    Gorgeous Vintage Wedding Dress from Pretty Penny
    Jenny P.

    Sarah and her wonderful store are both so special. I am very grateful to have discovered Pretty Penny, when I was desperately searching for my wedding dress, which was a saga lasting months. I bought online my first dress, which I had to return as the dress unfortunately did not fit. Then I ordered a 2nd dress from Etsy, but the Etsy vendor had decided to make some "tweaks" to the design. I had been too stressed to even think about it, so I put off trying it on again. This was about 2 weeks before my wedding and my best friend had flown in from Spain the day before. She insisted I try it on again. Although she tried to carefully hide the look of horror on her face regarding dress #2, I was whisked out the door in 15 mins of trying it on, to find a new dress. My BFF remembered Pretty Penny from years earlier when she lived in Berkeley. And somehow, we pulled up in front, there was an open parking spot immediately in front of the store (on Telegraph!), we walked in the front door, and on the very first rack there was a gorgeous 2-piece bias-cut satin dress -- the type for which I had been looking for months! My BFF immediately seized it, held it up, and a nice customer at the front of the store observed what a great wedding dress it would be. The clouds parted! However, not only does Sarah have a great eye and a very curated collection, she's also incredibly kind and helpful. She pulled multiple dresses out of the back for me to take a look (although my first love prevailed). She also recommended an excellent local tailor for the small alteration I wanted done, and he did excellent work. I really appreciated her. There is so much pressure on everything being perfect for your wedding, and I really struggled to find the right dress. I was so grateful in that moment for how everything came together courtesy of Sarah and Pretty Penny. Not only was my dress even better than I could have hoped for my wedding day, it's also something I know I'll be able to wear again and continue to enjoy. Thank you, Sarah!

    I have been shopping at pretty penny for awhile and feel like this is a very long overdue review. The quality, information, knowledge and love that's put into every piece sold is mind blowing. From cuff bracelets that I purchased 8 years ago and I still wear almost every day, beautiful vintage blouses, killer leopard print bathing suit, being introduce to my new favorite bra, to the amazing pants I wore to my bachelorette party.... The list of goes on from vintage to new to local pieces. All of my favorite pieces in my closest are from Pretty Penny (I am not bullsh*tting y'all... this is the honest truth). The owner is beyond attentive and kind. Can throw you a piece that fits better than you imagined. Thank you, pretty Penny for being there during the rough times and the best times. Thank you for adding vibrancy to my wardrobe.

    This is my 3rd annual update for the San Francisco Bay Area's Crossroads Trading stores. As a…read morepersonal buyer for multiple clients for decades, I've made it a priority to trade, buy and sell at each Crossroad store in the San Francisco Bay Area. After visting the City, East Bay and Southern CA stores, I am still partial and perhaps biased about the new College Avenue store. It is still my favorite Go-To high-end resale store, shopping there when it was across the street over 15-20 years ago. Other reviewers say that the new location has improved, brighter natural lighting with more open visual space and high ceilings for placement of high-end pieces. Their selection is better and consistently checked and maintained. High-end or designer pieces are encased or behind sales counter, allowing more room to move with better access to see, touch and try-on clothing. The dressing rooms are clean, well lit and accessible. The holding area for sellers waiting to sell might get cramped on a weekend and could use more staging or shelf area. It's nice to shop while you wait and not have to sit and watch your bags. Good training and the way its staff treats each customer makes all the difference. Long-time management, Jason, Dikki, Nola Mei, Emily and Diana are stellar and hire and train new employees with a discerning inclusive selection process of open-minded, friendly, and respectful staff. A huge shout out to Mack, Cairo, Rachel and Brooklyne and do excuse me if I've forgotten anyone. When asked if they enjoy working at Crossroads, they had positive attitudes and responses. Their buyers curate pieces carefully, and choose on what will sell for the season and location. They treat their customers with respect and are candid about their selections. I no longer feel slighted if they don't take an expensive item I thought would sell. My favorite brands traded and bought here are Vince, James Perse, APC, Armani, ATM, Theory, Patagonia, Lululemon, Rag and Bone, Acne, Eileen Fisher, A Piece Apart, Levis and more. The men's selections have improved and increased offering multiple top brands. I've bought Marni, Coach, Gavriel Mansur, YSL, and Longchamp purses and backpacks, along with unisex ArcTeryx, Patagonia and Northface backpacks and totes. Their shoes and boots like Prada, Aquatalia, Adidas, Todd's, Pedro Garcia etc., are great and one can still consign top shelf designer pieces. The trendy marks, Madewell, Frame, L'Agence, AGolde, Levis, Dickies and unique streetwear brands are abundant and offer affordable, high-end sunglasses, wallets and jewelry. Buying, selling or trading gently-used, pre-loved pieces that someone bought retail at 300-400% markup, some brand new with tags still attached - and you may just find your hidden gem here. One last note: No one paid me for this review and it is not A.I. rendered or generated.

