Sui GENERIS, Revamped & Expanded

Photo by Miguel Flores

For girls with style-conscious guys in their lives, walking into Castro-based men's boutique Sui GENERIS hurt like hell. Faced with the glorious cuts, luscious fabrics, killer vintage concert tees and dapper shoes found in the impeccably-kept shop was enough to make any turned-out woman want to shed her dresses and start looking like Annie Hall.

Luckily for us ladies, the uber-connected men behind Sui GENERIS, Miguel Lopez (a former consultant for Ralph Lauren and Max Mara) and Gabriel Yanez, have heeded our call by not only revamping and doubling their men's shop, but going all out and opening a new women's store right next door.

Expect the owners' keen eye for consignment, vintage (Alexander McQueen and 90s Versace, anyone?), and new pieces from up-and-coming designers like Julia y Renata Franco, Sergio Davila and Andrew Wedge. And because girls wouldn't be caught dead without accessories, they're throwing their weight behind a breathtaking collection of handbags, scarves, belts, wallets and more. If you have a closet full of luxury designer pieces you don't want, share the wealth!

Their men's store grand opening party happens tomorrow, Feb. 12th, and the soft opening for their long-anticipated women's shop takes place on Saturday, Feb. 19th. Get ready for a shopping spree.

Thank you for the inclusion! Yes, definite acknowledgement to all the women of color in technology. There’s plenty of us, but our media usually gives so much attention to the athletes, singers and actresses who deserve recognition, but it’s nice to see a balance. Thank you

Best designer consignment for men in the city-if not the whole bay area. I can't wait for their womens store, I'm sure it will be Kris consignments new rival.
