One of a Kind reviews
The shop has lots of goodies, but I do believe it is unreasonably priced, especially given the terrible way in which they care for their merchandise (it looks like it's been thrown around, inch-thick with dust and unloved).

Some of the best vintage pieces that I have ever had the pleasure to lay eyes on come from this enchanting store. I felt the magic as soon as I walked through the door. The staff were very professional, albeit down to earth. I ended up buying a couple of 'gems' that I will treasure forever! I'll be back!!

I just had a look, and most of the clothes were great - excellent pieces, listed according to the decade they belong. However, the prices were extremely high. Maybe after a long search you can find something worth buying. But I think they have just taken advantage of the shop's fame and celebrity customers. I'm sure equally good clothes could be found for a much more reasonable price. I'll visit again when I'm rich and famous!

Super cool shop, super cool staff. Felt so welcome. I was out window shopping but ended up buying a vintage Louis Vuitton bag. Awesome! Great discovery.

I cannot begin to tell you how much fun my mother and I had in the secret room at the rear of the shop. Felt as though we'd died and gone to heaven, floating amidst a sea of magical, jaw-dropping, heart-stopping pieces! I bought a 1950s dress which looked like it had been created by fairies. Can't wait to go back!

This is one of the worst vintage shops around in London. Great names to choose from but very overpriced. You are better off going to Brick Lane and finding REAL bargains.
As for the staff, I found one of them the rudest I have ever come across. He must have forgotten the fact that just because he has been pictured with the stars, it doesn't make him one!

Eackley, you sound a tad jealous. Trying your best to put down good people who seem to be doing very well for themselves. I'm surprised you bought anything with such a nasty attitude. Stick to your New York thrift shops and leave One of a Kind to the cool individuals it attracts.

I love this shop and I dare say that I'm addicted to it. I pop in whenever I'm in the area. This is one shop I really feel so welcome in. So glad I discovered it. The 'creme de la creme' of vintage!

I do have to say I got the most fab vintage Chanel bag, but the prices were a bit ridiculous and, sadly, the staff a tad pretentious. Can find way better vintage where I'm from (Up-State New York).

I have never known a vintage shop to carry so many stunning pieces. Everywhere you look you find another gem. Normally in most vintage shops you have to sift through a lot of rubbish to find one or two decent pieces. Not in here! I was particularly impressed by the quality and condition of the clothes. I bought a stunning Pucci dress and a to-die-for Chanel bag. I will be back for more. Lovin' the staff too.

Fantastic vintage shop! The staff are very attentive and know a lot about each piece in the shop. Very expensive but if you book in advance you can go into the VIP shop where they hide the really special pieces. Will definitely be back!

I loved this shop, it's absolutely amazing! The amount of great pieces were just unbelievable. Price range is reasonable. If money was no object I would live in this place. I think my luck is about to change, so hopefully there'll see more of me!

This shop is out of this world. Too many nice things to choose from. The staff are a right laugh and so down-to-earth. I find that most vintage stores have a lot of rubbish to sift through. Not this one! It's full of gems. I wish I had more money to spend there.

I was ushered into the secret room and nearly fainted with excitement. My heart was literally racing and I did not know where to look first! I ended up buying 3 dresses, including a to-die-for Ossie Clark piece and a stunning pair of unworn Bella Freud shoes which were samples. I cannot begin to tell you how many compliments I receive for my One of a Kind pieces. Best vintage shop in the world.

I went in and was greeted by friendly staff, but was disappointed when I looked through the clothes. The quality of the clothes wasn't there for the prices they were charging. If you are going to charge £350 for a dress, the clothing needs to be well presented and respected. The fact that all the clothing was packed together on the rails and creased up made me not want to pay the price. And as for the shoe collection, there was a lot of it but none was in good condition. I'm sure you could find one-off good buys, but I didn't bother looking for too long.
