Best of San Francisco

If you're a fashion-conscious gal with a fat wallet, you simply can't walk down Haight Street without making a pit stop at this funky, ultra-hip women's boutique. Owned by Susan Jones, the same fashion hound who owns Back Seat Betty and Sybil on Union, this trendy shop caters to the seriously style-conscious woman who doesn't want to look like she just stepped out of a Banana Republic ad or a J. Crew catalog. Of course, looking good doesn't come cheap. A silk Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress, a luxurious Mayle lace blouse, a Chaiken trench coat, and a lamb leather handbag each costs over 300 bucks. But you get what you pay for. Most of the high-quality clothes are handmade by the latest cutting-edge designers like Tocca, United Bamboo, and Mint. Although it's definitely not your one-stop shop for clothing needs, Sybil is the place to go if you've just hit the Lotto jackpot or you're in search of a one-of-a-kind outfit for a very special occasion.
