Paul Smith, San Francisco shop opens today

Friday 6 March 2009

PAUL SMITH San Francisco opens today, located at 46 - 50 Geary Street.

"I have been visiting San Francisco for many years, in fact since my hippy days in Haight - Ashbury. Although it is a very big city it feels far more intimate and friendly than many, so I am really pleased to be opening my shop here. I have chosen Geary St, which I think is a great location, even though it is not the Union Square end.

I instantly fell in love with the building because of its strong 1950’s façade; a strong, graphic piece of architecture. Inside I have tried to make a series of rooms, each with their own character so that visiting the store is a really special experience where you can really discover things, as we will not be selling just clothes and accessories for men and women but books, objects, curiosities and much more. As with all my shops I hope this shop will be like no other, full of its own character and individuality." Paul Smith,

True to all Paul Smith shops, the interior of the Geary Street shop has been designed by Paul Smith and his team with a respectful nod to the original architectural character of the building. The San Francisco shop is a striking mix of mid century modern and traditional turn of the century design, drawing inspiration from the Geary Street 1950’s façade, and brick face of the back entrance on Maiden Lane.

The shop will house all Collections and will also be filled with interesting objects and curios, turning every shopping experience into a treasure hunt of sorts.
