Re:store

120 Maiden Lane, Union Square

Re:store stocks women's clothing, jewelry and other products, bringing direct-to-consumer, online-only brands into a brick-and-mortar retail space.

"I wanted to build a community that connects aficionados and makes brands discoverable and accessible in a more personal way," writes founder and CEO Selene Cruz on the business's website.

The three-level, 4,200-square-foot space features products from 70 online brands — such as Sézane, & Other Stories, Dirty Lemon and Lisa Says Gah — with 2,000 other brands currently on the waitlist for shelf space. (Re:store also stocks products for men.)

Re:store's current Yelp rating of five stars out of seven reviews indicates positive attention from shoppers.

Yelper Diego R., who reviewed the business on Sept. 30, wrote, "I found the store to have attentive customer service and a really clean and chic vibe."

Bree L. added, "This is going to be my all-time fav boutique in S.F."

Re:store is open from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. on Monday-Saturday and 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Winnie Couture

1827 Union St., Marina

Winnie Couture is first San Francisco location of the Beverly Hills-based bridal wear designer.

Since its founding in 2001, Winnie Couture has expanded to Chicago, Houston, Charlotte, Dallas, Boston, Atlanta and now San Francisco. The San Francisco shop carries a full line of wedding gowns designed by brand co-founder Winnie Chlomin Lee, who has designed dresses for Hollywood celebrities, including Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Aniston.

Visits to Winnie Couture are by appointment only, and its salon can accommodate up to six guests per party. (See the business's website to request an appointment).

Winnie Couture's current Yelp rating of four stars out of four reviews indicates the newcomer has received a warm welcome so far.

Yelper Grace L., who reviewed the shop on Sept. 30, wrote, "Go to Winnie if you want to find your dream dress!"

Winnie Couture is open from 11 a.m.–7 p.m. daily.

Rent The Runway

228 Grant Ave., Floor 2 and 3, Union Square

Rent The Runway is a clothing and accessory rental service and the first San Francisco outpost for the online company.

At Rent The Runway, customers purchase membership plans that give them access to a wide array of designer garments, accessories, home goods and more, which can be rented for an indefinite amount of time. The service's stock features a rotating selection of more than 15,000 styles from 650-plus designers, including formal and maternity wear, and memberships are available in three tiers: Reserve ($30/rental), Update ($89/month) and Unlimited ($159/month). Promotional discounts are available to first-time customers. See the business's website for more details.

At this brick-and-mortar shop, Rent The Runway members can browse and try on new offerings, as well as pick up and return their rentals. One-on-one styling appointments are also available.

Yelpers are still warming up to Rent The Runway, which currently holds three stars out of seven reviews on the site.

Liz F., who visited the new addition on Oct. 19, wrote, "I went to the store for my first time today, and everyone was super nice and helpful!"

Meanwhile, Lauren W. noted, "I'm rooting for RTR, but I was very underwhelmed by this flagship. Here's hoping it gets a layout update and their next location is not at the top of a super narrow stairwell."

Rent The Runway is open from 9 a.m. – 8 p.m. on weekdays, 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Sunday.
