I am absolutely obsessed with this store! The staff is great, the clothes are adorable and the prices are even better!

Honestly the clothes are too pricey for the quality. The customer service is Okay, but I would recommend shopping somewhere else.

I’m not really impressed.
If I were to nit-​pick through Urban Outfitters, find all of their best pieces, put it all on display and mark it down about 10 dollars… then you would have Sway. It’s cute but I don’t really like Urban Outfitters anyway.
I didn’t see one outfit I could wear to work. These days, If I’m going to spend 40 – 90 dollars on a dress I would appreciate being able to wear it to the place I spend most of my time.
I’m wondering when Hipster Skank will go out of style. More styles for the working girl, please!

I absolutely love this store! Everything here is really trendy and reasonably priced; what more can you ask?
I’m not sure about the negative review. the girls here are always so helpful and nice; way better than the attitude of the employees and price of clothing at Urban Outfitters. This is my little gem!

I USED TO love this store. I’ve literally spent hundreds of dollars there over the last three or so years. The last two times i’ve bought something here, It’s fallen apart not even a week after purchasing it. I dont expect it to last forever seeing as their prices are semi-​reasonable, but when i buy a 45 $ purse, wear it out TWICE and the strap breaks I feel like thats a unacceptable. I also bought a pair of shoes that smelled so badly like chemicals and plastic i had to keep them in my garage until i returned them.
When I went in to return the items the Manager was extremely rude saying she couldn’t give me store credit for the purse because she «didn’t know what i was carrying in it.» Listen, lady, im not carrying bricks around with me on a Saturday night! She told me (after a scoff and eye-​roll) that the all the shoes smell like that when they’re new, and that it was the leather. Would have been a great excuse if they actually were leather, they were completely made of canvas and had hard plastic bottoms.
She ended up giving me store credit (now i see why they have a store credit only policy) but i never want to spend a dime of my money in this store again!
*Also make sure you HAND WASH EVERYTHING because it is SO CHEAPLY made it WILL NOT hold up in the washing machine, trust me… i’ve had to learn the hard way, too many times. *

They have really cute, affordable, and very trendy clothes here! This is a cute boutique that sells clothes, accessories and shoes. I bought some of my outfits here for my recent trip and a lot of people gave me compliments! I’ll be back soon!

I just fired my consultant, my therapist, my bff and my bartender, because I just found it all in the ultimate retail therapy spot! Love mariko and the manager (Katie?), I usually shop Alameda and Oakland sway but this is a perfect combo of both! Totally my new spot to hide away and shop while my son and his Grammy are at church. Now I’m dying to see the shop in the city!

Ah, where do I start when it comes to Sway.
Hands down, my favorite store! Their items aren’t too expensive which is nice, and it’s all so trendy and stylish. If I wasn’t away at college I’d be coming in not only to shop all the time, but to bug them about hiring me because I love the place so much.

Sway is an addiction. I try not to go, but it always pulls me back every time. The prices are reasonable, so you always come out with something because you just can’t go to sway and not spend at least $ 5 on a pair of earrings, because there is always something cute there.
The jewelry, dresses, shoes, cardigans, shirts, skinny jeans. Its my go to store and I just can’t seem to get enough. My friend who moved to New York, emailed me before I went to visit and said, «Bring Sway in your suitcase.»
The sway girls are helpful and will always help you pick out an outfit, tell you if it looks good/​bad. They all seem to enjoy their job and it shows.
The only drawback is their return policy, its 14 days store credit only, and the store credit is on a receipt that says, «Keep me.» Then they go through this whole process of verifying it was you who purchased it blah, blah. Their return policy could improve, maybe invest in cards to give people.
FYI– They also have «Sways» on telegraph in Berkeley (biggest store) & Lakeshore in Oakland (smallest store), & both are fantastic as well.

I stumbled upon this store on my way to dinner at Old Spaghetti factory and I instantly fell in LOOOOVE! I wished I lived closer to Concord… this is a cute boutique that has the cutest pumps, purses, jeans and tops. I bought three cute tops for $ 90! The selection is not overwhelming, it has just enough clothing. I’m hooked!

I love this store! I had never even heard of it until a couple of weeks ago so I went in not knowing what to expect. And was I surprised! This store is pretty much everything I’ve ever wanted in a clothing store. Amazing shoes, gorgeous dresses and not too high of prices.
The store is very clean and the layout has a lot to offer aesthetically while not being cluttered in the least bit. And the staff! They are so nice and helpful. The girl ringing me up at the cash register was extremely astute when assessing my style and suggesting other stores for me to check out.
This store is definitely one I will visit many more times.

