Varga

First off, I love their clothing. I am completely obsessed with the retro look. Varga has a great selection and updates their inventory often. I came in looking for clothing items for a Marilyn Monroe photoshoot I was doing. Upon arriving, I was greeted with a kind welcome and they offered their assistance. The associate offered suggestions and was super helpful and friendly.
The reason I did not give them 5 stars is because of their accessories. I loved the look of their sunglasses. I bought a pair and by the time I arrived at my house they were broken. I went back and told them that somehow they broke in the bag and they were generous enough to exchange me a second pair. Two weeks later, I was going on a walk with some friends and somehow the second pair broke on my face. Again, I loved the look so I bought a third pair. A week later as I was driving, the sunglasses broke again. So after three pairs, I can say that the quality is not great at all. So save yourself the hassle and stick to their adorable clothes!

I was shopping at the Fox Hills mall searching for basic clothing for my upcoming Vegas trip when I was walking by Varga then immediately reversed a few steps after admiring their clothes in the window. I’m seriously not joking, I did a double take and realized it’s the same clothing store I used to LOVE at Westside Pavillion.
I walked in and normally I don’t like people helping me pick out outfits so I picked a few things and tried them on. When I came out of the changing room to check myself out in the main mirror, immediately one of the sales reps was like «Have Mercy!». She quickly fixed me up and paired me with appropriate and I mean CUTE clothing that looked ten times better than my ol’ secretary boho chic look because let’s face it, I really don’t know what I’m doing.
Long story short, the sales ladies not only have a great sense of style, they KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT! LADIES, LET THEM DRESS YOU! It’s so worth it. I adore every item purchased and I can’t wait to go back and get more!!! I tell ALL MY FRIENDS to come! It’s comfortable, chic, and affordable! No place like it!

Amazing, cute, good quality clothes for very reasonable prices! Well worth it! The service was beyond expectation and my daughters found a new favorite clothing store. This is only my 3^rd Unilocal review in at least as many years. I must be either extremely impressed/​grateful or visa versa to take the time. Well deserved 5 stars!

My favorite store in this mall is by far Varga! Adorable office, casual and date night clothing.
There is always something new at an incredibly reasonable price when I come in. I’m addicted to the décor and it’s a small business, yay !

I cannot get all of the clothes I saw last night out of my head. If left to my own devices I probably would have bought a whole wardrobe!!! The main point is how stylish and original their clothing is. The looks are trendy versions on classic lady like looks and the atmosphere is to die for. The chandeliers are a very good touch. I went in and picked out a corset that fit great and a two piece outfit, skirt and shirt that made me feel amazing wearing it. The improvement they can make is with their customer service. No one helped me really. Considering the above gushing, I would have been an easy up sell if the sales girl even made mere suggestions. She didn’t even acknowledge me. It seemed like she was busy with her friends. Also, her friends brought in very strong smelling food that didn’t go with the vibe of the boutique and its odors generally offended my sensibilities. This is a great brand though and definitely worth walking into!

don’t ask me WTF i was doing in this part of town butttt some of my frenz work in this neighborhood so i drove out to meet them & check out the remodeled mall and restaurants around it… and i came into this cute little boutique cuz the décor was what drew me in initially! i like their retro/​betty page/​pin-​up kinda style clothes and everyone here is really nice buttttt i thought it was too expensive for what it was??? a pair of skimpy shorts were like $ 35 (before taxes) — i didn’t kno i’d have to be paying abercrombie prices for shorts from a store in the mall??? if i wanted to pay nearly $ 40 for shorts, i’d rather wait for sale at barney’s!

