items I’m trying not to buy anything new this year and focus on shopping sustainably (secondhand only) so I put together a list of solid secondhand and vintage spots around San Francisco. It includes shops from curated boutiques to classic thrift stores an...

Secondhand markets
Love how SF has free or low cost community events where folks can buy and sell secondhand! Definitely recommend checking these out on a free weekend.
This amazing community event happens from April-Nov and is a great curated marketplace of different vendors along with live music and food options. Definitely don’t sleep on these, every second Sat of the month!
Secondhand Saturday - Sunset Mercantile
Can’t let outer sunset have all the fun, there’s also the Inner Sunset flea market. I once bargained for a 100% vintage silk skirt here. Definitely a great family friendly atmosphere too with activities for kids (and adults who enjoy bubbles aka me).
Inner Sunset Flea Market~2nd Sundays April to November 2024
This awesome pop up market is basically like Poshmark/Depop IRL so regular people can sell items in their closet! It’s typically very well organized with a wide variety of sizes and aesthetics. I’ve been about 3 times and although it can be hit or mi...
Seconds Market
They’re usually on Valencia at city station SF but sometimes also El Rio or thee Parkside! You can find a mix of clothing, jewelry, shoes, hair accessories etc! Check their IG for vendor updates.
Sucka Flea Market & Swap (open 2nd Sundays)
Vintage stores
Haight Ashbury of course has so many of the well known vintage stores but there’s a good mix across the city too. I’m personally not a Wasteland girly and this list is by no means comprehensive but these are spots I like to check out or generally hav...
Nearby Citystation on Valencia, this is a cute vintage store with curated items in good condition.
Valencia Street Vintage
A personal favorite- Moody Goose has tons of unique pieces! Love the sf themed items & muni decor in store too. They also sell through their IG stories and the owner is the sweetest!
Moody Goose Vintage
Unique vintage boutique with clothing that dates from the mid 1800’s to the late 1980’s. They also have accessories and costumes, always cool to step in and check out or shop for a special occasion!
Decades Of Fashion
I love window shopping here and always notice their ‘San Francisco is for lovers’ branded clothing and bags. They also opened a new location on Chesnut st.
Indigo Vintage Coopertive
Cute vintage shop in North Beach with a retro feel! It’s easy to miss since it’s tucked away a bit but has cool curated pieces.
Missing Audrey Vintage
Somewhat newer to the Haight st vintage scene. This spot has a good selection of y2k and sports but can get pricey. Check out their instagram for upcoming sales/discounts.
Blue Bin Vintage
This North Beach vintage shop has a fun interior that immediately draws people in from the floors to the walls and colorful decor. Love browsing items here!
Vacation
This is a vintage pop up in a garage on 18th st. They usually host it monthly but check out their Instagram for exact dates and times. Prices are on the higher end but it is a curated selection, usually cool outerwear.
Sensitive Vintage
Honestly I come less for the clothes and shopping and more for the vibes + Club Photomatica photo booths but it is a nice space to pop into if you’re on Haight!
710 Collective
Thrift shops
I’ve found these spots to typically be more reasonable priced. I’m always looking out for more thrift stores in the city outside of the Goodwills!
An OG spot for a wide range of items including furniture, clothes, and household items with sales benefiting nonprofit organizations.
Community Thrift
Went to the store opening and found 2 pairs of pants that fit me and were a good length, which is so rare! Decently priced as well.
Eye Thrift
Great customer service and selection of recognizable brands. Also a short walk from Valencia street.
Born Again Thrift
It is a nonprofit chain with two locations in SF — one on Polk st and the other on Folsom. May take some digging but you can definitely find good brands here. It’s also usually pretty organized. The Folsom store is bigger but I think Polk has a bette...
Out of the Closet - Polk
Consignment
Reasonable prices and solid selection/curation. I like looking through outerwear especially.
2nd STREET Haight St
There's a few locations in the city. I've noticed the Fillmore one does get quite crowded but has the most well known brand names/higher end brands.
Crossroads Trading
Another curated consignment shop with another location in the mission.
