From funky, modern cookbooks to cute stuffed animals, purses, youthful and quirky women's clothes, beautiful silk scarves, and feminine jewelry (including real gold earrings!), to lots of fun cards for any occasion (including Jewish holidays, which is important to me!), socks with funny sayings on them, hipster aprons, soaps, candles, fun tchotchkes of all sorts, there's a LOT to delight in inside this wonderful store! I would call it WHEELCHAIR-ACCESSIBLE, because the entry is definitely accessible, and if anything isn't, the employees go out of their way to move things and make it accessible! Their attitudes in general are very friendly and helpful, as is that of the owner (it's a woman-owned store!). Therapy doesn't close until 7:30 pm, which gives you plenty of time to run in for a birthday card and gift after you leave work and are on your way to a friend's birthday party! Overall, Therapy is a fun, quirky, happy-feeling store, and I love that it's managed to survive the last few decades on Valencia St.!

A careful walk through the store reminded me of the legendary Wilkes Bashford on Sutter Street, back in the 1980s.

Greg, who had also worked at Wilkes in its heyday, helped me put together an entire ensemble. It was like a trip back in time, with the same quality, personal attention and service that is nearly impossible to find anymore.

I wasn't too familar with many of the clothing brands but I imagine its similar to the brands sold at other Haight St stores like XGeneration. The prices are also not too pricey. I also got to chat briefly with Sarah (who Im assuming is the owner) who is very cute and friendly! We we talking about Hello Kitty most of the time but she definitely has love for her boutique. While leaving the store I also noticed that they carry a small collection of Harajuku lovers up at the register.

It seems like there is an end-of-season sale going on or something because the store was a total and complete mess. Many items were 70% off, but there were slim pickings for sure. Clothes and shoes were strewn all over the place and there was very little rhyme or reason for the way items were displayed or organized. Full priced items were set out in the midst of the sale stuff and it was just chaos and mayhem galore. I found a skirt that I liked, but I was so grossed out by the fitting room with clothes everywhere and the disarray in the store that we just bounced and got the heck out of there. Yikes!

It's at the Japan Center Mall in Japantown of San Francisco and it's called Amiko. On a Japantown stroll I landed at Japan Center Mall West and entered Amiko. Inside you will see some interesting stuffed characters and other items usually from the land of the rising sun. You will also find different characters to fill a public trinket box.

Selling sharp, defective accessories and openly mocking young customers is absolutely shameful. Avoid this place at all costs -- a complete tourist trap with zero accountability.

Yes, it sucks but since they limit the number of people trying on clothes (only one on the day we were there), it ensures that more customers will get the opportunity to try on clothing. 2. No photos allowed. Not even in the dressing room. 3. Staff must assist you with fastening the dresses. 4. You must remove your shoes before trying on clothes. 5. Don't wear makeup or fragrances. If you wear makeup, they will give you something to cover your face so that the makeup doesn't get on the clothes. 6. All sales are final. No exchanges or refunds.

Cute shopping bags make for good gift bags to others. Also have a lot of Korean skincare products. Prices are slightly higher I noticed but I wanted to support the small business so I decided to get the Purito moisturizer this time and it's a lovely formula.
