Bluebird

Reasonable prices. Cute dresses, jewelry, sunglasses, and purses. The owner and the sales girls are mostly friendly and honest.
It’s just a cute little shop in Lower Haight that you just want to love. And. now that I’m in New York where vintage is as expensive as designer clothing, I really appreciate this small gem.

This might be the cutest little store in the entire world. Awesome vintage finds in great condition. Such a gem!

I almost cried when I stopped by BB the other day only to find that it has sadly closed. I wish the owner all the best, your shop always brought a smile to my face and I will always love all the special pieces I bought from you, especially my amazing Balmain blouse. Best of luck.

I went here when visiting the area but i didnt really like the selection here

What a wonderful cute little store. Small, but such a nice variety!

when i first moved to the lower haight i wandering into bluebird. a stranger in a strange land, i found myself surrounded by beautiful things in a charming little store on one of the quieter streets in the neighborhood. it’s always a pleasure to stop in and try things on, even if sometimes the way they are sized makes me laugh. the store owner is a doll, and i’m so glad to have her around.

They just keep getting in better and cuter and sweeter and more amazing vintage finds every single day!!!

I must have caught them on an off day. Colleagues had raved about Bluebird before my 36-​day shopping extravaganza began… but when I finally arrived I found nothing to tweet about.
The selection was artfully chosen, but it was poorly sized. The fabrics and jewelry were lovely, but the rude staff ruined my experience. Upon asking a question re: a set of Indian Bangles, the sales woman told me «I think my friend is going to buy those later, so I can’t answer any questions.»
Humph. Okay then. Thanks.
Full disclosure: I am a clothing rep and I visit vintage and reuse boutiques as part of my job.

This store is different than the other vintage boutiques in the neighborhood. Bluebird stands apart because everything is so absolutely feminine. Every shelf holds delicate little notions for your wrists or waist. It’s obvious that great care is taken in choosing just the right flowy blouses and lacey dresses. Old lace, gold bangles, exotic earrings from far away places.
I really love the airy, ethereal vibe and the charming quality of the items available in this little boutique. It makes me really really thankful to be a girl.

I’ve been gone from the city for 10 months and this new little gem of a store has appeared. Vintage fabrics and inspiration… I love it.

fanTAStic! this is my new favorite neighborhood store. beautiful vintage stuff-​stocked up on old poly nighties and robes. got a fantastic purple dress from the 70’s. they also sell their own label of children’s clothes which are great but a bit pricey. found some cute stuff for my niece in the sale bin though. owner is super sweet and gives honest feedback when you do the fashion show thing. i love this place.

Love this place! The store carries the most adorable cocktail hats and clothes. I love the ladylike vibe of the store that echo another era.

I run through the lower haight all the time, and every time I pass this store I think to myself, «I should stop in, they have the cutest stuff in the window!» But since I’m sweaty and gross, I never do. I finally made my way there at a time when I was neither sweaty nor gross, and I’m so glad that I did!
According to the sales girl who was there when I went, the women’s clothes are collected from estate sales and Ebay by the owner of the store, who clearly has a great eye for fashion. She also designs adorable children’s clothes sold in the back of the store, and there’s a great collection of vintage jewelry and other accessories.
The space itself is really cute and comfortable, kind of in the shabby chic style, and they were playing great music. I just wanted to stay there all afternoon. The best part was when I found a skirt I liked that was tagged with two prices. I asked the girl which one was correct, and she said, «How about the lower one?» Worked for me. Can’t wait to go back to check out the new finds!

adorable, adorable, adorable!
I happened upon this little gem and drooled (sorry) over pretty much everything. My daughter is going to be much better dressed from now on!
It feels as pretty as it looks as pretty as everything inside. including the owner! (sorry wish i could remember your name)
peace.

I could have spent hours drooling over the gorgeous jewelry sold here, made by a certain Mayu (
), but I had to peel myself away before dollar signs started popping out of my eyes. Not inexpensive, but AMAZING craftsmanship and genius design. Reminds me of spring/​summer vintage Lanvin, famous for its fine silks and expert craft, but much much much closer to my pay scale. Who knows, though? Someday it may be worth tens of thousands, it’s that unique and beautiful. I walked out with a ring. I’ve been staring at it in amazement ever since. In a sea of Tiffany & CO and Juicy Couture, it’s refreshing to see independent designers still brave the market and, hopefully, make a big name for themselves.

I love my neighborhood more and more each day. Because each day it seems a shiny new store pops up. Like this one. It’s a tiny shop right next to Mickey’s Monkey, so you might miss it with all that furniture in the way.
The small space packs a lot in, without seeming overwhelming. Really awesome vintage finds for women line the right wall. Beautiful dressses and coats (not much casual wear), but a bit overpriced. However, you pay for the fact that the buyers have done the picking for you. No need to treasure hunt here; every piece is good find.
On the back wall are precious vintage-​inspired childeren’s clothing designed by the owner under the label, Bluebird– go figure. If I had children (one day… far away) I’d definitely dress them in these adorable little numbers. Along the counter and the antique cabinet to the right are dainty accessories from antique wallets to long gold necklaces.
When you’re looking for something unique, but don’t care to dig through the overcrowded racks of Wasteland or Held Over, or don’t have the time to make the rounds at American Rag, go here!
