[@melodiemonroe8106]

Haha, same. I love vintage clothes, but it's sooo expensive, I'm also plus size so most don't fit me. :(

"To me nothing is sexier than class"

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

What a funny comment that was: nobody from England would EVER say something that dopey and weird.

[@hannahofaragon2224]

I wish I lived near San Fransisco so I could go there!! It's my dream store. :)

[@HattieMcDanielonaMoon]

She's not very nice.

[@mrs.s8855]

Read the reviews!!!

[@xsweetcloud]

Nothing is sexier than class. PREACH IT Miss Cicely! Couldn't agree more! How lovely

[@esrana02]

Vocal fry is excruciating on the ears. The rest is just lovely! Great work she is doing!

[@NatschoNotorious]

She is great, I love characters like her!

[@ivetter.2443]

What a unique lady. I love vintage boutiques and it would be so nice to visit hers.

[@melodiemonroe8106]

Are you black too? I haven't met many black people who wear vintage too. That is awesome! Thumbs up to you.

[@Charmingpreppylife]

Melodie Monroe I love everything about this exchange it made me smile 💕

[@amoliver1234]

One of the best Mode videos ever! I only wish this was longer. Two other wishes: spending hours in her store and having her show me all her favorite pieces. Cicely--do you ever have fashion shows highlighting these beautiful clothes?

[@littlemizzging1269]

Life goals

[@TALULAH13]

Absolutely lovely to listen to a lady who speaks of vintage clothing with so much passion. Simply wonderful ❤

[@LMWelsh-oh5iu]

OMG I love her! I love the 30s, 40s, & 50s

[@izoraburns4578]

so glad to see someone keeping this up in my Home Town. I used to work at "A Stitch In Time" on Haight St. A very small Store connected w an Antiqued Store. I also made clothing for Boutiques & my XL friends that couldn't find "groovey" clothes in they're size. Now I'm doing it again--all the special clothes from the '60s/'70s--Doily blouses, Hanky Skirts, Scarf Dresses, added vintage material of lace to denim etc. I own FLASHBACK in Eureka, CA. I'll check out your etsy site. Mine is izorasflashback. Love Izora

[@zoejones1040]

I’ve actually been to this store and it was just a lot of bad energy. I get that you can’t touch some stuff (that’s fine) but I felt like I was being watched. It’s hard to enjoy something when you feel like your going to get yelled at.

[@Sunshiiineandstorm]

Zoë Jones she is so passionate about what she does and she probably feels the energy when someone does not show the same amount of respect for these clothes.

[@arin7981]

She's a gem....❤️❤️❤️ Her enthusiasm😀😀....the place i live have no vintage stores....

[@laughingcat]

When I visit San Francisco, I always go to this store and I've spoken with Cicely every time; she is a wonderful wonderful lady and SO interesting! I just love her!! And the store...swoon!!!!!!

[@susiebutler7774]

i love this store. I've lived on Haight Street in the 1970's. Irish Linen dresses in all the sherbet colors, all the amazing clothes. I still have lots because they are made so well and the fabric is outstanding.

[@merfwriter]

I lover her personally made 1920s inspired dresses especially the wedding dress. Oh my gosh its gorgeous.

[@kittysusca]

This woman is incredible,and her collection is incredible. Better than New York,and I never say that. But shes really got it,and she loves it,and she looks good in it. Its a passion.

[@DywenFuu]

Ah I've been there before like 3 or 4 years ago, love that vintage shop.

[@juliasteinweh-adler5288]

lol I clicked on this video and realized I have been here, one of the few places I went to in San Francisco. Weird vibes in that store, awesome to look through though. Also I recommend looking at the yelp reviews for this place, they are pretty entertaining.

[@aishahussain2337]

I’d have a ball shopping at this vintage store! The vintage stores where I live only sell clothes from 1960’s onwards, which is disappointing for me since I like 1940’s fashion. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how this shop is organised by decade- such a good idea for people who like styles of clothing reminiscent of specific eras!

[@aliciayoung3392]

Your Store is My Kinda Store!! That Era Was so Classy 👗

[@witchylyrics5556]

I love her! She’s sassy and confident ❤️

[@adsmith364]

That's classic, but absolutely CLASSY and BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@matthewblalock4916]

she is someone I could get along fabulously with. love her class!

