Description

The Laundry Day Excuses graphic crop top has a very specific explanation for its outfit: “MY GUCCI T-SHIRT IS IN THE WASH.” A little dripping T-shirt illustration delivers the rest of the joke. This is a Quirk design, printed on a white cotton crop tee, for anyone whose relationship with fashion includes a healthy sense of humor.

A graphic crop top with an easy, boxy fit

The current version is made from 100% combed cotton, with a relaxed body, dropped shoulders and a ribbed crewneck. The 180 g/m² fabric has more substance than the earlier version, while the cropped hem sits neatly above high-waisted trousers or a long skirt. Try it under an open blazer when the rest of the outfit is behaving.

  • White with a black front graphic; plain back
  • 100% combed cotton, 5.3 oz/yd² (180 g/m²)
  • Relaxed cropped fit with short sleeves and dropped shoulders
  • Preshrunk, side-seamed construction and double-needle hems
  • Made to order in XS, S, M, L and XL

Choose your size

Compare a tee you own with these garment measurements. Length is measured from the highest shoulder point beside the collar to the hem; width is measured flat across the chest, under the sleeves. Garment measurements can vary by up to 2 inches (5 cm).

Nice little store in the heart of DTLA. Nice clothes, decent prices and super friendly staff. All sorts of things to buy and great for gifts.

One of the coolest places I’ve stumbled upon thus far. Unlike some other vintage stores where it feels like it’s full of marked-up Goodwill items, Melynda takes the time to research and select all the items she puts out in the store. When I stopped by, she even let me look through some items she hadn’t put out yet, and I found a really cool vintage Western button-up. The men’s section is not neglected either, full of some really cool shirts, pants, jackets, shoes, and other accessories. If you’re looking to find a unique piece in a friendly environment, this is the place for you.

Had a wonderful time visiting this shop, lots of cool stuff and just a great friendly vibe. Found a great sweater that is an instant favorite in my wardrobe. A nice, fun place to stop by.

I finally walked in after walking by for years when I heard they were in need for volunteers for their donation drive. I'm ashamed I haven't found this store before. The owner is fantastic, she hopped out of a hospital bed and straight to setting up this push to help people. The store, as it's known, on the fourth floor feels like you are thriving with some of the most upbeat staff to aid you find everything you need for woman's clothing, toiletries, and undergarments. On the second is where you can find an almost equal amount of men's, rare to have this ratio in any department store. Kids all the way down to infants, with diapers, and toys. Here you can see volunteers going from room to room sorting through, sizing, and cleaning up donations to stock both floors. Snacks, water, non-perishable food, and a welcome environment has made this a far distinction from digging through a pile of T-shirts on a folding table. My time volunteering here has been exhausting in the best way, the tiredness that comes with knowing you've done good, that your work and presence are valued. I'll continue to be here everyday I can until Melynda gets tired of me saying, "Happy ___day!" We're still here!

Great vintage shop in Downtown! With all the new vintage stores popping up around LA these days, Quirk really stands out with having unique, high quality items that are personally curated by the owner, Melynda, who is also a professional stylist and costume designer. Most vintage shops these days are just filled with XXL 80s/90s shirts, and overpriced jeans. Quirk has one-of-a-kind items that have made me a return customer. Most recent purchases were a 1970s YSL handbag and kimono jacket that always get me compliments when I wear them out.

I love this place! Melynda was super nice and carried a great conversation. We bought a vintage straw purse and vintage sweater tie. This place is very well curated. Wish her and her partner all the best of luck!

I have joyfully followed Melynda and Quirk grow over the past year. Every time I get a little extra money I pop in to get a nice something-or-another for myself and leave with much more; life stories, fashion advice, and sometimes coffee. Each time I leave Quirk I look and feel a little smarter. Keep up the excellent work. -DC

This is such a fabulous find! A true gem tucked away in DTLA!! I went looking for vintage men’s items to match a watch I was gifted, and Melynda helped me pick out the most beautiful suit. She’s amazing too - she has the most fun and quirky style, but also donates clothes to victims of the wildfires. She gave me a tour of “The People’s Free Boutique” and it’s laid out to make those who have lost everything feel like they are really shopping for high-end items rather than getting things for free. I will be back to support Quirk Vintage again!!

Looking for unique style with a personal touch? Look no further than Quirk. From the moment I walked in, I felt like a VIP. The owner, Melynda, is not just a salesperson; she's a magician with fashion. She effortlessly picked out pieces that perfectly suited my taste and body type, creating looks I never imagined possible. The selection of vintage clothing is unparalleled, each piece telling its own story. Whether you're a seasoned vintage lover or a newbie, [Owner's Name] will elevate your wardrobe to new heights. Thank you for the fabulous experience!

My friends and I had a very pleasant and wonderful visit at Quirk. I got these beautiful snake skin shoes with a vintage neck scarf which i also fall in love with. I got compliments from people every time i wear them. I wanted to buy everything when I was there. There are jewelry, scarfs , shoes, dresses and the HATS. The price is very affordable so I was a happy shopper. The next best thing ( or the best ) about Quirk is the shop owner, Melynda. She is friendly and extremely helpful in helping you putting your dream outfits together and giving you advices when you needed them. She makes my shopping experience fun and comfortable. The shop is beautiful. I love the warmth and the openness of the shop. It stands out in the middle of the busy downtown LA streets. I will definitely come back and visit again when I come back to LA.

Quirk is the kind of place you walk into and immediately feel like you’ve inherited the wardrobe of a rich, eccentric aunt who traveled the world and kept all the best pieces. Every rack feels intentional, lived in, and full of personality. Nothing feels random. Each item has a story, and you can sense it the moment you start browsing. The bag selection alone is worth the stop. There are so many standout pieces that feel like true finds, not just resale. The kind of bags you don’t see twice. What really makes this place special is the owner, Melynda. She’s genuinely fun to talk to and clearly passionate about what she curates. You can tell there’s pride and care behind every piece in the shop. Talking with her about vintage fashion and the stories behind the items made the experience feel personal, not transactional. This ended up being one of the coolest spots I stumbled into in the fashion district. If you appreciate vintage that feels curated and soulful rather than picked over, Quirk is a must.
