Ruby Dolls

When I went to this place I was not planning on going in at all
I was just passing by Is just that their window presentation is
so Lovely I could not resist going in.
I remember this place last year during my birthday my boyfriend
and I went together here he gave me birthday gifts from the store
a dress and a bag (by my request) so sweetheart!!!
What I like the most about is that the clothing is adjustable it fits
my body perfect, the designs are very lovely for me, the prices
are really reasonable for dresses and tops, etc.
Two weeks later i already plan on coming back again here I found to
dresses I like but i am waiting on the weekend to see something new
Ohh God I want to buy the whole store. Love Love Love !!!

Ever since I discovered this place about 8 to 10 years ago, I have loved it.
It is so unique, a small little store in a cool and fabulous building in North Beach, SF.
I love how quaint and old fashion it is.
Over the years I have gotten some cool items here.
My most favorite broach comes from this store.
It is a Pink Rhinestone Star Fish and everyone loves it! But, mostly me!
This store is a must see.
However, a bit of bad news! They are shutting down in June (mid June) after 10 years in the same spot. Hard times all around and they are just not doing the business they once did. I know the rent is pretty high there as well.
Sad to see them go, they may open somewhere else.
Sadly it will not be the same.

Ok, so it’s a little bit more expensive than New York Apparel, Sin Cherry, or other similar stores, but you know what? It’s worth it. When every Amber, Crystal, and Destiny has the same exact side tie bikini on, it’s totally worth it to get something unique. But really, when you think about it, $ 40 — $ 50 isn’t bad for a good quality two — piece set, I mean, I’ve seen more expensive ones all over the place.
AND their $ 25 and under bin has some of the best deals in town, like, for real.
They have some cute clothes and accessories as well, but I am usually too mesmerized by their lingerie section to pay attention. The ladies who work there are also great; always friendly, and accomodating.

This store is cute & has some unique clothes.
The customer service is amazing I actually called ahead to see if the item I wanted was in, in my size.
It was so I said I’d be in before closing to pick it up. After circling the block a few times looking for parking I called the sales lady & she suggested running out my clothes straight to my car!
Talk about service she even brought me exact change!
Highly recommend

Ruby Dolls is a gem! The prices are reasonable and the customer services is off the charts. It has the most darling & unique items. You can’t go wrong in this store. There’s something for everyone, trust me. I always enjoy my time and would purchase the entire store if I could. I make my way to SF specifically for this store. It has wonderful energy!

Damn it! The one time I forget to check-​in, and waddayaknow? I missed out on a Check-​In deal! Oh well, gives me another reason to go back and buy those platform revolver-​heeled stripper stilettos!
This place does have a varied mix of clothes, lingerie, jewelry, shoes, etc… a little bit naughty and a little bit nice. The have some super cute dresses and some super naughty shoes. The Oldman was able to buy something for me, his mom, and his aunt — all in one place.
See! Something for everyone.
The woman working there was so friendly; I wanted to stay longer and chit chat with her! I will definitely make it a point to pop on in while strolling the neighborhood again. And, maybe stroll on out with some dangerous pistol-​grip stilettos too!

My wife isn’t a Unilocaler but they have some great stuff so i’m gonna tuck it back and write this one for her. here we go. Really cute necklaces and earrings are some great prices. Also got a great set of gloves and a headband with a sparkly flower and a knit headband with a flower on it. Alright i’m going down in flames so ladies check it out, guys drop you girl off here… get a beer… and come back to a well accessorized lady. Special shout out to the lady working here, really nice and helpful.

5 stars mainly for two reasons
1) I fell in love with the area this store is in! The vibe along around this place makes me give it 2 star just for that!
and
2) Customer service. Whom ever worked the day I was there was amazing. She was polite without being robotic. She was funny! Mostly she was helpful. It was a hot day in SF one that I wasn’t prepared for. She helped me pick out a new outfit and I even changed in the store and walked out with the clothes on.
It is a smaller store but they still have good selection. Yes they do have some fun stripper shoes and clothes but it isn’t all they have. Tons of coats and casual cute tops. I really liked this place.
I would go back and give her my money again!

Ruby Doll’s clothes are cheap and tawdry — perfect for the Broadway strippers who make up 90% of their clientele.

Wish we’d gotten the name of the fun shop owner. We were originally drawn in by the cute clothes in the window and sweet little teacup Willy.
Very cute store, lots of variety of clothing, colorful, well kept shop and lovely shop owner (big blonde who has a 10-​year-​old girl Rott and the four-​year-​old Willy).
Darling accessories, too, as well as dog clothes and items…
Compared to other shops in the area, this store is quite reasonable.

You can’t help but be drawn into this place located on the quaint Grant Street in Northbeach. I would walk by when I used to visit one of my friends that lived down the street. The displays in the windows of fun, cute, put together outfits make you want to find out what else is inside.
The prices are very reasonable. I found a cute pair of jeans here that fit perfectly, minus the tailoring I had to do to accommodate for my 5’3 frame. There is a great assortment of clothes, from boho outfits to sexy lingerie, to more revealing Northbeach exotic dancer outfits.
I also bought some cute underwear from a $ 5 bin and a dress shirt thingy. The owner is a sweetheart. She was so funny picking out a bright yellow dancer outfit and a denim pair of underwear that she thought would look cute on me. I nervously laughed and said they were cute, but not quite for me. Maybe next time I won’t be so bashful ;)

