I recently stopped by in search of new shoes for my travels, and I was blown away by the level of care, patience, and expertise that Chris and Mecque brought to the experience. They took the time to walk me through multiple shoe options, encouraging me to try on different styles and really pay attention to what felt good and what didn't. They didn't rush the process, and their knowledge and kindness made it such an enjoyable experience. It's rare these days to find that kind of thoughtful, patient service where the goal is to truly help you find the right fit--not just make a sale. Supporting local businesses like this is so important, especially when they go above and beyond to offer genuine, personalized service. I'm thrilled with my new cushioned shoes and feel so much more prepared for my upcoming travels. Huge thanks to Chris and Mecque for their care and attention to detail! If you're in the area, definitely check them out. It's the kind of shopping experience that reminds you why buying local matters.

Had such a disgusting experience shopping with this store on the SHOP app! I paid $282+ for these…read moresneakers which were a rare Nike Prototype and they really sent them in a shipper bag from CA to NY via USPS Ground! Of course, upon receipt, the box was crushed and torn in a corner. As you can imagine, I was highly disappointed and commented on their instagram page expressing my dissatisfaction. I then called yesterday on 03/22/2025 and spoke with a manager named Crystal. This woman was completely unprofessional, disrespectful and threatening! She was totally unhinged. Not only did she insult me, but she actually said I wasn't a runner (which couldn't be further from the truth as I actually run a 5k approximately 3-4x a week). She said I needed to "put on my shoes, go outside, be happy and smile." Unbelievably presumptuous and rude! Then she ended our call by hanging up on me right before calling me a scammer then she was going to report me to the Shop app. Even if I wasn't a runner, which I am, whether I chose to wear my shoes or take a dump in them is entirely my business! When I purchase something new, especially when it's close to $300, I would expect that not only the shoes, but the box arrives to me in new condition. To add insult to injury, she demanded I send the shoes back "in a box," which I found to be totally rich as they hadn't even sent it to me in a box! The woman is mentally unstable. I could even hear her shaking through the phone. Not once did I raise my voice or use profanity and her reaction was 100% unwarranted. Update: I'm changing my feedback from 1 star to 3 because apparently I was issued a refund, but unbeknownst to me. I only saw it appear on my account after the fact. As I had previosly mentioned to leadership, an apology would have gone a long way with me. No one was asking for money back or charity, but I appreciate the initiative nonetheless. I still feel the manager Crystal is problematic and should be spoken to by whoever she reports to in addition to receiving some much needed sensitivity and customer service training.

If you like name-brand outdoor clothing but not name-brand outdoor clothing prices, Marin Outdoor…read moreTrading Company should be on your radar. With a mix of consignment clothing and manufacturer samples, MOTC is a small, local shop with an enticing mix of offerings. Even though the consignment clothing would never count as cheap, every piece appears to be in great shape with no evidence of wear. The sample pieces, still sporting manufacturer tags, also sport a huge discount off their recommended sales price. I picked up a pre-worn, stylish fleece from The North Face for $30 and felt that price was reasonable and returned home to tell my son he should check the place out for the sort of outdoor men's pants he likes. The array of offerings is not dissimilar from what one finds at REI, but on a much smaller scale. There's other outdoor stuff here too - including a proprietor with whom one can engage in for everything fishing related. Despite its size, the store features clothes for all ages and genders as well as outdoor equipment. Whether you've outgrown something or just want something new or gently worn, if you're seeking outdoor clothing and like those name brands, MOTC should be on your radar.

I also gave them a new loop (taken off another purse) to replace it with. They told me to come back in 2 days. I did. After looking everywhere for it it had not been fixed. Come back in 2 more days. I did. Purse still not fixed. They're apologizing profusely and PROMISING to get it done later that day. Come back tomorrow. I did. It still had not been touched. I say this is getting a bit ridiculous, they are soooo sorry. They swear it will be done. Come back again. I did (you guessed it...never touched). This happened 7 times. We are talking replacing 1 loop. The 7th time they tell me they'll fix it now. Come back in a little while. I did...and this is what they gave me (see photos). They did use the new loop I gave them...and somehow they actually RIPPED IT, TOO!!! I stood there, mouth agape in disbelief as he tried to convince me that "the new strap will hold just fine" (as he's yanking on the new loop now making the rip even larger). I tell him this just won't do. He finds another piece of leather to make a new-new loop and tells me to come back tomorrow. Now exhausted...I did. Still nothing had been done. As he was again apologizing saying to come back again I took the purse and told him I really did not want them to have it yet another time...and that I would not be coming back. I'm sorry I gave them so many chances. I won't be giving them any more. Do yourself, and Marelli Brothers, a favor...take your business somewhere else.

I met Kenlynn several years ago when she had a shop in downtown Larkspur, but I can't begin to say…read morehow excited I've been to discover her new storefront on Union Street in San Francisco. Still a hidden gem, tucked between restaurants on the bustling thoroughfare, I spotted the brilliant color of a fuchsia dress in the window on my initial visit from half a block away. What Kenlynn offers is the opposite of fast fashion. An elegant, human, humane escape from disposable, forgettable garments. Each wearable piece in the store is the creation of her own hands: cashmere, baby alpaca and wool yarns and silks she procures from Italy and dyes herself to brilliant hues, knitted sweaters and dresses that beg to be worn, scarves that make perfect gifts and bring coziness we need year round in the Bay Area. After trying on more than my fair share and falling in love with quite a few items, I settled on an incredible piece she calls "the cocoon," which is every bit as warm and inviting as it sounds. In stunning magenta and purple, it's as vibrant as it is yummy! The perfect piece to nestle up with a book in. Or, in my case, while writing a book. I would love to buy one of every item in the store. Her pieces aren't inexpensive, but quality, love and beauty is stitched into every one. Also, as an added bonus, since she makes them herself, custom orders are absolutely possible. She also carries some fantastic Italian shoes that compliment her wardrobe. (My first purchase from her years ago was a priceless pair of lace-up Italian boots!) Absolutely worth going out of your way for and don't just glance at the items on the hangers. These pieces beg to be tried on and worn!

It won't be a waste of your time. Drop off what is nice but not needed so that someone who really needs it can have it! Note the specific open hours and donations accepted times on their website. Tip re. Dropping off items: Donations are received at the rear of the building, down the immediately adjacent driveway. Back down it if you can. It's difficult to turn a car around at the bottom!

Marin is the Mecca if you are either an ordinary shopper or a reseller in the high-end resale market this is a fabulous cause as well. They dress people who are looking for a new start and help them get professional clothes to go to interviews and such. The donations for the store come from very nice and wealthy donors in San Francisco and other areas of Marin County. The prices here are amazing. I mostly shop for myself but occasionally find something well enough price that I could resell it. They have a five dollar rack where they put everything that hasn't sold in two months. I found some amazing things on that rack today. I also bought myself some lovely things spent more than five dollars of course but not anywhere near the actual value of these designer pieces if you are anywhere near this place, you must stop by and support this wonderful cause.
