“Dope Era is, No Question the Saucest clothing store I have ever had the pleasure of stepping inside the front door of. Fab is the Man also No Question, I'm not saying that because I know the guy or because we were both raised in North Oakland. I'm saying that because it's a great store that offers a great experience and mainly because your drip will be turned up to a Million degrees after you throw on the gear you just purchased from Dope Era Believe it! P.s. I also wanted to say or more like needed to say that them cats working in there M or F are top of the line individuals that refused to let an old head like myself walk out of there without his drip dripping off his frame in a proper way and that's is coming from a who has been dripping candy clean since before drip was wet and dripping yadada mean? But ah any-how it was really really real up in that thang I mean these cats are experts in drip or in other words the ladies and gentlemen of said establishment are all themselves what I would consider connoisseurs of fine haberdashery and you can't go wrong if was to fall up in 'nere and take a gander at what the player has to offer, you will be glad you did Mackin, that's on C'tas. Oh who am I you asked? The name happens to be Scottie Thurman , one of the few Oakland Hoop legends from Bushrod Park in The North side of Oakland, I have always had the utmost respect and admiration for Mistah Fab and when we finally met he was like , yeah I know you by name only, your reputation proceeds you, they say you was a real problem for some hall of famers back in the day , it was said by someone and I won't say who that you someone who is also an Oakland Hoop Legend Superstar that you never lost to him or anyone a one v one match including the person who I HEARD say this and he won't have a problem with me saying his name, Hook Mitchell the Super Duper Star when it comes to street Hoop legends he is number #1 and he is one of your best friends no hook said you was his brother and that when you get it going your truly Unstoppable and he said you could go full speed without ever stopping and he Called you Y.C. what does Y.C. mean? It means Yo... ..”
“Love this store. I went in yesterday to check it out and found a really cute T-shirt style dress that came with a sash to snatch the waste. It’s so cute, soft, stretchy and has pockets! I look forward to going back to get their Santorini Cape.”
“This work out is perfect for my needs right now- low impact and high intensity, small muscle movements to build and, apparently, sculpt ??Beth is awesome, today was ???☄️?”
“Great selection of oakland gear, caps,shirts, jackets and sweaters. My only complaint is they do not offer senior or veteran discounts. Would not recommend to a fellow vet!”
“Julie at Maple Street Denim is incredible at determining fit and talking through differences between the denim brands and designs that her store carries. I found a pair of denim that was perfect for me and my first pair of selvedge! In love with the fit -- definitely trust Julie to help you find a size that works. Maybe due to modern vanity sizing, but I had to go 2-3 sizes down from my normal denim. I'll be back for repairs for my well-loved pairs :)”
“Great second hand woman's clothing store! We went with the whole family and found so many great things for my wife. The kids were cheering on mom as she found so many great items. But in all seriousness, there were lots of really nice designer clothing and accessories for women. Great shop!”
“Ruby and Zinzee (sorry about the spelling!) are both so friendly and personable. I love this shop - jewelery and clothing. There are hijabs or head wraps, mugs, and journals, and if you'd like to try anything on, there are dressing rooms in the back. I purchased a beautiful, tall mug that was design by an artist in Sacramento. It's such a unique shop and I had no idea but they've been here for over 20 years, or was it 30? How rare is that? They're family owned, too. Come check it out! When I mentioned that the mug (beautiful women of color all around the mug) will be a gift, for a friend, they placed it in a pretty gift bag and put colored tissue paper in there! It's ready to gift to her now! Perfect. They get merchandise that come in, so come check them out once in a while. They have a sale rack in the back to the right. There are jeans, dresses, tops, purses, small backpacks, hats, etc. Go check them out!”
“You can tell everything in this store was perfectly curated and picked! It's got a lot of heart, price ranges from low to high but that's reasonable considering they have smaller, local brands. There is jewelry, clothing, handbags and lots of fun pieces to keep your eyes busy. I wanted every piece in the store! I'll be back.”
“Fantastic Store! The customer service is so great. The quality and uniqueness of the clothes are worth every penny. I travel far to get to this store. I know of none other that compares that is a locally owned small business.”

“This is the cutest store with so many fun and clever gift ideas for kids and adults. The aesthetics are delightful and the product selection is really good, especially if you're looking for something a little different”
“I saw Lesley Evers clothing in my Facebook feed and was drawn to the colors and prints. It took me over a year to get here. I love the fact the clothes are designed in USA. There are so many cute items with fabulous colors. They are well made and good quality fabrics. The prices are very reasonable particularly considering they are made in the USA and not cheaply made in China. The sales clerk was very friendly and helpful. She was knowledgeable about the stock and sizes. Even my daughter saw sweaters she would wear. We will be back.”
“Customer service here was good for once. It was nice to walk into a Dietes discount store and they have a wide selection of everything you want. I will return as a satisfied, customer.”
“At this point, I have worked with Louisa several times and I am never disappointed with the end results. My clothes look great, and I always get compliments on my outfits.”

“I had an issue with a shoe size I bought in store. This place isn't for low income shooters, it is was not expensive than I might normally go for but I wanted solid strong shoes. I was able to get them replaced after 2 days. I'm disappointed that they tried to unplug my feedback after only 2 days and a request for exchange one”
“I dont want to place an order to get a new skirt to wear outside with the mister. I don't want my clothes to look like everyone else's. I inquiries like "where did you get your skirt/top/sweatshirt/tee?" I love getting custom designs on cute little bags. How do I scratch that itch? I shop at Threadz!”
“My heart dropped when I showed up at their old Piedmont Ave location and saw they were no longer there. Months later, I heard that they had relocated to 5505 College Ave in Oakland. WHEW!!! I now go there. I love this place, both their vintage items and their customer service! ❤️, Dominic Hicks”

“Great place to shop. Whenever I'm looking for something special, I go to the discovery store in Oakland. I am always pleased and amazed at the selection! Check it out!”
“The owners vision and style are a mirror of my own and I felt IMMEDIATELY comfortable upon stepping in... Her energy is so kind & sympathetic with a hint of feminine panther-ism... YOU GO QUEEN. YOU GO.”
“She got me together for the Alicia Keye's concert last night; and I was like a walking movie star getting a TON of compliments on my pink dress! She is a wonderful; honest and kind woman who knows fashion and I trust her with her advice about what Looks look best on me and to not be shy. Well, this has changed my life now because I am now going to start being unapologetically FASHIONAL. Yes, new word is "FASHIONAL".”
