It was just such an amazing gesture and lovely to know there are people like Ruth in their world.

Even if you are buying 10 items, please be sure to insist the sales people ring up 5 separate transactions of 2 items at a time so you get the best deal, otherwise, they will ring them all up together and only give you the 4 very lowest prices. It is unfortunate that the sales people don't tell customers this information in advance, but at least when you realize it, you can usually return everything and have them re-ring it so you get the deal. But, it is absolutely scammy when they don't tell you and it's a "final sale". I saw a lady in this store today buy multiple items only to find out that she did not get the deal she thought she was getting because of the way the transaction was rung up. Because it was a "final" sale, the man ringing her up said he couldn't help her and it was too late. The sale was final. Whether that was really true or not doesn't matter as much as how the sales person treated this customer. He had no empathy and really was not a nice person about it. After the lady left, he said "why do I care what happens, the stores closing and I'm not going to be here anyway." It's such a commentary on how some people just can't be kind. How hard would it be to tell customers ahead how best to have their transactions rung up to get the deal or at least be kind when the customer feels very wronged? I really don't know what is wrong with people these days. I hope this lady disputes this transaction with her credit card company because I'm sure she will be given the accurate amount she would have gotten with a proper checkout process, but with everything happening in the world today, it so sad to see that a young man couldn't have been a nicer human.

They carry a broad range of items, both in terms of styles and price points (e.g., ranging from Steve Madden to Zadig and Voltaire and everything in between).

They make great use of the relatively small space, which is awesome in terms of having so many options to choose from, though it can be a little difficult to sift through the tightly-packed clothing. Thankfully the staff is very friendly and will help you find whatever it is you may need. One thing to keep in mind is that they have a seven-day return policy, and returns are for store credit only.

My experience yesterday, 8/10/25, was unacceptable. I came in to look at a few items, and was greeted by a different sales associate (who I believe happens to be a friend of Sharon). I was looking at a handbag on a shelf next to a clothing rack that I was interested in buying, and the associate rushed up to me and chastised me as if I were a 10-year-old, and said I was "not to touch the display." How would I know if I wanted to buy the bag if I could not hold it and see the interior? I told the sales associate that I did not appreciate how she spoke to me (there was no one else in the store), and she doubled down, refusing to apologize. J McLaughlin, please train your staff to have appropriate customer service skills, and if they cannot provide them, then release them. By contrast, the staff next door at Bluemercury are always wonderful and helpful. I will not be returning to this J McLaughlin location.

But here is where things get a bit strange. When I was rinsing out the vase, I noticed two stickers on the bottom. One said Mervyn's $39.99 and the other said Goodwill $8.99.

I don't have an issue with recycling from thrift stores. I do it myself. What was very odd to me was Jory's did not take a minute or two to remove the stickers. Very tacky. This would have been a five-star review if the flowers had arrived on time and in a vase that did not show its thrift store origins.

Harper Greer is a wonderful place - I have been going there for almost 20 years. Most of the clothes are made of natural fabrics (cotton, silk, wool, etc.), and they are extremely well made. Styles are classic and tailored, and I have a number of jackets and skirts that I have been wearing for more than 10 years. The only time I ever had something "come apart" was my own fault - I wore my favorite shirt from H-G out at the elbows. The fabric wore thru, but the sewing was still fine. Service is remarkable, and both John and Terry go out of their way to serve you. Many years ago, they came out with some Hawaiian shirts for women. My husband was so taken with the fabric, he asked if they could do shirts for him. Much to our surprise, they agreed to make a set of shirts for him. They still look great. I was just there recently, and John helped me find a few things, including something that I thought would not look good. John suggested I try it anyway because he was sure I would like it. As always, he was correct. Joseph the tailor is also wonderful, and on more than one occasion he recommended that I try something on in a color I thought was bad for me. I was impressed that he had thought about it, and he was right. The atmosphere of the store is great, and you are always treated extremely well. I never miss a stop there when I am in San Francisco, and I often order via phone. I know that i can always count on them. read more

