Anne Fontaine

I have shopped at Anne Fontaine for many years and have always loved the product. Earlier in the year I purchased a shirt, wore it, washed it per the instructions, and the shirt shrunk. I was not able to get back to the store for a couple of months and no longer had the receipt. I finally got to the store and the manager was able to find my receipt in the system so he knew I paid full price. I asked for a refund as I didn’t want another similar short assuming it would shrink again. The manager called his boss who said that they would only give me the sale price (even though they had a record of my payment!) and essentially I could take it or leave it. I left it deciding that I would get in touch with AF customer service. I called customer service and they couldn’t help me so I asked for the CEO’s phone number. I have now left him 4 messages and no call back. It is unfortunate that a retailer that is supposed to be so high end has such bargain basement service. Unacceptable. AF has lost a customer and I am telling all of my friends.

I need to clean out my closet full of sub par white shirts and black shirts.
I need to have Anne Fontaine’s shirts in my closet. I want to be like the French and have only a small selection I can mix and match with accessories and scarves. With quality pieces as you really don’t need much.
I appreciate the way the shirts are made and that she has extra buttons on the front of her white shirts to keep them from the embarrassing gape that makes one paranoid and constantly pulling down said shirt (!!!).
My shopping experience here was really pleasant and I ended up buying a black and white shirt that will be a staple in my closet forever.

I purchased a shirt back in February 2014. The shirt was in back order and I was told they would cut it in France and I would receive the shirt March 17. By April, I still have not received the shirt. I was told that they might not cut that shirt I purchased. I asked for a refund, and was told that I had to go into the store, which I did. When I went to the store, I was told that Anne Fontaine does not typically issue refunds, and they would need corporate approval. I still have not received the refund or heard back, even though I have called the store multiple times, and it is now mid-​July. I think in total, I have called the store about 5 – 6 times and the store never followed up.

I made my first visit to Anne Fontaine on Grant Avenue, hoping to find something to wear for my upcoming wedding in Morocco. Angela was very helpful and professional. I didn’t want a traditional wedding dress. That I’m sure of. But I was at a lost about choosing the right outfit. But after talking to Angela I left the store feeling more confident. That was many weeks ago.
Here’s an update: I will be wearing a dress by Issey Miyake.
Although I’m not wearing an Anne Fontaine for my wedding, my experience at the store will always stay with me. I will return to the store.

The staff at Anne Fontaine is probably the best in all of San Francisco retail. Fun, no pressure and very professional. Thanks Rachel, Anne Marie and Emily!
I recently converted a fellow fashionista friend (saving her from a lifetime of J. Crew… I tell all my friends that I’d rather buy one thing at Anne Fontaine than five things at J. Crew)…She had an amazing time shopping here last week, so I think we will make it a tradition. I hope that the fall collection includes more dresses, which are rare product for Anne Fontaine… and yet my most favorite item.

I LOVE this store as well as the store at Santana Row. The clothes are wonderful, feminine but bold. I adore the collars which turn a bland outfit into something spectacular. So far every sales person affiliated with Anne Fontaine has been a gem. Polite and helpful,
Yes, this is white blouse heaven, but many styles also come in black. And you don’t need to be stick thin to wear these clothes.
This store satisfies my obsessed with not buying clothes made in China.

The window display at the San Francisco storefront drew me in, and the gorgeous clothes kept me in the shop for at least 30-​minutes. If you are trim and stylish, Anne Fontaine clothing is going to make you look like a chic doll. My favorites were: the Sydney belt, the Emmalee sweater, the Nelly short sleeve top, and the Naia shear v-​neck top. Emily — the wonderful saleswoman on-​shift during my visit — earned my respect. She was patient and helpful. Ladies, I recommend that you get a nice boyfriend and go shopping at Anne Fontaine. ;)

Ah yes, Anne Fontaine… still beautiful, still high quality, still imaginative, still expensive. Though she’s expanded the line to include accessories, jewelry and other articles of clothing, the edge is still there, still the best white shirts around and the service in the San Francisco store is still stellar.
My last shirt and shopping experience was absolutely gorgeous!
Anne Fontaine still kicks ass!

Beautiful white shirts. Sometimes even gorgeous. Once a upon a time I had a thing (obsession) for white shirts. At one point I had 20 + white shirts, each one was differnt from the other in some small or big way. Ruffles, ¾ sleeves, short sleeves, fitted, boxy, super pointy collars, mandarin collars and on and on. I’m over that now and have just a couple of white shirts in the closet. And thank jeebus that I am. Because? This shop would break me.
It’s also sort of funny to walk by this shop and see the employees ironing shirts.

Was invited to a Fetes Des Meres (a French Mother’s Day Party) at Anne Fontaine and indulged in a champagne, music, hors d’œuvre reception. Classy and über chic store with shirts with $$$ signs. Very simple white shirts to very intricate ones for dressing up or casual wear. Wide array of white shirts to suit all lifestyles but be ready to fork out the dough… Staff members were extremely friendly and introduced themselves and addressed me by my first name.

The paradox of choice right here: a white business shirt. What could possibly look better or more versatille? What could possibly have a shorter life span due to human sweat glands? And to pay a little over $ 120 for a shirt you can wear in good conscious 3 times. But I am sure you are worth it.

Ladies, f you have a need for white blouses to go under your pin-​stripped suit or blue suit, here is the place to stop by… but not only are these plain white blouses, some are very stylish with wraps here and a tie there… or some special ribbon to add as an accessory… this season, they have some beautiful peacock blue and brownish lace blouses which are amazing… do check it out
