“The ladies here are absolutely beautiful wonderful and awesome and have the kindest souls. This store has almost every type of crystal and rock you can think of. From rocks to herbs and sage and candles to clothing and books. This is one of my most favorite stops in San Francisco on Haight st. The customer service and all around vibe in the store is wonderful. I recommend going here and I can almost guarantee you will come out of the store with a lifted attitude and spirit. There's also a space where you can sit and meditate! Super awesome!”
“I had a great experience at Akarshan shopping for a wedding guest outfit! They have a wide selection of outfits in different colors and styles. Harminder was very helpful in picking out my lehenga.”
“I came here to purchase a lehenga to wear to a friend's wedding. I ended up buying one I fell in love with along with a pair of shoes and accessories.
I didn't even know where to begin at first, but the ladies at the store helped me put together an outfit. I also got my lehenga altered. It was a very great shopping experience!”
“Phenomenal location, with a lot of history, love and community! A huge array of different tyedye peices you could love, all made by different artists, some from different places of the world! Dont miss out if you haven't been!”
“Thoughtfully designed space. High quality, timeless clothing. Incredibly helpful, friendly, lovely people. Big thanks to Adrienne for helping me find the right comfy yet elevated pieces for my bf who thinks golf clothes are acceptable for all occasions ?”
“Great store and customer service! I purchased a pair of abalone shell earrings and the sales associate kindly assisted me with researching online the earring’s material. She went above and beyond with helping me find out the information I had asked about. Rare service nowadays! ??? Also, a great shop for gifts as there are cute cards, candles, socks, etc!”
“Run, don’t walk to this amazing store! This store has everything from all types of new clothing, jackets, sweaters, shoes, boots, toys, jewelry, bedding and more. Plus, it is one of the neatest stores I’ve ever been into. Everything is in its place and in great order.
Highly recommend!”

“Really cute store! The signs about jewelry is a bit confusing, not sure if I can touch them or if they don’t want us touching it at all … it was really cute but if I can’t get a feel of what it’s like I won’t buy them ?”
“Beautiful, curated shop with Mid-Century Modern aesthetics, high quality clothing, and possibly the sweetest owners (+ Harold the dog) I've ever met. They were eager to talk about the materials and manufacturing processes of the pieces I pointed out and were quick to offer a place to put my bags and even enjoy some refreshments. Talking with them felt natural and enjoyable, and it never felt as if they were pressuring me to buy anything...although I did walk out with a killer Cawley coat that I got about 12 compliments on over the weekend. The prices are high but absolutely justified for the quality (these are items you keep for life), and the owners genuinely care about promoting smaller brands over the fashion giants you may see at Nordstrom or the mall. If you can afford their pieces, they are worth the splurge! And even if you can't, the place and people are still well worth the trip. :)”
“Margaret O’Leary’s boutique in San Francisco is truly a hidden gem that exemplifies the perfect balance between elegance, creativity, and personalized customer service, making it one of the most remarkable shopping experiences I have ever encountered. From the moment you step through the boutique’s charming entrance, you are enveloped in an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and welcoming, as if each element of the space has been thoughtfully curated to ensure visitors feel at home while exploring a treasure trove of fashion and lifestyle offerings. The layout of the store is a testament to meticulous design and aesthetic sensibility; every display, whether of clothing, accessories, or home decor items, is arranged in a way that draws your eye naturally from one exquisite piece to another, encouraging discovery without overwhelming the senses. What makes Margaret O’Leary’s boutique particularly special is the way it seamlessly blends timeless sophistication with contemporary trends, offering a collection that caters to a variety of tastes and styles, from classic wardrobe staples to bold, statement-making pieces that reflect the wearer’s individuality. The clothing selection itself is unparalleled in quality; each garment feels substantial and finely crafted, with fabrics that speak to both durability and comfort, and cuts that flatter a diverse range of body types, demonstrating a keen understanding of tailoring and design principles that elevate everyday fashion into something truly remarkable. Equally impressive is the boutique’s selection of accessories, which include everything from handcrafted jewelry and scarves to unique handbags and footwear, each piece chosen with an eye for detail and a commitment to offering customers items that are both beautiful and versatile. The attention to detail extends beyond the products themselves to the ambiance of the store, which is warm and inviting, with carefully chosen lighting that highlights the textures and colors of each item, and decor elements that create an intimate, boutique-like feel without ever seeming cluttered or contrived. One of the most outstanding aspects of Margaret O’Leary’s boutique is the level of personalized service provided by the staff, who are consistently attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping customers find pieces that suit their individual style and needs. Shopping here feels less like a transaction and more like an immersive experience, where each visit offers the opportunity to discover something new, receive thoughtful fashion advice, and enjoy meaningful interactions with people who are passionate about the craft and artistry behind the merchandise.”
“I love Ornot, but I just called the showroom asking for some sizing help as my friend is about to go and collect some stuff for me and they were AWSOME!
I think this brand probably has the best customer service ever, I have dealt with them over email before and everything was perfect, but now... Even better!
100% recommended!”
“I love Derby! The jackets are nostalgic and made with great quality! Every time I step into the store the staff is always super friendly and helpful. I always look forward to stopping by whenever I'm in the Haight!”
“Love Love Love!!! This line of clothing! High quality! The leather vests are soft, but durable and very nicely made! I love everything about this store! The owners are pretty awesome also!!!”
“A truly wonderful afternoon tea experience! The Rotunda at Neiman Marcus is beautiful, the service was exceptional, and the food was delicious. The teas, sandwiches, scones, and pastries were all excellent, and the gluten-free options were thoughtfully prepared. A perfect spot for a special occasion or an elegant afternoon in San Francisco. Highly recommend!”
“great selection of nice casual clothes
I purchased some denim Shorts that are so comfortable and so easy to wear. Not too short. Super summer addition to the closet ! Bought a summer sleeveless knit top and Love the texture and softness. Their selection of casual nice clothing for women and men is terrific. There’s always a warm greeting when you enter the store and they are so helpful in answering question about any item. Plus at Christmas they have great PJs!”
“A must visit if you're shopping along Valencia St! They're a longtime Bay Area brand that's very size inclusive! All fun prints in a variety of styles, dresses, jumpsuits, shirts, etc.”

