Finally, A Local Source for Fitness Apparel: Angelina SF

In our quest to shop from local, independent sources, basics for everyday activities such as hitting the gym or a yoga class can be among the most difficult items to find. Making that challenge much easier for us these days is Angelina, a fitness apparel label based in San Francisco.

The result of sisters Angelina and Sharon Pacaldo’s combined talents (Angelina is the athlete, while Sharon has the apparel business background), the company offers a full line of active wear, including sports bras, capris, leggings, pants and workout-friendly hoodies and wrap tops.

We’re especially enamored of the Pure Lime Gym Hipsters for their versatile silhouette and the Hard Tail Raglan Sweatshirt, a perfect topper for tossing on before and after workouts (or while you’re lazing around on the weekend thinking about how you should be at the gym).

More San Francisco fashion labels….

    i got really excited until i saw that their only store location is in San Diego.  buying fitted clothing online is a gamble…..if they’re an SF company why not have an SF store? :/

      this is true – the upside of course is that they are based here and have recently started to have trunk shows where you can see the clothing in person. they post their events on their facebook page…

      Hi Amy,

      We are definitely hoping to open a store in SF in the near future.  It worked out this way only because I live in San Diego, but the gravitational pull is always back to SF.  Angelina & I grew up in the Mission and the challenge will be figuring out a great location for us.

      If you like anything on the site, please feel free to contact me directly as I can assist with any fit questions.
