Sometimes your favorite look just can't be found in a certain kind of pattern or color or size and you've gotta do a little "cheat." Can you guess which of the menswear coats in the photo showing two of them side-by-side in the column over there on the right is the real vintage and which is the new, vintage-inspired piece? Vendima carries Classic Hardware jewelry, which looks and feels like old Bakelite (see photo at right), shoes, coats, dresses, skirts and menswear that are reminiscient of 40s and 50s styles. Some of the new retro offerings include designs by local peeps Brown Sound, Sailor Jerry (did you know he was a real tattoo artist in the 30s and 40s? Yep he was, and you can get stationery here with his tattoo art as well as menswear sort of bowling shirts), Lucky 13, Rock Steady, and beau bois. Graciela Ronconi moved to this primo spot (right next to Peasant Pies near the MUNI 24 bus line) and changed the store name to Vendima (which means "vintage" in Portugese) after 11 years at "Guys and Dolls" in a lesser-traveled Noe Valley location. She buys clothes from the public--you can call to set up an appointment to sell your duds--and from trade shows and wholesalers who scout and buy all over the country. Winona Ryder shops here and scouts from Louis Vuitton, Burberry, and Ralph Lauren regularly check out the offerings for inspiration. I was digging the partytime Jackie O. looking metallic-threaded tweedish dresses with matching coats and if I didn't already have a couple sets from Aunt Esther I would have indulged. In the far back of the store you can find gifts and the ever-popular sales rack; a sweet selection of vintage plastic baby clothes hangers were going for $2.50 each and some lovely dresses were marked way down (see photos at right). Graciela is a gracious gal with a real vintage flair; let her style your vintage look. _______________ Monday-Friday 11-7pm; Saturday/Sunday 11-6pm Don't miss the end-of-season sales! (415) 285-7174

Of course the selection varies but Mary's seems to consistently offer sizable selections of pre-worn designer jeans, not-so-boring office clothes, colorful designer leisure wear, designer handbags, and cashmere sweaters. This time I was smitten with the dazzling array of sparkly brooches and couldn't stop eyeing the impressive cotton skirt selection. Labels you'll bump into here, many of them local, include Citron, CP Shades, Weston Wear, Michael Stars, and Haley Bob. Maybe it's time to purge: Mary's offers a 50/50 consignment deal: you leave items for 50 days, you split the selling price 50/50. Consignment drop-in hours are 12:15-3:30pm Sunday-Friday. You'll also find new goods here. Owner Wendy (Mary's is named for Wendy's daughter) also buys inventory direct from vendors and you can find last season's items here and overstock from vendors like Neesh, Flax, and Solitaire. ________ Monday-Saturday 12-7pm, Sundays 12-6pm 415.282.6955
