I have a hard time not buying earrings every time I go to resurrect - they have the best and widest selection of local maker jewelrey, from funky to elegant and everything in between. I always find the perfect gift for a special occasion, whether a mug or sweater or even birthday card (my mom exclusively buys her stationary from Resurrect). Beyond the most unique and quality selection of locally made items, the team at Resurrect are beyond lovely. They are so warm and welcoming, and they are passionate about featuring local artists. Our favorite shop in Oakland, one of our most favorites ever in the Bay.

I went to exchange a gift that I had bought for my husband. A flannel shirt. I didn't examine the…read moreshirt when I bought it bc it never occurred to me that they would sell me damaged merchandise. We brought it back to exchange for something else and when the store employee pulled it out she revealed damage to the button holes. At this point it's up in the air who is responsible. The issue I had is that she aggressively accused me of trying to return something I had damaged. I could easily have said that she accepted the return of a damaged item and tried to sell it to an unsuspecting customer. Bad attitude and bad customer service. I will NEVER GO BACK. PLEASE EXAMINE Anything YOU BUY HERE BEFORE PAYING FOR IT

Walked in to such a vibe. A few luxury items in glass cases & racks of clothing on the 1st floor. Upstairs there's more beautiful finds--leather jackets, women's clothing, a small men's clothing area, shoes, handbags and from what I noted, good prices. Can't talk about service because we weren't welcomed, approached or otherwise. I don't mind that. We walked out empty handed but will definitely be coming back!

I discovered ReLove during an online search for new consignment shops in The Bay. I loved to see a…read moreBlack owned business, and was impressed by how curated the Oakland location is for both men and women. The consignment and re-sale market in The Bay is more competitive than ever. I scored on a pair of vintage Levi 550's for an excellent price during my first visit. I browsed during Michael's time in review of items I brought in to consign. I was able to consign vintage Chanel and a Y's by Yohji Yamamoto in just under a month and a half- not bad for consignment turn around. I've also been able to get direct buy outs for other pieces like Armani collezioni, Ralph Lauren, Comme Des Garçon and Michael provides customer service that is more like making a new friend. ReLove's consignment process is welcoming as they openly share their approach and lend their expertise to truly valuing your items. For items that don't work, they are polite and clear to answer any asks why. You can trust their level of expertise, and I love being able to talk fashion industry headlines while awaiting completion of my consignment. If you are past the point of Wasteland, Second Street USA, Crossroads and BuffaloExchange- give ReLove a chance. Only bring quality items, as they have a discerning eye for a curated selection of the best labels with upheld quality for what is accepted for consignments. Browse to see what they have first, to give you a sense of what to bring in for sustainable resale. I frequent the Oakland location, but have had helpful and friendly convo with the SF boutique when checking on status of active consignments. I am committed to full fashion sustainability, and have been for 3 years now, and I'm glad ReLove is part of my collection of sources to find what I'm looking for.

I love that. It's a boutique that specializes in bright colors and patterns, like the late sixties dropped in for a visit and decided to stay. It was very tidy and well organized. And they have husband chairs near the dressing rooms. The staff was very attentive, making nice suggestions. And it was reasonably priced.

I texted her (due to COVID, still only by appointment) and she replied immediately and I visited that day! I described the event to her, the theme, who I would be meeting, what location it would be, and she totally ran with it and pulled some unique, brand-new couture dresses from Berlin to Tokyo. We were both excited it seemed, and in the end it was so hard to choose! This stuff is quality and comfy! Don't be afraid to tell her what you enjoy and don't enjoy about the dresses, Rana has plenty to choose from and knows what to do with that information. I eventually ended going with a comfy, flattering and elegant black dress that will last me forever. But a close second was a smoky pink feminine asymmetrical dress that made me look like a million dollars. I may be back to splurge on that dress too, as I'm sure I'd wear it plenty and by the 5th or 6th wear I will have already gotten my money's worth! (Rana also gave many tips on how to dress it up or down, style it a bunch of ways... the versatility makes this clothing so much more valuable.) Go ahead and treat yourself, everybody deserves a big girl dress in their closet. It's a huge difference from fast fashion and will probably last you 200x as long. The quality is incomparable. Thanks Rana, I'll see you next time!

I stumbled across a small pop up in the Livermore Outlets, and as usual walked away from some cute prospects. I'll stay awake at night thinking about how cute I could have looked in those dresses. But what I love about this store is that the pieces feel like good quality, and they carry a range of sizes (that easily fits these ever expanding curves and hips). And the possible owner of the store is GREAT with faces. She genuinely remembers guests who return. So if you want to be the belle of the ball without breaking the bank: go here and find an outfit that will stun. Trust me, the owner always looks like she's leaving a fashion shoot!
