Update: I've taken away stars because the "owner" or whoever the woman is who does the buying is seriously rude. I've been in many times since my initial 5 star review and the other employee is wonderfully sweet, but this lady literally scowled at me and didn't even greet me as I came in anytime that I've seen her in the store. When I asked her about selling some (very beautiful, classic dresses) she scoffed and said they were too full. Ok...that doesn't mean you get to be rude! And it's not just once, it's every time I see her. How do you run a business and be so off-putting and act like that every time I see you? read more

Love this woman owned business and not just cause the owner is named Aimee! There is a store in downtown Eureka and one on the historic Arcata Plaza. I've bought so many amazing things here over the years including awesome socks (she's got one of the best selections around), candles, sweet snap down shirts for the husband, locally made earrings for me and some amazing vintage bar ware and cocktail glasses. Highly recommend when you need a gift for yourself or others. read more

lady on the phone didnt have good customer service and was rude, and you cannot return items or exchange for items they will only buy it back for a cheap price scam. read more

Shipwreck is a little jewel of a store. The owner, Aimee has a great aesthetic, and her carefully curated assortment of vintage and hand made treasures is the antidote to everything that's wrong with mass produced, low quality, unoriginal wares. My treasured Italian leather purse and plum colored Calvin Klein dress are two of my favorite finds from Shipwreck. I also love their selection of jewelry, soaps, socks, dishtowels and all manner of pretty, fun, and unexpected gift items. A visit to this quirky and sweet shop always brightens my day. read more

Used to love this place... Had a terrible experience attempting to sell clothes to this establishment, which prompted me to write this review. Went in today with a small bag of high-quality (some designer) garments. The woman working at the register went through my clothing and made me an offer. I thought the offer was a little low, so, I politely asked for one of the more expensive pieces back (thinking I could sell it on Ebay instead). The woman made a 30-second recalculation after removing the expensive item and made me a new offer. I accepted, but, then she decided to rescind the offer altogether and gave me all of my clothes back on the basis that I had "inconvenienced" her with the recalculation. She acted like she was doing me a favor by buying my clothes. It's a business transaction; Shipwrecked makes money off of the clothes they buy, so, it's hardly a favor. I had every right to politely ask for my jacket back. Not sure if she owns the shop but this woman's bad attitude definitely cost the store $$ today and likely in the future as I don't plan to shop at this establishment again. read more

She will cheat you out of your clothes then not pay you the full amount. Had to correct her twice and she still wasn't honest. Don't waste your time here. Go to little shop of hers around the corner!!! Better selection and honest!!! read more

My favorite vintage and consignment store. I never leave empty handed. Clean, well curated, always new things. Great staff and local goods.

High quality vintage with price tags to match. I appreciate how well curated this shop is. It's a good place to splurge on a gift for a friend if I don't have time to craft for them myself. I also go here to source specific items I am willing to up-pay for (leather gloves & a bi-fold pocket wallet). Crafty thrifting bitches will be all, like "what a cute shop! I would never pay this much for stuff I can make or source for myself"; Urban vintage mavens will be all, like "omg! This is the best little vintage shop, ever! Let me ring up $200 worth of cute stuff right now and tell everyone how great this place is!" Fatshion girls will be all, like "omg! Cute stuff. I guess I'll just buy these earrings or a kitchen accessory" Plus... Now they carry a full spread of saltwater sandals. So yes, by all means, spend your money at this Staple of a Local shop! read more

There's something cute here for everyone! Pleasant staff and pretty awesome prices considering the other shops in the area and how fabulous everything they sell is. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for new accessories! read more

I know I'm in trouble, whenever I walk through Shipwreck's door, not because the prices are unreasonable (they aren't!)...but because of the SHEER AMOUNT of fabulous vintage dresses that are packed in such a tiny space. Seriously--they have such an awesome selection, I always go a little nuts. It's like some kinda weird feeding frenzy of Must-Haves! They also have a great collecton of vintage household items, awesome jewelry, and beautiful fascinators and floral haircombs made by local artist and musician Jeeze Louise. I can't recommend this charming little shop highly enough! read more

Great store filled with funky vintage clothes & accessories. Some cool gifty stuff like novelty candles, bath & body products, cards & other random goodies. Beautiful earrings, prints, and shirts made by local artists. The owner and employees are all super helpful and sweet. Go check it out read more

This is a little gem of a vintage shop. The prices are super reasonable. I got a dress for $18 and my 2 yo picked a little fox for $6. We got some groovy heart shades for $14. We will happily stop here every time we visit Eureka. read more

Shipwreck is a neat little shop with lots of cool vintage stuff. Way overpriced ($14 mugs) hard to find the price on many things. You might find an okay deal here and there but largely overpriced. read more

This store is a must to stop. Even if you are just driving through town, make a point to stop here. I spent quite some time in this store and everywhere I looked I found some nice treasure. It wasn't just your typical vintage clothing store as they also carry household decor, knitting supplies, and fresh flowers. The place is stocked with great stuff, but not pack-ratty at all. Just a great selection of things to buy and the jewelry is also pretty special. Great place to check out the local wares of the artists from around the area at a pretty good price. read more

They have a great selection of stationery, which is my current addiction. I love the way the store looks and their selection of vintage items is amazing. read more

It is nearly impossible to find good men's vintage clothing, but Shipwreck manages. I've gotten two western cowboy shirts, a scarf, and a couple of pins and I am completely satisfied. Keep up the good work. read more

Awesome shop in an awesome location. My boyfriend and I came when we were shopping around old town and he found a few really nice pieces and an incredible cashmere sweater for only 18$! Love stopping in here from time to time to see what's new. Only downfall is sometimes things are a little over priced. read more

This is such a special little shop. Not only will you find great vintage items - everything from clothes, to housewares, to jewelry, to furniture but they also have a great selection of locally made items. The jewelry in particular is really beautiful. You'll also find great gifts like French soap, planners and calendars from Little Otsu and Nikki McClure, fun t-shirts that say things like "Reading is Sexy" and "Future Librarian", plus great letter press cards. There are also amazing hand-made headbands from "Jeez Louise" that incorporate vintage feathers and flowers from vintage hats. Other reviewers have mentioned the yarn and knitting supplies but that shop has moved into a separate location just one block away on 2nd Street. Shipwreck is definitely not your typical vintage store. read more

This is the best place to get a greeting card, last-minute gift, or charming accessory. It is like hanging out in your best friend's living room, except your friend is really stylish and you can take home anything you want (if you pay for it). The staff are super helpful and friendly without harassing you too much. Always a joy! read more

This store is amazing. The day we first discovered it, I spent nearly two hours just looking and admiring. Shipwreck is really cute and very well organized. This store features all kinds of things. First, their clothes are amazing. They have a rack of local designers, which are higher in the price range compared to the other vintage clothes, but are cool nonetheless. Among the local designer clothing is also some American Apparel T Shirts. This store's got a great men's section as well, with great shoes, briefcases, coats, ties, and shirts. The women's section is truly vintage, with coats, dresses, shirts, sweaters and pants. The prices are extremely reasonable. There is handmade jewelry as well, like button bib necklaces and flower headbands. There are tons of home accessories, as well as quirky things, like vintage hair driers and aprons. She's got a great selection of wool and knitting products and books and the staff is very knowledgeable. They also a selection of fresh cut flowers, which are so charming. In a word, this store is fabulous. If you go to Old Town, this is a must stop shop. read more