Affordable, Trendy + Super Cute Clothes w/​Fabulously Friendly Staff = Sway

My obsession with Sway is getting out of hand. I seriously need to be grounded from going to any Sway stores for the next few months cause I’ve done some major damage the last few times I’ve been. Seriously. HELP. ME. :D
Sway Concord just might be my favorite Sway of them all. The layout is refreshing + seems to be a bit more spacious than Sway Alameda.
I went here w/​a friend (her first time at Sway) and upon entering, a top caught my eye and I’m pretty sure I gasped. LOL. I told my friend «I just LOVE this store.» She said, «You look like you’re in heaven right now.» A top + dress in hand within 2 minutes of entering the store, I answer her with a big smile on my face. :)
LOVE is an understatement when I talk about Sway… So I’ll just say… I HELLA LOVE SWAY.
Oh and P. S. Parking here is tricky. There are 30 min, 1 hr + 2 hr limit parking spots. All the parking that I saw were not metered: Yay! But it can get kinda busy at times. I circled for parking two or three times (it was Saturday when I went) and scored a 2 hr limit spot. Yes! BTW, parking enforcement people (meter maids) are out on the prowl here. I saw someone get a ticket so make sure you keep track of your parking time. Set a timer on your phone if u have to. Parking tickets are no joke.
Happy SWAY Shopping! :)

I am such a sway girl. Though, I’m really broken hearted because now that I’m in southern California, what the heck am I supposed to do?!
I have been shopping at sway for about six months. I forget how I learned about this place, but I love it so much. I’ve referred so many people to shop there, and whenever someone does go try it, they become a sway girl themselves. I get more compliments about the clothes I get at sway than any other place I shop at.
They are perfect for every kind of girl. I like to say that their prices are just above forever 21, but the quality is higher and you get more unique clothing. They turn out new clothing every week, and things go on sale until they sell. Their sales are great as well. If you join their mailing list you find out about them via email, or they have a twitter account. When I go in they usually have a sale like buy two get one free shoes, which is amazing.
I bought a pair of boots there and every time I wear them I get complimented. Now that I’m in LA I feel bad because I have to say you can only get them in the bay! I’ve also gotten some really original sweaters, dresses, and purses. They have a wide jewelry collection, with some funky pieces.
The staff there is really nice and helpful. Often I see them helping women put together whole outfits, bag and all. When I bought my boots the girl up front was wearing them herself. She said that the were so comfy and that she wears them all the time, and she wasn’t lying! Sway girls will come by and take things to rooms for you as well.
The only negative things I can say about the store is sometimes I think some of their choices are a little too funky. It breaks my heart when I would find a dress I would love, but it wouldn’t fit my body right. I bought more tops there than anything. More accessories would have been great too. It seemed like they mostly had necklaces and earrings. They would have other items but they would tend to be cheap plastic when it came to sunglasses or rings.
You should definitely go today, but beware that you’ll have to go back all the time!

Friendly staff, cute clothes, and best of all. affordable!
Much more convenient than the mall and no crowds, every time I walk in here, I leave with a new outfit for a reasonable price.

Cute place! I like this place because the prices are reasonable and they do a good job of getting in unique things. The girl working behind the counter was helpful and asked if I needed a fitting room after I started piling clothes on my arm. I’d go back again.
The only downfall is that the parking here is a hit or miss. Its right next to pete’s coffee and across from Chase bank, so there’s never any parking available. But… that doesn’t bother me… I can walk.

I am forever a sway girl at heart. The clothes are fashionable, affordable and most of all FUN. I love coming in here and seeing what is new and how the girls have put together the outfits on the mannequins. Damn window always gets me in here and I spend too much money!
The service here is awesome! Which is suprising because most boutiques in the area I find employees who are snooty or pushy. These girls are willing to tell me if my outfit doesn’t work and then they will find me something that looks better! Its like shopping with your best friend who will tell you the truth, but you leave looking hott! Honesty? What a concept!
The blonde manager (whose name escapes me at the moment.) even knows my name and we talk like old friends as she helps me pick out things that will work best for my body type and style! All the girls here are great at helping me with last minute shopping and finding exactly what I’m looking for.
No matter what, if it comes from Sway I guarantee everyone will compliment you on how great you look. Can’t wait till the next shipment!

I can kick myself in the arse for living in the area so long, and just now discovering this store. Such a cute lil boutique. Lots of trendy items at great prices. Everything you need from head to toe, I think I’m in love.
Thanks Brandy M. and J L. all that you said and more.

This is a cute little boutique that I like to slip into on my lunch breaks.
They have fun bags (same bags that I often see at Ambiance, yet here that are about 20% cheaper), cute shoes, and really great tops. Prices here are cheap, too (or maybe I have just lived in San Francisco for too long?). Their accessories aren’t great, but they often have buy-​one-​get-​one-​free deals, and his girl just can’t pass up a sale. I love the little flavored lip balms from Spain– 5 bucks and they last forever.
My only complaint is the dressing room curtains don’t latch/​tie, so sometimes as I am trying something on, I turn around and see that the curtains have fallen open and everyone in the store can see my boobies. Oops.
On the upside, Sway is right next Peet’s, so I can gas up before I head back to the grind.
