Cozy little store in a cute neighborhood with a wonderful selection of artisanal products and gifts. I have bought many lovely unique pieces for my friends, nieces and nephews, all well received. The shop owners are very friendly and the service is terrific. It is alway a fun and enjoyable experience to visit the shop. As a bonus, there are also many nice restaurants and shops nearby, makes this a nice area to spend an afternoon. read more

Lovely cozy shop in Potrero Hill - you'll find lots of good finds here from apparel, accessories, home goods, jewelry, gifts that are fun, artsy, and luxurious. Beautiful leather goods, hand-crafted jewelry, and other neat objects to admire. The shop was recently taken over by a new owner and she is absolutely lovely! Items here seem fairly priced for the quality of the item - there is something for all price ranges. read more

As the old joke punch line goes - It's a knick knack paddy whack, give the frog a loan! I'm a guy with an "occasional" retail therapy bug. And although Collage doesn't really carry a lot that i'm usually interested in (except a gift or 2), it is fun to look in all the nooks and crannies (including drawers) in this creative and compact store to see what's here. There is lots of unusual and cool art work, jewelry, antique-y stuff, and letters! The woman who maybe is the the owner was helpful, knowledgable, and not at all pushy. read more

I love exploring quirky boutiques wherever I go - SF, LA, NYC, London, Paris, Barcelona...you get the picture. The reason behind this is because every time I enter one of these little stores, I feel like one of the characters from C.S. Lewis' characters from the Chronicles of Narnia. You know, when they enter the closet and are in a completely new world? Yeah, that's how I feel. I checked out reviews of the store and overall people raved about the place. It is divided into two stores: one for clothing and one for accessories and home furnishings. I, for one, was not impressed with the clothing store - TOTALLY NOT MY STYLE. I immediately left and went straight to the accessories store. Hallelujah and score! Everything in here was a throwback to another time period and I felt like a little kid again, playing dress up with all the beautiful, antique jewelry. I ended up buying a cute ring made out of an old typewriter key (a "C" of course ;)) I love how they support a lot of local jewelry designers! I could honestly stay in here for hours playing dress up and searching through all the drawers of jewelry. I think you should too. read more

COLLAGE - Art Galleries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Looking for vintage wall letters and numbers? Collage may have the best collection of wall letters in the city. You'll find different fonts and sizes made from wood, chrome (from automobiles), brass, plastic, and more. The owner of Collage is, fittingly, a collage artist, who scours flea markets for wall letters and numbers, vintage cameras, vintage flashlights, old keys, etc. Another great find was the collection of vintage electric wall clocks. They've been refurbished and come with a 1 year warranty. You'll definitely find unique gifts with character here. Collage carries items made by local artists. The jewelry is mostly new but some of the artists use vintage buttons, typewriter keys, watch faces, lockets, poker chips, Scrabble pieces, wood printing press blocks, etc. I didn't see any piece over $100. The jewelry has a delicate quality with gemstones, pearls, etc. Some of the necklaces featured silver twigs. The purses are made by local artists as well. The shop looks small because it's packed; the shelves, cabinets, tables and bins are crammed with purses, candles, mini statues, drinking glasses, French style enamel plaques, silk scarves, purse hooks, books, baby booties, greeting cards, candles, candle holders, hairpins, and jewelry galore. Don't forget to look in all the drawers (all of them) when you're there. It's open 7 days a week with longer hours during the holiday shopping season. read more

I want a boyfriend. I want a boyfriend that wears shirts with French link cuffs. I want to be able to buy the cuff links made from antique typewriter keys for a boyfriend who wears shirts with French link cuffs. While this store can't supply the boyfriend it can supply loads of items, like gorgeous cuff links made from typewriter keys, that are totally awesome and unique. They've got antique cameras, loads of jewelry made by local artisans, letters from old signs and old printing press type. Most of the furniture that items are displayed on are for sale too! Need the time? check out their selection of working antique clocks. In addition to having an awesome selection it's also great to get ideas for diy projects and home decor. The owner is super helpful and as icing on the cake, Collage is open 7 days a week with evening hours that the other boutiques in the area don't have. read more

