Barneys, Union Square
September 30, 2007

Finally! San Francisco is now home to Barneys — a must-visit every time I'm in New York City. But now I don't have to fly thousands of mile to see what's new at the Co-Op.

The Union Square location is the old FAO Schwarz. Remember that building? It's not super-big, but it's better than nothing. On the fourth floor is where you'll find labels like Diane Von Furstenberg, Madison Marcus, Demylee, Marc by Marc Jacobs ... the list of swoon-worthy designers goes on and on.

Oh, and shoes are on the second floor, which is more like a mezzanine than an entire floor. If you wear at least a size 36, you're in for a real treat. (Luckily, ladies with petite feet like myself still have Nordstrom!)

So the next time you're shopping downtown, be sure to add this to the list of places to drop by. And, if you want one of those black cotton Co-Op bags, you probably have to ask — but, from what I witnessed during opening weekend, the Barneys staff will be happy to oblige.
