Afterlife Boutique

would say I found a very nice jacket here. but the service could be better: I did not feel completely welcomed or respected somehow

Great real vintage. A little overpriced, the cheapest thing was the $ 10 t shirt bin. The rest are some $ 40 tees, $ 30 – 60 shirts. Lots of jewelry and fun accessories

I love this shop! I have been to many vintage clothing stores throughout the Bay Area and I was thrilled to discover Afterlife Boutique after finding them via Etsy. Afterlife Boutique was selling my «Holy Grail» vintage Forty Niner jacket that I have been coveting since I was a kid! This jacket was the end all and be all of my vintage Forty Niner collection!
I spied the jacket on Etsy’s website and was thrilled to see that they were located right here in the Bay Area! I got in contact with the wonderful Luke who is nothing short of amazing! Really knowledgeable about vintage and sports vintage as well! I put a deposit so that he could reserve the jacket for me and I made arrangements with him to pick it up!
I was so glad that they were willing to let me pick up the jacket in person as I wanted to visit the store. The store is so wonderful with clothing for both men and women. The store’s layout was easy to navigate and was displayed well. Unfortunately Luke was not there when I picked up my jacket but I met with his lovely mother. She was so pleasant.
The jacket was just as described and I could not be happier with it! I can’t wait for football season to begin sporting this jacket! I am sure I will be back to this store for more vintage treasures sports related or otherwise. There is a lot to see in this store so give yourself time. Thank you again Luke for a wonderful item that will bring me years of enjoyment. I really appreciate it!

They carry some labels, as well as some vintage consignment? The space is really pretty. Lots of woods and lit warmly. I found a cute dress, and asked the clerk if he had another, because there was a small hole at the chest. He went to go check, but came back saying that was the only one. He was happy to give me half off, which was so kind. When I tried it on, it was far too short, which made me so sad, because the dress was lovely.
I would definitely come back to see what comes and goes. It kept my attention and had enough cute stuff to have me looking through the whole store. The space is a little small, but that also usually means there are hidden gems abound. I can’t wait ti find one here :)

Interesting little boutique I popped into with my gal. They have a combination of Retro/​New, Vintage, and Consignment. Leather jackets, boots, shoes, concert shirts, and dresses make up the majority of the stock.
My gal tired on a few things that just didn’t fit quite right. But I get the feeling we’ll check em out again.

Love this store. The owner is a sweet heart and they really know their stuff. I love hunting for the perfect piece for the right price. Sure there are things that get a little pricy but you’re paying for the find people! If you could just go to a thrift store and score on OG Michael Jackson/​Madonna concert tee more power to ya, but let’s be honest you can’t. So support those with awesome vintage shopping sense and an independent store at that.

Easily one of my favorite vintage stores.
Tees can be a little expensive, but I can find rad enough shirts where I’m willing to pay the price. I got my favorite Harley Davidson tee here. The variety here is consistently good.
Love the second hand boots as well! Keep it up guys and I will keep on’ comin’

Lovely store, lovely staff. Wish they had more for me to browse through! I bought an awesome dress, some rings, and glasses for around $ 60!

Afterlife has really cool vintage finds, as well as more modern clothes and accessories .You have to watch yourself though, things can add up, or one piece can be a tad bit of a bank buster. Just watch the tags closely so when you get to paying you’re not like,“WOA THAT SEEMS A LOT”. Staff isn’t super aggressive maybe that’s why people think they come off rude, but when you ask them a question, or chat at the counter they seem quite nice. I personally don’t like to be accosted with up in my grill sales people so I prefer the laid back approach

This place gets 5 stars just for having size 5 vintage shoes! It’s so hard finding shoes, especially used, in my size but Afterlife had an abundance of them. It was hard walking out with just two.
The overall style of this place is vintage/​hipster/​hip, but not in a dirty way. They’ve got interesting used clothes and fashionable new clothes. The also have a bunch of cute accessories.
What’s unfitting is that they were playing 90s hip hop — but that was cool, it’s what I like listening to anyways.

