Collectible Glitz-Miss La De Da’s

I’ve been to this place twice and find that’s it’s highly overrated. Yes, there are a select few pieces that are actually worth their price tag but some items were waaaay overpriced.
For example I saw a Bebe-​brand leatherish necklace from the 90s — completely costume, and only in used/​fair condition) priced at $ 40. Go to the Goodwill. You’ll find a similar item there for $ 2.99. And that’s just one example.

LOVE, LOVE LOVE this store! I would shop here before going to look for jewelry in any shop, mall or resale! Great selection and arranged so wonderfully! The owner & staff are so amazing! I went to find jewelry as the mother of the bride. I described my dress & showed pics, the staff took over an hour with me till we found the perfect fit. I left and came back with my dress to try it on and be sure! They even changed the clip earrings to pierced at minimal cost. I got rave reviews for the set on the big day! No one had anything like this exquisite, one of a kind, vintage necklace set. I was so impressed that I brought the bride and her bridal party back to shop. The bride, my daughter, took 5 sets home on loan for a day to be sure to get the one that was the right choice! We chose a wonderful vintage necklace & earrings that again were one of a kind! It was so wonderful that she wears it often to this day with many other outfits! She kept the jewelry, but gave her dress way! That speaks volumes! Also, I found a hat and flowers to decorate it while I was there also. I had an English party bridal shower and needed just the right hat! Again the staff was so helpful! This shop has many wonderful accessories and I always go here first when I need things! I have sent many other people here and they too have been amazed at the collection, the store, the arrangement and the wonderful staff! You have got to go just to feel like a queen for a day! I had a GREAT time every time I have stopped in, even if I don’t buy anything!

This collectible shop is truly a find as everyone says. The owner, Eleanor, is in the right business because she is a gem, the brightest in her store filled with fantastic finds. Love!

I love this store!
Prices are steep, especially for the more authentic pieces, but the staff is all about offering discounts on absolutely everything. That’s how I managed to snag some vintage 1890’s earrings for 25% less.
The shop is organized chaos. Jewelry is separated by color, but the offerings within each color group are multifold. There’s even a sales section in front!
The staff are the best part of my experiences here. They’re all sweet, knowledgeable women and easy to negotiate with. Candy and water bottles are always awaiting you. My very first time in the store (I was 14), I received a free necklace because I liked it so much but had no money with which to pay for it.
This is truly a gem of the Canoga Park antique and thrift scene. Highly recommended!

A visit to Miss La De Da’s rounds out what I define as a perfect day in the West Valley. The ORGANIZATION of all the pieces are perfectly INTUITIVE — most by color, but some by type (ex: dogs, crosses, elephants). I always come away with something NEW (read: vintage) or I put something on layaway for myself. But HOLIDAY SHOPPING is something very easy to start in the summer! And everyone I’ve ever dealt with there is perfectly patient and helpful and never pushy! They’ve also helped me with some fantastic/​creative repairs!

This place is awesome.
It’s wall to wall vintage jewelry… I mean, quite honestly, you wouldn’t believe some of the stuff you can find here. I am a vintage girl at that… I love the idea of wearing something vintage (jewelry… clothing no… but you get the idea) and you can find some of the best here.
Anywhoo…
I have a couple antique necklaces that I’ve gotten from here. This beautiful little mini cameo necklace my mom gave me several years ago… and a couple other pieces… which I only wear on special occasions.
The lady who owns the place is also really really nice and is knowledgeable about all the vintage jewelry which is a plus. :)
On a sad note, the little strip of Sherman Way used to be littered with vintage and antique stores. In the past couple years, several of them have closed… but this place is one of the few that still remains.

I love this store! It has a HUGE selection of vintage pieces, all arranged in a beautiful and organized display. The owner Eleanor is as much a gem as her glittering stock. She is friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. If you are looking for antique jewelry, this store is your best bet in Canoga Park — probably in the entirely of the West san Fernando Valley!

I adore this place. The selection is staggering (I’ve pretty much never even gotten to the stuff in the glass cases because I’ve usually found more jewelry than I can hope to choose from on the tables around the store!), the prices are great, and the owner is sweet. I’ve found about three pairs of gorgeous earrings here for under $ 5.00, and many more delights for under $ 25 – 30.
My only tip is to make sure to clean your jewelry well when you get home. Most if not all of the selection is used. So be ready with soapy water, rubbing alcohol, cotton swabs, gloves, and the like. The germophobe in me cringes, but I’m sure the pieces are fine after a good scrub.

