Duke et Duchess

This place should be shut down for shady business practices. Swindling customers shouldn’t be a standard.
I bought a pair of jeans here and my buttons broke so I brought them back to inquire as to whether or not they’d be able to repair them. Honestly, I loved the jeans and would have sought to repair them myself if necessary.
The guy who helped me said took my information down and took the jeans and said that he would see if they weren’t repairable since, at the time, they weren’t carrying those particular jeans anymore and would have to check the warehouse.
I followed up… and someone got back to me, once, and said they would check on it.
It’s been radio silence ever since and trying to contact anyone, the owner, to help, has been a dead end at every turn.
Lovely. So not only did I purchase a pair of poor button quality jeans… I don’t even have possession of ANY jeans anymore or any compensation at all!!! The store took my money and I have jack and sh*t to show for it!!! I might as well have been renting the pants!!!
I hope this store burns down.

Weirdish name. Great prices on great stuff. I got my epic furry collared Superdry jacket for $ 130. Original pricetag?: $ 180. Not too shabby. The store itself is clean, well designed, and I love the vaulted ceilings (not that anyone does or should give a crap about their ceilings). Great quality gear, as far as I’m concerned. Not too pricy. Gitter dun.

was checking out this store with some friends when we were browsing around in the hayes area. it’s a japanese brand «superdry» clothing boutique store, but the clothes are more like american style clothing and it’s a bit pricey. they have a lot of jeans and nice shirts and jackets as well. i also thought it was cool that they have a motorcycle display at the front window. so i would definitely come back again to check more of their clothes and try out the next i visit this store.

Absolutely ADORE my Duke et Duchess jeans I got while vacationing in San Francisco last April. I am a loyal Frankie B & True Religion fan, and I literally wear my one pair of Duke et Duchess jeans once or twice a week. Similar if not better pricing than Frankie’s & TR too. I can’t wait to come back and grab a new pair on my next visit :)

The Store is in such great neighborhood. the staff is always friendly and willing to help the costumers, their clothing is high quality at a reasonable price. this place is defiantly y one of my favorite stores in SF

The discounts are good 40% off superdry. but their quantites were limited and the return policy is not something to be desired… ehhh

I can’t speak for their denim, but i bought my most favorite piece of clothing here: my SuperDry oxford shirt dress, which is in heavy rotation in my wardrobe.
I put it on hold to think about for the day and came racing back at the end of the day to seal the deal– they even waited around a few minutes after closing for me until I parked my car!
Super sweet sales associates!

This place makes cool jeans for low prices. BUT, you get what you pay for. I’ve bought 4 pairs of jeans from them and every single one has needed repairs within the first two months. Two of them had rivets fall out, two had buttons fall off, another had stitching come apart, etc.
Cheap, cool, but disposable. Not a good deal if you ask me.

I bumped into this store while visiting my old neighborhood, Hayes Valley.
This store has such awesome stuff.
I fell in love with the cardigans and the jewelry. I am also very interested in purchasing items from local designers and… this store offers that.
Customer was amazing and super friendly, especially Ryan. I didn’t feel pressured to buy anything or followed around.
I definitely recommend this store.
The prices are great, selection is awesome & they play sick music.
Too bad I live in San Diego :(

On a two day stop over to conduct a business meeting, I went shopping with some friends who live in San Francisco. We stopped into this cute store to browse. The Assistant Manager was at the front of the store and greeted us. She offered us assistance on some t-​shirts and seemed pretty knowledgeable about her product which seems rare these days in retail.
She offered me assistance with some pants I was browsing at and I ended up spending $ 200 myself on a couple of items. The price points seemed very reasonable for interesting cuts in denim priced at around $ 90 per paid of denim. There was a sale of buy one get one half off.
If you are looking for moderate priced goods which seem to be good quality, I would recommend you visit this store. There isn’t a huge variety, but the quality and individuality of the designs seem to be their draw.

This is the place to go if you’re looking for unique and stylish jeans at great prices! They also have some cool and funky accessories from local designers that you won’t find anywhere else. Check out their water-​proof canvas bags and vintage sunglasses!
Usually i get really tired when shopping, but the whole experience at Duke et Duchess was very different from other boutique stores i went to. Eljbeta, the store manager, was extremely helpful in finding what i liked and it was actually fun. I definitely will be back to update my wardrobe!

These are the worst jeans ever! This shop is a blight on Hayes Valley.
Sure, I can return these jeans for another crappy pair of jeans where the buttons break off after 3 days of use, but forget it. I want my money back!
I should have known something was up when the sales guy gave me a spare button.
All I can say is that the front button is broken and the button for the left back hip pocket is gone.
It is truly criminal that these guys are in business and they should be sued. Anybody else in for some class action lawsuit fun?

They have a great selection of jeans for women and mens (my dude friend loved his jeans). Plus the salesdudes are extremely helpful and nice, without being too pushy. I also really like their selection of T-​Shirts, bags, and hats. Best thing about this place is it is Affordable! I mean do people really WANT to pay over 200.00 for jeans? Me think no.
I came here over the weekend to attempt to find a new pair of «weekend» jeans, and they guy told me he thinks I should go DOWN a size. Plus the jeans were 30−50% off. SOLD! Yeah this place rocks.

