The perfect place to either: 1 - donate nice women's clothing (as like-new as possible) to be…read morescored buy women who need something nicer than they are in a position to buy and might need for a job interview, etc., Or: 2 - if you need some clothing to look the way you'd like to be seen for that special opportunity, be sure to stop by and check out Bloom. It won't be a waste of your time. Drop off what is nice but not needed so that someone who really needs it can have it! Note the specific open hours and donations accepted times on their website. Tip re. Dropping off items: Donations are received at the rear of the building, down the immediately adjacent driveway. Back down it if you can. It's difficult to turn a car around at the bottom!

Cons- smaller store = less merch, very little parking - but is walking a bit on a Saturday really that bad? Pros - very welcoming and nice employees, store was clean, selection was organized and priced well. I did not use, but the drop off section seemed busy and well organized. All in all, I will return when I'm in the area or doing a full thrift day.

I hadn't been to the Salvation Army in San Rafael for quite a while because, honestly, I used to…read morefind the store very messy and chaotic. I started going back a few months ago, and I'm really happy to say that I've noticed a big difference! The store feels much more organized, and the team working there is always so nice, friendly, and welcoming. You can tell they really care about keeping the store as tidy as possible. I see them constantly putting things back, picking items up, and trying to keep everything in order. They really do their best, and I appreciate that. I do wish upper management would do a little more to address customers leaving things all over the place. I see items thrown on the floor or left in completely different areas all the time, and it must be frustrating for the employees to constantly have to clean up after people. It would be nice to see some rules or reminders encouraging customers to be more respectful of the store and the people working there. I also feel for the employees because the store has been incredibly hot during my recent visits. I'm not sure if the air conditioning is broken or just not working well, but it must be difficult to work in that heat all day. Despite that, the staff continues to be friendly and helpful, which says a lot about them. Overall, I really appreciate the changes I've seen over the past few months. Izzy and her team deserve a lot of credit for the effort they put in every day. I enjoy stopping in to look around, and I hope upper management continues to support this team and give them the resources they need to keep making the store a pleasant place to shop.

I've always enjoyed going on treasure hunts to thrift stores, but since I've been cleaning out…read moreclosets and taking bags of clothing to drop off, I haven't shopped for months. Yesterday, I was passing the Salvation Army in San Rafael and I decided to go in just to look at records. It was the most revolting time I've ever had anywhere. Even the "dump" store in Petaluma is far cleaner. This was a Wednesday afternoon, not a weekend after a hurricane from a mobscene of shoppers. I'm not sure I EVER want to go into that store again and risk buying something that has spent an unknown amount of time on the floor. Also, I won't be bringing donations to them either because they already have more going on than they can handle.

This was my first time consigning, and I'm so glad I chose this place! I initially spoke with…read moreMichaela over the phone, and then stopped by to drop off my items. Michaela was very friendly and helpful. She explained the process clearly and let me know what to expect, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. The drop-off process was fast and convenient. The store has a great vibe--it's nice, clean, and very easy to find. The security guard was also very attentive and even opened the door for us before we were anywhere near the entrance! I would highly recommend this place, especially if it's your first time consigning. I do suggest calling ahead and making an appointment, though. Overall, a great experience!

They are always incredibly kind, courteous, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. At this point, walking into the store honestly feels like coming home. They know my wife and kids, they know my style, and they remember the things we like and what we're looking for. That level of personal service is rare. Most recently, my wife and I consigned our Cartier Trinity rings with them, and I also purchased a beautiful ring for her through TRR. Once again, the entire experience was seamless from both the buying and consigning sides. I've visited the San Francisco location as well, and the staff there has been great, but the Marin team has set the gold standard for me. I actually prefer having items sent to the Marin store rather than directly to my home because I enjoy dealing with the staff that much. If I had an unlimited budget, I'd probably be in there spending even more time and money with them! Casey, Skylar, Mike, Evelyn, and the entire Marin team have created something that goes well beyond a luxury resale store. They've built genuine relationships with their customers and created an experience that keeps us coming back. Absolutely five stars. The Marin location is truly top-tier.

An in-depth examination of this post would likely run to several pages, not enough room in a review column. Suffice to say, the people at the thrift shop don't deserve this and rather than hold the writer up for ridicule, it is this review-reviewer's view that the original reviewer might be more pitied than scorned.

Martin and Valetta are the best!…read more My wife and I miss them and their biz, which we call, "The Candy Store". I am responding to the recent one star reviews. Fine Estate Sales will do their best to sell your product, or items in your estate. It is your decision to set a special price for an item, or, let their experts set the price. If you are not happy with this business, then let them know and negotiate. Be a business person and DEAL WITH the problem with the source. Deal with it as a business owner, instead of writing a long boring novel that lost my attention after merely looking at the size of the review. Everyone needs to understand, Fine Estate Sales, or any similar company, is not Macy's, Nordstroms, Nieman Marcus or Louis Vuitton, etc. So unless you set a price, or negotiate a contract before signing or amend the contract, there lies an agreement, hand shake, i.e. a contract. I understand you may not be happy, however, as I mentioned above, deal with it, and work with Martin and Valetta. They are here to make money for you and them. Thank you for everything Martin and Valetta, and miss The Candy Store.

It's a great cause ( which…read moreis verbatim what staff will say should you express your discomfort) but it's still a thrift store and the prices lately are antique store esq. I find it insulting and a discredit to the very definition of what a thrift store should be: appealing to all especially those who truly cannot afford to shop elsewhere. This is absolutely no longer the case. What should be a fun "find" At a great price is now sorrily a researched item priced at retail or above. Example is a Zadig and Voltair Suede jacket at 200$. Jackie is the manager, she's a bit off... I've been a client for years yet she's always a bit cold. Who knows what the deal is... maybe she's pressured to make quota? Some lovely woman work here and the volunteers are wonderful.

We visited the new Coquelicot in San Anselmo this last weekend, and while chatting with the owner…read morewe realized that: 1) We've been shopping at various Coquelicots (Fairfax, Larkspur, and now San Anselmo) for 16 or 17 years. 2) We registered with them for our wedding 14 years ago, but now that we have kids we've gone from shopping for ceramics and linens to plastic ware. Ah, how priorities change over the years. Ironically we just came back from Paris and London, where we had unsuccessfully searched for nice plastic ware (seriously, it was one of our goals; sad I know). Our second week back home and we find exactly what we're looking for at Coquelicot. Our home is full of their ceramics and linens; we've always loved the beauty and quality of their products. And visiting them always reminds me of shopping in France; they greet you warmly and then leave you alone, but are always available to lend their considerable expertise and knowledge. The owner and her husband spend a lot of time in France, and in addition to knowing the products and in some cases the artisans who create them, it's also fun to compare travel and cultural notes with them. And we love supporting a local business. Here's to another 16 years as a loyal customer!