Love this place, the selection is continuously evolving but they remind true to a core audience that requires cost effective, good looking clothing for a «marginal look”(edgy). The music, Snoop Doggy Dogg to Underground Ambient to Kanye always reflects the type of energy I like to harness while shopping.

The salesman here could not have been more rude to me. I dared to come in shopping with a friend and a baby. I asked to see the sunglasses in the window, since the sign says ‘ask for assistance.’ He refused.
Check out Bell Jar, they are super sweet and have lovely wares.

Know what kind of afterlife I want? The kind that starts with a breakneck taxi ride, with a cultist driver, who demands my Nyarlathotepian servitude, with us teetering on the edge of a bridge, then plummeting to a river and a watery grave.
I basically want to die and become Bill Cosby. And I want to wear bootleg clothes from here once I’ve done so.

Lately this place just isn’t as awesome as I once found it. It’s also possible that my tastes have changed in the last 2 years.
I still stop in to see if any bunny fur jackets or quality leather goods are in. But I miss the revamped vintage skater dresses and the feeling that they were doing something different than everyone else.

Afterlife has a curated selection of consignment pieces, not a mishmash of used clothing and accessories you can find anywhere. Very cool vintage items like Ray-​Bans ($ 100+), interesting rings ($ 20+) and other jewelry and really fun tees ($ 15-​$ 20). The atmosphere is definitely bohemian hipster. Love the leather satchels and booties, too.

Love this store. I can rely on Afterlife to find some well worth it, fashionable clothes. Every time I have been to Afterlife, I have noticed that it is a bit overpriced.
There are lot of cute dresses, vintage tees, and jackets. Afterlife is extremely clean, awesome, and just a really good store compared to the other clothing stores around. Other stores are just full of oversized rags. However, one thing Afterlife could improve on is carry more female jackets.
Afterlife also has a wide selection of vintage jewelry (along with their tees, sweaters, and dresses).

Cute! I like this place and didn’t come in with expectations.
Flattering, affordable sunglasses for most face shapes which are hard to come buy these days. Cute rings too.
My favorite purchase, which I spotted on the way out is this white dress which has a gorgeous back and is super flattering. I like that they had feminine stuff and more vintage stuff as well. I don’t know if crop tops are considered feminine but they had a copious amount of those too.

So far I have only bought a few rings and sunglasses here but that is because I never get to spend the time I want there and actually forced my boyfriends to drive out of our way so I could run inside and grab sunglasses before a road trip, just cus I knew I’d find ones I liked there.
It is not big and there isn’t a whole lot but it is obviously hand picked vintage to the point where you do a double take wondering if it was manufactured just for the place. Then, when you realize it is actually authentic vintage, it’s even better.
Always neat and easy to shop in, nice prices for accessories, and it stands out among many cluttered and dime a dozen shops in the area.

So many beautiful reincarnations of hot vintage items in here. And it’s very affordable. This store speaks to me on so many great levels.

I came into this store with high expectations given the almost uniformly high marks on Unilocal.I left really disappointed. Let me start off by saying that the general aesthetic here is not my thing, which is very vintage and leans kind of hipster (vintage reconstructed tees). There were some Allen Edmonds that I was tempted by, but they were half a size too small. In general, not my scene. But I’m not going to dock them on that.
What I will dock them on is plainly exorbitant pricing. I saw some price tags that made my damn eyes bug out the back of my head. And that’s fine if it’s commensurate with what you’re purchasing. But I saw one leather jacket on the jacket rack that was in terrible condition. The leather in numerous large spots was abraded past the point of reasonable repair and the elastic knit cuffs had sizable holes in both. They were asking $ 125! Granted I’m sure it was a very expensive piece brand new, but really? I looked around and generally would not pay the prices I saw on the clothing. At those prices, I’d rather just buy it new or off eBay.
On the plus side, the space is really cool. It’s very neatly laid out, clean, eclectic, and funky in its aesthetic, and they are obviously very big on presentation. I tried on some shoes, put them back up against the wall, and someone who worked there immediately came and adjusted them so they were perfectly parallel with the other shoes.
I’s a nice little spot to wander into and browse if you’re in the area and you might find a gem or two. And if you have the money to spend, there are some nice kitschy finds. But I would not come back regularly to shop.
