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

A little bit about Pretty Penny
Eco-Friendly
We don't have shopping bags, we encourage our customers to carry out their larger items and offer recyclable paper boxes for jewelry and smaller items. We sell Baggu tote bags that are made of nylon and are reusable and long lasting.
We don't print out paper receipts we can text and/or email through our touch less checkout portal.
We are working on better eco-friendly packaging for online orders. ( priority for 2021 )
What Do We Have To Offer
Hand Picked items that are great quality construction and fabric. Size Variety. Affordable Pricing. Our items are chosen to be timeless yet trendy pieces that can become a staple item in your closet for many many years.
One On One customer service. You can DM us / email us and we will respond. Covid has made scheduling and response time lag, but we are setting systems in place to make sure our customer service is even better.
We offer you a community that is based on mutual respect and integrity.
We are different from box stores and big business because we are the people behind our entire business and every aspect of it. The money we make from our business goes back into purchasing new items for our customers. Our profit helps buy our groceries, pay for our home, pay bills, ability to have a car/insurance. support our 9 year old daughter. pay off debt. We give back to our community by shopping local and donating to causes we believe in. We are grateful to have your support as we use our platform to speak out about social justice and reform on every level. It is no secret how we feel about Politics and Humanity.
Our moto has been "We are more than a shop we are a community" This means helping others in anyway we can. That can be listening to a customer who is having a hard time whether we know them or not, we care. Community means doing the things we say we believe in. Shopping Local. Shopping Small. Supporting Others. Donating And Fundraising has been a large part of our platform and our social media allows us to reach further than the fashion industry.