The experience that they provide here at Varga is something that every small boutique should aspire to service.
My boyfriend and I came in looking for a dress for one of the nights of a birthday weekend that he was treating me to. Andrea and Cassandra were working, and both extremely friendly, offering any sort of help that they could. Looking through the store, I grabbed a couple of dresses to put on. One in particular caught my eye, but they only had it in a large. I asked Andrea if they had the dress in a smaller size, and she told me that they didn’t, but they did have one on a mannequin at the front of the store. She checked it, saw that it was a medium, immediately ripped it off of the plastic girl and handed it to me. Andrea then escorted us to the dressing rooms and promptly asked what shoe size I was. As I was trying the first dress on, she brought in a pair of adorable black pumps that went perfectly with all three dresses that I was trying. The first dress I tried (the one taken from the mannequin), I immediately fell in love with and knew that it was the one; however, I still tried on the other two just to see what my options were. Even though I did really enjoy both of the others, they did not provide the same class that the Sophisticated Woman dress gave (a very aptly named dress, if you ask me!). The dress itself was beautiful, but I was shocked to find that the medium was a little big for me. Once I communicated that to Andrea, she explained that even though they did not have a smaller size in the store, I could buy it online and have it be delivered to the store within the next few days. Knowing that, we knew that the dress was perfect. Andrea even took our order right there in the store, so we didn’t have to do it when we got back home. At the very last second, we also decided to buy a pair of shoes to match and again, Andrea was more than willing to help out with that as well, offering advice on the the color and style of the shoe to go perfectly with the dress.
Within the next two days, I got a call from Andrea telling me that my dress came in and that it would be waiting for me at the shop whenever I was ready to come and pick it up!
When I came back into the shop Andrea was not there, but her note on the bag they packed my dress into made my heart warm. «Bday Dress Prepaid –Called, picking up this week XO». I was convinced then that I had to write a review on Unilocal,but then I came in a few days later, wanting one of the other dresses that I had tried that original day.
Cassandra greeted me with the same friendly warmth that she had the week before. I told her that I was looking for the Bicycle Marilyn dress, and she immediately complimented me on how I looked in that dress, remembering that I had tried it on the week before. She quickly grabbed a small for me, rang me up, and had me even more in love with the store than I already was.
The very next day I was wearing the Marilyn dress for the start of my birthday weekend, and before we did anything my boyfriend needed to go to Target. Passing by, I saw that Cassandra was working again, so I made it a point to stop in and show off the amazing dress she had helped me out with. Cassandra was beaming looking at the both of us and complimenting, not only me, but how «dapper» my boyfriend looked. She then asked to take a picture of me in the dress to share with Andrea. Thanking her up and down, my boyfriend and I left with an even bigger smile on our faces than when we entered and it just made the weekend that much more special.
To summarize my lengthy story: The associates here work above and beyond to be as helpful and kind as they can. I have never been so satisfied by a clothing store. These girls know what they are doing with style and will help you with sincerity and genuine kindness. Thank you so much Andrea and Cassandra! I will most definitely see you soon.

I had the most positive experience shopping today at Varga. I went in with no idea what I wanted to buy. Andrea solved that problem. She picked out outfits I never thought of trying on. I ended up buying it all!!! Not only did Andrea make me feel important, she helped me find clothes that I loved, but most importantly she made me feel beautiful. She showed me how to wear items I bought to mix and match! Thank you. I will most definitely be returning to Varga!

By far the best vintage clothing store ever! I feel right at home, all staff members are always so friendly and ready to help! Varga, you have a devoted customer in your hands!

Love this store. I always find something I need and Joanna is very helpful. From a simple welcome to help picking out outfits

This is hands down the best store in ALL OF Los Angeles! My 16 year old daughter absolutely loves it and always finds cute dresses here.
As a Mom, I have to say that this is great … considering I have a 16 year old daughter who has her created her own style!
MOSTLY I want to say how much we both love Andrea! WE LOVE YOU SO! There is never a time that you are not the most precious loving person!
There is no one better and we just love this store!
YOU GOTTA GO!

Such cute clothes! I bought some shorts and a dress from them. I went to a party in the dress and everyone thought it was adorable.
All their stuff is very unique and fun — and made in the USA!
Concerning sizing, I’m a size 8 and I fit perfectly into a medium for the shorts and dress.
When I save up enough for some more shopping, I’ll be back!

They have really cute stuff here, but I don’t think I’ll be buying from them. And trust me, it’s not because I didn’t try!
I wanted to buy a cute dress (they had a whole rack of them with different colors), and as I was browsing through them, I noticed that they only came in XS, S and M. (Most of them being XS and S). I tried them on, and found that they were much too small for me (I’m 5’1″ and 120 lbs — I generally fit into a small or medium). When I asked if they had any larger sizes, they didn’t.
The sizes are definitely off — unless you’re stick thin, you probably won’t fit into most of their stuff. They’re really friendly about it, but it sort of leaves a bad taste in your mouth when you think about what kind of message this sends to people. Kind of size-​ist.