Like other overweight women, I find it difficult to buy high quality clothes suitable for the professional workplace. The Catherines/LaneBryant stores specialize in sportswear or polyester knock-offs of quality shirts and suits. Harper Greer has long had a limited but lovely selection of silk tops that work with skirts and slacks for even the most difficult figures. I desperately miss some of their earlier, spectacular Vietnamese silks, which featured such interesting patterns and tone-on-tone stitching. But even the somewhat more restrained silks - and indeed some of their well-cut polyesters - are still a staple of my wardrobe. I no longer live in the Bay Area but from the opposite coast of the country I now I buy by web and phone quite regularly. I still do shop at other stores, like Macy's, and there I find things I can wear for a season before they stretch out, unravel or otherwise become raggedy looking. My Harper Greer clothes, on the other hand, last for years. Call me a loyal customer read more

For us plus-size fashionistas, there's nothing better than finding a retailer with style without the retail attitude (if you know what I mean). Not everything at HG is my style - many things are too flowy and not quite structured enough. Nonethless, I have many, many pieces of HG original fashion that I've purchased over the years, and I love them all. On my most recent trip, I took in three pieces that were purchased 3-5 years ago that no longer fit due to a recent weight loss, and their outstanding tailor was able to alter them for me at a very reasonable cost. Now, I can once again rock my favorite HG asian print jacket and classic black trousers. I also added a great top in my signature color (red) and a fabulous dress. John is a fantastic help in finding styles and colors that truly flatter, and is never pushy about selling. A stop at Harper Greer is truly a must for me every chance I get! And don't miss their accessories - lovely scaves, jewelry, etc. read more

I can't agree more with the other reviewers. HG is a fine store with very tasteful clothing that is not trendy, nor boring. I would not call this a commercial (Lane Bryant, Avenue) retail store. It is a fine proprietor of clothing for large women. You get what you pay for and more. I first learned about the Berkeley store by accident. I am a plus size woman so I am always scouting plus size retail. I had the most wonderful experience stumbling into the store. The staff were extremely engaging, John the owner (who is also a great musician) knows women's (large women) fashion that is flatering to the figure. He will tastefully tell you when, "... you may want to look a another cut or color, or that looks just great on you..." Now that they've moved to San Francisco I can't drop in as often - but when I do I am never disappointed and always spend more than I intend too. Great store for the plus size woman! read more

I am - most of the time - a dash in, dash out - Macys, Marshalls, TJ Maxx - please don't make me shop- kind of girl... But years ago I stumbled into Harper Greer waiting for some outlet store that wasn't going to have anything that fit me in it anyway to open up in the morning (and we're talking 20 years ago)... And I've been their's ever since. I've adjusted to having people bring me clothes in other sizes or other colors, and bring me tea, and suggest things I might like, and remember my name, and remember that I'm from out of town and only show up a couple times a year... And it's been a lovely adjustment. I just haven't quite adjusted to the new location yet but mostly that's because I can call and they'll ship me things - so why work out the parking when you're spoiled and don't have to drive from Monterey to SF...

I have been shopping at Harper Greer for more than 12 years and love their clothes. Their fabrics are wonderful and unique, John is wonderful to work with and very helpful with suggestions. The service at HG is top-notch in every way! Since I live on the east coast and generally get to San Francisco only once a year, HG has made it so easy to order on line since they know what I've bought before, which size fits for each type of garment and they will even send fabric swatches. I also commend HG for carrying some more moderately priced casual items. I also started shopping with them in the old south of market location but like the Sutter Street store and hope it brings them more traffic. Keep up the great clothing opportunities for we plus-sized gals! read more

