Ok so we were on holiday travelling through California from the UK and we came across this shop while passing the charming village of half moon bay. What a wonderful find by the way. Anyway I'm a Hendrix fan and I found an original USA vinyl record pressing of are you experienced. I was so excited as I have the uk pressing and was pleased to find one here. Anyway well chuffed with this cool shop in a super clean lovely American street!! read more

Awesome little place, the size belies the actual offerings--my husband bought four records, which he says are hard to come by pristine pressings. It's a ton of fun to browse all the little knick knacks and treasures, e.g. I spied a 100% pure shearling coat for only $225 (which would be thousands of dollars retail in a department shop). I didn't buy it because it was waaay too large, but that's exactly the sort of treeasure you might stumble on.They also had a few Dinney and Burke satchels as well as cowboy boots. This is a gem of a place where they have a revolving bit of wares with prices that are hard to beat. read more

I have been meaning to leave a review for Vessel for awhile now and I first just want to say that the service by Christina goes above and beyond! She is so generous with her time and kind. The clothing and selections are unique and priced reasonably. I highly recommend stopping by Vessel Vintage to anyone visiting or residing in HMB. It won't dissapoint! read more

This review is for Half Moon Vinyl. Great music selection, TV, posters, bric-a-brac, books. Go to the beach, get some food, bring your dogs. Christina's awesome and the new dude working downstairs is also super knowledgeable and friendly. read more

Every time I go to Half Moon Bay I stop at Vessel and it was so wonderful to return and learn that they have a thrift floor and a vintage curated floor upstairs. The thrift clothes were great and so affordable. Loved the selection. The top floor with its curated pieces was truly amazing, such special and select pieces, and at a range of prices. I purchased beautiful items (two tops and a vintage beach towel) from the first floor, and a Top Shop pair of shoes from the top floor. The staff at Vessel were so friendly, even remembering us from our last visit and made the visit even more lovely. read more

Good selection When I go to half moon bay I want to go by & check what they have each time. read more

I came into Vessel Vintage & Thrift a few months ago on a rainy day after a horse-riding lesson in the morning. It was pure luck -- I was just in the area. But I'm SO glad I came in because this shop is so cute and has so many gems! I ended up walking out with a suede shirt and an angora/wool vintage orange Escada by Margaretha Ley blazer. Both are so cute and unique, and I've worn both out already. There were other really cute items i contemplated buying. The prices are not the cheapest (e.g., these are not Goodwill prices), but the selection is curated and well-organized, and the space is comfortable with spacious changing rooms. Overall I would definitely come back again! The items I purchased were great quality. Christina, the store owner, is also so sweet and great. Highly recommend this shop! read more

This thrift store is cool but it is on the pricey side. The few pieces I was planning on buying had small rips or stains. I don't mind paying a high price for vintage but it does have to be close to immaculate. Little stains are okay (if it can be hidden) but I hate rips or tears of any kind, as it can cost even more to repair the item. One thing that really pissed me off was they are trying to sell sweaters with huge stains or holes in it. They are labeled "As Is" for $25 or more. Definitely not going to pay no more than $15 for any of those items. And used items at that. They are a small business so I don't want to give them a low rating. Support while you can. Just make sure to bring a fat wallet if you're really set on shopping here and leaving with something. read more

I tried to come in here today, but unfortunately they are closed on Tuesday's. I could tell by peeking into the window that it's a cool place and I'll make a point of coming back on a day when they are open. Giving five stars for seeing this Redd Foxx vinyl album cover in the front window and the smile it put on my face! read more

Vessel’s Vintage Corner - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Half Moon Bay, California

Amazing selection of great vintage clothing for women and trinkets of all sorts from memories gone by with just as much zest as when they first came out. Let's face it: they don't make 'em like they used to. But you can still find them here! read more

Great store and great prices! Love the selection and the people running it. Great place to visit when you go to half moon bay