As much as I’d love to afford some of the spectacular pieces in here, I’m so broke its not even funny. The help is always super, super sweet even though I’ve been in a dozen times and haven’t bought anything (yet). I bring friends here, who’ve bought things, so maybe they remember?
Always a warm welcome, offer of a bottle of water or some candy, a lively conversation and a proposed discount on whatever I’m in love with that day.
I can;t wait to come back this fall when I start a real paying job and can come in to buy something for myself and for the holidays :)

Based on these reviews I was expecting to be blown away with delight after making the schlep to Canoga Park. Instead I’m left a little cold because of my inflated expectations.
I barely got a greeting when I walked in. I quickly made a positive comment about the store — perhaps since it was obvious it was my first time there, I didn’t get very attentive service? Maybe it pays to be a regular. I wasn’t asked if I needed help or anything you’d expect from a small specialty shop.
Yes, it’s a massive inventory, mostly organized by color (although this was a little illogical in some cases). I felt the prices were high, even with a 30% discount — only on items over $ 10, by the way. A post-​discount $ 24 for a necklace whose finish is wearing off is steep to me. $ 60 will buy a nice piece, though I wonder how they’re able to compete with Ebay, Etsy, and the dozen thrift stores on the block. Maybe it’s time they did some editing to separate the wheat from the chaff, and mark down some of the less desirable merchandise.
If I’m in the neighborhood, I might go again if I was just browsing, but I wouldn’t go in with such high hopes. It was not a wasted trip, however — I was shopping for a friend’s birthday, and found just the right retro tchotchke at a junk store a few doors down.

This place is awesome and is seriously the place to buy some unique, inspired, and down right awesome vintage jewelry. I bought this awesome bracelet as a gift and it is breathtaking. This is not your «shower my jewelry in ridiculous amounts of shiny things’ place. It has fantastic vintage and costume style jewelry that only awesome people will love.

If I was a billionaire… I would buy up all the jewels in this store, seriously! There’s so many unique pieces to choose from! You wouldn’t feel like a Forever 21 clone if you purchased one of their pieces. The accessories are assorted by color and even era (duh, ’cause it’s vintage jewelry!). The shop keepers are very friendly as well. I don’t know any other way to describe this store, other than: a vintage store dedicated solely to accessories! This shop is definitely worth a visit. :)

The selection here is staggering, and the lady who runs it is so, so nice, and really helpful.
I think I need to go back and take a little more time checking things out. It’s all costume jewelry, but if you are into that kind of thing, she has a lot of cool pieces, and something for every era/​genre.
I really liked the Bakelite pieces. Very unique on the whole.

Thanks to Unilocal i just noticed this little gem! Having passed the street so many times i had no idea about this store and infact i am a vintage jewelry junky!
I love how the jewelry was arranged based on the colors. It makes you easier to find what you want. I found some stuff are pretty expensive but many are very reasonably priced. So you gotta really take your time and find what you want.
The owner is very friendly and attentive. She has cookies, candies, and offered me drink too! At that time i was looking for purple/​lavender vintage necklace and i couldn’t find one that really satisfied me. The owner then went to the back side of the store and came back with a pretty purple necklace!
At the end i was not just sight-​seeing and probably-​buying-​one-​piece-​of-​jewelry as i planned to. After a couple of hours taking a hell of my time in there I came out with 3 pieces of pretty necklaces; all are so pretty, within my budget, plus 30% discount!
She also handed me an invitation for their open house party this coming December 5^th. I suppose you can just come there without invitation and she would be more than happy to have you in her store!

Met Eleanor, the owner. She’s got some kind of magic. I walked out of there feeling lighter. Found some great white jewelry to wear!

Woohoo! OMG. This place is simply fabulous!
Accessories are definitely my vice and I was feeling in need of a little retail therapy. A co-​worker told me about Miss La De Da’s early last week. I have to admit that in the midst of this economic climate, I’ve been gravitating towards the accessories at Forever 21 and H&M. Just as I hit the accessories slump, I took the information about this store and consulted Unilocal (of course!) and planned my field trip.
Anyhow, let me first echo Lisa B and Paulina K by saying that this little gem has shot up to the top of my go-​to list for jewelry. I LOVE it! As the other reviews state, there are SOOO many pieces but they’re laid out in a sort of therapeutic, colorful, organized chaos. I thought I would be totally overwhelmed and I was at first (but definitely in a good way).
I would suggest that upon visiting, you park in the back (free parking is always a plus!), take a deep breath, and survey the goods — walk around and peruse a bit before revisiting the sections that appeal to you most.
Pricing is totally reasonable — they accept credit cards and offer gift cards as well. I was fortunate enough to meet the owner and she is just as fabulous as the store. She was knowledgeable and informative though non-​invasive. Don’t you hate going into little stores only to be followed around and constantly being asked if you need help? Miss La De Da’s offers just the right amount of guidance.
I loved the ambiance — the music, the sweets (free candy and cookies), and the great conversation. I really felt like the personal touch made my two-​hour long experience all the more worthwhile. I actually didn’t even realize the time pass me by!
Anyhow, as if the above isn’t enough — the owner mentioned that they almost always offer a discount (at present, it’s 30% off). Need more incentive? They offer layaway! Yes, for real. I took home a pair of retro stud earrings (three compliments already today) and have another pair of earrings and a necklace waiting for me. Talk about making a worthy investment!
Anyhow, all in all, if you’re in the area, or if you feel like exploring, Miss La De Da’s is definitely worth your time. I know I’ll be going there from now on. Treat yourself and maybe I’ll run into you there!
Cheers to you Eleanor! Can’t wait to see you again soon: o)