Friend and I stumbled upon the gem of this store after church on a Sunday. Wow!!! Can I say, feast for my eyes? It's got everything glinting and shimmering. Bracelets, earrings, necklaces of all kinds, all feminine and delicate. Best of all, all the jewelry are made by local women artists. The store has been around for 17 years. The owner is an artist and collage maker herself, she also offers collage making classes - for about $105, you can take a 5 hour class on how to make authentic collages on canvases, all supplies included! I'll definitely check it out! Love this place and will stop by again! read more

Discovered this uniquely charming jewelry and gift boutique en route to Farley's coffeehouse next door. I bought two necklaces ~ one with turquoise stones and another with an antique typewriter key ~ and my daughter went back for beautiful crystal earrings. The selection is large. So many local artists. What I loved most is that I mentioned to the owner that we hoped to return at 8p., her closing time, and she said she'd wait for us ... I ended up buying votive candle holders decorated with reclaimed film from old Hollywood classics ~ Singing in the Rain, Young Frankenstein, Star Wars, Wizard of Oz. The reclaimed things are whimsical. Great energy. PS: It's refreshing to note that there's lots of free parking in the area. read more

What a charming little boutique store in Sunny Potrero! This store carries a nice selection of jewelry by local artists along with vintage/found alphabets, numbers, and other great accessories! I love how they use old file cabinets to place their jewelry collection inside. Each drawer is lined with fabric or some cute paper with jewelry laid on top. Its so fun to open every drawer in that store! I also love how they have products in all price ranges. Some items for sale are pricey, but others are totally affordable. There is also some vintage furniture for sale, which are always at a great price. I currently love their little found cameras that are on display and for sale. Great collection of unique items for sale! read more

Love this place everytime I come in it. Knick knacks, furniture, revamped and redone antiques, jewelry, photo albums, photographic art, and the what not. I never walk out of here without a mental list of things I want from the place when I get my own place............. The owner is also really friendly and helpful and not at all pushy. Fabulous place to browse for that right gift for someone special. I already know what I'm buying someone for their next birthday. read more

I clicked up the hill in my heels at a brisk pace, alternating between walk and jog. I had approximately 9 minutes until Collage Gallery would close, and if I didn't make it in time to find a wonderfully unique gift, I would be the Bad-Gift-Giving-Girlfriend. They're open til 8:00 during the week, which is important to note for all of you workaholics. Shame on you, by the way. We work to live, not live to work. I mean, a late night here and there is OK, because Baby needs new shoes, and a big bonus could sure help. Maryann greeted me with a twinkle in her eye and a genuine, non-sales-y smile. Fantastic! I wouldn't be pressure-sold (not much unlike being pressure-cooked, really). She showed me the masculine items in the store, and I exclaimed, "This place is wonderful! It is full of wonder!" And I chose the most distinctive cuff links, which I am sure nobody else has--because I matched the pair myself. The cuff links were made of antique typewriter keys; and I won't say what my choice symbolizes, because I would no longer be mysterious in Yelpland. read more

I am one of Collage's jewelry artists - I love this place! Wanted to share a Yelp review from my page that mentions Collage. Alison C says: I discovered some SH jewelery at Collage Gallery in Potrero Hill. I really loved it, but wanted something specific to wear for my wedding. I emailed Stephanie, and had my stunning custom necklace and bracelet in hand within 2 weeks, even though I told her there was no rush since the wedding's in 6 months. Impressive. Her designs are beautiful and really unique, and her customer service is outstanding. 10 stars! read more

