After visiting five other bridal salons across the Bay Area, Papers and Petals was truly the only…read moreplace I could have imagined buying my wedding dress! So many other shops give you a strict 90-minute window, pressure you to make a quick decision, and rush you out the door. Papers and Petals was a complete breath of fresh air. I specifically worked with the owner, Georgette, and one of their amazing consultants, Paige. They let me take my time, listened closely to everything I loved and didn't like about each dress, and used that exact feedback to pull options until they found my perfect dress. They were so patient, letting me retry favorites and go back and forth until I was 100% certain and so incredibly excited. They even let my appointment run over because they genuinely wanted to make sure I was confident and super happy with my decision. The exceptional service continued long after I said yes to the dress. Georgette's son and co-owner, Joseph, was wonderful to work with during my fittings. He is so flexible, accommodating, and keeps the whole shop running seamlessly. Every single person I interacted with during fittings and pickup was incredibly kind and helpful, and any concerns I had were solved on the spot. I absolutely loved my dress on my wedding day and am so happy. I would recommend any bride looking for "the one" to go here!

I purchased my wedding dress from Papers & Petals and, while I liked my dress, I was disappointed…read morewith the overall cost. After shopping around, I realized the same dress was available at other bridal boutiques for less. By the time I paid for the dress and the required alterations, I had spent over $7,000. I recommend future brides compare prices at multiple boutiques before making a purchase and ask about the expected cost of alterations upfront. It may save you a significant amount of money.

He walked me through all the customization options, from fabrics and colors to linings and the small details that really make the jacket your own. He gave honest recommendations and helpful opinions while still making sure the final product reflected exactly what I wanted. The measuring process was incredibly thorough, and it definitely paid off. The fit is perfect, the quality is outstanding, and I've already received a lot of compliments on it. If you're looking for custom clothing and someone who genuinely cares about getting it right, I highly recommend Clint. I'll definitely be back for my next jacket

Absolutely thrilled with Clint! I checked out nearly every top-tier menswear tailor in town, and…read morewhile I thought I knew how everyone works, Clint completely exceeded my expectations. From my white dinner jacket to my black tuxedo for the wedding, he made me feel confident, comfortable, and stylish every step of the way. Clint is genuinely friendly, incredibly helpful, and extremely supportive. I came to him with very detailed ideas of what I wanted, and he still spent over three hours with me--walking me through fabric options, measurements, and pricing--to make sure everything was absolutely perfect. His pricing is fair--not the cheapest, but the range of fabrics he offers can accommodate any budget without compromising on quality. Beyond that, he was always ready to answer questions, offer advice, and make the process smooth and enjoyable. Clint, you did an amazing job! Wearing these outfits made me feel fantastic on my wedding day, and your care and expertise made the experience truly special. Thank you for making my wedding even more memorable!

Olivia was extremely communicative and responsive to all my questions and the entire process from start to finish was so seamless and simple.

I would happily recommend this service to any brides and friends of mine who are looking to clean and preserve their special gowns!

No one in the queue when I arrived so I was called up first. When you enter, there's a sale counter directly on the left. If you're selling, walk around the store to the far left side of the store to another counter. The store itself wasn't too busy either, though it did pick up around 11:30am. Well stocked inventory and also much larger than Pac Heights. Products on sale were in good condition and the store itself was also clean. Also was able to successfully sell a few items! Definitely go for store credit as you get more value from it than cash.

I won't go into hard deets but I was done , I gave back all my purchases...BUT being in a service industry myself and the store manager tried with me but I was far gone with my disgruntled attitude, then I went back in after I decided I wanted those clothes and had a absolutely wonderful turn around of my experience with Earl Peoples the senior store manager, we had a conversation after I'd realigned my own attitude around what I do for a living and what I think is good service, he was extremely compassionate listened aware of what was, is, and needed to be ! All I know is that the way Earl Peoples handles customers is stellar service and rightfully and exactly the person who needs/is a guiding force within that companies location, don't lose this gentleman. For my own personal behavior it made me take a hard look at how to approach those people who just don't get the nuances,I could have been more patient, not making an excuse but if it had been smoother from the beginning I wouldn't have been so upset by the time I'd gotten to the checkout area and I was fired up,for this I apologize. Nice turn around Earl Peoples I actually got all the clothes,and decided to yelp afterwards for the positive service that he gave .

What an amazing gem of a Vintage shop!…read more This shop has everything you could want. The majority of their clothing is high end luxury brands that are gently used or new. I really appreciated that they had all different price points and there was something for everyone. I could tell they rotate their clothing and since it's January, they have many beautiful coats out to choose from (or just browse!). I loved all the high quality pieces, with many skirts, blouses pants shoes and the men's section is also stunning. There's something special about actually going to a physical store and seeing the fabrics and getting that tactile experience vs. online shopping. I chose three different leather jackets and a longer coat to try on and I ended up purchasing the coat. (That happened to be new with tags) The staff was very helpful and I liked that they let you shop but also were there if you had any questions. They were really lovely and I'm glad I got to check this special place out! I came on a Saturday, the parking was tricky (but of course it is, it's the city!) however they did explain before brunch hours it's pretty easy to find a spot along the street. I'll definitely be coming back with some fashionable friends in the future!

This unassuming designer consignment store hay boasts a terrific selection of both new and vintage designer clothing for men and women. Even though their collection learns towards more eclectic fashion tastes, anyone will be able to find something that satisfies their needs. Not only is their selection, huge and diverse, but the discounts available are beyond exceptional. You'll be able to find high-quality clothing at steeply discounted prices compared to what you might see in a normal store. I managed to find an amazing winter coat and a versatile plaid button up shirt from high fashion designers for less than $300. Definitely worth popping in for a visit if you're in the neighborhood.