    That's funny how they'll pay so little for your clothes (if you're lucky enough to sell anything),…read morebut everything they sell is expensive. Anyways, don't go there if you don't want to waste your time, this place is a complete joke. They will treat you like if you're selling them trashy clothes, such a snobby place.

    A well-curated charity shop in an upscale neighborhood, supporting a cause close to my heart. Since…read moreit opened I've invested in a some nice vintage pieces priced somewhere between thrift stores and Etsy. Something that happened on my last visit left me unsettled. It was a Sunday, and the manager I usually have a nice chat with wasn't there. I browsed around and found a good older Lands End barn jacket for $55. Unfortunately it was missing one of its logo buttons in the back flap, making the $55 seem kind of high. I took it to the counter to discuss. The staff member present that day pointed to the "no negotiations" sign next to the counter, and said that damaged goods like the coat would have been put in the garbage. I begged to buy it for $55 just to rescue the poor thing, just like I did with my shelter dog. Seriously brought up the stories of the Great Depression when big corporate farms dumped good produce and milk into the ground, rather than feed the hungry, in a move to fix pricing. Also, my 81 year old mum resigned from her volunteer position at a local church-run charity shop because they were throwing away perfectly good vintage clothing just because of some small flaw. Truly, if the manager of this shop wants to reassure me that this ISN'T store policy, it would make me more comfortable to come back and shop again.

    Help fund a much-needed new building for Berkeley Humane (5/5 Green Stars)…read moreIn early November, the Berkeley Humane opened a second thrift store - right here in the Elmwood! I was already a fan of the Solano store - I think it's one of the nicest thrift shops in Berkeley. This branch is smaller but it's really focused on the nicest things, arranged beautifully. If you've never wandered into a thrift store and have reservations about going in, then start right here. Many items are brand new, with tags still attached, and I think the prices are reasonable, considering this. A large portion of the clothes are women's (although that hasn't stopped me shopping for a winter jacket) but there is also a small men's section behind the changing room. Check out the cool collection of Christmas ornaments, right now! 100% of proceeds benefit the Berkeley Humane nonprofit - particularly to help fund a new building that they need after a fire in 2010 destroyed a large part of their building on 9th and Carlton. As you may know, back in the 1970s, the BH made a commitment that no healthy or treatable shelter animals in the Society's care would be euthanized. It's amazing that the BH got started almost 120 years ago - in 1905, the Berkeley branch of the SPCA was set up with a mission to improve conditions at the "pound" (which were reportedly not good at the time). The current facility on 9th and Carlton was acquired all the way back in 1933. The new building will be named the Bay Area Animal Resource Center (BAARC), and will include a veterinary medical hospital and adoption center and will include more services for people with pets who might be in need of a little extra support. It will feature significantly enlarged space for cat adoptions, including several "catios" that will provide felines with natural light and fresh air. Berkeley Humane is a private non-profit organization that does not receive government funding, so community support is essential to its mission. I'm giving the Berkeley Humane Thrift shop 5/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact. This takes very little explaining. Buying clothes and other items from thrift shops is one of the best ways to reduce your environmental footprint and improve your social impact. You are avoiding the production of new materials, with all problems of the fast-fashion-driven textile industry. At the same time you are supporting a nonprofit that has taken care of local neglected or abandoned animals for more than a century. This year, Berkeley Humane will have over $400,000 in expenses to medically prepare over 1,000 animals for adoption. Your support will save lives.
