Skirt Chaser Vintage

This store really is what the other reviews said –an absolute gold mine. I loved so many of the items in the store. Christina took it upon herself to help me pick out the perfect outfit and she was honest when I tried on things that didn’t work for me. The other salesperson was also delightful. I found the best pair of shoes, a great scarf, a belt and tops that I needed for a certain look I was trying to achieve for an event. Sometimes I’ve been to vintage shops or consignment and the clothes are hard to sort through. Not here! Its a beautiful store.

I have never bought anything from the store :(I don’t have a lot of money to toy around with. The three times I’ve wandered in the store just to admire their finds the lady, pretty sure shes the owner, was SO SO SO kind to me. Not like a cheesy please buy my things kind either, a genuine kind. When I do get some money coming in I will definitely be stopping in to buy something special for myself :)

My favorite vintage shop! I’m not small so it’s hard for me to fit into a lot of vintage clothing but Skirt Chaser provides many sizes. They have an amazing selection of quality items if you truly appreciate vintage clothing.

Christina showed us some wonderful options for my daughters prom dress. All would have been terrific. Then she went to the back and brought out THE ONE! A beautiful, pink, full length gown with tiers of lace and so much detail. It was love at first sight! Christina had her alterations person add the zipper and adjust the size. Christina– Thank you for providing us with this perfect dress! I will bring you a picture the next time we are in!

This place is an absolute gold mine. Outstanding pieces and affordable prices. Christina works hard to keep phenomenal clothes in average to bigger sizes on hand, so the regular sized woman isn’t trying to jam herself into an extra small.
She also selected about a dozen or so garments for me to try on and I loved every single thing. I’m a tall, busty gal. I left with four dresses, two skirts and a simply jaw dropping bathing suit and left behind three dresses I am still considering. Don’t worry, I didn’t completely clean out the shop! ;)
I also brought in vintage I’ve collected over the past 25 years for her, to trade. She selected all of the best pieces and I feel good about her finding good new homes for them.

–reasonable prices
–cute neighborhood/​nearby restaurants, etc.
–attentive knowledgeable staff
Very worth the drive from anywhere in the Bay Area or the stop off if you’re driving through town.

If you vintage shop a lot you begin to see a pattern. For whatever reason, the Greatest Generation of the Sonoma area had some really good taste. They’re all gone now and like the Pharoahs, they couldn’t take it with them. Win the future with some amazing items from here. The last time I came in I scored an amazing red hopsack blazer my tailor drooled all over for a week. Don’t miss this place.

I went here for the first time today and I was pretty happy with it. They have a good amount of items spanning the usual vintage store range of decades, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s. The prices were reasonable for just about everything, I ended up buying a really cute 50s casual shirt for $ 25. Most of the selection wasn’t quite my taste so I didn’t end up trying on a ton of stuff, but I’d still come back next time I’m in Santa Rosa.

SO MUCH FUN. Christina – and everyone at Skirt Chasers – is incredibly friendly and helpful, so much so that even if you show up alone, it feels like you’re shopping with a BFF who really, really wants you to find the perfect outfit. But if you don’t find the absolute right thing, there’s no pressure or guilt.
The selection is carefully curated and very diverse, both in terms of sizing (unusual in a vintage store, I’ve found) and period. Organized by decade, all the clothing is fabulous and in great condition. I bring friends here when they’re visiting Santa Rosa, and even when they’re in from Brooklyn or LA or somewhere with its own fantastic vintage shopping, they’re always blown away by this place.
Worth a trip from the SF or a check-​in if you’re visiting wine country, for sure.

I love this store. I just found it the other day after getting new running shoes at Fleet Feet around the corner. They have an amazing selection and pretty great prices. The owner was in that day and was super sweet. My only grip is that I haven’t won the lottery yet so I can’t spend as much as I want to in here!

Rating this one was difficult. I mean, when you’re looking for vintage clothing, this place has it ALL! They have costumes, dresses, goggles, shoes, accessories, everything – from every decade since forever ago!
However, it’s also a pretty steep place to buy things. I can honestly say that I have found same styles for much less expensive. It comes down to a choice. Do you want to spend the time on the hunt and creating the outfit? Or do you want a quick fix of something snazzy and perfect? Some of us like the hunt, but sometimes you just don’t have the time. If you don’t mind spending $ 100 on a vintage shirt or $ 50 on goggles, this is your store. If you’re a bargain shopper, it’s not for you.
But, seriously, they have everything! And, everything’s cute!
Also, I love, love, love an advertisement in the right dressing room. It’s an ad for a weight-​gain supplement for women who want to be more curvy. So cute! I wish society/​magazines/​media could grasp that form of beauty again.

