Stopped by Dope Era out in Downtown Oakland didn't end up buying anything this time, but it was dope just to experience the space. There's something powerful about seeing a whole store curated by Mistah F.A.B., a real Bay Area old school rapper. The energy in there reflects the culture, the hustle, and the pride of the Town. Even without a purchase, just being in that environment was a reminder of how deep bay roots go. Much respect to Fab for creating something authentic that reps the Bay the right way. I'll definitely be back. Might have to grab some gear next round. read more

Mistah Fab was in the building.! It was good seeing him and Unc. I enjoy supporting my local family bizznesses, especially during this time when companies are struggling to stay open. Also, bizz that support their community in a positive light, continuously giving back. No price tags out, but you also don't ask how much those foreign brands are either. We purchased 2 sling bags and a DE sweatsuit. Just a side note: you never know what someone is going through. Sometimes ask people how they are even if you don't know them; even a smile. It can make all of the difference. Fab did that for me.. and I appreciated him for it. I'll come back for the black sling! read more

Dope Era - Sling backpacks! - Women's Clothing Near Me - Oakland, California

Date: 2/23/2020 Time: 12:15 PM 54° Mostly sunny One of my FB buddies (Cullen B) mentioned Dope Era on his news feed page about two years ago. The old location was 45th & Market Streets, Oakland (North Oakland, babe). I never made it to their shop, but they moved it on up to not uptown but downtown Oakland. If one is an OG Oaktown native or even an OG from the neighboring cities (Berkeley, Emeryville, Richmond, etc.), one knows what I'm talkin' about. Uptown is what it's called now, but this OG still refers to this neck of the wood as downtown. Ya feel me? Ya hear me? LOL Dope Era is located in a space which was once the old Li Wan Chinese Restaurant over 40 years ago. Thereafter, The Hat Guys had their business here, too. I have to admit there were some nice dress hats for men. Move forward to the present. One of my daughter's friends brought me into Dope Era on the day of the third annual Black Joy Parade. Oh, man, this place is hella dope! The friend told me to get something; he was giving me the hookup. Hey, hey!! I'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth! I selected an ESO purple & gold baseball cap. I gotta rep the East Side and my high school, Oakland Tech. I told the gentleman helping us that. Lo and behold! He's from Tech CO'2000. It's no wonder he had those purple and gold chaises in the shop. I wouldn't doubt it if he and Marshawn (Beastmode) are good friends. Their businesses are similar in concept - clothing for men, women and children. Looking for a Black Panther Party (est. 1966) tee shirt? Don't look any further. Dope Era carries those tees. Customer service was on point - friendly, helpful and professional. I did not have a whole lotta cash on me and I usually don't pull out the plastic and say charge it. Definitely I will return to browse and shop when I have beaucoup cash in one of my compartments of my crossbody bag. Drawback: Street parking can be difficult, being that it is Downtown Oakland. Garage parking is available around the corner on 19th & Franklin Streets. Public transportation is close by: AC Transit and BART. read more

YAY AREAAAA! My cuzzo told me that Mistah FAB's shop opened up. We checked it on our way to the museum. Here was our experience on a Sunday afternoon. Ambiance: Parking | Really depends on the time/day and if there are events happening. Generally all street parking and lots. Feels | I had a unique and minimal experience but still a positive one. Surroundings is in the outter rim of downtown so you're still surrounded near the festivities. The space itself was pretty spacious and well decorated. You walk in and you know they're hella proud of the Bay Area. Products: From the limited content I saw, I dig the creativity and the pop culture reference. I need to come back though. Customer Service: Though there was event going on but the guard was respectful, friendly and accommodating rather than just shutting us down. Overall: 4.5 Stars | Solid spot. Good vibes, reasonable price and dope designs. I can see myself coming back here. What was pretty cool is that the event that was hosted/closed down for was a financial literacy workshop for the community...gotta give props for that. For those that are in need of some Bay Area gear, this is the spot. Advice: * Check online for their stuff too read more

Dope Era - I got North, got the East, got the West with me... - Women's Clothing Near Me - Oakland, California

So I go in here and ask the guy who's working if they have the Alien sweatshirt. The response I got was from the salesperson, was if I asked him if he likes to put foot shavings on his sandwich. This guy was beyond rude. He tells me to show him where I seen it (the sweatshirt). I show him the pic and he retorts "nah that ain't us". I'm just like Vanessa Williams (Saving the best for last! This dude then takes my phone out of my hand walks in the back and shows the picture to some guy back "there". I was incredulous this guy took my phone without asking and walked off. Ain't right, all kinds of bad could have came from that, so I just bounced. No sense in turning into a black Karen and ask for the manager Don't ever have to worry about me coming back and recommend you put your phone away when you in there. Or it might get lit up in that camp! read more

I love fabs music and always been a fan. There quality of clothing is bad, there graphics start chipping and fading over time, constantly shrinking as well while always washing and drying correctly. I hate to say but This photo should be a embarrassment to fab and his company. I spoke to a city worker about it and all they have to do is ask to clean the bird poop for free. No other business on Broadway looked like this. Too funny. read more

Dope Era - I spoke to a city worker and the city will clean this for free if they ask - Women's Clothing Near Me - Oakland, California

Clothes were dope, with a lot of different options. I was helped by Mistah F.A.B. Himself, which was a nice Bonus while finally visiting his store (along with seeing his cute puppy), as I have been following him and his Uncle for quite awhile now on IG. read more

