Rand + Statler (CLOSED)

This hip upscale boutique caters to both men and women with a taste for not-found-everywhere designer labels; think Alexander Wang, Comme des Garçons Play, Raf Simmons Adidas and A.P.C., Mara Hoffman and PRPS Denim. Store owners Corina Nurimba-Hambali and Cathy Chow, who also own nearby Azalea and Welcome Stranger, are smart buyers with a keen nose for how San Francisco city dwellers dress and what they want to wear. The shop's accessories game is off the charts, especially the jewelry and eyewear selection—extra props for the mini Aesop skincare outpost in the front of the store. (Make sure to ask for samples.)
