July 2023 by Not Your Business
My grandma used to take me here when I was a kid and I've always had fond memories of being here. I'm happy that they are still in business, especially with many other Lark St. staples being gone (I miss shining star) It always felt magical as a kid. I hadn't been since my teen years, but recently stopped in and things have definitely changed, still have local art, but has more of a thrift store vibe than I remember. Lots of stuff to see and find! While it may not look like it at first glance, it's well organized by section. They have everything from clothing, to glassware, art, jewelry, toys, and homewares! Take your time and go slow so you don't miss anything!

OBSESSED. I was really impressed with their art collection -- and really every vintage piece there. Prices are OK. This place is definitely a maze, totally jam-packed, but really fun and stimulating.

Thrift store with lots of unique and cute jewelry and other accessories, clothes, home decor, books, drinkware, frames, mirrors, records, and so much more! You can easily spend an hour browsing this small but packed shop. I stop by whenever I'm free and in the area.

I really loved this shop and I would highly recommend it. I thought I had seen jam packed vintage shops before, but this one took the cake! It had amazing variety, tons of small things like jewelry and mid-century porcelain items, which are among my favorite vintage items! The owner was really nice, too, and very patient as I spent over an hour looking carefully through her things. I did buy, and when I looked over at home the items I had purchased, I was even more pleased with them than I had been in the shop! Don't miss this one the next time you are in Albany, NY, guys! You will be so glad you went!

Fantastic shop in Albany!! Had a great time talking to her. The store is filled with lots of interesting things/ collectibles. She hand makes jewelry as well, I got a wonderful necklace and earrings for my girlfriend. A cool place to find cool things.

I've known Elissa since she first opened her shop 22 years ago. This has always been the best shop to find exactly what you want and everything you didn't know you wanted until you saw it! Professional and caring and an reliable advocate for the neighborhood too!

Will racially profile you & assume you are stealing because you are a person of color. Even tho you are a business owner yourself only steps away very sad & not a place I will support any longer.

Where do I Begin! There's always so much , hidden treasures in her boutique one of a kind never will see before fabulous Vintage but Modern For present day times.CHIC Meets Over the top! Fabulousness of Extraordinary custom jewelry, religious iconography with a twist? Houses great bookS, little boxes cute & cool little boxes or even larger boxes! cowboy boots & purses and WHAT A HAND MADE KIMONO FROM JAPAN!!??? (sorry guys all nine) :PA plethora of vinyl as well. Elissa Holloran Designs boutique is hands down my favorite 'thrifty/gift shop', because it's more than that. It's nostalgia & Adrenaline searching through the organized chaos of ecklectiness to find those hidden treasures that will Iast even longer of a lifetime (?) ...and it never ends because every trip is a new adventure ✨️.Elissa's boutique is a one of a kind find here in Albany that has much to nothing in regards to what's hot and just timeless. We need more stores that embodies the spirit, tenacity and individualism in a working business model.
