Funky Monkey

I loved this store! So many fun shirts, pants, dresses, accessories and much more! The woman at the front desk was kind and helpful and I ended up leaving with 2 funky shirts that I still wear. As it is a vintage shop, the prices are a bit higher then a traditional thrift shop. The 2 shirts (and maybe a sticker or two) came to about $60 dollars in total. Visited July 21st

I've been shopping at Funky Monkey for years. It's located on Magazine, my favorite area to hang out, browse and shop. It's a vintage thrift store but they also sell a limited number new items. I visit when I need a unique piece or even a costume or wig. The pricing is usually reasonable depending on the piece. They're very particular when choosing what to buy and I appreciate that as a buyer. I've sold a few things but im always surprised by what they choose to skip on in terms of high end gently worn items from my own closet. In any case, I respect their methods. The staff is usually pretty helpful though not always the most enthusiastic. However, I understand everyone has rough days. Some of my favorite pieces come from Funky Monkey, so I'll definitely be back.

This is a cute little vintage shop on Magazine street in New Orleans we found while walking a bit after lunch. We love thrifting and vintage shopping, so of course we had to go in! Inside, we had to drop off our drinks and water bottles at the front counter, which I totally understand since I would hate to accidentally get something on their amazing stuff! Anyway, this store has men and women clothing from different decades! We certainly found a few items we loved! Not only do they sell clothing, but they also sell accessories to include things like shoes, jewelry, belts, hats and so much more! I think if you're in the area, you should check it out!

I came excited to sell some very nice clothes and instead got bad attitudes, ripped bags, and taken advantage of.I would give 0 stars if I could, and I will not be returning. Clothes are overpriced and size exclusive (only smalls and mediums). Even if you do decide to buy something, you can't because their card reader is broken. Don't go here if you feel like having a good day.

I had no problems when I came here. I walked in and was greeted. I asked a question and the staff member was more than happy to help. I shopped without being harassed which is what I like. I got one of their shirts that that they make for $20 and a bag (not vintage and still regular price) for $28. I googled the bag before I bought it and the brand of Fydelity mini bags cost between $26 - $60 so I didn't feel like I was robbed or got a deal. If you're in the area, definitely check it out this store. If you don't want to get something vintage then check out the shirts they make, they have tons of different designs.

Great selection of vintage items, a must anytime I visit NOLA. They have all inclusive sizing of vintage items and are constantly cycling new things.

Yes, most of the staff act like they hate their lives and talking to you is the worst possible task imaginable BUT they do have a great selection of clothes for Halloween, Mardi Gras, costume parties, etc. They also have tons of accessories: hats, jewelry, bags, shoes, wigs, make up, tights. The pricing is weird. Some things are truly great values while other, cheap, and used items are way overpriced. You just have to go digging for the gold amongst some trash. Funky monkey also has screen printing with a lot of nifty patterns ($20). Love my alien peace shirt!

Had an awful experience at Funky Monkey. My wife bought me a suit here as a present, wasn't sure about the fit so double checked the return policy and saw I had 14 days. I tried it on and it didn't fit, so I took it right off and brought it right back in, tags still on. The woman working there informed me that they consider it a costume item and it can't be returned. I explained that my wife didn't know it had been considered a costume and all I wanted to do was switch for a bigger size. They refused to try to help me out, and acted like I was being a jerk for asking them to consider bending the policy. I understand having a return policy, but even after she acknowledged I was just trying to switch out a brand new item for a different size she insisted that if she broke the rule this one time every customer would come in trying to return everything.The worst part was my wife called to explain what had happened, and the woman hung up on her mid sentence. Both of us were being polite and just trying to reason with her. I could have bought the same suit for half the price on Amazon, but we try to patronize local stores. What is the point if the service is rude and they refuse to help you in any way.

Great place to sell/buy vintage clothing. Had nice stuff just not wearing so I some money and someone will enjoy.

Cool thrift store with a bunch of different stuff. Most of their items are reasonably priced, but some stuff is kinda pricey for a thrift store. Overall, there are still plenty of great funky finds.
