Brandy Melville on Chestnut Street

There’s a new shop in town and it’s called Brandy Melville.

Brandy Melville took over the space that was once occupied by Pure Beauty salon, which closed a couple of months ago and left an empty space behind for a while. The windows of this space were covered, leaving people passing by to wonder what this space was going to be up until a few weeks ago.

Now a woman’s clothing store, Brandy Melville opened in March and revamped the space with tables full of accessories as well as walls full of dresses and blouses hanging around the store. For a considerably small space, Brand Melville has managed to fill their store with a variety of clothing as well as a much-needed fitting room for their customers.

According to their site, Brandy Melville carries a range of styles, from “loose-fitting off-shoulder tees, to soft Angora sweaters and stylish dresses and tops.”

Brandy Melville originated in Europe and spread to the U.S. in 2008. Their newest location in the Marina District of San Francisco fits with the hip and young Marina vibe. On a warm Friday afternoon, their store already had a couple of customers walking out their door with Brandy Melville bags in hand.
