Concept Forty-Seven

A lovely, little gift shop/​treat yourself shop that carries local items (cards, clothes, jewelry, beauty products, etc…). A lot of the stuff are also very Oakland-​centric, so if you’re loving Oakland and/​or wanting to show off your Oakland pride, this is a place you should definitely check out. Also, it’s important to support our community, right? #shoplocal

To me, Concept 47 is not a store — it is a «solution provider». Birthday? Christmas? Anniversary? These all require going to multiple stores and spending lots and lots of time looking for some little thing to make my significant other realize that I do care. And I do care. But I don’t have lots of time. So I go to Concept 47, and the nice lady asks me how much, and I leave with a bottle of stuff and a little bag with something nice in it, and I look like a superhero.
Superman changes in phone booths, I go to Concept Forty Seven.

This is my first time here. Me and some friends were going out to eat and thought we would step in this store. There candles smell sooo good!

This place is a gem! The Beija Flor hair care products are amazing and the owner is very helpful when it comes to finding the product that is right for you. I highly recommend this place to anyone who cares about their hair and skin and doesn’t want to use harsh chemicals. They also have beautiful jewelry. A great place to buy gifts.

I want to support this place and love the shea hair butter I bought months ago, but it never seems to be open during posted hours. There’s been a «We’re open back in 15» sign up for over an hour now, on my 3^rd attempt to buy more of the magical hair cream. So if you happen upon this store when it’s open, I guess just buy a lot at once.

Concept 47 is an amazing addition to an already amazing neighborhood. I wandered in out of curiosity — what is this cute place? — and discovered all sorts of gems. This luxe boutique is quickly becoming my go-​to place to buy unique gifts — luxurious body butter and scented soaps made by the owner of the shop (& apparently sold online!
); an original onesie for a new-​mama-​friend who just had a baby.
They also sell a variety of cute, Oakland-​centric t-​shirts, totes, and cards — cranes galore, friends! I always end up buying crafty cards that literally make me laugh out loud (everyone stares, but I don’t care). There’s a nice selection of jewelry ranging from affordable to high-​end. And sometimes I just go in to look at the rotating art exhibits by local artists — Concept 47 doubles as an art gallery on First Fridays.
The owner is really sweet and attentive to her customers, and you can ask as many questions as you want about the products (trust me on this, I do it every time). Certainly doesn’t hurt that Tara’s ice cream is next door…

Stevonne and Mya are so welcoming and helpful. The products are delicious and natural. I fully intend on heading back for that heavenly That’s Amore spray!

This is a warning to local artists. Make sure that if this place reaches out to you via Etsy or any other way, and wants to do consignment that you get the contract UP FRONT and make sure that the person contacting you actually has authority and knows how business is conducted professionally. Due to someone’s lack of experience and common courtesy, I wasted a ton of my time and effort for NOTHING. I don’t want it to happen to anyone else. If there is any question about what I’m stating here I have a full paper trail to prove it. Not cool and «we’re a new business» is no excuse for what I experienced.

This shop is amazing. You walk in and you feel this energy. Every time I shop there I hear other customers commenting on it as well. It has has hand made products by local artists, beauty products (I love their most popular item — the Beija Flor Naturals Crème Brulee), jewelry, art, and more. They also have a monthly showing where they showcase an artist. This shop is getting more and more popular which I just love because it’s exactly what the community of Temescal needed. It’s got flavor, they always have good jams playing and it’s just the perfect place to go, chill and browse around. Every time I go I end up buying gifts for my friends and for myself ;).

Love this place! I was gifted a wonderful face cream that makes my face glow :) Also, I got a cute bracelet at a reasonable price. Check it out the next time you’re in the area.

I loved Concept Forty– Seven, found tons of unique gifts for friends and family and bought some great organic nail polish (which is hard to find), wonderful smelling soaps and a Mason Jar mixer that is my new favorite kitchen piece. The store has the perfect mix of products to match anyone’s style. One of the best finds I’ve come across in a while!

Concept 47 is a gem. Both owners are lovely empowering women who curate a nice selection of green beauty products including their in house body line and the coveted John Maters Organics haircare.

Cocept Forty-​Seven is a small boutique tucked between Tara’s Ice Cream and Burma Superstar. It’s filled to the brim with lovely trinkets, cool clothing with a cause by Wildlife Works Apparel, art and tons of natural bath and body products. If you’re looking for Elizabeth Street Cosmetics lip glosses, this is where to find them.
I especially enjoyed the Beija Flor Naturals hemp butter I bought for my hair. I have very thirsty curly hair and this stuff was perfect. The handmade soap selection is filled with soaps that smell awesome. If you’re on Telegraph Ave. give this hip little boutique a visit. You won’t regret it.

I’m a guy and I’ve been to Concept Forty-​Seven a few times now and I love their hair products. I’ve bought and use both the Hemp and Cocoa Mango Buttercreams and love them both. They also have a lot of great clothing, jewelry and other great local products for men and woman. Keep an eye out on their facebook as I found out they have special evenings when they host art and music from local artists and have great food and drinks!
