Cool store! I went there to sell items and the staff was really nice - plus they pay 35% on the spot. However, they only bought one item, because they are primarily focused on designer labels now. Good thing to know before you take anything there.

If you love designer resale shops this place is a must. Purchased some great finds this weekend. Definitely recommend and I definitely will return on my next trip to San Francisco.

I’ve only been twice and I’ll never go again! first experience, a security guard followed me around while I had my headphones in, and made me uncomfortable, all because I had a personal bag on me. second time, I went to exchange clothes and all they did was take one look and gave it all back to me without explanation and the person at the counter just walked away and tended to someone else before I could say anything else. workers there just don’t seem too friendly or customer experienced! not to mention everything is marked up three times the original retail price, which is a bit obnoxious for a thrift store. overall, service isn’t great, and I could’ve been dealt with in a different way.

Maybe its the mens clothes, but I couldnt find a single thing under $80, including t-shirts that I wouldnt pay more than $20-30 for. Thrifty? I dont think so. Giving it three stars because of the vibe and because there seem to be some good bargains on the womens side.

Legendary clothing store. I got my new winter jacket there for a dope price.

Definitely not a “thrift store.” Prices are a little neck breaking, but there are really cool designer finds, and everything is beautifully organized and merched-so the staff know what they are selling.Just have a tempered expectation before you go in, and a curious mind to find some cool pieces.

Wasteland has the best buyers of designer clothing in the Bay area they pick only the coolest most original items for sale. Takes a very particular discerning eye to do this kind of work and they seem to hire people consistently that have that discerning eye. The management is fantastic too. More importantly they know these products that theyre buying and that kind of knowledge is invaluable. Go anytime you will definitely find something you like.

One of my favorite secondhand clothing stores! All of the staff Ive encountered were welcoming and friendly. Ive sold here a few times and the staff are knowledgeable about various fashions and trends and price their inventory fairly/according to current market prices, not insanely inflated Depop prices. The designer inventory is significantly greater than their vintage and contemporary inventory, but the curation of the staff allow for many happy customers, as the inventory follows a wide range of styles. The staff are also very good at weeding out duds and fakes, so you can take it easy when youre shopping for high end goods. The store itself is well maintained as staff are regularly reorganizing the racks and picking up any possible fallen garments.

Awesome deals on designer brands, but I don’t recommend selling here, they really lowball when it comes to buying. But hey who doesn’t like a deal?! Great quality products though I must say!

Literally brought 4 bags of fire, they took 18 items tops and then tried to lowball on everything. Vintage concert shirt Scorpions/Alice Cooper oh we will give you 8 bucks for this, etc. Spend the time and go elsewhere. Oh and when I said nah Ill take my clothes to their LA location, they bad talked the LA location and they forgot to pull out the 3 they had already tagged and left in theur basket. Shady as a MF

Friendly staff but they ask for high end items. Thats all cool. They didnt take any of my 50s style wiggle dresses or similar style shoes. Just a heads up.

One of my favorite things to do in San Francisco is go thrift shopping on Haight and Wasteland is always one of my favorite stops. Ive found some really amazing pieces here including a pair of Levis 501s! The shop is well organized and clean. They have some really amazing vintage t shirts that I swoon over every time, as well as ranks of vintage high end designer wear. Really fun and good sized place to shop vintage and second hand in a super rad San Francisco neighborhood. 10/10 recommend as a must do while in the bay area.

Review №21

A great store for vintage and fun clothing. They have a huge variety of clothing, shoes and purses. Everytime Im in the San Francisco area, I make sure to stop in and I never leave empty-handed. As a plus, its located in the Haight neighborhood in the downtown San Francisco area, so it is surrounded by other original stores, shops and boutiques. The store and the neighborhood is definitely worth a visit!

I realize this is a used clothing store, they call vintage. However used clothing does not need to be dirty, and ripped. I understand it may show signs of wear.. but the prices they charged, it should have been perfect.

Went to wasteland to sell some clothes. The workers skipped over me while I was waiting and they all kept talking trash about me as they were behind the counter. I literally had not even spoken a word to them yet. They are very judgement and whomever walks in there. The atmosphere was just filled with entitled employees that think they own the world

Super edgy and fashion forward place. not all the employees are very friendly and i’d like to see more selection in some things . super cool neighborhood to vibe out in with some friends and do some casual shopping maybe with a significant other. Not the best store on the block but deff not the worst. Also you guys should fire your racist employees 🤷🏼‍♀️

Curated vintage store with some steals. This place knows what they are selling, and the process reflect that. If you know what you are looking for, you can get some great deals, but this is not Goodwill.

