Home to SF designer Susan Hengst’s thriving fashion line, this boutique/atelier feels more like it belongs in Nolita then the mission district. That being said, best known for feminine dresses and separates with modern sex appeal, House of Hengst appeals to only the most chic mission shoppers. Selling in predominately stylish stores across the world—Fred Segal Santa Monica, Legacy NY, Satine LA, and Franck et Fils in Paris—SF should be proud to have a locally recognized designer like this. Bonus: This being the “flagship store,” expect to find coveted one off’s.
