Stocked with clothing, shoes, hats, and jewelry from all decades. Fancy designer pieces cohabitate with no-names, all of which are scored from flea markets, estate sales, and obscure road trips.
The shoes here aren’t your standard pumps and flats: They’re conversation pieces from the likes of Dries Van Noten and Loeffler Randall.
Beautifully crafted, mostly Italian shoes are the specialty at Bulo (although it stocks some American designers, too). These kicks don’t come cheap, but they’re well worth it for their highly stylized design. A few handbags round out the selection.

Head to this Laurel Heights Victorian parlor for designer fashions, shoes, handbags, jewelry, and hats from nearly every era. The assortment includes never-worn collectibles in mint condition.
The word “boutique” doesn’t really do justice to this self-proclaimed “luxury emporium,” which stocks ready-to-wear clothing, shoes, and jewelry in a luxe interior reminiscent of a flat in the Marais.
One peek in this shoe shop and you’ll say, “Gimme more.” This is SF’s go-to for footwear with an edge from indie designers like Rachel Comey, Loeffler Randall, and Dries van Noten.
This high-end shoe store is worth a trip to the suburbs. It’s filled with chic footwear by designers like Calleen Cordero and Jean-Michel Cazabat.
This small Hayes Valley gem stocks one of the city’s better collections of vintage frocks, as well as costume jewelery and shoes.
The infamous designer’s Maiden Lane boutique is the perfect backdrop for the pretty clothing, shoes, and handbags from his fancy collection.
This elegant space — houndstooth slipper chairs, white leather benches, oversize chandeliers — is exactly where you’d expect to find your favorite new kicks (like, oh, Michael Kors wedges, Bettye Muller peep toes, and Giuseppe Zanotti stilettos).