Collage reminds me of the creative boutique stores of Buenos Aires. Enterprising individuals setting up whimsical shops in random storefronts. I liked the eclectic assortment of knick knacks and hob knobs here. Lots of great jewelry and unique forget-me-nots to perk up someone special's day. In particular I oogled the fancy pants Parisian stamp kits which invoked daydreams of hand writing (!) some letters and imprinting them with my stamp of authenticity. read more

The best things about Collage: The jewelry is beautiful and unique. I stop in every month or two, and sure enough find a beautiful pair of earrings or a necklace that I know will be special for a long time. I also found the loveliest dish to keep my jewelry in. The jewelry is all made by local women designers/artists. I love that. You can also find wonderful vintage items from clocks to cameras, old beautiful mirrors, frames etc. Never the same thing twice. I love it and highly recommend a trip in! read more

I went to Collage Gallery after getting the Scoutmob for 50% off. Lets just say their endless array of oddities and antiques, collectibles and trinkets is great to say the least. My wife fell in love with several of the things she found there. We ended up buying some things and deciding we'd come back again really soon. It is a nice little store, the service is very friendly and quick. The things inside range greatly in price, but it is all for a good cause. Some of it can be rather expensive, though. I'd go again. A cute little shop! read more

Really lovely jewelry! I get simple gold and pearl earrings and necklaces for my mum and girlfriends here... and of course a little something for myself. read more

Wow! I just LOVE this little store! The fact that I have my business nearby is both good & bad....GOOD in that I can just whip in and get some little treasure as a gift for (me...hee hee) or a friend... BAD in that it is too close for comfort to try & not spend any $ every time I walk by... it's like the Gary Larson cartoon where the large woman in front of the candy store is being sucked in by a huge hurricane from within the store... the only thing that is keeping her out is her holding onto a parking meter while her body is flying in the wind! Well, that's me when I walk by Collage. You just want to check EVERYTHING out... Fun energy... lovely things... something for all! read more

Found this little gem of a boutique while waiting for 3 hour breakfast line at Plow. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the sounds of my favorite 40's jazz music & the sweetest owner who is just a DOLL! My daughters love the goodies I brought home for them & I can't wait to bring them back to shop more! Thank you ... XO read more

COLLAGE - Art Galleries Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is one of the best places in the city to find unusual and unique gifts including vintage clocks, jewelry made from typewriter keys, teeny paintings of cakes and more...! All the artists featured are local and fabulous and the prices are very reasonable. Charming and Fun. read more

This place is amazing. You should really start in one corner and inspect til you can inspect no more and then move about a foot and do it over again. The Collage Gallery has been around for over 15 years and houses artwork, jewelry, and revamped antiques by local artists around the bay. Looking for a vintage purse to take to the opera? Or a unique pair of type-writer key earrings? This is your spot. Knick-knackers, welcome to heaven. read more

I live in Potrero Hill and I know it's a bit out of the way, but if you're looking for a unique gift in any price range, Collage Gallery is a great place. The salespeople are extremely helpful and knowledgeable of various items. There's all kinds of neat stuff, little boxes, candles, glasses and tons of unique jewelry. Some antiques as well. Again, a beautiful little store to buy something special. read more

This place is so fabulous. They have the most unique & fun jewelry. This is a great spot a lot to check out. I gave my husband a card and told him this is a great place to buy me gifts :) A must see when visiting the Portola area. read more

Collage has some beautiful and unusual gifts, particularly in the jewelry, objets d'art, and accessories areas. While I do better price-wise in my forays to flea markets and thrift stores, Collage comes through, particularly in the last-minute moments where you need something cool, unique, thoughtful, and arty. It makes one look not last minute at all! They wrap gifts oh-so-tastefully, and that helps with the gulp factor when you realize how much you spent in just twenty minutes. read more

After having lunch up the street, popped into collage to have a look around. Marvelous store with various wares by local artists. Loved the selection of vintage clocks, flashlights, and photos. A great choice for finding a fun gift (in case you've run out of ideas)! read more

Terribly dirty store with horrible customer service with cheap items :-( Your local thrift store has a way better selection.

