I recently had a disappointing experience at Malin Landaeus, a vintage store in Williamsburg. I purchased a corset at a very high price, but unfortunately, it did not fit properly. After discussing the necessary alterations with the staff, I felt optimistic about resolving the issue. However, the day after my purchase, I returned to the store after consulting with a tailor who informed me that the necessary alterations couldn't be made. To my dismay, the store refused to issue a refund. Instead, they offered me store credit valid for a year. As a tourist, this option did not help me at all, as I wouldn’t be able to return to the store within that time frame. This experience was frustrating and left me feeling undervalued as a customer. I expected better service and understanding, especially considering the circumstances surrounding the purchase. I hope this review encourages better customer service practices...

Love it here, such a fan girl! Price point is high but love supporting such a well curated and high...

I feel like a lot of vintage stores I’ve been to have the opposite approach, like they really don’t want you touching the clothes. I felt encouraged to try on the dresses I liked and they even made incredible suggestions (one of the suggestions being my wedding dress!). The clothes are amazing, the staff is amazing, and my future wedding dress...
