Such a gem in the city! Cielo Boutique SF has the perfect blend of unique, standout pieces and a welcoming, stylish vibe. The salesperson who helped me was amazing--so personable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about helping me find styles that fit both my taste and body type. Her eye for detail and effortless style really made the whole experience feel elevated. I walked out with a few pieces I absolutely love and that I know I won't see everywhere else. Highly recommend stopping in if you're looking for fashion that's fresh, bold, and personal! read more

I have purchased some wonderful, eclectic pieces there including some Comme des Garçons as gifts over the years. But buyer beware... the manager/salesperson who is mostly there is off/on, and has given the full disdainful up/down to first time customers. I have also received this, while on another occasion, could have a very positive experience. I am much more comfortable visiting their Palo Alto location - and recommend that if anyone is in the area. read more

I am always so inspired by Cielo's windows, and I was saddened when I saw that there old location was empty, HOWEVER!, they have moved down the street! Their new location is: 1903 Fillmore Street, (next to Crossroads Trading) So if you too are a fan of this shop's window displays and the wonderful, beautiful, unusual, and inspiring clothing inside, visit them at their new location at 1903 Fillmore Street. Happy hunting! read more

Oh lord and Jesus wept. This is the end all be all of avant gard clothing. Of clothing period. I still have a pair of Yohji Yamamoto combat-style boots from 20 years ago, I wore to death in Berlin. I had a belt and sunglasses, a friend stole because they were too awesome to not get sticky fingers around. If I had endless money, I would drop all of it here. I admit it's possibly not, THE friendliest place, if you are a rando. If you are of the fashionable persuasion, they have designers of the off beat style. Game recognizes game. They know who comes in and whether or not they 'get it'. Yeah, if you walk in looking like a deer in headlights they probably won't help you that much because your face is scrunched up while you're looking for the conventional. One of the only non boring stores I know of. I don't think they are still at Stanford Shopping Center, but before Stanford Shopping Center was bought out and became an utter bore, for me, it was a must. They then moved to University ave in Palo Alto. I personally wouldn't go in without prior knowledge of designers and they have a the vibe in the store. Be prepared to throw down at least a grand. Calling all black AmExer's! If you're a Beige Becky who want's to fit in, fall in line, get your Birkin, don't bother. Word to the wise, the staff won't B.S. you there. If they think something won't suit you, they will let you know! I think that's helpful, other people do not. read more

Amazing collection of European designers. Lot of guidance and information if you would like it. Truly curated.

Too bad it's not possible to leave zero stars. Walked in, happy, said we were looking for dresses for a dance. Sullen and irritated woman (WHO WAS ALL ALONE IN THE STORE WITH NO CUSTOMERS WHATSOEVER) said "that's really not my style." um, okay -? Left and subsequently met nice people at Paige and then bought something from very nice people at Velvet. Was very tempted to pull a "Pretty Woman" and stop back in with our purchase from another store on the way back...but didn't bother. PS -- We were both super-dressed up that day, and in a good mood. So who knows who actually buys anything from this store. Geez. read more

To be honest, the sales person was helpful. She was just trying to do her job and ask me what I do for a living to help me with my shopping. She showed me some more "corporate" pieces- unfortunately, they were all $1000. She tried to convince me that I should get one good piece every season, thus, connotating that I buy that one piece here. Overall, the pieces are very original; unfortunately, I have a 401(k) and a Roth IRA to fund. In short, go here if you make a 6+ digit salary. Go here if you're a buyer / fashionista and you need to keep up with the industry trends. Go here if you don't even know how your 401(k) works. But don't go here if you think you can find just as good an outfit for the office in the teenage department of Nordstroms or Macys. In the meantime, I'm going to De Novo read more

All of the pieces in this store are absolutely gorgeous. The buyer pays amazing attention to detail and finds the best pieces from the best designers. I will never be able to afford the clothes in this store, but I love to stop in and see the beautiful craftsmanship and feel the fabrics. Cielo is like a fashion museum for me, and the owner is so gracious and nice, she doesn't make me feel unwelcome but likes to talk to me about the designs and recommends other designers for me to check out. I would die to work here and get to see the clothes everyday and learn more about the shop, but until then I stop by and drool over all of the clothes and shoes. read more

I love the brands they carry. I don't know where else you can get Ann Demeulemeester, Dries, and Yohji Yamamoto in one store in the city. Unfortunately, I wasn't too impressed with their stock selection. They had the really cool Ann D lace up boots from FW08 that are sold out everywhere - except that's just that. Its 2 SEASONS old!! We're coming out with FW09 now! And - it wasn't even on sale. I guess that's why its still there.. Hello Cielo - did you miss the memo on the country's recession? read more

Amazing store with an amazing shoe collection, all of which I can't afford. One day.... They carry Marsell which is absolutely gorgeous hand-crafted shoes. Worth every penny that I don't yet have. Again, one day.... read more