Collage Gallery has a FABULOUS selection of vintage purses (they carry a lot of 1980's Dooney and Burke and Coach, in particular) that are in great condition and are reasonably priced. The clothing selection seems to have shifted into higher-end, plainer vintage clothing that I don't find as interesting as the range they had a few years ago...but still, they sell good quality vintage, plus some pretty neat locally designed new clothing and jewelry. While some items are a bit expensive, the store is really worth checking out--especially if you are looking for a new purse! read more

I've lived on Potrero Hill for 14 years, and Collage Gallery has always been a great go-to for gifts! Featuring local artists, this shop features Artwork, Furniture as well as hand crafted jewelry and other fun gift items. Whether I need a last minute interesting and memorable housewarming gift for my clients or a pretty present for my Mom or kitschy keepsake for a gal pal, Collage Gallery never disappoints. Many of the artistic features in my own home are from this special spot. Parking is easy breezy, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the inventory which changes frequently so there is always something new and interesting! Supporting local artists is part of my way of life, and Collage inspires me to make non-chainstore choices and go for the unique while supporting the local talent! read more

Beautiful clothes and objects d'art. Very reasonable pricing. Gorgeous things... Nice help.

This is a great place for all manner of knick knacks and objets d'art. It has some really neat things to spiff up your home. The staff are super nice too, and they will bend over backwards to make sure you're happy. Check it out! read more

Another unique Potrero Hill place to browse and shop. At first glance, I was drawn to some rather pricey attractive items - they feature artwork and jewelry and 'stuff' by local artists - but then I was just drawn in to every little thing they had to offer! They have cute little things everywhere, and while you want to go from one side of the store to the next, when something catches your eye, you also want to just take in every little inch of the space, and make your way around the entire store - no major square footage, but I literally found myself walking around, perusing the gallery, as if just observing little works of art. They have little typewriter keys and scrabble pieces sold individually... read more

There's all kinds of cool stuff packed into this little shop. You know all that overpriced kitch Anthropologie sells? Well you can get pretty similar stuff at Collage Gallery, most of which is less expensive than Anthropologie. They also have jewelry. I just bought a couple of necklaces from Collage Gallery, one of which I am extra stoked on. I wasn't sure at first if the salesgirl was pushy - but I think she just sincerely wanted to be helpful - which she was. read more

I recently picked up a wonderful mirror from here.I love it super interesting shop full of little surprises ill be back awesome read more

lucky me, I live down the street from this little treasure trove. it's the best place to pick up some locally designed jewelery, home decor items like prints, wall letters, vintage cameras, candles or typewriter letters. And I've always found it a great place to buy quirky birthday gift sat the last minute.( Don't look at me like that. You know you've done it too). The staff is helpful and will wrap gifts for you as well. read more

I really love this place. The owner is great and loves her items as much as I do. I got some great little vintage bike license plates that are now happily hanging on my trike. The prices were fair and there are many cute items the shop. Will definitely be going back for a second time to see what treasures I can find. read more

Loved this store and the woman who runs it. Great place to grab a gift for some or just for yourself. Very small, but jam-packed with an eclectic mix of jewlery, accessories, posters, furniture, perfume, etc. Lots of the jewelry and accessories are located in antique-y looking chest of drawers, which makes the shop fun to explore. read more

Now I know where to go to find a unique gift. Needed some gifts for my neice and was pleasantly surprised they helped me find something unique for them. Great customer service and great stuff! What more can you ask for? read more

This store has so much to offer. Everytime I go in there I buy something. I love their Jewelry selection. Also, I love how the jewelry is by local artists. There is always something new. Open up drawers and you find all kinds of goodies. I was impressed by the amount of stuff for both men and women. The best part is there is new stuff every time. Dont miss the special trunk shows either. It is fun to meet the designers. I have bought candles, dishes, cups, bracelets, necklaces, rings, trinkets. Just amazing. It is definitely worth it to stop by. read more
