Shoptalk: Maribel

File Maribel under consignment chic! This quaint little shop is nestled in-between a bar and dry cleaners and is a rare Oakland clothing store gem. Unlike some consignment stores in the bay area you get really nice quality clothing and most of the time designer clothing ( Joe’s Jeans, Charlotte Ronson, 7 for All Mankind, Citizen’s of Humanity, Marc Jacobs, DVF etc) minus the factory damage, sweat stains, and funky smells. Maribel is more like walking into your stylish best friend’s closet than a consignment store. Here are some of the basics: consignment is Mon-Sat from open- 2pm; you get half of whatever Ann (the owner) or Sophia ( the fab second in command) sales your item(s) for or you can keep the cash in your account and use it towards an item you want to purchase. A bonus point is there are a lot of brand new items that come in and there is always brand new jewelry from some of your favorites as well as local designers. So on your way through the Lake Merrit shopping district stop by Maribel, who knows you may walk out with a pair or my jeans!
