Cary Lane

Finally, another cute store to add to the Inner Sunset!
I’ve shopped at all 3 locations but this is probably the closest to me and is definitely a shop I stop in when I’m in the area. Bonus points for being next to Pet’s Corner! All my shopping needs in one trip!
I’ve found some awesome Alternative Apparel pieces here for myself. I’ve gifted items from Theory and MinkPink. But honestly, I typically like to stop in to shop for my boyfriend. Penguin, Obey, Publish, I’ve even found BBC here! They also carry a wide selection of Creative Recs. Cary’s private label feels super high quality too! Love that it’s made in SF.
During the holidays, I saw cute little knick knacks that would be perfect for stocking stuffers. But honestly, the candles they sell are EVERYTHING.
The store is relatively small, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find hidden treasures. I love going in to browse the new arrivals and the employees are really friendly too.
Pro tip:
Cash discount + check the sale bins.
TLDR:
Cute stuff for you, the boyf, anyone really.

I love coming here :) About once a month, my bf and I will come eat at Pacific Catch. Afterwards, we love to visit the different boutique stores in the inner Sunset district. Cary Lane is amazing. I love their accessories and bag collection. They have so many unique items that you can’t find anywhere else in the city. The store associates are really friendly and helpful too. I have trouble finding sizes that fit but the associates go above and beyond to make sure customers are happy.
Parking: park over in golden gate park, one block away from the store. it’s free and there’s usually spaces over there.

It’s not just the quality & style of the clothes… but what blew me away was the service & help provided by Christine & Melanie while I tried on clothes. The personal touch and warm vibe ensures that I will come back. Thanks to them & highly recommend the stop in for those looking for cool stuff.

Beautiful & unique leather purses and other bags, simply gorgeous — fresh colors too, like claret, light distressed pink, and midnight blue. Everything was under $ 150. Leather, I said.
I am SO coming back here when I can justify buying a new purse!

i absolutely love cary lane! i have been to the location on laguna and hayes, and was super excited about the recent opening in the sunset since i live in this neighborhood! omg, love the exceptional selection and prices! my first love is and has always been jewelry and i was like a kid in a candy shop. LOVE!!! thank you mel and cary for bringing cary lane into my neighborhood!

The Inner Sunset is really starting to blossom when it comes to fashion.
Cary Lane is an exciting new addition to the area and it’s well worth the visit.
Though I have yet to purchase anything here and some of their items can definitely be hit or miss — they carry an impressive selection of both men and women’s clothing; especially considering the rather small size of the store.
The clothes here are stylish, fairly affordable, and there is a nice array of different cuts and colors throughout the space.
It’s a great stop if you’re looking for a new number for a night out and don’t want to make a massive splurge and/​or brave the mall.
Trust.

I’m so glad Cary Lane opened up a another store in the Sunset! I grew up here and this neighborhood is very nostalgic for me. I love boutiques and specialty stores like this. They carry a number of designer clothes and the layout is always super awesome and unique! There’s always something new to browse because they have different samples of brands every time I’m in there. As always, the customer service is great and the girls there are very knowledgeable of the products and give super helpful advice. Thanks for opening this location!!!

After a couple of emails between Cary (the owner) and I, she convinced me to give Cary Lane a second try. I visited the store on one of their busiest days, when they had the Inner Sunset Microhood party by The Bold Italic. When I walked in the store was swamped with people and I had to the «old lady shuffle» around the store. I was greeted by a couple of sales associates and they checked in on me and everyone else around me. I asked to speak with a manager (Alexis) to introduce myself. She took the time to speak with me even thought the store was filled with shoppers. I kept the conversation short and sweet because I was aware that I would be taking her time away from potential customers. She apologized for my previous experience and offered to help me. I looked around for a bit and left with a couple of items plus a free gift. Alexis and the staff there that night were great and tried to help every customer that walked in. Thank you

They get a star for having a dress that pulled me in off the street. But then they lose a star for not letting me buy it or try it on. They get another star for saying they’ll give me a call when they change the window. They lose another star for not having any idea when this might be.
I get that it’s the window display, but I have worked in a half dozen boutiques, and that’s what happens. People see something in the window, and it sells. It seems like a bad business policy to advertise something that is not for sale.
But despite all that, they seemed to have a ton of really cute dresses, and I’ll probably find myself in there again. I hope that next time they will actually sell me something.

I wandered into this cute little boutique as I was waiting to pick up my burger from Jenny’s Burgers across the street.
I’m a big fan of boutiques because they usually offer things that you can’t find at malls (=you’ll find unique stuff that most people won’t know about). I was instantly greeted the moment I walked in, and the sales associate asked me if I have been to any of the Cary Lane stores before. I told her I hadn’t, and she was more than happy to explain to me that they sold designer items from past seasons.
I liked that associates left people to shop and didn’t follow any customers around. The sales associates were also dressed to impress, which I think is pretty crucial. Because let’s be honest, no one really wants to ask fashion advice from a sales associates who don’t even know how to dress themselves.
Oh and they offer 10% discount if you pay in cash too :)

i LOVE cary lane. they have way too much of my disposable income at this point. i always find something super cute and unusual and then it’s always half what it ought to cost. i think most of my shoes come from here too, cause they have great stuff in the 6 – 7 size range. the people are always super friendly and helpful. granted, sometimes you’ll find something great and it just won’t be in your size or won’t fit right. it’s all samples so they don’t have a ton of duplicates of everything, which can be a bummer. but it’s worth it for when you find that perfect thing.
all in all a favorite, especially if you’re looking for something off the beaten path.

New location in inner sunset is pretty amazing. Great deals going on for the store opening. 10% off on cash purchase. Can’t go wrong!

I am so glad they opened up this third and more convenient location in the inner sunset! Even more exciting was being the first person to walk through the door (followed by the hubby pf course) and I get to be the first to review– SWEET!
First off, I got to meet the owner who was there and he was extremely helpful and patient, given that I had a mile high pile of clothes I wanted to try on-​Thank you Cary!
I really like the less cluttered racks because there’s more room to move around and its much easier to find items. There was a pretty decent selection of clothes, particularly, dresses today and so I ended up walking away with 3 dresses and a cardigan!
Overall, just like the other locations, you can find great designer pieces (Lavand, Sunny Girl, Louie Lucy etc) at a significant discount and each store gets in different things!
It’s like dresses
And accessories
And shoes Oh My.
gasps.
And scarves
Cute purses
And an additional 25% off through FB!!!
Hopefully, there’s still some cute stuff left for grabs after I seemingly picked through most of it! ;)
