About Black Raven Marketplace
Our Store
Black Raven Marketplace is a professionally curated dark lifestyle consignment store located in Downtown Santa Ana, California. We showcase distinctive pieces rooted in artistry, craftsmanship, and unconventional design, all curated for those drawn to the eerie, the macabre, and the beautifully strange. From gothic fashion and accessories to original art, décor, collectibles, and one-of-a-kind creations, every piece is selected for its unique character and creative point of view. Discover something unexpected, support independent artistry, and lean fully into your shadow side.
Our Pop- Ups
Our pop-ups aren’t a random collection of vendors—they’re an extension of the Black Raven Marketplace experience, just 500 feet from our Downtown Santa Ana store. Each event is intentionally planned and highly curated, bringing together independent artists, makers, designers, and small businesses that embody the gothic, alternative, and dark lifestyle community.
We’re unapologetically selective so every pop-up feels cohesive, creative, and worth exploring. No overcrowding. No chaos. No filler. Just an engaging shopping experience built around artistry, originality, and the beautifully strange—with plenty more to discover right down the street at Black Raven Marketplace.
Our Annex IX
Annex IX is where the Black Raven experience expands beyond the marketplace. Located within our store, Annex IX is an intentionally curated space built for creativity, connection, and the unconventional.
Designed to host immersive experiences, special events, workshops, gatherings, and unexpected collaborations, Annex IX gives artists, makers, creators, and our community a place to come together and create something different. Every experience is thoughtfully selected to feel distinctly Black Raven—artistic, alternative, a little strange, and never ordinary.
This isn’t just extra space. It’s where ideas come to life.
