Opened in 2003 by Cornell grads Cathy and Corina, Azalea Boutique supplies San Francisco's stylish men and women with of-the-moment clothes and accessories. Both popular labels and up-and-coming brands are stocked, with the choice pickings including James Perse T-shirts, See by Chloe dresses, Spring Court and Creative Recognition shoes, and denim from A.P.C., Cheap Monday, Naked & Famous, and Nudie Jeans. Eco-friendly products make a solid showing too, ranging from Loomstate's 100% organic cotton tees to soy candles and beauty products featuring plant extracts and vegetable oil. For accessories, highlights include Spitfire and Ksubi shades and pendant, locket, and charm necklaces from Hollie Ten, Katharine Sise, and Ophelia, respectively. Although in general the price tags can be on the high side, great steals are often found on the sale racks.
After shopping to your heart's content, treat your dead-tired digits to some pampering with a manicure and pedicure at the Z Beauty Lounge in the rear of the store. Only natural and organic products are used, from the all-natural sugar buffing cream to the warm foot/hand soak infused with fruity essential oils. The tempting selection of beauty products ranges from body oils and bath salts to hand-made soaps and fresh sugar scrubs. One more reason to check out Azalea: the boutique frequently hosts fun events including trunk shows and cocktail hours—check their website for the latest news.
