    Such a cute and dainty shop! A bunch of vintage items such as authentic postcards (with real letters written on them), as well as jewelry and other accessories! A few downsides to this place is the size... if busy, you will have to be almost shoulder to shoulder w others. As I mentioned, it is for sure DAINTY dainty. Another downside is that there are not many ring sizes to accommodate those who have bigger fingers. A variety of adjustable rings would have been greatly appreciated! My friend felt a little discouraged that none of the rings she liked fit her.. overall, a very cute shop to visit and definitely a beautiful array of different kinds of jewelry however just a more versatile range of ring sizes would make this place perfectttt.

    Very eclectic shop. It had sooooo many little trinkets and jewlery. We tried to spend more time here but it's so small it was hard to squeeze by another person. I felt like a giant in there. But cool spot to explore.

    This spot is great to stop by with friends or on your own! There are many items such as rings, charms, stickers, and other random little things that you can gift to others or yourself.

    Super unique shop you should definitely check out! Lots of cool items of all different kinds. I loved looking at the jewelry and crystals. This is definitely a great spot to shop for a one-of-a-kind gift or gather some inspiration if you're artsy. I thought the prices were really good, and staff were nice.

    Cute store front, but when I went inside it immediately felt like a hoarders house and felt claustrophobic. A lot of random knick knacks - jewelry hanging from the ceiling, retro candy (think those gummy hamburgers ), vintage stamps, magic cards, etc. Might be interesting for some folks, but it was a miss for me.

    Fun little spot to get lost in. Found out about this place on TikTok and decided to check it out with friends. TONSSSSS of jewelry and trinkets to check out with very reasonable prices. Laid back staff is there is help if you have any questions but also perfectly curates the vibes with their music selection. A fun place to shop or just hang out and look around.

    Such a cool place! This was my first time going and I loved everything in the shop! I was able to get charms to make an Italian Charm Bracelet and it was great!

    Very cute little spot. It is very small so it was hard to get around. They have plenty of jewelry, pins, old photographs, postcards.

    Visited Paisley Vintage for two reasons - 1) because I've been in need of a good thrift and 2) to…read morefind a dope Coachella fit. What really sets Paisley apart as a thrift / vintage store is both the quality of their store and their selection of apparel. I feel like thrift and vintage stores can come off as dirty but Paisley is very well lit, incredibly clean, and neatly organized. Clothing and accessories are separated both by gender and by type of clothing. The selection is always changing too. We had a chance to briefly talk with one of the owners, and he told us that if you keep up with their Instagram, they're always restocking new items and showcasing it. For my Coachella fit, I ended up getting this really nice pair of North Face snow suspenders but there was also a pair of cargo pants that really caught my eye that I got as well. The staff are friendly and there are fitting rooms to try on the clothes.

The warm and modern decor is welcoming and a nice change from the vintage thrift store vibe. One side is men's and the other side is women's with racks of t-shirts and good quality sweatshirts blending in between. Lots of cool and quirky baseball caps line the top shelves with some vintage comic books and other vintage paraphanelia welcoming a good browse. Very nicely and carefully curated good quality pieces. So refreshing to stop by for a quick thrift stop while in town!

    They POSITIVELY need to Double Bag " Beadable Items " !!!…read more I love this li'l THRIFT STORE, and Especially the " Charitable Causes ' they Support ' !!! Have been shopping wiith them since the Mid '90's in SF !!! Also am not too crazy about the Goodwill in El Cerrito which leaves this Store to browse, Re-use & Re-Cycle !!!!!! Luckily the Cashier warned me to be Extra Careful as I exited the Store having bought 2 Ceramic Plates and 2 Bowls... Maybe Taller Grocery type Handled " Paper Bagd would be Ideal.... From what I've been hearing from merchants locally ' Berkeley has Banned PLASTIC Shopping Bags !!! Their Wares and the Selection are Awesome although ' QUITE STEEP PRICES ' on Used Crockery I thought. Selections are Always Quite Charming & I do hope the Store remains in Business !!!!!! Am a Senior with a DISABILITY, and arriving home the Paper Bag Tore Badly even as I went to retrieve it from the Floorboard of My Car !!! Was a Chore tryin' to " Ascend a Flight of about 12 wooden risers and Guarding the Contents !!! He was kind and thoughtful enough to ask if I'd like the " Crockery " wrapped in Newspaper !!! The 10% Senior Discount helps a lot !!!!! Five Stars for "" SELECTION & 3 for Packagong Breakables = 4 STARS !!! Workers are " Always Polite " !!!!!!

    I want to support a good cause, but the price gouging is unforgivable. You can find items for HALF…read morethe price online, they are up charging like crazy and one google will show that. On top of that, there aren't any fitting rooms and zero return policy so they charge $60 for a dress you have to guess if it'll fit. They get everything for free and then turn it over for a huge mark up. Unfair to everyone all around, and shame on them for "being for a good cause" and making it unaffordable for those who want to support them. Used to love this location especially, but have to give it up since I can get everything for SO much cheaper anywhere else. Do better, you're for charity, don't forget your roots.

    I discovered this thrift shop by accident when I found a Kate Spade mini tote bag from their shop…read moreon Etsy. I haven't been to the physical location in Oakland but would like to one day. They did a great job packing and quickly shipping the tote bag. The purchase was kind of funny for a couple reasons. One, I thought it was a vintage bag because I didn't know you could resell newer items on Etsy that are not handmade. It looked vintage to me, so I didn't question it, but it turned out the bag is from a few years ago. No big deal. Second, I didn't pay attention to the bag's measurements or the word "mini" in the title. I had to laugh when I took it out of the box. It's so tiny. It looks like it will maybe fit my phone, wallet, keys, and that's about it. I was expecting it to be much bigger, but that's totally my fault for not paying attention. The tote bag is in excellent new condition with the tag still attached. It also came with a detachable long strap. I'm not sure what I will do with it because its teeny size feels too small for me, but it's an awfully cute bag.
