All Vintage Everything drew vintage shoppers to the Mission.

New Generation Vintage had a full collections of bags, shoes, jewelry, clothing on sale for the evening.

At the recent All Vintage Everything pop-up shop from DNA (designers+artists), shopping and vintage fans turned up at the Sub-Mission Gallery for the clothes, shoes, bags and jewelry from a roster of vendor hosted by local favorites Fancy Fine and Mousevox Vintage.

The Sub-Mission Gallery’s discreet, unsuspecting location was the perfect setting for the pop-up of 10 different Bay Area vendors selling a treasure trove of items.

I bee-lined past the bar in front for the racks and, while perusing one stocked with designer labels and then venturing to other vendor tables, I found a huge assortment of affordable, hand-picked thrifted sundresses, blouses, silk trousers and more.

The sweet selection of goods is no accident.

DNA founders, Myra Joloya & Lirany Vasquez explained:

“We love vintage clothing, and we curate each pop-up shop to host vendors that we are familiar with and like. San Francisco is a hub for some of the best vintage. This shop makes it easier for people to afford designer brands and recycle clothing.”

Didn’t make it this time around? The creative collective organizes four, seasonal pop-up shops a year: one for fall, winter, spring and summer. Stay up to date by visiting the DNA facebook page and continue on for more shots from the night:

There was no shortage of leather bags and gorgeous hats at this pop-up.

Clothing and accessories varied in price from well-thrifted steals to designer gems such as this black and red Moschino blazer.

Even better: find your perfect color in person during Valentine’s Day Trunk Show & Moving Sale at Rare Device this weekend.

A reason to love the Super Bowl, even if the chance to drink excessively and yell at guys in uniform doesn’t appeal: the y&i Super Bowl Sale. It’s on for Sunday (and the rest of the weekend, too) and means merch with prices starting at $10.