I almost hyperventilate with excitement while browsing through this store. :) The merchandise assortment is beautiful, with a true unique design and style-sense that i rarely see in american retail stores. Its such a breath of fresh air looking at those beautiful pieces of art. Prices are expensive but i think the items speak for itself. If only i have the money, i could buy the entire inventory. That would make me a very happy woman.. Bottom line: A true fashionista would not miss this store! read more

Two years ago I bought a jacket. Full price. Last week, I saw the same jacket on the rack. Full price. Need I say more? (Very sad, because the sales staff is very nice) read more

Worst customer service ever. I really could care less what you have or the cost. Attitude is the prevailing thought. Do not go! So many other boutiques on Fillmore. Incredibly bad. read more

One of only two places in SF that carry Yohji Yamomoto for baby girl. The other place you spend less coin of the realm to get your Yohji on, but you get more attentive service at Cielo. Ladies, send your man to Marc J. or D&M Liquor if you're gonna be tryin' on the whole store. read more

Wonderful selection of the most current and coolest clothes from European designers (Ann Demeulemeester, Rick Owens, Yohji Yamamoto, Limi Feu, Dries Van Noten, Anne Valerie Hash, etc.) as well as shoes, bags and accessories. The store manager, Bessie, is on top of it re: product knowledge and has an incredible eye for what might work for you without being pushy. Hands-down one of the best boutiques in San Francisco. There is a reason it has been around forever. read more

Expensive but very much worth it. Great Dries Van Noten selection. Sales staff is professional and friendly, no snobbery here. Great from the aspect that it just isn't ridiculously trendy. It is pricey, yes, but if you love fashion and you're willing to pay for great clothes, come here. Cielo is awesome. read more

Love this store-fantastic shoes collection!

I am biased because I like the owners. But I loooove the selection of Anne Valerie Hash, Ann Demuelemeester, and now Yoji!!!!! I definetly reccomend blowing a paycheck here read more

OMG I went crazy in here! The designers they carry are absolutely spectacular. Tsumori Chisato, Yohji, Marni, Dries Van Noten, just to name a few. What more could you ask for and it's all in one store! Some of the reviews below sound like a personal vendetta to me... The customer service here is outstanding! I will definitely be back here next time I visit San Fran! read more

NEVER AGAIN! It is unfortunate that a store with such great merchandise would have such dispicable sales help. I would be happy to shop here for my Belgian fix if they actually treated me with.. common decency? What is up with that tiny Asian lady? She gives me the stink eye every time I go into the store. She gave my Dries Van Noten boots...the stink eye. Another time, she made a disparaging remark about my shoes being out of season. In fact, the same ones were on the sales floor at Cielo. At full price. Was she snippy because I'd bought them at Gimme? I'm taking my business elsewhere - Gimme, MAC, Nida, Saks, anywhere but here. read more

Gorgeous, one of a kind, high end designer clothes, some that are virtually impossible to find in SF. But -- and this is a deal breaker -- customer service is terrible, and it's all about sales. When things cost this much, and you drop several thousand in one visit, service has to be amazing, and it's not. No more. read more

Very rude sales associate. I have shopped at this store since late '90's, but I walked out this time because the shopping experience was so unpleasant. read more

Such a Shame. Beautiful clothing. Hard to find Chisato Tsumori, got me excited. The Manager Bessy is absolutely awful. Worst Customer Service I've ever received. I'll happily order my Marni elsewehere from now on. read more

Are these people for real? The salesperson told me that the pair of pants/tights displayed in the window could not be tried on because they were considered "lingerie." She added, "Size is medium; $841 a pair." Could that be right? You pay that price for something on faith, without even trying the garment on? Perhaps it was my sweatpants and running shoes that indicated to her I couldn't afford them. If only she knew...... read more

This is my to place where I shop all the time. Everyone is super helpful and easy. The selection is very eclectic.. plus you can get a very reasonable deal for the price you are paying. Absolutely must check out. read more

I love going in this store. The owner is very nice, and I've never felt uncomfortable just browsing (which is all I can usually do due to budget restraints). I love both the shoes and the clothing - ALOT. The only reason I have given this store 3 stars instead of 5 is that I have seen the same item(s) there for more than two seasons without going on sale. I actually own a pair of Dries boots that I got on sale 1 - 1/2 years ago somewhere else, and last time I checked, they were still full price here. Now, the clothing is timeless, but to sell things as tho they are of the current season is a bit misleading and its just a funny feeling to see things haging there for more than a year at full price. read more

I love this store and would buy my entire wardrobe here if I could. The people who work here couldn't be nicer.

My favorite women's fashion store, bar none (and I include my embarrassingly extensive knowledge of New York stores). Fashion forward. Elegant rather than irritatingly trendy. The only downside: it is expensive. But Bessie, who is there most every day, has the best eye I know. A genius at picking the perfect items for your shape, size and personality, she can make you look better than you ever imagined. If you love fashion with edge, this is your place. Turns out that $1200 Yoji jacket actually is worth it in terms of sheer pleasure and wearability; a better buy than half a dozen lesser items. Amazing, but true. read more
