A Living Bay Area Antiquing Guide
I’ve lived in San Francisco for nearly 20 years now (!!), and over time I’ve slowly built up a map of antique malls, flea markets, vintage stores, consignment gems, estate-style warehouses, and small-town treasure hubs across Northern California.
This started in the early days sourcing for S&S and has turned into a more personal hobby — artist dates, weekend exploring, and the occasional “I just need to look at beautiful objects” day.
There’s something about a day out antiquing that just can’t beat, even if you don’t find anything. Following the feeling that you might discover something is enough.
I wanted to bring everything together in one place for locals, visitors, and design lovers who also believe that getting out and touching things, walking through old spaces, and discovering objects in person is deeply regulating and creatively inspiring.
This is a map of places I love, or am planning to check out. I’ve included a few notes and everything is mapped in Google Maps for easy wandering too.
If I’ve missed anything good, please share—I’d love to keep adding to this as it evolves.
