5 chic women's shops in San Francisco

A beautiful, minimally designed, gallerylike space with an edited collection of garments from coveted brands, jewelry and a few accessories and home objects. Owner Pauline Montupet has impeccable taste and a sharp eye for detail having worked as a wardrobe stylist in her career.

A sweet boutique owned and operated by two sisters who’ve discovered a way to share the age-old tradition of the kimono with the modern world. They’ve designed beautiful botanical-inspired silk and charmeuse pieces that can be worn for intimate and special occasions, and casually for every day.

This may be the softest, most sumptuous shop in all of SF. By this, I mean luxurious textures of cashmere and silk. Lan’s signature coats and jackets are coveted around the world, and this is her studio where she designs and showcases her collection.

This chic little boutique has been an SF gem for over 30 years. It’s where posh women sell off their collection of highend designer clothing, handbags, shoes and accessories, so others can snag them at more affordable prices. And their staff is happy to help style you.

If you’ve been eyeing that designer quilted handbag or those embellished stilettos from a few seasons ago, this is where to find it. It’s the premier online marketplace for authenticated luxury consignment and SF has a brick-and-mortar location. Peruse some of the pretty things in-person and make them yours at discounted prices.