I discovered them by accident many years ago when i was in town attending a meeting. My name is Greer and I noticed their name and looked in the window. At the time I lived in Alabama. I became a customer that day and have been one ever since. I have always appreciated the designs, fabrics and styles available for plus size women. The clothing is interesting and varied with style that is not as easy to find "off the rack". There is an on site tailor who will adjust fit on any purchases as needed. They have even made their styles for me in fabric that I have chosen and brought in. GREAT option for women size 12 and higher. Cannot say enough to praise my experience with them. read more

I've been visiting this store for over 20 years and have always been satisfied. The quality of their clothes are surpassed only by the helpfulness of the owners and staff. It is so hard to find well made attractive large size clothes. I've never found anything else that comes close to Harper Greer in the quality of the materials and workmanship in their clothes. I live on the east coast and it is a tribute to HG that I shop there almost exclusively - a good bit of it through phone conversations with one of the owners or their excellent sales staff. John (the owner) knows my taste, my favorite colors and what looks good on me. I trust his judgment completely. read more

There were cute tops by Mint, Velvet, Development, Vince, dresses by Diane von Furstenburg and Twelfth Street, jeans by Rock & Republic, Habitual, and Joe's - just to name a few. I took advantage of the 20% off discount and got a lovely slip dress with silk trim by Twelfth St. I definitely could not work here, and I'm glad that they're out in Walnut Creek, because I would do way too much damage here.

There are just so many cute items at this store including this black keyhole sweater by Twelfth St that I bought today :) The sales lady was especially friendly and helpful. She even browsed the Twelfth St website for me to see if there were any other items that I may like.

Stay away from this business…read more My wife consigned a designer two-piece outfit from Paris at A Dress Change. The outfit originally cost approximately $400 and had only been worn twice because it was too small. The consignment agreement was that it would be listed for $140, and if it did not sell within one year, the owner was supposed to contact my wife so she could decide whether to reduce the price, have it donated, or pick it up. We were never contacted. After 18 months, my wife called three separate times and left messages, but Jonni, the owner, who calls the shots never returned a single call. We then went to the store in person. The clerk, who was very kind and professional throughout this ordeal, initially told us the item had been donated. She wasn't able to confirm exactly what happened but promised she would have Jonni call us. Once again, Jonni never contacted us. When we returned to the store, we were told that the outfit had actually been sold and that we could pick up a check on Thursday. We came back on Thursday only to be told that Jonni writes checks on the third Friday of the month, so we had to wait another two weeks. We returned on the third Friday, and once again there was no check. The clerk was visibly upset and apologetic, saying the check would be available the following week. After multiple trips to the store, numerous unanswered phone calls, conflicting information about what happened to our merchandise, and months of frustration, we finally received a check for only $36. My biggest concern isn't the amount of money--it's the complete lack of communication and professionalism. We were never contacted as required by the agreement, our calls were ignored, we received contradictory explanations about whether the item had been donated or sold, and we had to repeatedly visit the store just to get answers. The clerk did everything she could, but the owner was essentially unreachable throughout the entire process. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend consigning valuable clothing here. I will also be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau because I believe businesses should honor their agreements and communicate honestly with their customers.

Love this shop!!! I was looking for a dress for a special…read moreoccasion that was coming up. Chris helped me out and I did find two perfect options as well as several options for another day! Chris is creative and does an amazing job of pulling things together in outfits. She really loves helping create options which I have no talent to do myself. She was so nice about it as well. I now feel like going back will be as nice as going shopping with a good friend. They offer a very nice variety of high end clothes that are organized nicely, easy to find what you need, and very reasonably discounted. I wanted to buy more items, but realized the shop is close to my home and I can just come whenever I need something! I hate to shop, but now I'm looking forward to it!

I love that. It's a boutique that specializes in bright colors and patterns, like the late sixties dropped in for a visit and decided to stay. It was very tidy and well organized. And they have husband chairs near the dressing rooms. The staff was very attentive, making nice suggestions. And it was reasonably priced.

Unique and colorful clothing, high quality and worth the price. There is usually paid street…read moreparking nearby.