I train companies on customer service– and commonly ask «What is a buying experience you had that embodies amazing customer service?». My answer to this discussion, is now «Varga».
I visited first the Culver City store after strolling through the mall for my first time, to see adorable dresses in the classic 40’s/50’s style that I adore but haven’t bought.
I was immedately greeted by a friendly, but not pushy sales rep, who really offered some insightful pairing ideas to match some jeans I liked, that fit my body shape. Um, in LA, I was expecting a bill for that advice. Haha!
After trying on said pair of jeans, I was hoping for a slightly longer inseam so I asked for a size up, which that location did not have.
This is where it got even more amazing:
«I unfortunately don’t have any here, but, the closest location is only 5 miles away and has a pair in your size that I have put on hold for the next 24 hours. I already called and told them to follow up with you that they have it and who to ask for»
WHAT?! You are two steps ahead of me? Aww. Even better: I disregarded the notion of actually receiving that follow up call. How often does one hear that but actually receive the follow up call? I was proven wrong. About an hour after leaving the store with two new items that were on the half off rack (The prices are already just right for my budget given the quality and unique style), I did in fact receive a call.
A helpful rep from the El Segundo location offered her name, the number there, the hours, and confirmed she is holding the item for me and if I need it on hold longer, to call her and give her a heads up.
This is what makes buying a pair of jeans, or a coffee, or anything considered a simple retail item, memorable, friends. The experience– that lasting encounter to just blow someone’s mind when they are least expecting it.
I just wish I had a sixth star. My closet is slowly converting into all Varga clothing, and I am perfectly okay with that– and the mind blowing service I receive each and every time.
Keep it going, girls.

Amazing customer service in this store! My friend and I found a lot of really cute items in the store for a really great price! The staff working was incredibly helpful and not pushy at all. There is a lot to choose from in the store and they gave us options we hadn’t even noticed.
We do not live near this store, but I would make the drive across LA to go to this store again. Great job to all in this location for making us forever fans of the store!

This is officially my new favorite store in Culver City! I had seen it before when I was at the mall but never had the time to go inside and check it out. Wish I would have sooner.
The store itself is just as cute as the clothes they sell. I love the fun and flirty design. I even considered asking if I could buy one of the vanity boxes that was put up as decoration because the print was so cute! I asked one of the salespersons about their décor and she said everything in the store is either vintage or was found at common stores like Target or Bed Bath & Beyond.
The service was great. I was kindly greeted upon entering the store and then approached a few minutes later asking if I needed any help finding something. The sales girl was so nice and when we checked me out was very friendly and seemed genuinely interested in our conversation rather than just going through the motions or just being polite because they have to. The store is primarily vintage clothing but all of the clothes look like something I can see women wearing today. They have everything from dresses, skirts, and tops to undergarments and accessories. Varga has a lot of unique pieces that I’ve never seen anywhere else.
The clothes are a little pricey (the skirt and dress I bought were about $ 40 – 60), definitely much cheaper than the F21 a few stores down. But they are that much more unique and CUTE. Plus the quality of their clothes is also good. I went into Forever21 after and didn’t end up buying anything because the quality just wasn’t the same.
I normally don’t sign up for loyalty cards for clothing stores but I immediately accepted when I was asked if I wanted to at this store. I love love love Varga!

I cannot go into this store without throwing down some serious cash. Their clothes are so cute and flattering! I’ve been to the Manhattan Beach and Santa Monica locations but think this store has the cutest selection of clothes. Everything you buy here will match with all of your previous purchases. If you see something you like, nab it before the size goes out of stock. Plus their infinity belt works absolute wonders to any outfit.
Go full pin-​up or go home!

Cute boutique with a vintage/​antique-​ish vibe, with the things they sell here, and the store’s decorations as well. Definitely a special/​unique store.
I used to go to their other store every time I was at the Westside Pavilion Mall on Pico. That Varga store is no longer there at that mall. But I am glad to see they opened one up in Culver City though.
