WE ARE MORE THAN A SHOP WE ARE A COMMUNITY
We are loving this spring weather
The weather in the Bay Area has been beautiful. With the new spring season we are switching out all the heavier items and replacing them with lighter weight new arrivals. We have been getting a lot of requests for wedding guest attire, birthday parties, graduations and travel. So we have been really busy buying and filling the shop both in store and online for your convenience. Silks, Cottons, Linen, Prints, Sets and More.....
We have an alteration specialist
We have an alteration specialist. You can get your pretty penny items altered. Or bring in your own outside items to use these services.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PRETTY PENNY
Pretty Penny was established in 2006
We carry Vintage | Modern clothing, shoes and accessories.
Just A Few Brands We Carry:
KNICKEY - organic cotton bra + underwear. New York
Sustainable from the Start
Knickey was founded as a sustainable brand from the start - seeking out the most environmentally responsible processes, low-impact fabrics and ethical manufacturing - and we're always ready to do more. We swap the greenwashing for integrity and accountability. By choosing Knickey, you can be confident that every step of our design, product and business has been carefully considered.
BAGGU - A bay area local. Sustainable Accessories. Women Owned. Ethical And Wonderful.
LE BON SHOPPE - SLOW FASHION
Unlike fast fashion which is ephemeral in both quality and style, slow fashion products are made to last the whims of trends and the wear and tear of time. It is a lifestyle that means making a more conscious choice to consume less, and consume better by choosing companies and quality products that are meant to last many seasons.
Even more, we do not follow the traditional never ending seasons of the fashion industry. Caught in a never ending grind of meeting self-conceived deadlines and launch dates, factories are placed under high pressure which can compromise integrity and lead to burn out. We are flexible and compassionate with our factories and value all those who have a hand in making all things Le Bon Shoppe as people first. We give ourselves ample time to restock and don’t sweat it if things don’t go according to schedule!
CAVE GLOW CANDLES - Hand Poured. Small Batch. Ethically Sourced. Small Business. Catskills New York
FREYRES SUNGLASSES - chicago
Our storefront is open Wednesday-Saturday 12-6
Our online store is open 24|7 with new arrivals listed daily
since re-opening pretty penny brick and mortar in the east bay
We opened our new shop on October 13th in Berkeley, CA. Opening during a pandemic has been challenging. Many of our past customers have moved away or moved on from vintage so it feels like we are starting over. We are taking it day by day in figuring out how best to run this new shop. I am grateful more than ever for our online store and online customer base. It seems shopping is moving away from in person ( pandemic and otherwise ) and more and more people are shopping online. We will continue to explore all of our options on how to operate in this new and ever changing time. Thank you for your continued support of us and the shop. xo