Stumbled upon this little gem while enjoying a Friday afternoon. Thanks to the sandwich chalkboard on Main Street otherwise we would have missed it. Great selection of men's and women's vintage. Extra kudos due as it was a balanced selection per gender! Husband hates it when stores have one little rack for men. Also, loved the music touches from vintage guitars to concert tees. Small jewelry selection from local silversmith designers too. We will definitely be back! read more

Vessel’s Vintage Corner - Amazing original pennant from women's sufferage movement! - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Half Moon Bay, California

Super cute high-end Vintage thrift store in Half Moon Bay, I found through Google while we were getting a crab in Princeton. Great selection of high and super clean merchandise. I found a great chambray denim shirt for my son and it was even marked down and it was new. They have records a few accessories. They have two levels great fun place to shop. read more

This is a fun and very popular shop. I don't think I've ever been in here as the only shopper, which is a good thing. It's a lot of fun to browse the racks and see if you find something to your liking. For the first time I did, and am very happy with my purchase. The shop is quaint, located off the main downtown drag next to the book shop, worth taking those extra steps to explore. read more

Really great selection of vintage clothes and records. Amazing home decor too! They're working on the upstairs to expand the space this year and increase their selection. Great staff and great deals. Got a really cool vintage lamp and ashtray. read more

This place totally rocks and you get a good vibe on the clothing and it's fun to find vintage clothing at an affordable price that you actually look forward to wearing. I got an awesome pair of Taylor Stitch jeans and they fit me perfectly along with a suede shirt jacket and an Italian flannel shirt and everything feels like it was made just for me. Take a look and have fun...you will find some interesting treasures if you do. Sometimes of course, you find what you want but it's either too small or too large but that's the adventure in browsing until you hit on the exact thing you are wanting. Lots of fun! read more

THIS PLACE . I've been coming to vessel since it opened a while back and I've always found something cute or unique to take home. Christina is such a kind and welcoming person and this is one of my favorite shops in California. I love the pricing between the thrift store-type area downstairs and the vintage collection upstairs. There's so much love that's gone into this place and it's absolutely worth checking out. Always love to stop by whenever I'm in town and would recommend to anyone looking for a go-to :) read more

Pretty small, a limited selection and definitely overpriced. Saw some positive reviews, so I wanted to check inside, but nothing special unfortunately read more

Love love love this boutique! Came in for the first time today and met the owner, Kristina. She is stunning btw. Upon walking through the door I spotted a unique dress to my left. It was superbly well-made but the price was out of my mental spending allowance for this day trip. The tag read, "300". Against my money-smart intelligence, I gently lifted the coat/dress from the rack and exclaimed that I must try it on. It fit like it was made for me. I had to have it. At the counter, the owner made a phone call and the dress was mine for 200. Yay! For the WIN: looking up this dress online educated me on the Malcolm Starr International designer company. The dress was made in 1970 and it is for sale online for 1250.00. Win, win, win! Thank you for the excellent experience read more

Came to the coast from Hayward for some wave therapy and calm chowder when suddenly I thought hm I wonder if there's any thrift stores around. I am soooo thrilled to have discovered Vessel! It's such a gem! Prices are very reasonable and there's something for everyone! Due to COVID there's only 5 people in at a time (the space is small) and mask required. The shop owner is very sweet, I'll definitely tell my friends about this place and come back for more! read more

Vessel’s Vintage Corner - Nice and simple - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Half Moon Bay, California

Warm welcome from Vessel solo staff prompts this review! Fitting rooms are roomy and space is overall well maintained. Dresses and jackets were especially notable, and offers harder to find items! A must stop through HMB read more

A great place to find hand picked quality thrift clothes and nostalgic antique clothes and has some items sought after online like Harley Davidson shirts and video game jackets. Fun place! read more

Christina is such an awesome person ! Thanks for accommodating my request and she has some vintage vinyl records in her shop as well as other cool stuff !!!! read more

