This is a one of a kind store. You can find things there that you'll never find anywhere. The staff is attentive to your needs and jonny has more fashion sense than a man should be allowed to have.

Words just cannot describe Forbidden Planett well enough. Johnny, Susan and Carol are truly gems! I just couldn't thank them enough for creating the most gorgeous victorian style wedding dress for our special day. They are so intuitive, attentive and creative. They offer one-on-one service that you just don't receive at any store anymore. You must stop in or make an appointment and find out for yourself how wonderful and special they really are!

This is an amazing store where I have had the pleasure of both buying and selling totally unique and valuable vintage items -- from designer clothing to amazing jewelry. Absolutely not to be missed for the saavy fashionable female. Plus John and Susan are so much fun to work with - and really helpful in finding your best look. Go - you';ll love it.

Forbidden Planet is truly a gem of a store in Philadelphia...from the mere location -which is at basement level, in the heart of Old City, to the modest store sign to the rustic decor of the place. The atmosphere is cozy and yet full of life. Johnny is fantastic with his great knowledge of each and every piece of clothing and accessory and is entertaining and fun. I love knowing that what I buy has a "little story." As a new resident in Philadelphia, I have found my new favorite store! Forbidden Planet is a treasure store for serious shoppers.

Not only is Forbidden Planett the best Vintage and resale boutique in Philadelphia , they have one of a kind pieces from the thirties to the present. Most of the pieces are pricless with their finely made fabrics that will last for years to come. They just dont make clothes like that anymore. Enjoy!

If you ever wondered what Archeologist Henry felt when he first walked into the chambers and saw the treasures of the tomb of Tutenkamun, your wonder will be answered when you walk past the mannequins coifed and dressed, down the steps and through the door of this unique treasure of a store. And like Henry You will be transported onto another world - or worlds, rather. Maybe it will be Valentino's bedroom, or Vegas in the 50's or that last night at Studio 54. Regardless of the time period to which you are transported, Forbidden Planet's abiance will welcome you. You know you are in no ordinary vintage store. The proprietors of the shop, Johnny Columbo and Susan Adams, offer a service that is both expert, honest, personal and friendly. They do not move their merchandise just for the income; they care about every single item in Forbidden Planet and will gladly explain to you, in great detail, the story behind that perfect vintage find you have just discovered and must have or you will die from separation anxiety. It could be clothing, jewelry, shoes, accessories - whatever - this is the only place to go for vintage in Philadelphia. Well, not the only, but it certainly is the best.

This is an amazing botique with amazing Vintage. There is no other shop like this in Philly. I have purchesed the best vintage clothing, handbags and jewelry. University of Penn gets an automatic 25% off all purchases and thats why I shop there. I am a senior at Penn and shop at The Planett before any other Vintage store.
