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!

"NO DONATIONS FOR YOU!"…read more I've donated and shopped at Out of the Closet Berkeley for years, but after today's experience, not sure i'll be back. Around 3:45 PM on Halloween, I was chatting with another customer about a keyboard he was about to donate. Before he could even hand it over, the woman handling donations grabbed it and declared, "Too late, it's already donated!" When I tried to explain, she snapped, "Too bad, it's too late." Really disappointing customer service, especially at a donation center.

I finally got over to stuff vintage modern on San Pablo…read more Definitely an unusual find in these days. It's organized by vendor. Each vendor has their own little space to display their items. Everything in the store is vintage, collectible, hard to find, and everything is fantastic! I went in there because I am decorating my bathroom in a vintage owl theme and I found three things that I can put on the wall and they turned out to be perfect in my space. Definitely come here if you have something in mind that you're looking for, they just might have it

This store has a huge selection of everything you ever wanted. So many clothes, so much jewelry, a plethora of housewares & furniture, lots of vinyl, artwork, etc. The prices varied; there were definitely bargains but also high end items. The gentleman that was working there was friendly and helpful. The music was a delightful accompaniment. They have a private parking lot.

From Miffy bags to Miffy keychains, they source some super cute pieces from abroad, and my sister, friend, and I, all have cute Miffy bags from here! Also, the owner, Tristan, is super nice and helpful - really couldn't recommend more for a great vintage (and Miffy!) shopping experience!

But on a good day, the staff will compliment your outfit, and items you've found. Decent selection, but I'm not sure how frequently they are restocking. I've not yet sold with this location but see people doing so, and the buyers seem to have a discerning eye. The Wardrobe Project also hosts a monthly Rockridge flea "The Wardrobe Project Flea" which hosts over 100 vendors, where you're sure to find something from all local sellers and some who travel in from LA. Plus, handmade products as well. This College Ave location is the everyday stop when you need to grab anything from vintage starter jackets, I've gotten retro J.Crew pieces here in additions to Y2K Nike pieces. Try them out if you're on the block. Parking can be busy, but there are 2hr free spots on the nearest block where the store is. It's also independently owned by a young cool duo. So, that's always nice.

From a buyers perspective it's 10 out of 10. From a sellers perspective it's 1 out of 10. They pay you 5% from it's original value or so when you sell here.

And the store price is usually $12.

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.

Unlike some resale stores where the racks are crammed together, there's actually room to browse and look through the inventory comfortably. A huge plus is that you can join the selling waitlist from your phone before arriving. My tip: wait until there are only a couple of people ahead of you before heading over so you don't spend extra on parking. I've also sold at the College Avenue location and found Shattuck to be a much better experience overall. Parking was easier, the store felt less crowded, and I thought the men's selection was noticeably stronger. There are lots of consignment options these days, but I received a good amount in store credit for my son's clothes and left happy. I'll definitely be back.
