Champagne and Premium Denim Await in Frame's Fillmore Boutique
Just so we're clear: the new Frame store on Fillmore Street is not a frame shop.
Those who are well-versed in premium denim recognize Frame as one of the hottest brands on the market. While Frame makes a great pair of jeans without conspicuous branding, the company might be best known for its Forever Karlie collab. The Karlie in that name is none other than 6'2" supermodel Karlie Kloss, who understandably needs a slightly longer inseam than the average gal. The brand's other claim to fame? Co-founder Erik Torstensson happens to have a rather famous partner: Net-a-Porter founder Natalie Massenet. (The couple just announced the arrival of their son last month.)
But you came for the talk of champagne and jeans, so let's skip the Frame factoids and cut to the chase.
Frame moved into the former Marc Jacobs space at the corner of Fillmore and Sacramento (2142 Fillmore Street) at the end of September, and the store sells more than just jeans. Inside, there's a selection of women's sweaters, jackets, tees, and leather, along with a collection of men's jackets, t-shirts, and jeans. The staff is incredibly attentive, and will set you up with a glass of water or champagne while you shop. If you want to kick back while you wait for a friend or significant other to try on all the things, there's a comfortable sitting area in the middle of the store.
Frame's opening just happens to coincide with the company's friends and family sale, so you can score 25 percent off your purchase right now, (though some exclusions apply). But if you're looking for those 40-inch inseam Karlie Kloss jeans, you'll need to shop online or in LA. Apparently we don't have enough glamazons in San Francisco to justify stocking that style.
