Tribal Weaver

Stopping by here was supposed to make me sooo happy but instead it made me sad.
This was my favorite shop growing up, back when it was next to the Del Oro. I was super excited to go back and find some of the fun stuff from the old days.
The shop has changed quite a bit. There wasn’t any of the stones or magic fairy hippie type stuff… no candles or any of the things I was used to. The gals working were super nice and helpful as they could be.
I ended up and the Auburn one a while later and found out the the two stores are no longer connected and have different owners, which I’m sure attributes to the changes in the type of product they stock. as well as the price increases.
The GV one still smells like Tribal Weaver. so that made me happy.
All in all… if you’re looking for the tribal weaver you grew up with — go to the one in Auburn.

My favorite store in Grass Valley. The staff is super nice and personable. The jewelry is my favorite part of this place (and the back room) some of the most beautiful handmade & organic jewelry I’ve ever seen. Looooove this place. Prices aren’t bad either.

Still my favorite place in Grass Valley to shop, browse, and people watch! Something for everyone at awesome prices. Always one of my first stops in GV! The girls that work there are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the products!

I love love love this place. The products are amazing and made with quality. The have a huge selection of incense, purses, wallets, body jewelry, etc… This is always my first stop when I need a gift for someone. I also love their American apparel sweaters. The ladies that work there are super friendly and always helpful. This is my favorite store in Grass Valley :) Gotta check this place out.

Stopped in to return a defective metal «tobacco product» the 90 degree elbow fitting leaked which obviously would affect performance. A young girl with longish dirty blonde hair tried to convince me that through the adjustment of the stem fittings this problem could be solved. I replied that her remedy did not apply to my situation. She suggested that I just clean it more often. All the time I was instructed not to expose the device that was in my pocket even though I told her twice it was unused. I called the next day to speak with the owner. I was told that she was one of the owners hmmmmmm. I was asked if I had read the return policy and I replied that I had. I explained my problem with the defective device again and was told that I could not return it but, she may be able to solve my problem with an O ring. I will not shop here again until they re-​evaluate and modify their highly restrictive return policy. I was also treated rudely when I walked out of the store in a huff.

I love this store! The staff is amazing, and very polite. They immediately help you with anything you need! The store is roomy and smells great.
The only things I don’t really like about the store, but I can look passed, is the expensive prices, not much selection in the ear plug section, and the sometimes miss-​marked items.
I say that for expensive prices because their quality is A-​M-​A-​Z-​I-​N-​G.
For the miss-​marked items, I have bought a size 4G plug and gotten home and have it be a size 00G. This wouldn’t be a bad thing, but they do not accept returns with jewelry, for obvious reasons.
The ear-​stretching section is a bit limited, but the plugs/​tapers they do have, are cool and unique.

Hometown hippie…
If you ever pass through Grass Valley or Nevada City, on your way to Tahoe, be sure 2 stop and check out Tribal Weaver and Rainsong. You’ll want to hug a tree after :)