Oh, I dunno. The old man and I were on a mission for a particular item a few doors down, and on the way back to the car, something in the window caught my eye (okay, yes I’m a window licker/​shopper).
It was nice to see a mix of some super douche, goofy-​ish, and cute items all in one little place. The prices were pretty well mixed too.
I’m a stupid-​t-​shirt kinda gal, and I have to hand it to the old man for finding and procuring me a very cute Nara (yeah, I really don’t know who the heck that is, nor did I really care. .. but thanks to google, I’m digging his work) T-​shirt. Not too sure about the jeans or the guy’s clothes, but I’d check this place out again for that little quirky something.

These jeans make my flat Asian booty look fantastic. I’ve showed ‘em off. However, having read all the other reviews subsequent to my purchase, I’m just waiting for the buttons to come flying off when I sit down too quickly or bend over to pick something up. I’ll update if that happens after a washing or two.
I marked off two stars because 1) there’s only one dressing room, and 2) a t-​shirt I purchased at the same time as the jeans is falling apart.
Since there’s just one dressing room, I had to wait quite a while. I even left the store and came back TWICE before trying on the jeans and the shirt. The t-​shirt was ridiculously cute, but after one or two wears, I noticed that one of the seams was falling apart. GREAT. I can easily fix it, but who sells a shirt like that? *insert sad face*
On the plus side, the boyfriend picked up the murse of his dreams. Okay, not really «of his dreams,» but after scouring a few other places, we came back for the man-​bag and for me to try on the jeans.

What a fun shop. This place has plenty of fun style jeans and button up shirts with over sized collars. I am a big fan of the big collar because if wearing a suit it gives the outfit a real Pop. The clothes were comfortable, Super trendy, and make for a great outfit any day of the week! Can’t wait to head back to pick up another pair of jeans.

after bringing the jeans I spent $ 70 on BACK to the store for repair twice. I will likely not come back for another pair. the first time the button fell off.
the second time the zipper broke all within a several months of normal usage. the second time the repair took over 6 weeks of waiting.
unacceptable.
so much for the initial top rating…

Calling everyone who doesn’t enjoy paying $ 240 for a pair of cute, well fitted, high quality pair of jeans (which is EVERYONE, right?!):
Check out Duke et Duchess for very reasonably priced well-​designed mens and women’s jeans. I didn’t realize that they only carry their own brand at this store; I originally thought that it was just another expensive name brand boutique when I received the invite for the opening a few months ago.
I recently acquired a pair of Duke et Duchess jeans (price: $ 79), and the cut, style and fit of them is really pleasantly surprising. I was pretty skeptical too, because usually the only jeans that satisfy me are the really expensive kind that I can barely bring myself to buy anymore. I used to say «I’ll never pay more than 200 for a pair of jeans», but sadly, almost all the cute pairs are climbing upwards of 240 nowadays.
Not only are D&D jeans well priced, they’re so cute and fit just as nicely as any pair I’d pay double, even triple for. And, I haven’t experienced any buttons popping off or other issues as previous reviews have mentioned.
Check it.

Affordable urban street wear in Hayes Valley is their motto, and they truly deliver. The jeans are all their own brand and are priced at $ 79/​pair for women and $ 66/​pair for men. But you can choose between dozens of styles. Cute, high-​quality t-​shirts line the middle of the store and helpful, cute staff climb up and down ladders to get sizes on the jeans that line the walls from top to bottom.
They’ve only been open for three months, so they are still filling in sizes (as of yet, they carry every size but 30 for women’s jeans, for example and their men’s shirts only go up to a pretty skinny size XL). They also have a limited selection of neo punk rock belts (think rhinestone encrusted skull buckles) and army-​type canvas shoulder and waist bags.
But their jeans are the important thing – since designer jeans came into fashion years ago, what you can pay for a pair of denim seems to have no limit. That there is a place in SF to buy jeans for under $ 100 and feel just as cute as the girl next to you at [insert hip lounge/​wine bar here] wearing $ 235 True Religions is almost as good as being appointed a real Duchess!

I don’t know if I got lucky in my experience at Duke & Duchess.
Let me start with that I hate jean shopping. It’s a horribly masochistic activity that I wouldn’t have gotten myself into if I, like an idiot, hadn’t worn a sun dress on a cold day. Desperation (and procrastination as I was really in need of some jeans) lead me into this shop.
I walked in and a sales girl walked up to me right away. Yes, I have to say that it was a little pushy and intimidating, but I was there to get jeans so I might as well get helped, right? So the prices are set. Women’s jeans are $ 75 and mens are $ 69. I only looked through the women’s choices. Although the prices were the same, the quality and style differences were severe. Yes, there were some jeans that weren’t that great but at the same time, I actually found a pair that I really liked and fit me.
I suggest not walking into this shop alone. Beware: the sales people will do the whole «OMG! You look sooooooooo fantastic in that!» for everything you put on. I was so happy to have my boyfriend with me to tell me what was really going on. (Thank you for putting up with me honey!)
If you know what you are getting into when you walk into this place, you do have the opportunity to find something very nice.
