As much fun vintage shopping online
can be, sometimes you just cant beat visiting a vintage shop in real
life. Its hard to say when I first came across Graciela, who
used to own
Guys and Dolls in Noe Valley, was it the times I
would browse around drooling over the gorgeous vintage dresses, or was
it when I finally bought a
leather
and fur coat from her at the Deco Show a couple of years ago. My
friend Jim mentioned she reopened a shop on Haight Street, and yesterday
we went to go visit the new location,
Mystery Mister. This new shop is
something else, kind of like visiting a grandmas attic without the
musky smell. I loved all the accessories, at reasonable prices (most in
the $20-$60 range), hand-carved wooden brooches, antique keys and
anchors (one I had to buy, more on that soon). The odd antique decor
gave me loads of inspiration of what to do with my minimalistic home.
And the clothes, most of it mid-century, I felt was in great condition
and decently priced. There is also a menswear section, with dead stock
ties and and other mens-y accessories. It certainly is a place for those
who love detail, and a treat for the eye.
