I had such a lovely experience at this shop today! It's absolutely stunning, and what really made it special was the service. Maurizio took care of me and my friends, and he was amazing from start to finish. He was so patient, friendly, and genuinely enthusiastic about what he does. He walked us through how to make charm bracelets and made the whole experience memorable. You can tell he really cares about helping people create something meaningful. We left not only with beautiful bracelets but also with such a great memory. Thank you, Maurizio, for making our visit so special--we'll definitely be back! read more

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. read more

I was banned from this store over a misunderstanding over the price of some jewelry. The son chased me down the street to tell me this.

This is one of my all time favorite shops in the city. The customer service is exceptional and the jewelry is spectacular. Anytime I ever wear earrings from here I am always complimented. A must visit when on Fillmore! read more

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!!! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

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!!!!! read more

Truly an amazing experience! Best spot for handmade gifts from Italy and around the world! Everyone at the shop is very friendly and helpful. I went in to create my own charm bracelet and they have lots of selections for the charm bracelet/necklaces. The brackets are very good quality! Lots of selections for the actual necklaces/bracelets themselves. The young lady at the front made sure the bracelet fit my wrist and ensured everything was to my liking. Definitely will be coming back in the future! You can tell they value each of their customers, showing great care to everyone! read more

My friend posted a cute charm bracelet she made here so I also wanted to check it out and I was shocked because the prices were way higher than I thought they were going to be. We ended up getting 8 charms, for $40 and didn't even buy any of the bracelet chain or the circles that would connect the charm to the bracelet. The bracelet chains ranged from $40-$80 for one based on the size of the rings as well as the metal. There was such variety with the charms, but spread across multiple stations so I thought that there would be more at every different station. Very cute though, but just be ready to open your wallet! read more

I love this store. They have awesome art and cool charm bracelets. Service is great. Super fun!

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! read more

The owner of this shop is very knowledgeable and gracious. He helped me make a perfect slip knot necklace for my pendant and also suggested great gift options. The amount of experience he was able to pack into our interaction was surprising and impressive and the inventory of the place is extremely unique as is the lovely staff and the owner. I left feeling inspired and wanting to return. I love this novel and beautiful gem located on Fillmore street with fair prices and superior service. Thank you Cottage Industry! read more

I'm normally not one to leave a review but I got incredibly ripped off here:( I would not recommend, I was charged 150 to polish a necklace that was still tarnished after polishing, I went home and polished the rest with a polishing cloth in a matter of seconds, I felt that should have been included in the service. Please do not be fooled the way I was, incredibly over priced. read more

I came in late Saturday night to make a charm bracelet. Mauricio was so kind and allowed me to stay past close to finish up! It was really fun sorting through the charms and building my own bracelet. It is on the more expensive side ($104 for bracelet with sterling silver clasp and 7 or so charms). However, the experience is worth it. read more

So grateful for Mauricio. He helped us make beautiful necklaces and was very charming and kind. The store is full of beautiful treasures from all around the world and is such a gem on Fillmore St. Definitely a shop you don't want to miss! read more

Today We go to Small Claims court, because Cottage industry would not return Chandelier that was crocked, bent and had a broken piece of glass. He knew it was damaged and he would not return it.

I really like to look around furniture store, accessories , gift shop or spiritual store. And cottage industry is one of my future goal. If I am rich and have time to travel around the world I would like to have a store like this to sell my collections or just for showing off. The shop is full of fun and delicates stuffs so if you are carrying a backpack you better leave it at the counter because you don't want to break anything. I wasn't planning to buy home deco or accessories. So me and my friend was just walking around and chill. But the clerk Hillary was very friendly. We stayed after the shop business hour but he wasn't trying to rush us. He introduced items background to us and was being very patient and helpful. My favorite part of their collections are chandeliers. My boyfriend's favorite is Indian god statues. Unlike there are lots of fake spiritual store on Haight couldn't recognize Shiva and even argued with us Shiva suppose to be blue and the statue was silver so it's not Shiva (duh) They can tell who is Shiva and they have more gods other than just Shiva as well. Some items even have a background story tag attached on them. This place is like a small museum and you must check it out ! read more

Cottage industry is the place to go for unique, high quality artisan goods ranging from hand blown murano glasses to world-class, museum quality artifacts from across the globe. When I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly young sales associate who help me purchase almost all of my Christmas gifts in one single go. Instead of buying my family the mass produced garbage we all usually give and receive during the holidays, I went with impeccably handmade gifts from the store. The sales associate helped me pick out charms and a charm bracelet for my niece, who had mentioned this type of bracelet going viral in a TikTok video she saw. The charms were high quality enamel, and it was a fun process to put the thing together, I also got hand painted ceramic mugs and a beautiful chandelier made of Venetian glass for my new apartment and a vintage leather jacket for my difficult to buy for brother. It's rare in today's shopping world that you can say weeks after your visit to a store that you did not make a single purchase you regret, or have any qualms about the business you chose to support. This is the family own shopwho supports family owned Italian businesses and I couldn't be happier to have chosen my Christmas gifts here. read more

Never there, don't call back, incompetent. This has happened frequently. They run this the way a5-year old would. Closed often, with no explanation and never change phone message to reflect that.