It’s not an ADDICTION… it’s an INVESTMENT!
One of my favorite haunts for COSTUME JEWELRY (plastic, glass, beads.)
I’ve made many great purchases at Miss La De Da’s, pieces of jewelry that my girlfriends covet… and if they’re really nice to me, I buy some of them gifts here!
In my opinion the prices at Miss La De Da’s are very fair, so if a piece seems expensive it’s probably a real collectible (meaning the value will increase over time).
Surprisingly, collectible plastic costume jewelry (especially Bakelite plastic) is sometimes more expensive than jewelry made out of metals and stones!

Jewelry Galore! You could spend hours in here and still miss, like, half of the stuff in this store. This woman has everything– gold, silver, new, old, antique, thrift, plastic, wood. You name it, she’s got it. And she’s very nice, too. Whenever I have the craving for a new piece of jewelry I’ll come here because I’m bound to find something. If you don’t walk out with something you’re nuts! Every inch of this store is covered in jewelry. Which I guess, can get a little frustrating because it’s only kind of organized.
The only thing is their pricing seems a little inconsistent. Some stuff is way overpriced and some is totally fair. But hey, you win some you lose some.

One of the valley’s (and studio wardobe departments) best kept secrets, Miss La De Da’s is all you could ever ask for in a vintage jewelery shop.
The store is organized according to material – so you’re got pearls in one section, garnet in another, silver and gold, etc – and the pieces are from all eras, starting with Victorian. But be prepared for a major sensory overload. Everything is… so…shiny! So shiny!
Their collection ranges from super cheap to pricey, but everything is quite fair. This is where you want to go if you’re looking for something unique that is sure to get noticed. The store owner is this amazing woman who knows everything about all types of jewelery, without an ounce of pretension. If you’re in there for a second, you’ll immediately feel the «I’m fabulous and so are you, let’s be fancy ladies» vibe that pervades the shop. Every purchase comes with a big pretty box with ribbons and flowers, as well as candy!
Don’t waste your time with mall jewelery stores, if you’re looking for a unique and exciting gift for a friend (or yourself), this is where it’s at. Oh, they’ve also got a stash of tiaras, hats and cufflinks.

This store is nothing short of marvelous. Why buy someone — or more importantly, yourself — a piece of jewelry that everyone else is wearing, when you can have something unique?
I can’t do justice to Collectible Glitz’s selection in words; while counters line two walls, tables and stands fill the rest of the store, and every surface is completely covered with jewelry. Check out the website (in the business info here), which has lots of pictures. The jewelry spans the Victorian era through the 50s, with smaller selections from the 60s and 70s. Some is actual silver/​gold and stones, some is costume jewelry (or Bakelite!). While you can find an overwhelming assortment of necklaces, pendants, earrings, bracelets, brooches, and rings, you can also find everything from tiaras down to rhinestoned shoe clips, plus cuff links and tie clips for the gents. Pick a color of stone you want, there’s a whole section for it. I was helping my brother shop for his girlfriend, and I can’t estimate the number of pieces I pointed out that I liked. I hardly even wear jewelry and I wanted everything. It was also really fun to occasionally run across things that were similar to/​just like pieces I used to look at in my grandma’s jewelry box as a kid.
You can put things on consignment, but probably most pieces are inexpensive enough to take home immediately (well, depending on the person); my picks for my brother were generally between $ 40-​$ 100, AND there’s a discount on everything over $ 10, ALWAYS.
Eleanor, the owner of the shop, is a find in herself: friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, patient, and sweet. She’s the kind of person you wish was your aunt (no offense to my real aunts). She offered us water, asked about our lives, put my brother’s gift in a box affixed with a flower, and gave us mints. «I love her!» I told my brother as soon as we left the store.
I should have charged that sterling/​peridot necklace to my parents…
