Makin Endz Meet

If you are looking for a Halloween costume (ladies), there is no better place. The owner has ideas upon ideas and helps you construct the costume right before your eyes. I had a great time listening to her counseling a couple away from being a vampire and a witch to being a vampire and the vampire’s victim complete with red bite marks on her neck and blood droplets on his suit. I can’t really speak for the place outside of Halloween but they do have a lot of good quality stuff.

I stumbled upon this gem by accident. I’m looking forward to their launch of online offerings as I don’t always have time to go there in person.
The store is a lot more organized and the music is pleasant and jazzy. The best part is the great prices and really good leather quality shoes and purses and belts. Compared to places like Crossroads or thrift, the owner has a pretty good eye for unique, relevant items.
Up and coming for sure

I really wanted to support a small business, but every damn time I walk in here, the lady is listening to Rush Limbaugh. I swear. Every time. I asked if she was listening for research. She giggled but left it on. I could only stand being in their for a few minutes before the lies and hate spewing from her speakers made me leave. I’m done trying to support this one. She’s a backwards lady.

I work in the area and walked by Pierre’s store many times and finally walked in. Pierre is very sweet and they have a nice men’s selection, which is rare in vintage stores! I’ll be going back

I’ve been a loyal fan of this vintage store for 2 years, ever since I met the owner at the Alemany Flea Market. Although I live in San Francisco, whenever I have a trip to Oakland I make it a point to see what she has. Her taste runs eclectic and fun. The boot collection is particularly amazing.
As with any thrift/​vintage store, there is a bit of luck involved in finding your size, but it is worth the hunt. Jewelry, apparel, shoes and even hats. It’s a good place to find a unique gift for a female relative or friend, or just the right accessory for your party outfit. Although it is vintage, she follows current fashion trends, carrying items that have come back in vogue, such as lace.
And there is some great stuff for guys too, like leather jackets and briefcases. It is absolutely worth a trip.

Finally a vintage store with real vintage high quality items. It has everything from jewelry and nicknacks to channel suits and beautiful leather cowboy boots! The owner is so helpful, knowledgeable and lovely. What a wonderful find.
They don’t have a website but visit their facebook page:

**not to be confused with the children’s consignment clothing store, «Making Ends Meet» in Fruitvale**
This place is a true gem! The owner couldn’t be nicer, and has a selection, which is both unique as well as diverse. There’s something for everyone here. Huge selection of high-​quality vintage men’s and women’s shoes, boots, purses, blazers/​jackets, belts, clothing, and sweaters. Wide variety of vintage jewelry from all eras. Collectible household items and little knick nacks and other accessories can be found throughout.
I don’t typically take the time to write reviews, let alone «add [a] business» to Unilocal’s database when one didn’t previously exist, but I felt this little place more than deserved it. I purchased an elephant head sculpture which doubles as a wall shelf, and a really awesome and unique belt. I can’t wait to see what she has next week!