Went during business hours and arrived to a "be back in 10" sign. At first it was no problem, but once I hit the 30 minute mark I left. Have been planning this trip for a while as it's not very convenient to my home. Feels inconsiderate and unprofessional. read more

there's no listing price on their charm bracelets until you finish it and it's wayyy too expensive and they overcharge you . the closing clasp alone is $22 . i paid almost $80 and i only got 5 charms . you can honestly make your own at home with amazon charms . do not recommend read more

Such a fun store! Will def be coming back! One of those stores where every item is absolutely fabulous and unique! Sara was so helpful!!!

Came with my best friend to make charm necklaces and we had the best time!! I think what we loved most about this store was Gloria, the girl who was working that day! Omg she's an angel, so kind. We actually missed her when we left! lol All the charms were so cute and the store was so unique; we loved looking around at everything it had to offer because all the items there were absolutely insane (in the best way possible). Our necklaces came out SOOOO gooood!!! I'm bringing all my friends back no doubt. P.S. Gloria if you see this we thought you were the best and want to be your friends!!! (: read more

I never leave bad reviews but i am frustrated. I saw this place on tiktok and thought it was super cute so i decided to go and make a bracelet. The pricing was a little misleading and i didn't realize it was going to be $80 until i had already spent over an hour finding the charms and putting it together (having them put it together for you was an extra $40). I wouldn't be upset about the price, but it is such bad quality jewelry.. 1st it basically started to tarnish after 1 wear AND i coated it in clear nail polish to try to prolong the gold plating. 2nd the little lever that opens the clasp to put the bracelet on broke off after a week. 3rd the charms started falling off which I admit could be from how put them on, but 4th when i tried to reattach the charm the chain itself broke!! The only reason this place gets 2 stars instead of 1 is because the workers were very sweet and helpful :/ read more

We have purchased 2 chandeliers from Cottage Industry on separate occasions, and both were delivered in impeccable shape.

I had to file a small claims court case against cottage industry. Because two years ago he sold me a crooked and broken chandelier and would not let me return it, or I just wanted it fixed. And he refused. So I Then presented my case to my Visa card. And they found him guilty and refunded me my money. I dropped the small claims court case because my visa reimbursed me. Now after a year he has filed a small claims court against me because I have not returned his chandelier. Discriminating against me. And I am under no obligation to return the chandelier. Never shop there. He has no customer service no courteousness no nothing. He should not be selling anything. read more

This little shop on the upscale Fillmore corridor in Pacific Heights is like the Treasure Hunter meets Garage Sale Annie. Never has the word "eclectic", that passé word of the 90's, been so apropos here in the Teens. We could invoke the current trendy word, Artisanal, and it would fit because the ART IS ANAL here, seeing how they are packed to the gills with eclectic artifacts like Hitler hiding treasures from the Monument Men. Whether the ANAL is rooted in your base chakra, or in some obscure African fertility icon, it is here in some shape, form, or texture. African idols, dolls, spirit carvings? Check! Ornate Italian crystal chandeliers? Check! Metal Siamese buddha statuettes? Check! The owner has been traveling the world since they were 16, and must have shipped everything they could grab their hands on from the local cultures back into this store. So after almost 3 decades, you can find fascinating nick nacks, bric-a-brac, souvenirs (not yours, theirs) of all sorts. The merchandising and display ambiance is lacking, but only because this place would make a pack rat claustrophobic. But it is NOT for you Bargain Betty types. Nosiree Bob! Some items in here (actually many) are in the hundreds, nay, thousands. Not sure if you can bargain like a new immigrant at a garage sale and haggle the price down, but maybe the old chip-the-item-when-nobody's-looking-and-say-it-is-damaged trick works here like at the garage sales? I don't think it does, because the owner pays others to work here. They get paid by the hour, not by negotiating the profit made on obscure but vaguely familiar, absconded artifacts from Djibouti, Myanmar and Piemonte. And they are still traveling the world looking for more eclectic, artisanal artifacts to ship back to this Pacific Heights store. read more

I love walking by here during the day (usually when I can't stop to shop) to eye the latest accessories and furniture in the window, or just get a glance at the store. Cottage Industry is like my day's therapy session; maybe it's the incense and really calm vibe... It's gently lit with lamps and natural light, and has fun(ky), artsy stuff to decorate/furnish your person/home. I'm usually plastered to the jewelry display, but if you look around, they have unique beads, accessories, fragrance, burnables, fabrics, etc. from around the globe (the owner handpicks these items on his travels). It's the antique version of Aumakua down the street with a down to earth feel. The store is its own world, esp with the rest of Fillmore... I always like the service --helpful and honest when you ask; don't force you into buying-- and they'll resize rings for you if it's not perfect. Even if I don't shop, I always leave feeling warm and happy :) read more
