maribel

An Oakland gem, cool consignment store with an eclectic grab bag of designers. So fun to see what’s in these racks, vintage gunne sax, the kooples, Mara Hoffman, Ulla, Misha and Puff, ace and jig and SO many more.

Maribel is a true gift to our community. My most memorable and favorite garments have come from Maribel. I 100% agree with D. Hoover: Please don’t mistake the staff’s lack of engagement for unfriendly or unwillingness to accommodate. The shop offers a hands-off, peaceful environment to browse. A lot of the staff are a bit shy and just like to let you do your thing. Thats a good thing. They offer a highly curated selection. Everything is super cute, great condition. Don’t go looking for deals here, they know the value of the items they offer. The items are much, much better then anything I could buy new online or at a typical store because they offer such variety and curation. In general, I have been very hesitant to shop 2nd hand. I get overwhelmed at big thrift stores. I was thinking that with second hand thinking I could never find anything in my size, and if I did that I would be so seized with the desire to say yes that I would wake up the next morning realizing I had made a really bad choice. Maribel has totally changed my perception. There is actually a ton of things in my size. With such careful curation, I feel like there are stylists choosing the items they want me to consider. I have found a ton of stuff that I just love, because I know that they are in excellent condition with luxurious fabrics and excellent fit. I love knowing I can drop by just to browse because every day something new appears. Never boring. I even found that Babaa sweater I had really been wanting.

really great selection of brands and delightful, helpful staff.

Curated selection of quality garments. This is my go-to shop for gently used wardrobe staples. 🚩Please don’t mistake the staff’s lack of engagement for unfriendly or unwillingness to accommodate. Quite the opposite is true. The shop offers a hands-off, peaceful environment to browse BUT are more than willing to engage upon request. Don’t be shy 🙃 Every visit to Maribel has ended in a lovely conversation, exchange of fashion knowledge and something to smile about!

This shop is so cute ! It reminds me a little boutiques you can find in Scandinavia where it’s small /cozy but will always have special things. I always find a couple things to buy and the employees are always nice :)

Hooray, Maribel is open again!! Hand sanitizer / gloves available at the door. xxo

This is the best consignment store I have EVER been to. High end clothing is available as well as more more moderate choices. Highly selective buyers chose very fashionable clothes which are in great shape. I buy most of my clothes here and receive many, many compliments on my wardrobe. It is best to check in regularly for best selection. Wonderful selection of shoes and boots as well as handbags, jewelry.

Such good stuff!!! Even though it's still really expensive it's quite a steal.

They have a great selection of consignment clothes. Resonable prices...staff could be a bit more helpful

I love to stop in and visit Maribel when I go to the East Bay. I live in Marin--so I don't get to go often. But when I do, I have had success every time. I wanted cowgirl boots the last time I was in--and they had my size and color!! I was lucky. I'll admit, I have the best success with shoes at Maribel. Not only have I found cowgirl boots, I also found a pair of Hunter rainboots at a reasonable price. And many months ago I found a great pair of red flats that are accented with gold--unique and cute. Highly recommended. The thing with consignment shops, you have to be willing to check it out often. The merchandise changes daily! It's great!
