Bastille

This place was great. They carried a lot of my favorite brands, like Saturday’s Surf NYC and Fjällräven. Sales staff were always knowledgable, helpful, and nice. I am really sad to hear that they are closed.

C’est ma «go to» boutique quand je suis de passage à San Francisco, donc environ 1 fois par an. À quelques pas du financial district, je n’arrive pas à m’empêcher de regarder la vitrine quand je passé devant, tous les matins, sur le chemin de l’hôtel au bureau.
APC, Our Legacy… on y trouve des marques relativement chères, mais qui proposent des vêtement originaux, avec ce petit twist qui fait toute la différence. Il y a 3 semaines, durant la période des soldes, j’y ai trouvé une «over shirt» en jeans en solde, à –50%…le genre d’affaire qui fait ta journée.
Vendeurs gentils, lookés et patients.
Une bonne adresse pour celui et celle qui aime les belles choses, et qui sont prêts à y mettre le prix.

This place has a super chill vibe and some awesome boutique brands. Came in when they had a one-​man team and was very helpful and laid back.

Great shop for high quality menswear.
I was hunting down an EG FW13 floral popover shirt and Paul helped to hold it for me since not many US stockists carry XS. Nice store and great customer service. I didn’t have time to browse around, but I’ll definitely visit again if I’m in the area.
The store is in a really convenient location as it’s not far from the Montgomery Street BART.

These people know customer service. I ordered online and they shipped an hour later! Received my jeans the next day, with a nice hand-​written note. Next time I’ll just walk down there though :)

Bastille caters fine quality clothing for men and women. They have a great selection of brands including APC, Topman, Engineered Garments, Gitman Vintage, Nigel Cabourn, and more. The staff was also very helpful when I went.
The clothes here are great if you enjoy a clean minimalist style. One thing I wish is that they had a larger variety of sizes.

A Unilocal story…
There once was a beautiful sales warrior named Kendall who lived in concrete retail castle, in a far off land, at the intersection of Kearny and Bush streets. One day, Kendall was visited by a handsome stranger (me), and given the daunting task of finding him some magical work-​friendly clothes. Without any hesitation, Kendall leaped over the poisonous box of bow ties and fought away the fire-​breathing tourists, and helped the stranger (me) navigate through row after row of smart, chic urban wear. She returned triumphant; with selections from Acne, Band of Outsiders, and Topman. The stranger was pleased, but did not find what he was looking for. And although he left empty-​handed, he knew that he would one day return, and break the curse of the ill-​fitting chino.
The End.

Went everywhere in the city looking for my Acne jeans. The sales associate, Kendall, was so nice to me. I love their Fjallraven parkas.

I love Bastille. Every time I go to San Francisco I make sure to stop here. I’ve picked up some wonderful pieces here from Filippa K, James Perse, Band of Outsiders, and Them Atelier to name a few. They often have great sales which are not highly advertised (since they have a very loyal following of clientele) and if you are lucky (which it’s hard not to be here with their wonderfully curated selection) you can bring some wonderful things home for your wardrobe.
In particular I have to say that I really adore Laurie who works there, last week I purchased a pair of Boy by Band of Outsiders pants and then realized I was going to be in LA when I was supposed to pick them up– she shipped them to my LA address without a problem and refused to let me pay for the handling! That is what I call a first class sartorial experience.
Oh, and it’s a big plus that your male counterparts will be equally entertained by the menswear — a definite stop in for the minimalist couple.

Bastille is one of the best kept secrets in the city, which is a shame considering the quality of their clothing and staff.
It’s always empty when I shop there, and I hate to sound insensitive, but I think it’s because the entire storefront is constantly blocked by 90 Chinese people waiting for the 30, which happens to stop right in front of the entrance.
Onto the clothes. They have a great selection of cool brands that are not easy to find in SF — Filippa K, Band of Outsiders, & ACNE are a few.
Great store, great product, great staff. And cool music playing. Just move the bus stop!

Love this store, and the staff rocks! More people need to discover this gem. Where else can you find so much Filippa K in one place???

Oh yes! Filippa K has finally opened a store in San Francisco, and it’s just what you’d want from their urban minimalist, Swedish style.
There’s a nice balance between men’s and women’s, and as can be expected, the colors come in whites, blacks, grays and reds.
I stopped in and the sales girl who was there was super friendly and you could tell really into the brand. While I didn’t purchase a pair of jeans quite yet, look for me in some probably next week. Maybe even a skinny tie if I’m feeling extra metrosexual.
Filippa Knutsson, you’re totally swede!