i’ve never been one of those girls who would call herself a fashionista.
i don’t pour over magazines, obsess over shoes, and i only carry handbags that were given to me as gifts. you might say, «that’s so last season». who cares. i don’t.
i just want to look moderately cute and put together. i want shopping to be a quick and easy experience. i want to go somewhere that’s convenient and not too pricey. a place where i like their clothes enough that i can walk out with a few cute outfits in less than an hour and not be broke.
enter ruby dolls.
i used to live about 2 blocks away and my normal saturday routine would be: clean apartment, go buy champagne for saturday night pre-​party cocktails, stop by ruby dolls to see what they have.
it’s a small, very girly boutique with a lot of fun things to look at. they don’t have a huge selection but they do however have cute, unique clothes and a great shopgirl behind the counter. tons of dresses, coats, jewelry, shoes, trashy lingerie. yep, everything. since they only carry a few sizes in each clothing item, you should probably grab it because odds are it won’t be there a few days later.
anyway, i love this little shop and regret that i haven’t been in there in awhile since i no longer live in north beach.
perhaps next time my girlfriends want to drag me kicking and screaming to spend countless torturous hours «shopping» i’ll compromise and have them go here. so we can all be happy.

How often do you find a store that has cute, reasonably priced clothes AND an awesome selection of inexpensive, quality dancer outfits??? It isn’t really very often. That’s why I’ve been shopping here ever since I started dancing. Also they have a sweet sale bin, with whole outfits for like $ 25-​$ 30! I like the shop lady, Anna — she’s down to earth, helpful, and always makes it more fun to shop there.
I’ve bought regular things there too. Cute panties for $ 5, a top, and this awesome dollar sign necklace. I don’t really buy clothes here but they have a nice selection of cute, normal stuff. Even my mom loves this place.
This store is very charming, reasonable, and their interior décor is always cute with its pink walls and pinup girls in stripper outfits. And the chihuahua is so adorable and makes me happy! I love it. I just wish they had a bigger variety of styles.

Ruby Dolls has a mix of hip and funky clothes. I have to admit I was drawn in by the big «20% off entire store» sign painted on the front windows. Well that, AND the great window displays they always seem to be switching out.
I ended up with a great top for less than $ 30. It was originally around $ 50 so I was very excited. They have lots of dresses and a rack of jeans. The store was very well organized and everything seemed to have a place. I liked the variety of leggings, hats and jewelry as well. Great accessories for everyday or a night out.

I originally came here with my sister and her kids and husband. As soon as we walked in, I just assumed the clothes were expensive (little North Beach boutique). I was pleasantly surprised at how affordable everything was and the clothes were so cute. I saw a million things I loved. I came back a few weeks later to really shop. There were still lots of great looking pleather handbags and totes priced well. The girl at the counter was super helpful in helping me find jeans. I love the pair I bought! In fact, I love all the items I bought.
What made it really fun was that a dancer from one of the neighborhood strip clubs came in looking for stuff to wear to «work». It was great fun watching her try on outfits that we helped her critique.
Even though I live in the south bay, I will return to Ruby Dolls!

Alia D. is right when she calls this shop a «little gem.» There is just about something for everyone at this boutique, and I am thrilled that I stumbled upon it during my quest for ice cream. Ruby Dolls has everything from glamorous 1950s vintage looks, to Joan Jett style leather vests, to cute and versatile t-​shirts and layering tanks. Likewise, Ruby Dolls has an extensive selection of bikinis and platform heels (not all of the stripper variety, though those are fun too)! I have been very happy with my leather halter vest, and my boyfriend has been quite pleased with it too! :)
Pro: The employees are fun to chat and laugh with!
Con: Semi expensive!

Cute place — somehwere in between Ooma and Ethan. If I want to spend a little more for something better in material and cut, Ooma is the spot. If I want something less expensive and trendy for the season — Ethan’s the spot.
It has an interesting selection of items with a sales rack that you can find a steal. Most items are not too expensive but the quality reflects such too. Ok staff — can be friendlier.
Nonetheless, still a cool place to browse and shop.

Ruby Dolls does everything right. It would be easy to walk by the window and assume that the adorable clothes were not so adorably priced. But because the owners are geniuses, they put the prices right in the window so that your first impression is «THAT dress is $ 49??? Hmm, it wouldn’t hurt to try it on…»
They change their selection often, which is dangerous if you have to walk by this place at least once a week like I do. I wouldn’t recommend it for people looking for day-​to-​day clothes, but this is the place I send anyone wanting to look extra cute for a night out, a bachelorette party, a first date… you get the idea. (It’s also a nice alternative to Ambience, as their dresses are a step down in both fanciness and price. Fewer beads, more polyester. And that’s not a bad thing.)

DISCLAIMER: I am not a stripper. I just enjoy the occasional trashy outfit for like Vegas trips, etc.
Ruby Dolls has some of the best stripper gear in SF! Hot swimwear, skimpy dresses, flashy tops. I found a hot little one piece — more like a two piece — and I’ve been dreaming of it ever since. Thank you Ruby Dolls for indulging my dancer alter ego.

This funky little boutique on Grant street is a godsend! It’s easy to pass by it’s window of adorable purses and outfits thinking it’s on par with pixie, paparrazi and ooma, but this place is actually affordable! The selection is really random, they’ll be a jacket you swore you would never see in style again outside of 80s, but then they’ll have an adorable selection of purses, sexy tops, pants and lingerie. Their discount baskets in the back are full of great finds for like $ 8-​$ 10. I usually stop here for things that are really in fashion that you don’t need to pay an arm and a leg for… case in point, i found $ 10 yoga pants, a unique black tank top for $ 8, and a boho purse for $ 15. It’s in-​fashion bargain shopping without having to feel all gross pouring over florescent lit racks, like you do when you shop at ross.
My best comparison? It’s an afforable Ambiance.