[@elizabethchung5285]

People on here are so negative, but I love this store and have been a million times. The store owner is admittedly a bit snappy, but if you really love vintage she will definitely be accommodating. She showed us the back room and we bought some gorgeous dresses. Just remember this is not a thrift store, it’s a vintage store full of fine goods.

[@Theshadythrifter]

You are AWESOME!!!! I love vintage style and the way the women just looked so classy. I have a few vintage pieces in my closet and I cherish them so much more than the typical designer clothing that I have. Kudos to you for having creativity!

[@GeorgianaQuaint]

"I have a real clothes on", I totally agree! Amazing lady!!

[@lenaschneider891]

I went in that store when I was visiting San Francisco and when I was watching this video I kept thinking that it looks really similar, when actually I realized it's the same^^ Really loved it in there, the atmosphere is so nice and the clothing looks just so great.

[@Christimony222]

She's inspiring and amazing! I fell in love with her spirit and professionalism.

[@drinkallthesunshine]

How does she keep the dust off of all those outfits, especially the ones way up high on top of the shelves?

[@relam195]

She has other workers. :)

[@craftylesly7689]

I love people who do what they love 💖

[@Avellania]

I've seen people complain that almost 100 year old wedding dresses/ ballgowns don't look like new and can't be put in the washing machine or that some objects are too delicate to be mangled by a child.

[@cl24591]

I LOVE HER she's so funny

[@samrobertson7336]

I love seeing someone so passionate about something!!!!

[@aseeyah12]

I love the 1940s style it was beautiful. I also would love to have a roaring twenties party at my house with authentic 1920s clothing and this place would be great to get it from.

[@hibamiraj6747]

She is so smart. She knows this is gonna worth more in future

[@emilycaslli9328]

I went to her store and met her a few days ago! She was a gorgeous woman and we bought a beautiful 1920s dress!

[@minananananan1842]

She is so adorable

[@writersnotes1292]

Amazing ! Absolutely love this. I gatta visit the shop once I visit Cali 😍

[@anahansen8909]

I always stop in here when in the area!! It is one of my happy places...

[@lisawalter624]

I so love these wonderful vintage pieces. Someday, I will visit the area just to come to this store.

[@heathermcalister9919]

Oh gosh, thank you for the 20's dresses! They're always so gorgeous but also so incredibly fragile D:

[@cutequeen9405]

Ooo the 20s dresses she makes are beautiful I wanted to start dressing in 20s fashion but I don’t want to ruin authentic dresses from that time I would totally buy one of those

[@alexandrah9310]

I love this store! Always go here when I’m in SF.

[@cristinacomstock3345]

OMG, I love this... I can spend all day long in a store like this

[@alechiavassa]

I wish there were stores like this where I live

[@asumacm9330]

I love this lady boss in a perfect way

[@toebeans96]

Okay, I don't know how I just found out about this place but THIS IS ON MY BUCKET LIST now!

[@lavenderlatte96]

She is a very experienced lady, but even as an avid vintage collector myself, I'd be afraid to step foot in her shop for fear of being harassed.

[@rachelmoss3793]

I need a paper bag to breathe into, after seeing this ah mazing collection! fabulous. thankyou xx

[@mairinconway812]

I LOVE outfits like this a lot more than the outfits now

[@paigecoolest]

Yes! A channel I can binge!

[@annan9216]

I love vintage!!!!!! unlike the clothing now but this is class and 1930s and 1920s is my favorite generation :)

[@rachelchen3449]

40s and 50s are my love

[@jadelawlor6252]

this woman is my spirit animal 😂

[@annakarin2311]

I absolutely love her and the shop! if I go to SF one day, ill definitely drop in there!

[@hmr28]

Those 40's suits are amazing. She should be doing her own line of them as well as those 20's flapper dresses.

[@silviapinamonjaras9175]

I love vintage too.....

[@groovyloaf]

I absolutely love this! Next time I'm in San Francisco I know where I'm going!

[@Rinchick15]

I love her passion!!

[@danielross6406]

This is paradise for me

[@bknightify]

She is absolutely right, this is real clothing not costumes, you can be sexy without showing everything. I love the time periods.

[@samanthagilleland1101]

Fashion Heaven!!! I'm in love! Can I move in?

[@danielleurquia622]

I love 50's clothing "To me nothing is sexier than class" preach lady

Wow, that lady's line of clothing looks better than the vintage. NICE!

[@matthewhernandez5690]

I’m 22 and I think I just fell in love with her
