Wilkes Bashford

Wilkes Bashford

Wilkes Bashford is an upscale department store in the Union Square Shopping District in San Francisco, California.

It was established in 1966 by Wilkes Bashford and has long catered to the elite, including former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown.

The store was the first in the United States to carry Ermenegildo Zegna, which is still sold alongside other prestigious brands such as Brioni, Kiton, Oxxford Clothes, Issey Miyake, Oscar de la Renta and Dolce & Gabbana, to name a few.

The company has expanded in recent years to include other stores in California including a Palo Alto store as well as a store in Carmel in 2006. Currently, the Carmel location is the only store maintaining a beauty department, which includes cosmetics from Shu Uemura, skincare from Creme de la Mer and the full line of Kiehl's apothecary products.

Wilkes Bashford also has a smaller satellite shop called Wilkes Sport, located in Mill Valley, California.