Review №33

Theres no shortage of great designer finds at wasteland. The large selection of wears spanning many different styles and designers will have something for any discerning shopper. From a sellers perspective I think they get you the raw end of the deal for the most part and is not really any negotiation you could take him some shoes that are worth $500 and Ill give you 40 bucks for the its a little bit of a rip off. But honestly, what can you expect, this is SF after all. Anyway, they are definitely worth checking out. I highly recommend stopping by next time youre in the area and maybe youll find yourself that one special piece of vintage clothing youve been looking for.

Wasteland sells primarily used clothing of a more recent vintage...70s, 80s and newer dominate. Well laid out, however clothing is not sized so prepare to scour racks if you are serious.Lots of shoes, designer items or judicious knock offs. Decent selection of mens items. Not much jewelry.To sell: have ID. You will receive 35% of the selling price.

Review №41

Its more than a bit pricey as so many of the reviewers have noted. Lets be honest: its expensive. And the selection of goods is mediocre at best. You need to find something that really thrills you to justify the price.

The selection here is less than thrilling although there are good scores to be had if you are patient enough. LA locations always seem to satisfy me, where as this Bay Area location its a 50-50 chance based only on my own personal experience

Best Wasteland Ive been to so for! Way cooler stuff as in LA and not as ridiculously expensive! Also very neatly sorted so it feels like shopping and not like a muckrage! One of my fav vintage stores. Pro-Tip: go there in the morning when they open during the week to be all by yourself and have everything perfectly sorted ;)

Great collection of designer and actual vintage and grail items. Some pricing is a bit out there, not every Supreme tee is worth $200, but I have picked up some collector pieces that were priced very low compared to their value

Review №47

Dont get me wrong, Wasteland has the best selection of clothes of any thrift store I have visited, but the prices are a little ridiculous. Nowhere else would I have to pay $80 for a USED wool jacket. Nonetheless, I still love this store and give them my money

I overall love wastelands, but found a comme de garcon jacket for 400$ that smelled like raunchy gym socks or armpit stench. I would have got it for 100$ because Id have to get it cleaned but no reasoning with these people and felt very unwelcome after I expressed my feeling for this merchandise. Dont know if Ill shop there again.

Wasteland is not what it was in the 90s thats for sure. The clothes are insanely overpriced. The atmosphere is open well light and relatively clean and you can find the occasional gem...though surprisingly few of them in my opinion. The staff is rude.

I can never leave without spending twice as much as I intend to. Great selection of shoes and dresses, big mens section as well. I prefer this spot to a few of the other used clothing stores on Haight as there is much more selection to choose from. Plus the staff are less stand-off-ish.

Review №64

Decent place for vintage clothing, accessories, & shoes. Ive purchased a few distressed cowboy boots here. A bit overpriced though. Their vintage band t-shirts can range from $50 & up. Service is a hit or miss. Sometimes you get friendly cashiers, but mostly youll run into egotistical fashionistas that are unapproachable. Wish they kept the black & white photobooth-it was once a main attraction here.

Review №66

I just purchased a Louis Vuitton belt from wasteland about 4 hours ago, thinking it was legitimate, after deciding to authenticate it, I realized that it was fake! I’m leaving a 1 star review because I expected that a store that deals high end fashion pieces should be able to spot a fake. After a close examination of the belt, it rang every bell for being a fake, it’s screws weren’t flat, it had Louis Vuitton ingraved in the back or the buckle (telltale sign of a fake) the buckle was off to the side, and the belt said made in France, when the specific model is supposed to be made in Spain. But at the time in the store i didn’t know what to look for, and being in a store that deals with high end fashion regularly I expected them to have at least taken a few moments to authenticate the belt before throwing on a price tag, and not a cheap one either.Anyway there’s that, it’s also a little bit pricey, which I guess is expected, and some of the employees are rather rude otherwise they do have some cool stuff, but make sure to authenticate whatever you plan on purchasing before doing so.

9/10 Would Recommend-Large selection, unique clothes, priceyOverall, Wasteland is my favorite thrift clothing store in San Francisco. I’ve found some of my favorite articles of clothing here - leather jackets for $40, All Saints jeans for under $40, countless t shirts and much more.That said, this isn’t the place to come for cheap clothes. You can expect to spend as much or more shopping here as you would at H&M or Urban Outfitters, BUT the clothing choices are much better in my opinion. You’ll have to sift, but often times there are more unique options and designer labels hiding among the racks.They have a wide range of clothes for guys and girls. They also carry a lot of marked down designer clothes. I picked up a Comme des garçons shirt a month ago for $70.The staff is usually friendly and helpful, and while I always leave in awe of how much money I spent, the clothes I buy always get a lot of good use. I send all of my friends here!

Let me just start by saying that I love Haight street. Wasteland is such a fun store. It fits the vibe of Haight so well. I frequently like to visit the thrift shops along haight, and on my walk of Haight as I like to call it, I always stop by wasteland. I wouldnt say that he store is the most unique place, however, it does fit the neighborhood and I thoroughly enjoy it and recomend it for anyone on the path of haight