Over priced stuff I can get at the good will. Don't wast your money on these t shirts. It's like they just make up a price and tell us it's a 80s Bon Jovi original shirt if they lowered their prices they could make more money. read more

I really enjoy this thrift store. But they need to be more size inclusive, especially in the vintage part upstairs. It's always a hit or mess with this place. read more

I'm an avid second hand/vintage shopper of designer goods and Vessel is one of my top places to shop. The selection is amazingly curated and is a mix of designer and non-designer vintage/second hand pieces. Each piece is one of a kind and they also have a rack of discounted items that start at $5! I was able to snag a beautiful dark green Tahari Petites double breasted cropped blazer with gold coin buttons and a Liz Claiborne sport button up shirt adorned with a crest logo on the breast pocket! Both pieces at $5 each! I also purchased a Brooks Brothers navy 100% wool blazer with gold buttons, beige Prada pleated trousers, and a pair of Bally Switzerland bow kitten heels. The pieces from Vessel are reasonably priced and reflects the condition and uniqueness of each piece. I'm sad I don't live in the Bay Area anymore but will continue to support and shop at Vessel whenever I'm in town! read more

Amazing finds and super affordable prices!!!! Will be coming back again! Would give more stars if I could :-)

This place is awesome! This is not your typical thrift store. Think of it as a curated work of art. Specializing in vintage band tees, vintage sports apparel, bomber jackets and all things cool. This place has a great vibe....I highly recommend checking it out! read more

I love this place me n my bestie came here kristy is adorable we love it. It was so nice to be in half moon bay good food and excellent beaches. It was finally ice to actually walk around and see the shops. Meet a lot of nice folks. Friendly town. One of my fav places now to come vintage shopping read more

We drive from the city to go to Vessel. The owner is super nice and always helpful. My daughter and I always leave with something we are in love with! For me, a vintage rodeo show shirt from the 70s is my current obsession. And more recently, white Dickies overalls will be my summer go-to. My teen daughter is loving 90s/Y2K fashion and finds something every time we go. Great product, great service, reasonable pricing and local charm make Vessel a destination spot for my family. read more

Me and my 2 sisters were driving past and I said "oooh thrift store!" and my sister says something like "go back" or "reverse!" ... so we walk in thinking it'll be just another dusty thrift store...... my god.... beautiful store with beautiful well selected vintage clothes... good versions of the classics, like well cared for Levi's, Pendleton's, fisherman's sweaters, high waisted jeans, classic Coach leather bags, Madewell, Everlane, but also unique colorful pieces from every decade. We chatted with the super cool girl who owns the shop who obviously has amazing taste and is so nice. Her friend who does the buying walks in wearing this incredible outfit and reminds us that the clothes we wear should make us feel happy... it's so easy to just wear things that are basic, comfortable, and washable --- especially as we get older ---- but we would be missing out on the opportunity for expression, joy, and pride in your look. Really love this store :) read more

Great merchandise. Amazing prices and an extremely helpful owner who is more interested in making you feel welcome than making a sale.

The cutest thrift/vintage spot I have been in. The customer service was great and I found some really great items. They are a bit pricey, but it's so worth it. Should check them out if you are ever in downtown Half Moon Bay. read more

Awesome thrift store with awesome staff. Worth checking out!! Vintage jeans, band tees, guitars, pins, you name it. Super cool shop

Love this thrift store! So many cool vintage finds..... and furniture/instruments too! Love the band tee collection here as well. Prices are amazing too. Such a fun shop to stop by on a warm afternoon in downtown HMB. read more

The only place in Half Moon Bay or the greater SF Bay Area that has vintage rock n roll clothing and vintage guitars under one roof! I highly recommend checking this place out on your drive to the coast. A true California gem. read more

I do hope to see the shop re open very soon. It is a great place to browse and check out the marvelous and eclectic things for sale. Vintage or second hand, whatever the source, the variety is fun. I've been lucky to find some really fab clothes, shoes and even a guitar!!! See you soon, I hope!!! read more
