Here, you'll find women's clothing, jewelry, handbags, hats, accessories, home, beauty, wellness, decor, and lifestyle items. You'll spend time perusing through every inch of the merchandised space. I found that they carry Clare V. handbags - they currently have the ones that are made from real leather, the kind that is buttery soft to the touch! (oooh). I found a book I was first introduced to via social media and when I had recognized it on their shelf, I knew it was meant to find me. There were a few eye-catching prints and colors apparel brands - on the higher-end price point, but looked to be well-made pieces. Good place to try to find a gift for someone or for yourself.

Can't talk about service because we weren't welcomed, approached or otherwise. I don't mind that. We walked out empty handed but will definitely be coming back!

I discovered ReLove during an online search for new consignment shops in The Bay. I loved to see a…read moreBlack owned business, and was impressed by how curated the Oakland location is for both men and women. The consignment and re-sale market in The Bay is more competitive than ever. I scored on a pair of vintage Levi 550's for an excellent price during my first visit. I browsed during Michael's time in review of items I brought in to consign. I was able to consign vintage Chanel and a Y's by Yohji Yamamoto in just under a month and a half- not bad for consignment turn around. I've also been able to get direct buy outs for other pieces like Armani collezioni, Ralph Lauren, Comme Des Garçon and Michael provides customer service that is more like making a new friend. ReLove's consignment process is welcoming as they openly share their approach and lend their expertise to truly valuing your items. For items that don't work, they are polite and clear to answer any asks why. You can trust their level of expertise, and I love being able to talk fashion industry headlines while awaiting completion of my consignment. If you are past the point of Wasteland, Second Street USA, Crossroads and BuffaloExchange- give ReLove a chance. Only bring quality items, as they have a discerning eye for a curated selection of the best labels with upheld quality for what is accepted for consignments. Browse to see what they have first, to give you a sense of what to bring in for sustainable resale. I frequent the Oakland location, but have had helpful and friendly convo with the SF boutique when checking on status of active consignments. I am committed to full fashion sustainability, and have been for 3 years now, and I'm glad ReLove is part of my collection of sources to find what I'm looking for.

I texted her (due to COVID, still only by appointment) and she replied immediately and I visited that day! I described the event to her, the theme, who I would be meeting, what location it would be, and she totally ran with it and pulled some unique, brand-new couture dresses from Berlin to Tokyo. We were both excited it seemed, and in the end it was so hard to choose! This stuff is quality and comfy! Don't be afraid to tell her what you enjoy and don't enjoy about the dresses, Rana has plenty to choose from and knows what to do with that information. I eventually ended going with a comfy, flattering and elegant black dress that will last me forever. But a close second was a smoky pink feminine asymmetrical dress that made me look like a million dollars. I may be back to splurge on that dress too, as I'm sure I'd wear it plenty and by the 5th or 6th wear I will have already gotten my money's worth! (Rana also gave many tips on how to dress it up or down, style it a bunch of ways... the versatility makes this clothing so much more valuable.) Go ahead and treat yourself, everybody deserves a big girl dress in their closet. It's a huge difference from fast fashion and will probably last you 200x as long. The quality is incomparable. Thanks Rana, I'll see you next time!
