After leading SF menswear with their tip-top ties and shirting, the boys at Taylor Stitch have now hit rock (solid) bottom with their latest endevor: raw denim. While the denim is sourced from Georgina's Swift Mill and Japan's Kaihara and Nisshibo mills, the three pant styles were designed and are manufactured right here in SF.
We're big fans of the local leather goods at Herringbone. Their dramatic, soft leather clutches (available in 3 sizes) are as versatile as they are dramatic.
You've probably seen the San Franpsycho truck, roaming around, screen-printing the town red. Get in on the action with their latest designs, including the girl's Hungry Life a Wolf and guy's prints by local photographer Adam Warmington -- a sure win this holiday season.
4. Turk + Taylor Women's Grandad Sweater
We love the flattering cut and snug fit of this super soft, eco-wool/fleece sweater-jacket. And best of all, it's made in SF.
5. International Orange Products & Spa Gift Certificates
While a spa gift certificate is always appreciated, don't overlook their products. We're particularly smitten with their newest take-home experience: Preserve Skincare Orange Blossom Face Cleansing Pads. Plus, now through December 24, take 15% off your entire purchase (including gift certificates to the spa!) with promo-code: JOY2011.
6. Heliotrope Soy & Shea Butter Massage Candles
With scents like Black Fig Cardamom, Citrus Nutmeg, and Rosemary Mint (or even a fragrance-free blend!), who could resist these candles that double as warm massage oil? We certainly can't! At $5 a pop for the travel size, they're perfectly affordable, too.
Piece x Piece built a strong presence in the local eco-scene by taking an environmentally-friendly approach to fashion. Their whole shtick is re-using throw-away scraps -- it starts with a strong pattern that's then brought to life from fabric odds and ends, making each piece truly one-of-a-kind.
