I stumbled upon Fibers of Being after a meal nearby. When I walked in, a brunette greeted me, and eventually asked if I needed any help or if I was looking for something specific. I could tell she was genuinely interested in helping me, and though I declined, it felt SO NICE and refreshing to experience that level of service again. There were some adorable shirts and jewelry pieces that were super cute. Also had some fun lifestyle items (cards). I'd say the style is more laid back and low key trendy. While I didn't buy anything that day, I'd go back! It's a great addition to the area and I'm hoping they stick around!

The shop has an excellent variety of jewelry and styles among their other offerings. I usually go for more bohemian or tribal style earrings, but the chandelier earrings I picked caught the light so beautifully I decided to go with them. My travel companion decided to buy me another pair of earrings that I'd looked at that were out of my price range and unlike anything I've really seen before (the photo doesn't do the colors justice). The shopkeeper was a lovely man who told us a bit about the history of the store, and I highly recommend going in to browse.

There is a reason the shop is open only by appointment: Mr. Yahid gives highly focused individual attention to each of his clients. He loves clothes, and loves the process of matching the right garmet to the needs of his client, in use, style, and perfect fit. He gives each client something very hard to find these days: complete attention. Mr. Yahid's decades of experience has produced deep and long-standing relationships with some of the best fabric mills in the world, and his expert eye will make the process of suggesting the right item very enjoyable. It's perfectly fine if you have a vision of what you want; he wants to hear it. But if you can, let him drive a bit: he will suggest items you may not have thought of, and very often they will be new directions for a look you have not considered, but which will expand your fashion horizons in satisfying ways. If you don't like it, you can always take it off, and he'll have learned something about your tastes. Mr. Yahid is also an expert fitter. Your clothes will be altered perfectly, and in a mannaer that permits re-alterations if your body changes in the future. The best way to get started with Mr. Yahid is to text him directly at (415) 509-4698. He will respond quickly. I've shopped with Mr. Yahid for many years, and will be returning again and again. For those interested in enjoying the best experience of buying excellent menswear, building a relationship with this kind, charming and passionate clothier is more than worth the time.

I wandered into this little boutique while my brother was getting his eyebrows threaded next door,…read moreand somehow walked out with one of my favorite memories. The moment I stepped inside, I felt the magic of the place. I'd never seen a shop like this with every piece feeling like it had a soul. I collect artistic cards, so of course I gravitated straight toward the displays and picked one out. Important detail: I hate carrying purses. So my cards and cash live chaotically in my pockets. Reckless? Yes. Will do ? Also yes. So when I go to pull out my debit card, my ID shot out like it had somewhere better to be and slipped perfectly under this massive bookcase. I knelt down to assess the situation--an inch-wide slot leading into a dark abyss. Purse: 1. Me: 0. I briefly told the employee what happened explaining why I was all of a sudden on all fours face to face with the ground, completely expecting maybe a shrug. But Instead, he immediately started removing items, trying to shift the entire bookcase, going above and beyond to retrieve my ID. But it was quickly apparent the it was mission impossible to which I fully accepted. But his pure kindness and concern really touched me and we just quickly started talking about the story behind the boutique. Amazing story, and I ended up buying a handmade cup after the fact. And I'd love to say their kindness inspired me to buy a cup, but let's be honest: I bought it because I felt guilty. (...Though I had been eyeing it before my ID made its dramatic escape so I really did want it). Now that cup sits on my bookcase, and every time I see it, I think of how what could've been a gloomy experience turned into one of my sweetest little memories. And yes, I know I'm making this sound more dramatic than it probably was. But 1) you'd remember this shop too if you stepped foot inside, and 2) I do have a history of unintentionally disturbing the peace in small shops, to which my guilt makes it mandatory to make a purchase, only for those "guilt purchases" to become some of my most treasured things.

It's a tiny place but there's a lot of beautiful handmade items in there! They have a wide variety of gifts including paintings, ceramics, clothes, ornaments, jewelry, note cards, and more. Everything is made by folks with developmental disabilities and they have little write-ups about the artists featured. I wasn't planning on getting anything but I ended up walking out with a bowl and notecards for myself and a little baby onesie for my friend's baby. The store attendant was super sweet and helpful in explaining more about the products and the artists.

Alrighty, well go ahead and google it right now and tell me what you find. I'll wait. Hi, welcome back. Find anything interesting? Maybe. Probably not nearly as cool as the stuff they sell at Utility Goods, though. Ryan, founder, owner, and certified cool dude handpicks every item he sells in his shop and they are all above-and-beyond quality. One of the first times I walked into his store, I asked him about the knives he had on display. Ryan told me literally EVERYTHING about it, and I am not using literally ironically. The grip, the material, the guys who produce it, which one he likes the most and why which one he thinks I should get and why... You can tell he loves all the things he sells. Which isn't hard to do because everything is SO rad. Just to be clear-- most, if not all, of the stuff in this store can be gifted to women as well. Like whiskey? Indestructible wool blankets? Awesome hand-printed cards? Chocolate? Neat, you'd like this store. There's something for everyone, and Ryan did a fantastic job of hand selecting quality, unique, and personal items for the store. I bought a gift (This sweet hand-blown whiskey glass that has a raised topographic impression of HALF DOME!!!) for a fellow manfriend and I'm giving it to him today. I'm excited to give it to him! 11/10 will always go here for gifts. UPDATE: When I gave him the glass he said "it was the nicest gift he had ever received" so there you have it, ladies and gentlemen (:
