimes I come away with nothing; other times I find armloads of stuff in half an hour’s time.
You have to really know what you’re looking for. They do their best to keep things organized but customers move things around, so if you want to score the very best deals you will look through as many racks as you can and not rely on what’s supposed to be there — things show up in magical places all the time.
This is the kind of place to shop for gifts for people. No matter what your best friend’s favorite movie or TV show is – chances are that clothes from it will appear in this store for an affordable price. You would do well to read the signs around the store, give yourself enough time, and really, really be prepared to sort through a lot of stuff you don’t want to find a gem that you do.

I am a little obsessed with TV fashion, so this place is like a dream to me. I spent about $ 500 my first time in and couldn’t be happier with my purchases! It was so fun to find a dress I actually remembered seeing from a show (Manhattan Love Story) and absolutely exhilerating to try it on, have it fit perfectly, and then own it! Most of my purchases were about 50% retail which some may not find to be a bargain for worn clothing, but when you think about how it was most likely only worn once, I consider it a deal. My only complaint is that the sheet they have hanging around the store that tells you what TV Show /​Movie the codes match up to is missing a lot. I had to ask the cashier for over half of my items and he looked him up for me. To his credit, he did not seem to mind doing so. I will definitely be back as soon as I have some extra money to burn!

Best place to go in la for Halloween costumes. The have really good sales, especially the day of halloween with many unique items. It definitely takes some digging time though and you may have to visit other places for additional pieces.
Regular times this place is good. They have many items from shows and movies. My only problem is I feel it can be a little over priced.

I LOVE this thrift shop, but it’s not very thrifty.
Yes, you’re not paying full price but for thrift stores that assume they can get 90% back on what they purchased the clothing for isn’t very cool in my book. The stuff they carry is TOP NOTCH, so expect to pay close to retail, OR if you’re willing to dig, and I mean spend at least an hour or two, then you’ll find some awesome treasures because this place has that too.
WARNING: NO RETURNS OR EXCHANGES (so you better have the right size because there are no exceptions.)

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!
To any regular do-​gooder, this place seems like your average thrift shop. But think again! It’s actually a thrift-​esque shop that sells clothing and accessories that were used on set, or at least on set, of your favorite television shows!
The selection is awesome and the variety of shows featured in the store is breathtaking. It’s fun to go through all their stuff trying to find shirts and things from your favorite TV shows.
Stop by next time you’re in the area, it’s a really fun treat.

Finally, I made it down to the LA location of It’s a Wrap.
Being Obsessed with the Burbank location I had to see if this one is just as good.
I was not dissapointed. It’s a big fuller and messier here, both inside and out.
It seems more picked over, at first glance I thought there was nothing to be had.
Closer look and a while in the dressing room later, I walked out with 4 dresses
(Diane von Fuerstenberg, Black Halo, Collective Concepts and PRADA!!!) and a shirt by Trina Turk all for $ 100!!!
The Prada was first marked at $ 700 and I guess been there awhile so marked down to $ 200, everything an additional 75% off as well.
No rips of stains, though alot of the clothing has labels from the production company.
(Bought Dresses for «Jessica» and «Eva») or WB barcodes sewn in, the Prada was worn on Private Practice and had a dry cleaning slip attached from Celebrity cleaners.
All neat little additions, mixed with prices you will find NOWHERE else, not on Ebay, Loehmanns, TJ’s or and other vintage boutiqes.
Yes, its not set up as nice as Decades or other high end boutiques, but paying about $ 20 for $ 400 dresses i don’t care how the store looks.
I’ll be back every chance I get.

I was in desperate need to update my wardrobe without having to spend a bunch of money. Although I’ve shopped here a few times, I never really had a brag-​able find… until now!
I’ve been job searching forever now. Ok, more like 22 months but it feels like forever. I’m starting to think that my interviewing outfits are bad luck. The hardest thing for me to shop for are pants that fit well. Chances are slimmer at a thrift store. Yet, I found the perfect pair of office-​chic brown pants. Guess what? Perfect fit! It even had the original store tag on it (retail $ 80) so there’s a possibility it was never used. Not bad for $ 22!
All of the clothes sold here are from the wardrobe departments of movie sets and tv shows. It’s kinda cool to think about what projects these clothes have been a part of and which celebrities may have worn them. My new «job searching pants» had a tag on it that said «FLT» which is the code for the production it was in. I totally forgot to look up the code while I was in the store. But I’m hoping it was worn by someone who has good energy, good luck, and awesome experiences in their career.
Job search clothes aside, I had no intention to buy shoes. Yet, I took a quick gander at the shoe rack only to spot the most beautiful pair of Nine West purple (my fav color) heels that I swear was meant for me to have because they were in my size!!! They were in great condition and looked practically brand new — even the soles. It was marked at $ 25 but since it had a «summer» tag on it, I got them for 50% off! That’s a thrift store find that I’m happy to brag about ;)
See? Aren’t they pretty???
