Our Story
We are one of the East Bay's original consignment boutiques! We are a locally-owned, women-owned, and Latina-owned small business that has been operating the Bay Area for over 25 years. We offer a wide selection of secondhand women's apparel, shoes, jewelry and accessories. We are a haven for local Bay Area bargain hunters and thrifters!
One step inside and you'll find a well-edited selection of stylish and contemporary labels at affordable prices. Our store features a large and ever-changing collection of both designer and non-designer pieces. When we buy consignment, we focus on style, condition, and season; we are unique in that we take everything from Zara to Anthropologie to Chanel!
We actively support greener business practices by offering customers recycled bags at checkout. We also encourage bag-free shopping! Reusable paper and plastic bag donations are welcomed from the community.
In the words of our owner, Lucy Ross: "I wanted to create a business that combined fashion with community while providing customers a place to shop that was different from shopping at the big box retailers. In 1994 I took the leap and opened Sola Lucy on a little Berkeley street off of 5th and Delaware. We’re still going strong 25 years later! Even with the closure of Berkeley, we’ve continued business in Montclair. Next to opening my store, having my daughters has been the greatest achievement of my life; I am so happy to be their role model every day. Thank you for your continued support of Sola Lucy. It means the world to me!"
