Gypsy Streetwear

I shopped here for holiday gifts this past December. I left without buying anything, and when I got back to my car, I was accosted by a very aggressive man accusing me of stealing a belt. I hadn’t stolen anything, so I agreed to go back to the store. The man turned out not to even work for the store, but be the BOYFRIEND of the clerk at the shop. She had been suspicious of the way I left the store, and sent her thug boyfriend to chase me down in the street.
After I cleared the air with the clerk, I left the store to find the boyfriend waiting for me. We exchanged words, and then he physically attacked me, beating me up and choking me in the street. The cops were called, but he got away before they got there.
Both the clerk and the OWNER OF GYPSY STREETWEAR refuse to give the cops this man’s identity, even though they both know who he is. The OWNER knows that a CUSTOMER was assaulted because of the actions of her employee, yet chooses to protect this thug over her customer.
THIS STORE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS.

They dressed me head to toe for Nocturnal Wonderland and every piece was so original!!! Favorite store in all of SF! Love you guys!!! I felt so comfortable and beautiful at the festival. So many compliments! Thank you so much

You’ll be in full force party mode before you even leave the dressing room
Separate men’s and women’s shops chock full of festival-​party-​burn attire and accessories. Staff have been generally friendly and willing to help me find sizes and such. I’ve purchased a skirt and pair of pants and have been eyeing some other pieces, but after eyeing the price tags, decided against it.
As an aside, the trim on the skirt I bought looks like it was not sewed on properly (not attached in one spot) and I noticed it was coming off the first time I wore it — need to hit it with the sewing machine. A bummer for sure, but the skirt is still super cute and comfy.
Regardless, I absolutely love what I’ve bought here and wish I had occasions to wear them more often.

Hippie burner steampunk-​esque clothes, including a lot of stuff I haven’t seen elsewhere. Now they have a men’s boutique as well.

Let me get this straight. GSW moved into a larger space on Haight… and filled all of that additional square footage with menswear? I feel like a fat kid at a cupcake convention.

While out trying to find a skirt, we came into this store to check out their stock. There were a few things that grabbed my attention, but instead I wound up with the most amazing shirt instead!
This is a tiny little store with a small amount of clothes options, plus some really interesting jewelry. It doesn’t have a lot of variety, but what’s there is super cute and interesting.
The girl behind the counter was also really sweet and helpful. I’m definitely going to keep an eye on this place for future clothing ideas!

If you appreciate eclectic, unique designs by local designers in clothing and jewelry, this is the boutique for you. The clothing is quality but comes at a price. You can be rest assured, you’re unlikely to see anyone with the same thing on though. They also have their own line of clothing called «Firefly». I actually like the cool jewelry here more than the clothes though. The jewelry sets here are about $ 35 each which is amazing for the quality (earrings and necklace). They have a great selection of leather cuffs too. The sales personnel here is always welcoming, helpful and makes you feel comfortable browsing around. A comfortable, pleasant shopping experience goes a long way in my book– expecially in a tiny space like this. This isn’t the only spot around with unique designs, but it’s definitely one of my favorites to visit when shopping in the Haight.

I encountered this boutique at the Rakkasah vending extravaganza. I went to this festival not really expecting to find anything I’d be remotely tempted to buy (not into the coin-​laden cabaret costumes so much). And then I happened by this booth and it all changed. Their clothes are awesome, unique, and locally made. They’re priced moderately high, but in a get-​what-​you-​pay-​for scenario, these are proportionately priced. These items are well-​constructed and made to last (I’m a costumer & seamstress, and I look closely at production quality), and I was told if anything I bought sat in my closet for year unworn and I wanted to come back and trade it in, I could.
Both me and my partner bought something, and we both love our purchases. Because we bought two items, the wonderfully helpful lady running the booth gave us a big discount. She really wanted us to walk away with new items that we were genuinely happy with.
When I want to drop a bit more money for higher quality pieces that I can wear as accents or centerpieces to an outfit, I’ll be checking this place out again.