“My two kids (9 year old daughter, 7 year old son) both had an amazing time at their week at Camp Couture! The first day, they came home and instantly said it was the best camp they'd been to and have to come back (and they have been to many camps!). Before, my son had only limited experience hand sewing, but learned to sew several stitches by hand and even proficiently use a sewing machine. My daughter can now independently sew complex projects on a sewing machine. They made so many, very cool projects during the week. I was blown away each day. They each made a stylish, lined hoodie and a stuffie all in just one day. Other projects included a quilt (made from my son's favorite outgrown T-shirts), a cool backpack and bag that I could totally see in a high-end store, and animal-shaped pin cushions. Each week, they have different projects to mix it up. I was impressed with how great of a teacher Alexandria was. She was patient, encouraging, and knew how to challenge and meet each student where they were. They learned so much in just one week. You can tell she puts a lot of care into the projects she designs for each kid and the individualized prep she needs to do each night for each one's level, interest, and choice of project. We're so lucky we found this camp and will definitely be returning!”
“The CUTEST store I’ve ever been in. I had to restrain myself from buying everything. The women who work there were wonderful and seemed passionate about the business. Great spot for gifts for others (or yourself). You have to stop in!”
“Peace, love, and, uh, capitalism.
The store is groovy, I admit that. It's got all the requisite '70s rock merch. It's well arranged, it's colorful, it's psychedelic, it's pretty. But it hurts my soul a little bit that all this stuff is marked up to hock to tourists.
Still, there's probably no better place on the block to get Jimi Hendrix jammies for your toddler, so do with that information what you will.”
“My first time walking in the store I fell in love with the selection of unique merchandise and the owner - Trisha.
I bought San Francisco icon pins to take to Hungary for gifts. Trish was accommodating to pins that I only like in the set. I orders 100?
I also bought couple of items. I got so many complements on my jacket.
I will be checking new merchandise every week?”

“Every time I'm in San Francisco, stopping by Picnic is an absolute must! This boutique is a true hidden gem , beautifully curated and full of wonderful surprises. I always find something special, whether it's unique kitchen finds, gorgeous candles, or lovely beauty products. There's truly something for everyone!
The store itself is stunning , the kind of place where you just want to linger and take everything in. But what really sets Picnic apart is the staff. They are incredibly warm, helpful, and genuinely passionate about what they carry. Every visit leaves me feeling happy and inspired.
If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and stop in. You won't leave disappointed!”
“We brought our dog in because she was between sizes for a dog raincoat and the end needed room for her tail. They were very gentle and professional, especially for an unusual job!”
“Great attendants and beautiful collection. The store design is one of a kind. Charlie helped me pick a handbag as present for my mother. I was completely overwhelmed and he was so helpful and knowledgeable”
“Every time we come here, we buy many things!! It’s always fun and exciting to shop with Sou Sou!!
So much to choose from.
Thank you ladies!!”
“Excellent selection of Japanese designer clothes with highly knowledgeable, low-touch staff. Merchandising is a bit chaotic, as the store kinda blends into the backstock area, but the vibe is great so who cares.”
“Amazing pieces from local designers. I was a little overwhelmed trying to pick a few pieces for a festival I was performing at and Ashton helped me select an outfit that I got many compliments on. This place isn't the cheapest but the quality is amazing and every penny goes to support independent designers. Great pieces and great customer service. I'll definitely be back to grab more stuff”
“Love the dresses! Great style. Fabulous prints. Well made. I’m hooked. Time to get out of my all black routine. And the store staff are lovely. Terrific customer service.”
“Great Promotional Product Supplier in California. They have a large variety of apparel to choose from for your promotional marketing. This company will quote small or large promotional projects for you in a instant. Highly recommend for promotional products.”
