Elissa Halloran Designs

Wonderful finds. Good assortment of handmade jewelry and vintage finds and second hand clothing. I recently picked up a beautif vintage print of a Bull Terrier (from before they were deformed by selective breeding into egg-​heads) that I simply love love love. They also have little baskets of stuff that are just fun to sift through (and find a «bestest mom ever» pin to give to you mom just because).
Only down sides are some items are a little pricy and the parking on Lark Streetnis a drag.

I love Elissa Halloran! Always an eclectic mix of items. From shoes to jewelry to scarves, artwork, and candles. Great little shop.

I really like it in here. Elissa is always pleasant. I can find good little gifts for family and friends. And then, I always have enough left over to pick up something for myself!
Be sure to check out the clothes and shoes in the back. You might find something worthwhile.

I want everything in this store. It’s a good thing that I have friends in Albany and I get to come back here and visit her shop. The earrings, the purses, the clothing, the art are all fabulous. She has a fantastic eye.

A very cool store located on Lark Street that is the type of place to bring out of town guests to have them find something unique. My girlfriend and I have bought a number of cool items here. Pottery, jewelry, paintings, etc. Also, there is a great incorporation of local artists.

Some of the custom jewlery is cool — but a lot of it you can find on etsy. The consignment/​vintage clothing store doesn’t have real vintage clothes (in my description of the term), but mainly out of date chain retail store brands.
If you’re looking for real vintage clothes or unique jewlery, drive an extra 20ish minutes into saratoga.

Elissa’s designs are creative and unique– a great place to get someone who is hard to buy for one of a kind jewelry. I do find some of her prices to be steep though.

I absolutely ADORE this place. Beautiful designs and really helpful staff. Great selection of awesome vintage chains and pendants. I could have easily bought ten of them if I did not control myself and exercise the utmost restraint. Beautiful stuff from the 70s! I can not wait to go back!

Sadly on my recent return visit she was not open when i walked by. :(Too bad because it was one of my favorite places to shop while i lived in ALbany. Wonderful handmade jewelry and other accesories for yourself and your home. Funky and ecclectic and so much fun.

I love this place.
Elissa has the greatest flair for making the most out of her space and browsing her store is always a treat. She always has cute little descriptions of the items in the store and she has a knack for arranging things.
Her jewelry is awesome. My mother and I have spent far too much money here, but it’s worth it. I would much rather shell out for a handmade, unique design from a local artist than buy some mass-​produced thing. And she uses really great supplies — funky pendants, Czech glass beads, and all sorts of wonderful semiprecious stones. Newswoman Soledad O’Brien is a fan too.
She also always has a nice selection of products made by other regional artists — purses, little paintings, jewelry, etc. There’s a revolving selection of other vintage and new gifts too, including gorgeous scarves, hats, mirrors, dishes, little knick-​knacks, ornaments, candle holders etc. There’s also a second-​hand clothing area in the back where you can always find something awesome.
Elissa is the ideal type of local businesswoman: the type of person who obviously loves what she does and takes great pride in it. She and co-​worker Theresa are both really sweet women, who are never pushy. She recently moved the store two doors down and the new space is even better. There’s a lot more room and it’s just such a delight to browse.
