    Cottage Industry appeared in an SFGate article of their 40 favorite stores in San Francisco. It's not a large place, but stuffed with an eclectic, yet clearly deliberate selection of art, antiques, and other retail items that span the two. Honestly, the best strategy here is to look at the pictures posted on Yelp, to get the best idea. The most anachronistic items were the African antiques, including a chair (pictured), a "Cameroon throne" for a cool quarter million. In the midst of the African items was a Buddhist statue, presumably because it was a similar color. I didn't ask (should have) but I assume the provenence for all the items is airtight. All in all, a fascinating place.

    Beautiful art and flowers

    Great customer service, Quality pieces that are made in Italy and a great deal of silver Jewelry too both new and antique. I prefer darker silver and my wife like brighter platinum colored jewelry. we were both treated with great care. the staff had a great amount of knowledge of what they had in store.

    Charm bracelet I made

    Came to this cute place with my friends and decided to make charm bracelets. Maritzio and Gloria were both super kind and helped us with any questions we had. Super warm and inviting! Highly recommend coming here!

    Variety of charms on display to choose from to personalize your necklace/bracelet!

    THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!! Sara (I hope I spelled this correctly) walked us through everything necklace/bracelet making, answered all of our questions and from our 2hr stay there was not one moment we didn't love I made a personalized necklace alongside a few other special items on display at such an amazing price! Worth every penny. Thank YOU cottage industry for making this experience one of our best, yet we can't wait to come back soon!!!

    Keychain

    The keychains are cute and I'm no stranger to being delicate with my keychain-- I have a ton of delicate items on it-- that's why not only was I absolutely shocked when the cashier rang my total up as $55 for this cheaply made chain that I could have made at Hobby Lobby for $10, but I found myself incredibly frustrated when my keychain broke off not even a week later. I wish I had listened to my intuition and asked her to put it back once she told me that the plastic clip alone was $18 . Customer service was also not great-- my friend and I had laid out our charms in the exact order that we wanted them put on our keychains and the woman helping us just disregarded it and put it them on in whatever order she wanted to. Unfortunately this is the best photo I have of it-- taken on the day I got it-- it broke off somewhere in sf 4 days later. Also, for $55, I'd expect to be able to have a decent keychain. I was told by the sales rep on my way out not to even let it get wet... are you serious? Complete waste of money and they don't do refunds.

    make your own charm bracelet

    this is the most darling store with so many cute charms and beads! we designed our own charm bracelets, the staff -- maurizio and gloria -- were so helpful in assisting us and so friendly :)

    Ring furthest to the right. Very unique, sterling silver. Goes perfectly with my other rings.

    Very fascinating store. I live in the neighborhood and it's always fun to explore. Most importantly, the customer service is fantastic. My boyfriend had an excellent experience shopping for me (he's not much of a yelper). Maurizio was super attentive and knowledgeable, and very friendly. Amazing silver collection. Got a perfect and unique ring!

    We had the most amazing time here building charm bracelets with the help of Maurizio! He walked us through the whole process and was so friendly. This was the perfect activity for our birthday celebration. Our bracelets came out gorgeous and were similar prices noted on the website. The shop itself is so so cute too! Highly recommend

    This is an amazing find. I was walking along Fillmore street and saw a vibrant widow display. I looked through the window and saw so many unusual and colorful items. There was a necklace I was interested in so I went inside. The store is amazingly picturesque that I was in awe. The chandeliers were plentiful and seems to be one of a kind. As I walked through the store, I saw items from Italy, Africa, local artists, and other exotic places. The necklace I saw in the window was custom made. The sell beads and will teach you how to make/design jewelry. The owner (originally from Venice, Italy) and daughter welcome me with open arms and made me comfortable even though I did not purchase anything. They were friendly, courteous and patient. If you are in that part of the City, it's worth visiting.

    We came an hour before closing and unfortunately the owner was closing down shop for a private event! However the owner is so kind :) He allowed me and my boyfriend to come in and choose a pair of charms for free and gifted us cute gems even though he was on a time crunch! I honestly understand how expensive this shop can be, but it's totally worth the visit and I will definitely be back and ready to open my wallet ‍. Thank you so much for your kindness!!!!!

    Everything is so beautiful, they were all so helpful and took the time to walk me through so many rings and sizes--i love the ring i walked away with and I'd been looking for the right one for years! 10/10 would reco

    Came here to make a charm necklace and it turned out so cute!!! They had sterling silver and gold fill options for the necklace, so I was happy to get a nice piece of jewelry out of it! Max was very helpful and taught us how to put the necklace together. We had so much fun and definitely want to come back!

There are events in SF where everyone knows it involves some type of costume.

The products are made by local artisans . Get a towel of Sutro Tower and salty waters of the Pacific Ocean on the both sides of the Bay Bridge. After the Bay to Breakers run come and get some soap. They also have San Francisco scented candles which doesn't stink like parts of Fisherman's Wharf in SF. Come here if you want feel refreshed after over a seven mile cheesy run through San Francisco at the Bay to Breakers.

I walked through the entire store and I can honestly say I've seen much nicer antique stores in Arizona. They also advertise that they have a second floor, but when I went up the stairs, there was just a small room with more garbage. I don't know how they have so many reviews online but this was the most pathetic antique store I have ever visited. I don't even think you can call this an antique store. This antique store epitomizes San Francisco, an inferior damaged broken city with damaged residents who desperately want to appear classy but are broken inside. I have never been more disappointed after visiting an antique store and I'm not the least bit surprised that this experience happened in a twisted ghetto like San Francisco. Pathetic!!!
