San Francisco city guide
Villain's Vault
This airy, high-energy spot is a superb source for super-premium jeans. We find the very latest by Paige, Rock & Republic, Diesel, and others before they turn up elsewhere, and have come to count on the outspoken staff for helping us find the most flattering cuts. Also here: a small but amazing selection of funky tops and accessories.
