Lovely woman's quality clothing store. The owner is extremely kind, knowledgeable and helpful. My sister bought a gorgeous reversible cashmere coat today, I'm envious. If you're in the area stop in, there are treasures to be found.

In was in 1979 when I was taking my girlfriend shopping. As we walked by the Hyatt Regency Hotel, I noticed a fine men's store, D. Fine, however, my girlfriend noticed the store right above, The Rafael's. We went in and immediately were greeted as family by Carmel Rafael and his son, David. Their initial intent was not to sell, but to get to know us. We were served Persian coffee and biscuits (cookies) as we conversed about our daily lives. They became my friends. Then they got down to business. Various outfits were laid out with accessories, and a young lady modeled some others. It was delightful. We purchased so many beautiful garments that we had to have most of them shipped home. They arrived in perfect condition the very day we returned. David has operated the store the last decades and I have a place in my heart for these honorable people.

This store has the finest quality clothes in San Francisco. In addition, the owner has the sensibility to put together stunning outfits. He has the accessories at hand such as belts, jewelry and scarves so you leave with everything you need and don't have run around town trying to find a missing piece. From casual clothes to evening dresses, you will be very happy you found Raphael's.

David spots me coming a block away and starts getting clothes ready for me to try on. He is truly an artist!

Amazing selection, wonderful service. Pieces are handmade with exquisite tailoring and quite pricey but totally worth it. Just bout two gorgeous winter coats.

My wife and I have been coming to this store for years. It recently had an upgrade and I can tell you that it's good as it gets for fine women's clothing. The way David outfits her with his taste is second to none. Everywhere she goes she gets complimented on her one of a kind handmade clothing. If you're looking for true high fashion and something original that doesn't exist in a department store, The Rafael's is the place to go.

I love clothes. I love really good clothes. I love great service and styling help, when I buy pricey clothes. The buyer and the lady who helped me here were so nice and very good at what they do. The selection of fine Italian cashmere is insane. The accessories and their eye for styling are great. I only wished I lived near SF to be able to shop here more regularly.

What a scrumptious women's store for quality fabrics and beautifully tailored clothing items to discover walking down Market St on our trip to San Francisco!
