I've been looking for a gothic style store for a while... sadly, most of SF 'gothic' like stuff is…read moremore fetishwear. Disapointing anyways, this store has some 'designer' level clothing at varying prices that very wildly. Buying a 100 dollar pair of somewhat gothic style pants, the original owner guy I purchased from was kind of cool. we chatted things up, he kind of gave me some pointers for sf fashion spots, talked to me about some of the other items around the shop (including a 1000 dollar concealable leather pouch). I usually like to give things time... evaluate places before sticking with them... so opting to wait on anything else... I make a trip to japan (where I purchased another gothic style pants from the yellow house... which were even more disappointing that Ceiba. Details are in the review I made for them). Also, mind you, both pants are elastic and the material is a little thick, they were both very comfortable. after coming back, I had to get both pants repaired. the ceiba pants I've had to have repaired twice (but it still has more damage on it that I haven't gotten repaired. the pockets are falling apart for one) now while the japanese yellow house pants I've had to have repaired 3 times now. It's rare that I need to have my clothes repaired... mostly its seams coming undone and I can usually fix those myself.... usually... but these were more that the fabric was giving out. the seams were strong but the pants were fraying or giving out around the seams. I cant just sew that back in. I've gone to Ceiba twice to try to talk to them about the material, the pants, repairs... and just to find solutions. the first time for them to give me advice on to handle it myself... and the second time, after SEVERAL times having to pay to get them fixed, to see if maybe the item was just bad or something and finding more vendor and patron solutions. both times it was a woman this time and both times she could not help. I do not recommend people come here for clothes, its a nice name place to show off a bit and pretend to be more socioeconomically established but little more than that.

The prices were…read moremore reasonable than many of the other thrift stores in the area, and the selection was impressive. I especially appreciated that the clothing was organized by size, which made browsing much easier. They have just about every style of clothing you could imagine, plus a convenient buyback counter near the entrance where you can bring in and sell your own clothes. The store was extremely busy during our visit, and the checkout lines were quite long. It would have been nice to see a few more staff members helping customers during peak times. Overall, it's a fun place to thrift with a great variety of clothing, fair prices, and an easy-to-shop layout. I'd definitely stop in again when exploring Haight Street.

I wanted a Japanese selvedge denim jacket, particularly interested in Iron Heart, so this was the place to come. They have a huge selection of many Japanese brands. The problem is...all these brands use a leather patch. I guess they are going for the midcentury Americana authenticity but it left me out of luck on the vegan front. Fortunately the staff was very upfront and helpful about the lack of vegan options in the jackets, though they noted some pants were patch free. So no fault on Self Edge at all! Happy they do what they do and maybe some day these companies will offer an alternative.

Aleksandra is the BEST!…read more I came to her with a ChatGPT-generated image of what I wanted: a custom wedding outfit with pants, a lace top, and a cape. I couldn't find what I wanted anywhere, and even a friend in the fashion designer world had warned me not to expect anyone to be able to replicate a computer-generated image exactly. Aleksandra was able to bring the vision to life exactly as I had imagined it and honestly, way better than the image from AI, and the finished outfit is incredible. The pants fit so well that they look like they were painted onto me. She even fitted them to two different pairs of shoes that are about two inches different in height (sneakers and heels)! The lace top is comfortable yet elegant, and the cape is exactly what I pictured. It is beautiful and dramatic, but still light enough to wear comfortably. One of my favorite parts of working with Aleksandra was how involved I got to be in the process. I learned so much along the way. She was knowledgeable and offered thoughtful suggestions about fabrics and design, but she never pressured me into doing anything I didn't want. Her recommendations were invaluable, from choosing a pant fabric that wouldn't be see-through or emphasize areas I was self-conscious about, to helping me find a cape fabric that was beautiful without being too heavy. She is also incredibly fast. The turnaround time for everything has been much quicker than I expected, especially considering how busy she is. And her prices are very reasonable. What I paid for a completely custom outfit was less than many bridal shops in the area charge for non-custom options. She also went above and beyond for my wife. My wife had a piece made by Lace & Liberty that was oddly constructed and didn't fit well. Despite having an extremely busy schedule, Aleksandra took it on and has patiently fixed it bit by bit. Aleksandra made the whole experience fun. She never batted an eye at us being a two-bride couple and has been nothing but welcoming throughout the entire process. We genuinely looked forward to our fittings, felt like we were part of the creative process, and trusted her completely. We LOVE her and are so grateful we found her! I'll update to include photos after our wedding!

Love Street is a little off the beaten path but would be completely at home on Haight or Valencia…read more So many cool, funky, unique things. I've been on a 70s polyester kick lately, buying up all the wildly patterned, wide-lapelled blazers I can find. I dropped in here over the weekend for the first time to see what they had and found 70s prints galore and a bunch of amazing jackets to try on. My favorite was a red, white, and blue chevron duster but it had a few issues, such as seams open in three areas and a number of fabric pulls. There were also some confusingly-placed buttons randomly sewn/pinned on but at least those are always nice to have as back-ups. In retrospect I feel a little guilty about having hinted at a discount. It's a fun and special piece and I feel lucky to have it. Thankfully, though, the young lady at the counter was totally gracious about it. In the end, it was worth the hour-ish I spent that evening closing up the seams, pulling through the larger fabric snags, and removing the superfluous buttons. I should note that my duster seemed to be an exception because everything else I looked at was in terrific vintage condition. This is a wonderful shop and I am so excited to have finally found it!

Q-Pot is a really awesome jewelry and accessories line. It mostly has a food theme so think chocolates, lolipops, and sweets with a cutesy twist. Their rings are adjustable, so good for those with chubbier fingers. Tyuake Tyoke is a shoe line. They have shoes with mirrors on the heel. They run small, I don't think they go beyond a size L. Aqua Doll is a wig line. Listen Flavor has a more casual feel to their clothes. Most of their shirts, jackets, and hoodies are oversized so if you are plus size, you will probably appreciate the sizing. Listen Flavor has a lot of pastel colored pieces so if you like the Fairy Kei Look, this would be a good line. They also have gothic themed items too like cute demon bunnies. The store is also having more events which is a plus if you want to meet others in the Lolita community. You are able to buy tickets after purchasing a certain amount of merchandise. The week before Valentine's Day, they had a novelty fair (gift with purchase). I ended up with a cute pass case, perfect to put my clipper card in. I didn't think it was possible to love this store even more than I did but Harajuku Hearts has really outdone itself. I recommend checking out their Facebook page for news and coordination ideas.
