Racks Boutique

The help offered at this store matches the selection of vintage clothing: fantastic! They had exactly what I was hoping for and then some. Bravo!

Drove 30 mins just to have the door be locked. The sign said OPEN and the lights were on but the door was locked. Knocked and looked for another entrance. Looks cute and fun inside but hard to shop when the doors locked.

Great little shop! Organized and clean! We could only spend a few minutes but I made out with a silver tiger’s eye ring and a cross-​strap purse. We wished we could have spent longer exploring her (the owner was awesome) treasures. Also, epic playlist, we were groovin as we shopped.

Great place! Love what I got from there & honestly it was at a decent price for how awesome it is. Small building, but that is basically the set up for any vintage clothing store.

It’s a small thrift store. Genuinely small that it’s kind of difficult to look around in comfortably if there’s more than probably four people inside. But other than the physical size of the store itself, the decoration and vibe overall is cute and is genuinely awesome.
However, it’s really the clothes that matter here. The vintage things they tend to have here really are amazing finds and I’ve gone a few times thinking about an item: «where did you even find this?!».
BUT the reason I’m only giving this place 3 stars is because of its prices. While this place really does have interesting clothes, there’s about 4 – 5 other thrift stores within a 3 mile radius from this one who can offer vintage clothes for prices that are much much less. Because also what’s the point in buying something used if I can find its new equivalent for either cheaper or barely that much more expensive?
Overall, if you’re willing to spend money thrifting and want to find really nice vintage finds then this is your place. But if you’re looking for nice used cheap clothes, then I’d just drive a few blocks to another thrift store.

Just walked in today on a whim and left with some awesome Levi’s denim jackets and a super cute Pendleton flannel.
I have never written a Unilocal review in my life but here I am sitting in my car outside of Racks writing a review :)
The place is super small but COMPLETELY organized. If you’re looking for denim jackets, perfect, they’re all in one spot!
Tons of good finds and the owner is super down to earth and nice! I will be telling all my friends and looking for more new pieces here!

The store is super clean and organized, I found everything I needed for a 70’s party tonight.

I came here looking for vintage prom dresses and I found a large selection. The products and prices were amazing. What really stood out was the customer service. Very friendly, outgoing and knowledgable staff (Jeanette)! I will definitely be back.

Found just what we wanted for a1965 themed dinner. Inexpensive and fun we’ll be back!

Racks is the only true vintage clothing shop in Sacramento — when I say true, I am talking about a store that specializes in only vintage clothing, similar to the ones you find in LA’s Melrose St, SF’s Haight & Mission, & Downtown Las Vegas, where vintage clothing is a big deal. What’s best about Racks is that it’s very affordable for vintage! One time, I bought about 4 pairs of new clothing items from the 60s-​70s era for less than $ 30. The price ranges from $ 5 (they have a great $ 5 rack outside) to probably $ 80 and clothing dates from the 40s and up! It’s never crowded and seems pretty unknown about compared to the other so-​called vintage shops in Sac.
The downside is that most of the time Racks has the same unsold clothing — either their new stuff is very little or they sell out new items very quickly. Most of the time I go there, it’s a «miss» but the cheap prices keep me going. I don’t go very often since I live outside Sac but I still recognize items I saw the last time I went. The store is very tiny so you can easily look through everything in less than 30 minutes. Also, it’s dark in there so you may have a hard time seeing flaws.

This place has some pretty cute vintage stuff. I’ve scored on a super sweet embroidered jean jacket, baby doll dress, and floral pants. I just wish they had more of a men’s selection because I love buying cute clothes for my boyfriend. They could also do some rotation of there merchandise which might keep me coming back more frequently. Overall this place is a sweet little hole in the wall where you can go to find some unique items.

Beautiful store with a beautiful owner and beautiful vibes. So much cool stuff and affordable too. The owner was so awesome and she kept going to the back and pulling stuff out that she thought my friend would like. The dressing room was big and decorated with a colorful boho theme. I seriously want to live in this store. Not to mention the amazing street art just outside. I will definitely be returning!!!

