“Of necessity or by choice, there may be a revival of hand work in America. We are certainly capable, and these inherent, dormant talents may prove to be some of our most valuable resources in the future.”
—Lloyd Kahn, from the introduction to Shelter, 1973

These days, the world being what it is, it’s enough for us if a product is being made with beauty, wit, and care, no matter where it’s being made. You’ll find both vintage and new things in our shop from all over the world, though we admit a distinct predilection for things made nearby our home in San Francisco. We hope they make your day a little more excellent.