Dope! Support local and stop by here for all the fly gear. My son really liked his black and white Dope Era sweatsuit ($200 + tax). He said it's really thick and warm. He'll wear the hoodie with jeans sometimes to switch up his look. I personally like the trendy t-shirts and stylish baseball hats. They have men's, women's and kid clothes. Occasionally you can find a free in store music session or listening event. Gotta love that this store provides that for local artists. read more

Man, I hate to write this because of all the amazing things they do..... but I ordered a t shirt almost 3 months ago June 23, got a confirmation, and it still hasn't even been shipped. I have emailed customer service once a month with no response, DM on IG with no response. The only thing I haven't done is go to the store to complain in person... because in all their store and travel videos not many people are in masks :( I really wanted to start buying more from them, I'm so sad, but this has been a bad experience and I wanted to share. Yes, I have ordered things during covid from all over the country and waited longer than usual, but nothing like this, especially with 0 customer service :( read more

Excellent customer service. Joked around a little with the guy working in the store and he even gave me a discount for having to wait while he checked in the back for a shirt I liked in the size I wanted. As I was leaving I realized it was Mistah F.A.B. himself helping me out the whole time! Lol. So of course I had to get a hug and a picture. Dope Era, dope dude. Everybody go!!! read more

The people working at the DOPE ERA appreciate it when we patronize the store. You can shop at your leisure. It seems to me that when I am wearing my DOPE ERA mask and I encounter someone else wearing a DOPE ERA mask, we acknowledge our brand loyalty. And I acknowledge that by wearing our masks, we are protecting ourselves and others. It is a cool mask to wear since we have to wear one. read more

Not too familiar with this brand and first and LAST time at the store. Not down to support any business that does not include customer service and plain courtesy as a part of their values. I bought a shirt at Hiero as a gift for my son and finally saw him today to give it to him. First thing he does is look at the size and says nope, he needs a size bigger. We happen to be 2 blocks from the store so I stop by. I ask if I can exchange it. I also mentioned that I saw another T-shirt he would like and dude asked which I wanted. I decided to stick with what I originally got and would come back for another. Dude goes in the back for several minutes and comes back and says he "can't find the size". So I say, ok can I get a different one? He puts the shirt up to his face like an oxygen mask and says it smells "like a buncha perfume". WTF?? First off, what is a buncha perfume?? And second the shirt has never been worn unless they sell used clothing. It was OBVIOUS the shirt had never been worn..it still had the damn fold lines! This shit ain't my style but my son likes it and I wanted to support. I'm f'ng COOL "bruh". read more

They are nice in dope era and have great clothing. I even found my mask there! Definitely recommend.

First off customer service is exceptional and the store is well organized. Finally got to take my granddaughter to DOPE ERA. She was so overwhelmed with emotion just being in the store and knowing what it stands. I bought her a white sweatsuit and she can't wait t go back and shop. read more

I went to the Dope Era store expecting an experience. I walked in and it said it was open, no lights were on no customer service. The checkout area was cluttered with alot of stuff even somebody lunch was at the counter. The clothing in the store isn't the same clothing folks wear online. With such a massive brand in the bay area, I left the store puzzled. Puzzled thats a store in a major location such as the Dope Era was ran this way. I can only imagine the amount of money they are missing out on. IDK Maybe I misunderstood the brand message. Maybe all the things ive describe are the things that makes up the Dope Era brand. read more

In the store only 10 minutes, car window busted and bags stolen, smfh not going back, location is n the super hood,

Half of my closet is full of Dope Era clothing. Quality clothes by a quality business owner. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for unique fashion items, dope t shirts, they have great women's and kids stuff too. All of their designs are unique and have a pleasing aesthetic. I shop here as often as possible and have been for a couple years now. Thanks Mistah Fab! read more

Great black owned business. The staff was surprisingly very friendly, the store had a uplifting & positive energy to it. Store smelled amazing & clean, the platform is designed simple unlike most boutiques with too many racks of clothes on the sales floor can be overwhelming but not this place made my shopping experience so easy. I wish there was more women's clothing but I personally went to support black owned business so regardless of the limited designs I was ready to spend a little money. When I came in Mistah fab was talking to a young boy about never giving up on your dreams. I didn't mean to ease drop in the conversation but couldn't help myself. Thank you for being positive outlook to our young black men & women. If your every around the area this is a place you must stop in even if it's just to catch a good vibe read more

Wanted to stop by and support get some Era merch. Store experience was nice people were respectful, not a lot of staff and A little unprofessional but okay experience... do not park in the street. Gone for 10 min and Your Window Will Get Broken and your shit will be stolen. Leave someone in the car or find a parking lot you pay for read more

I was extremely excited to come back to the O to visit the Dope Era store. Unfortunately it wasn't a pleasant experience at all. I was so hyped to get there I was 45 minutes late early. I went and checked out some other shops anxiously awaiting for the store to open. I walked up about 12:05 and the store was still closed. Shortly after a man came to open the store. I waited off to the side so he didn't feel rushed. After about 5 minutes I came back the other he door and it was still locked. The guy that opened the store was eating some food. He proceeded to open the door and allow my wife and I in. The store looks amazing. I was in awe of the setup. As my wife and I walked around taking it all in I caught a few items that I wanted to purchase. Upon touching the clothing the guy that was working told me not to touch the clothes. I was taken back and paused for a moment to comprehend what I was being told. My wife was on the other end of the store checking out a sweatsuit and was told not to unfold the shirts. This confirmed the comment that was made to me earlier. I know I don't shop that often but I have never heard of not being allowed to touch the merchandise that you are looking at purchasing. To make a long story short and a short story long, it turned me off and I walked out disappointed and disrespected. I know Fabby is all about Black Love but it definitely wasn't in felt in the store today. read more