What a great time my daughter and I had on an outing. I think we may have had a groupon… my daughter was pregos with my grand-​baby and they were able to accommodate some snappy fashions for her big belly and look absolutely fabulous! I found a bangin’ eel skin purse, Kansas City Chiefs vintage tee shirt and Levi jacket. I walked away happy with my finds and my beautiful daughter was even more glowing as an expectant mommie with her new found fitting attire. The staff is amazing. the deals we found were great and I can’t wait to come back and enjoy looking and buying again. This is a definite stop to try out people, don’t miss out!

Oh how I love Racks! They keep it real with some awesome vintage items. The owner Rachel truly has an eye for finding some amazing clothes, shoes and jewelry. She is super nice and very helpful.
The store is very original, located directly behind the bar Round Corner. The outside of the building is red with beautiful art work. Inside the store is packed with cool paintings and rad vintage apparel.
I have found so many wonderful things here and Rachel always seems to find shoes in bigger sizes. (For me, it hard to find shoes at thrift stores. I wear a size 11, so it definitely gets tricky.) I’ve bought some great cow boy boots, sandals and wedges for an awesome price.
Rachel does sales pretty often too. Sometimes its a $ 5 dollar bin or sidewalk sale, other times its buy one, get one free. Keep your eyes peeled so you don’t miss these sweet deals! If you follow her on instagram, she posts items that are for sale. You can comment to claim the item and she will hold it for you to buy. Also, if you are looking for a certain size or item give Rachel your number and she will find it for you. I absolutely love this store and encourage all vintage lovers to stop by for a visit.

Nice saleslady, nice perusable selection, good quality clothing.

Loooove Racks! I always come across some great things here! Rachel has a keen eye for fashion and lots of vintage items to choose from. I can find all my old school sports attire here too.
If you’re looking for something specific, give her your info and she’ll give you a call if she finds something :)

I’m glad I saw the Racks booth at the Sacramento Antique Faire, because otherwise I would’ve never known that it existed! The storefront is small and a bit off the beaten path, something you may easily drive by without noticing. I’m glad we made it a stop on our thrift shop day.
The owner lady is super nice and seemed to be friends with everyone in the shop (or maybe she was having a private party that we accidentally intruded into, haha!) There is some amazing clothing and accessories to be found, and she appears to have more tucked away in the back if you’re looking for something in particular. The prices are definitely more «consignment» than «thrift», but the prices were overall fair considering the authentically vintage pieces. The only downside is how small the shop is; if there are multiple people inside you start feeling cramped.
The next time I need pieces for a vintage outfit I’m building– and not vintage-​style costume pieces– Racks will be my next stop!

Amazing clothes, prices, and service! This store has the highest quality vintage clothing, combined with the lowest prices, I couldn’t believe it. I found a high-​waisted leather pencil skirt, navy blue wool sailor pants (you know the ones with 20 buttons and the corset threading in the back?), and a fitted royal blue calf-​length winter coat for UNDER $ 100 dollars! Needless to say, I’m heading back in a couple weeks to pick up the other half of my finds… happy shopping!
TIP: Be sure to ask an employee about which clothes they would recommend for you if you can’t find anything. A lot of times, you have to see these clothes on, and I almost walked out before she found me 5 – 10 items that fit perfectly!

Racks is great!
Rachel has a great eye for cool, unique, vintage pieces. I went in last week and scored an adorable 70’s mod sweater. Super flattering and I got lots of compliments on it. The items can get pricey. I got lucky, my sweater was only 19 bucks. There was a cute sweater dress I tried on. I would have bought the dress but I didn’t think it was worth 40 bucks. The store is cute and small, I like that because I don’t spend too much time looking and digging through clothes like massive thrift stores, I guess I don’t have the patience for it. Finding parking was easy. There’s only 1 fitting room and I wish it was more private. The store is small so the loose drape made me feel a little exposed. Cool t-​shirts and good variety of coats. Overall, I like this place and I would recommend stopping by and checking it out. :)

Really great vintage finds here! Everything in the store is totally in style and in good condition. The prices are higher than what you would find in a thrift store, but you won’t waste any time sifting through outrageous articles of clothing to find quality pieces.
The store is small and very organized. There are both women’s and men’s clothing, lots of flannel shirts for the guys and cute dresses for the girls. There is also a pretty good jewelry and accessory section for the girls, although I did not notice any men’s accessories or any shoes. The owner is really nice and friendly.
