Visited Paisley Vintage for two reasons - 1) because I've been in need of a good thrift and 2) to find 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. read more

This shop just a stone's throw from the University and downtown Berkeley is an absolute gem of a find. Be forewarned however, blink and you'll miss it! 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! read more

I'll be honest: I've been gatekeeping this place from my Berkeley friends for the past year. The store just opened up in 2021, and it's only gotten better with time. Paisley's collection is incredibly curated with a focus on 90s and Y2K styles, though there's still enough of a variety even if those aren't your favorite fashion eras. They also restock items every single day, which is very refreshing. The best part about Paisley Vintage is definitely the prices. I've been thrifting in the Berkeley area for a while now, and while other stores' collections are great, they're usually overpriced. Paisley's prices are great for the quality of the items; most of the items have gotten here have been under $25. The most expensive piece I've ever gotten from here was an amazing pair of Columbia ski pants--perfect fit, perfect condition for just $40-- that would've easily gone for over $100 at any other vintage store in the area. Aside from the prices, what keeps me coming back is how cute the store is and how friendly the staff are. It's a family-run small business, and they sell handmade plushies crocheted by the owners' sister. You can always expect a friendly conversation with whoever's at the counter when you walk in! At this point, nearly a quarter of my closet has been sourced from Paisley Vintage. They're one of the best new businesses in town, so be sure to show up and support!! read more

If you're like me and love vintage clothing, but hate how taxed they can get -- look no further because y'all... This place is for the people fr! The prices are incredibly affordable compared to most of the other shops in Berkeley. I've also talked to the owners Michael and Kevin often because they're so friendly and transparent about their process. They wash everything before putting it out and make sure it's in good condition. Half of my closet is from Paisley at this point. Ever since I stumbled upon their grand opening in August 2021, I end up grabbing something cute every time I leave. Their curation is impeccable. There is definitely something for everyone -- work jackets, chore coats, hoodies, nature tees, car tees, y2k baby tees, floral midi skirts, leather jackets, patterned fleeces, knit vests, utility pants. Guys I am telling you, this is the hidden gem!! Also, if you want to see what they're putting out for the day, they unfailingly post their daily restocks on their Instagram @paisleyvtg . Plus they do one day holds or venmo purchases if you dm them so it's really convenient. Definitely check them out if you're a vintage lover in the area, or just need a new fit in general. The atmosphere is always great here! :) read more

It's like opening a Pandora's Box of 90's and Y2K. I am turning 30 in March so to go with my party theme of "90s and Hyphy" we went on a walking tour of the thrift stores of Berkeley. I am upset this was our last stop as I wouldn't have bought anything at the prior stores, so by the time we got here my wallet had been exhausted! Clean, boutiquey vibe on the inside. Music was poppin. Racks of tees, organized by color, vintage on vintage. Saw some vintage SJ Sharks-wear, and sweaters and lined "shackets" at the front... Other leather goods, and the nostalgia almost knocked me out. I had to fight so hard not to buy one as I've been SEARCHING for a 90s-style plaid, lined, flannel jacket. OG Pokemon stickers and other 90s paraphernalia were on the shelves above the clothing racks. At the front it looks like they're selling some knit characters.. the ones of interest to me were the Snorlax and my memory is failing me but I think it was a Keropi. I need to be back. Just followed them on IG. See you on payday! LOL! read more

I would highly recommend coming here! The owner Michael is nice and the store is really clean. All of the clothing was sorted by color and it was very well organized. We liked looking through all the racks, all of the clothes were great quality and there was something there for everyone. The prices were also extremely fair. I will definitely come back the next time I am in Berkeley! read more

this is literally the perfect thrift store. I went with my new roommates and it was such a fun store! The quality of all the clothes were in amazing condition and the owners are so kind. The prices are amazing considering the products. I loved the music in the store and overall the whole vibe. I will definitely go again and find more cute clothes to wear!! read more

I have shopped here for awhile now, no I don't always find items but that's normal.

His sister makes these crochet type stuffed plush, so CUTE, read more

My boyfriend and I were heading to get boba and around the corner was this cute little vintage shop. Walked in and got greeted with a grand opening promo card which was super sweet. Definitely loved the atmosphere and found some cute tops and got a pair of jeans for a great price, especially with the promo discount. My boyfriend was also able to find a nice jacket, so the store had a wide variety of clothing for everyone. When we checked out, the owners were super cool and were kind enough to tell us about the curated clothes and how they've been collecting for years. It was super nice shopping in the small family owned clothing store because the guys seemed very down to earth. I'm definitely coming back and I recommend this business to anyone strolling through Berkeley. read more

Paisley Vintage - organized clothes and you can see my boyfriend was invested in everything :) - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Berkeley, California

Very cool vintage clothing store, went in to check out the stock while I was showing a prospective student around the campus. Definitely got the impression that the selection here is very well curated, and you can probably find an article of vintage clothing that fits whatever style you are going for. I have been in an athletic style lately so I got a 2003 golf tee shirt. Now that I have followed their instagram, I can keep up with the stock and possibly go in again when I see something I like. read more

I am a huge fan of vintage clothing and antiques shopping, and I am always on the lookout for new spots around the Bay. I absolutely love Paisley Vintage. Their collection is highly curated and the layout of the store is very chic, which makes the shopping experience more inviting. I am particularly a fan of their sweaters. I find that it is so hard to find good quality sweaters for a reasonable price in our modern world of mass produced cheaply made clothing, and I think this is particularly true of sweaters. Paisley Vintage has all sorts of really fun gems. I have purchased several sweaters from them now, including a 100% wool sweater from the 1950s, a unique handwoven musical note sweater from the 1980s, and a vintage wool Disney sweater, also from the 1980s. All sweaters were under $50 each and most fall within the $20-$30 range. Paisley Vintage is now my go to spot for sweaters, which will be perfect for the fall weather right around the corner. read more

This is a new vintage shop that just opened and the store was very organized and there was so many great selections for a really good price. They offer customer discounts and the staff was so cool and friendly! Definitely check it out if you are in the Berkeley area! read more

Paisley is an awesome place to shop! More often than not I try and buy clothing that is reasonably priced and environmentally friendly, and Paisley offers just that. Since all the clothes are older and have had previous owners, none of it is fast fashion, and on top of that all of it is in style. Definitely check it out if you're in the Bay Area read more

I heard about the newest vintage shop in Berkeley and decide to go with my friend. Wow! I was really impressed by their wide array of Graphic T's - I walked out with a sweet 90s Warner brothers T/animaniacs. Really recommend checking out this shop if you're in need of some new clothes read more

I'm hesitant to leave a review and expose how great this spot is but Paisley deserves all the recognition. First off, my partner & I are from the South Bay and there aren't too many consignment stores here, and the ones we have are SUPER overpriced. We stumbled into this little gem on accident after a meal around the corner and have been loyal customers since. Reasonably priced items + great quality vintage gems keep us coming back. The owner, Michael is an honest person who also takes the time to get to know his customers. If you're in Berkeley, honestly skip Indigo, crossroads, or any other curated vintage stores and do yourself a favor and stop by Paisley! You won't regret it! read more

Awesome store with 80s/90s vintage styles. My husband and I both love popping into this store every time we're in downtown Berkeley. It's got just the right amount of stuff- not too packed or sparse- and the selection is great. Check it out! read more

We discovered this store upon its grand opening and have had luck finding cute things ever since. Thank you Michael for the hospitality and getting cool stuff to bring into the shop. We'll definitely be back! read more