If you are looking for vintage, this should be your first stop. For our recent wedding, we had a vintage theme for our rehearsal dinner. No end of trouble finding what we needed until we went to skirt chaser. My wife was able to get a dress hat and gloves that all matched at a very reasonable price. In addition to clothing, they have a good accessory collection for most any event including suitcases, lunch boxes, and jewelry.

Great little shop anytime I need that special item. I love being able to go in and tell Christina what I need and she will pull a selection of items that may work. It saves me time and I appreciate the help and her eye for fashion.

Skirt Chaser has a great selection of quality clothing for anyone who appreciates true vintage items.
It is one of the few places that I can happily shop at without boring my husband, who also loves vintage clothes. They have an awesome selection of men’s fashions, and it isn’t relegated to a tiny corner, like most places.
The owner is very friendly and welcoming. The décor in the dressing room is really fun; filled with ads and pictures from the 50s. I was able to try on about 5 dresses that fit well, which is rare! I didn’t find a keeper, but my husband found a great black and gray 50s era shirt that was reasonably priced.

Love love love this place. I found the BEST 60’s raw silk dress here, one that I have been searching eons for! It was just the right price as well. There is a ton to look at… and staff is super friendly to boot!

HOLY. MOLY.
I consider myself a pretty seasoned vintage clothes shopper and thought I’d seen just about the best vintage shops around. that is until I stumbled upon this place!
While touring with my bf’s band we try to hit up vintage shops in every city we go to. The moment him and I stepped into Skirt Chaser’s we were blown away. Their selection of authentic vintage wears are unbelievable!
I probably tried on at LEAST 30 dresses (out of which I would of bought nearly half if I had the money) but finally decided upon an amazing pastel, sleeveless, polyester dress that looks like it belongs on the set of Mad Men. It’s WONDERFUL and by far one of my favorite pieces of clothing.
We talked to the owner for a while, gave her a CD of my bf’s band (which she then played in the store AND put a link on her FB page of the band).
She was an absolute sweetheart.
I recommend checking this place out. I cannot wait to go back and bring as much $ as I can with me!

OMG! I have been wanting to go into Skirt Chaser but kept passing it while getting on the freeway! I finally went in and I swear this store is amazing! Christina (the owner) is so nice and let me try on all of the hats while she was ringing me out. The clothing I found was in excellent condition and very affordable! This is my new favorite store in Santa Rosa… well in all of Sonoma County actually! Love! Love! Love! I have told EVERYONE to go there!!!

The oddly negative review below has left me entirely puzzled.
I live in Oregon. OREGON. But Skirtchaser Vintage in Santa Rosa, Ca is one of my favorite shops. The owner Christina is knowledgable, friendly and honest. Whenever I visit my fella down in the east bay, I drive over an hour to come visit this store and shop with her.
I’ve found some amazing gems — a 50’s Hawaiian one-​shoulder playsuit with matching skirt in mint condition. A satin strapless wiggle dress with bolero — sold as is at a very fair price due to some minor issues.
Literally, this girl has such a good eye for vintage that she spotted me in a Goodwill parking lot on one my more casual days (I was thrifting my way up 101.) I’ve been a loyal customer ever since.
She cares for and displays her vintage with the same integrity of any good shop. If folks are concerned about displaying vintage, they should be much more concerned about folks like me – who wear it everyday, and in fact have worn out many items over years of good use. Clothes are not made to be looked at. They are made to be worn.
I’m a gal who wears her vintage. And I shop at Skirtchaser.

This store has a very nice selection of vintage pieces for men and women. A great bonus is that it carries a wide range of sizes, which is rare for many vintage stores.
I bought Hawaiian dress for $ 35 and two western shirts for my boyfriend at $ 15 each. Not thrift store prices but certainly more affordable then the vintage store downtown (forget the name).
I recommend stopping in here if you are ever in Santa Rosa. It is difficult to leave here empty handed — plus, the owner is totally cute!

Oh My!
I love this store.
Christina, the owner is fantastic. She knows her vintage.
Her taste and therefore inventory, is incredible and reasonably priced. I have yet to go in there and not find something that I have to own.
You gotta love a place that streams real live rockabilly and has a wall of tiki heads. (My personal favorite is the tiki made from kitchen drawer pulls)
It is the best vintage clothing store I’ve found in NorCal.
And what a cute location! Santa Rosa Arts District, NICE!

Probably the best vintage clothing store in northern california… take that back, THE best vintage clothing store… anywhere…
Not only is the owner one cute little chica but she has an astounding selection of fashion from nearly every era and is incredibly knowledgable about her inventory
Prices: very resonable considering the array and fantastic condition of her items
Service: freakin’ awesome (no family guy allusion intended)
Next time you’re in Santa Rosa do yourself a fashion favor and stop by this swingin’ boutique and get yourself some rockin’ duds
