Customer service & a warm smile still exists at Unincorporated & that's what I love about local stores. Since my brother moved to CV, I decided to gift him the Unincorpoated T-shirt & hat. He loves it! Today I stopped by to get my daughter her high school zip up hoodie. It's great to be able to buy her High School logo hoodie off season & the owner says some of the proceeds goes back to the high school, so that is wonderful to hear. In hopes of supporting local businesses' like these, I hope Unincorporated stays afloat for years to come.

If you're looking for, what can only be defined as, post-gorp-core clothing, this is the spot to go to. You won't find any clothing stores even remotely close to it in the Bay Area.

My new go-to spot for jeans shopping!!…read more Before shopping at Maple Street, I'd never had an experience trying on jeans that didn't have me on the verge of tears afterwords. That was, until I stopped into Maple Street. The owner and staff are INCREDIBLY knowledgeable about their stock and how to solve common problems about fit that femme bodies run into with jeans. I've never shopped at such an uplifting, body-positive space before-- the attitude the entire time they helped me find my perfect pair was never that my body was the problem, the jeans just weren't the right cut for what I wanted! If you're looking for a quality pair of jeans picked out with the help of experts, look no further.

I recently picked up a pair of Rolling Dub Trio shoes, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Eden-Marcel went above and beyond.

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.

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.

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

The store is spacious and clean. Parking is a pain as it is located downtown. I love the shirt display as soon as you enter. In the back they have a dressing room for your convenience and also gear from other local artists. The young man who helped us provided great service and was knowledgeable about the product. The telephone booth is super cute to take photos. The prices are a little steep, but you really can't find a shop like this that has the bay gear and quality. I can't wait to wear my sweatshirt!

Been a hot minute since coming into Oaklandish and walking into feels less like shopping and more…read morelike stepping into culture. The walls speak in bold prints and clean lines, telling stories of the Town and the Bay period. Every thread feels made of quality. Every piece is statement wear fasho. From classic logo tees to those lowkey designs only real Townfolk recognize, Oaklandish will have you repping the town without you saying a word. It's for the born and raised, the newly arrived, and the ones who carry Oakland in their soul, no matter where they go. I'm not an Oakland native, but I got a lot of family from Oakland. I didn't purchase anything cause they didn't have one piece in my color but it's all good. Everything is fairly priced and they have a nice selection for everyone. The one employee was hella chill and down to earth. Oaklandish isn't just a brand, it's a bridge like the Bay Bridge. Between past and present. Between hustle and heritage. Stay rooted. Stay lifted. Stay Oaklandish!!! Shoutout to the Town.