I’m walking down the street in my neighborhood on a beautiful Friday afternoon and I pass a store playing great techno. I haven’t seen this store before and I didn’t recognize the sign outside. So, I decide to pop my head in and see what’s new to my community. And alas! There was a new kick ass boutique with so many adorable unique items of clothing and artsy pieces for hair, legs, arms and any other body parts you can put something super original on. It was like walking into a mecca for Burning Man, hoola hoopers, fire dancers, fetish parties, gothic rock parties, The Edwardian Ball, vampire undergrounds, sexy play parties, and any other event you want to feel and look like a classic sex goddess.
As soon I walked in I was greeted by the saleswoman. Her name was Anelia. She immediately gave me information about the new store and the details of what their creative aim was and where they were going with it. It was such an easy and comfortable conversation while I was browsing. I noticed that many of the pieces were too small for the average San Franciscan who loves to eat all the wonderful types of cuisine we have here, and she completely agreed and said that they were having additional pieces made and the sizes were going to start increasing for the average human. I was impressed. They had just opened and a lot of the pieces were custom and kind of trial pieces. It was absolutely fantastic that she was so attentive in knowing that larger sizes needed to be made. It was already a work in progress. I did end up buying an adorable layered black mini skirt ($ 25.), and a couple beautiful custom flower hair pieces for under $ 15 dollars a piece.
I went back a month later and low and behold… Size 6! Size 8! Size 10! Fantastic! They had so many options and so much more inventory to choose from. And, they had mens clothing now as well. I was like a kinky kid in a fetish kandy store! More skirts, more custom head pieces, more original jewelry and beautifully made mens shirts and pants for my husband. I know for a fact they work with local designers and numerous California designers, which makes it so much easier to buy, because I know I’m supporting our local artist family. This is what it’s all about. Keeping it local.
I stop by there once a month buying something. They are constantly rotating items and purchasing new items. I appreciate the simple fact that they want to keep it funky and fresh. Exactly what a local boutique store on Haight should be doing. I applaud their courage for stepping out of the box for basic BM or fetish clothes. They take the cake for fantastic fashions.

I would have given this store a 5-​star review because they do carry some really cute Burner clothes/​accessories for much cheaper than Five & Diamond and Ceiba Records. That being said the selection is awesome and the prices can’t be beat.
I have had a couple really good experiences with the girl who works there (not the owner). She is really helpful and super sweet. But this time around, I walked in after doing some light shopping on Haight and was carrying a small bag. I walked in and this time both the owner and the girl who works there were both there. Neither one of them noticed me for the first 5 minutes I was in the store (and that’s pretty hard not to do since the store is pretty tiny). The girl who works there eventually said hi to me but the owner completely ignored me. Neither one of them noticed that I had a small bag with me.
I didn’t find anything to purchase today and I was walking out, the owner finally addressed me and stops me, looks me up and down as if to judge me and finally says «excuse me ma’am can i please look in your bag? just to make sure». It’s fine that she asked me but she completely ignored me for the whole time I was there and when I’m leaving she looks at me as if I’m a shop-​lifter? I have spent several hundred dollars here and still I am treated as if I’m nothing more than a common thief. I let her look through my bag because I had nothing to hide but next time she should be paying attention and ask to hold my bag at the counter while I’m shopping.
I will not be going back here to spend money and will tell all my friends not to do so either. No matter how cute the clothes are and how reasonable the prices are, common decency comes first.

this place is amazing! they have such great clothes and accessories. the staff is super helpful and fun.

As a neighbor who lives on Page, I’m familiar with the fabulous stores on Haight St. and find this one to have the MOST unique selection of cool but classy clothes you can’t find anywhere else. They are perfect for the Edwardian Ball, concerts, fetish parties, opera, or zillions of other glamorous occasions. Sexy, feminine, without being over the top. You will feel like a lady in your hot pink corset!
The prices are also much better than other nearby boutiques. The sales staff are charming, and there is a very sweet chihuahua on the premises to add to the ambience.
Enjoy your shopping!

Clerk was awesome — super nice to my 6 year old son (the place has lots of stuff with very little space to move around), helped me pick a pair of pants that I liked. Definitely recommend!

Yay! Finally a shop that sells fun and affordable party clothes. I have been looking for a good place to get my Burning Man clothes that aren’t 1) cheap crap from China or 2) super expensive pieces that I don’t want to lose on the playa.
Gypsy Streetwear has a great selection of tops, dresses, bottoms and accessories. After speaking to the woman behind the counter I got the impression that most of their items are handmade in the U.S. They are located a block from Piedmonts so you can go grab your spendy Burning Man hotpants in the same trip!
Definitely check this place out!
