Neda's on Haight

Neda’s Gifts & Flowers is easy to pass off as just another flower shop in San Francisco.  However, the 58-year-old shop is so much more than your local florist.  Located on Haight Street between Cole and Belvedere, Neda’s offers a unique variety of clothing, accessories, and…deer heads? in addition to their famous bouquets.

Unlike any other stores I’ve experienced in the city, the first floor is filled with many quirky finds, including elaborate displays of real bird and butterfly wing hair clips.  On one of the walls you’ll find a shockingly extensive display of taxidermies as well as animal paw necklaces.

Perhaps the best finds in Neda’s is their selection of vintage clothing. Haight Street is famous for their numerous vintage clothing shops, but many of them are very pricey, with clothing ranging anywhere from $50 to well into the few hundreds (I don't know about you guys, but that's way out of my poor-college-kid price range).

Neda’s, however, provides a good selection of very fairly priced vintage outfits and coats.  On sale this week are women’s vintage dresses that are only $10-$20.  The boutique also features women’s shoes from the 40s and 50s as well as a men’s section.  I left with two new dresses, and I plan to return very soon!
