The Do List: SF Fashion Events Nov. 21-27

November 21, 2011 By Leave a Comment

It’s the week of our absolute favorite holiday of the year. Things will be quieter in San Francisco fashion land until we’ve gorged ourselves on Thursday, but then there’s much to do. You’ll find us blurbing a few of our favorite events here and complete details, as always, on the SF Indie Fashion Calendar.

  • First things first, enjoy cooking and baking and sitting and eating and talking and drinking and laughing and bitching and napping and cleaning and drinking and eating and giving thanks with your family and friends on Thursday.
  • On Friday, be ready for a deluge of San Francisco Black Friday sales, trunk shows and events. We’ll be rounding up the best of ‘em featuring local, independent sources in the next few days. Stay tuned for that.
  • The following day brings Small Business Saturday, a kind of antidote to Black Friday big box madness. We’ll be featuring a little something special on this nationwide initiative sponsored by American Express later in the week. But for now, know it’s the day to celebrate all those amazing small businesses that make our City so grand.
  • The same day, Molte Cose and Bella Cose owner Teresa Nittolo hosts a Holiday Bazaar and Fundraiser for Firehouse 8, an historic landmark building project that she’s been working on for months and months. The event offers a chance to shop from local artisans and designers such as Kathleen van der Spek, Lotta’s Bakery and Blue Ribbon Salvage and support the revitalization of a beautiful old San Francisco building into a new, multifunctional shopping and event space.
  • In Hayes Valley at Welcome Stranger, pop in on Saturday for the Mayfourtheenth Trunk Show and get an eyeful of this local sunglasses line’s latest styles while chatting with designer Benjamin Belsky.
  • All weekend, a reason to head slightly east comes with the year’s final installment of Treasure Island Flea. A holiday toy drive adds a feel-good element to the outdoor event filled with local vendors, designers and artisans. Bring a toy to donate to kids in need, and you’ll get in for free (reg. admission is $3). Other perks: parking is free, and the event is super kid- and dog-friendly.

You can find details on all of these events and more happening this week on the SF Indie Fashion Calendar.

So Many Black Friday, Cyber Monday Shopping Deals

November 27, 2009 By Leave a Comment

vagabond-bagWe almost (almost) took the day off, but so many Black Friday shopping deals and Cyber Monday offers kept popping up from local, indie-minded designers and boutique owners that we knew we had to post. We’re going to keep it brief (we’ll be back in full swing early next week), but we just couldn’t keep the deals to ourselves:

AliceandIsa.com is offering a slew of deals through Monday. We are smitten with so much on the site. Like bags by 49 Square Miles and jewelry by Ach Ach Liebling.

Nooworks is offering $15 t-shirts and 30 percent off everything else all weekend.

Tedda Hughes is having a big ‘ole happy hour and sale today in Russian Hill. We clucked about it earlier in the week.

Vagabond is offering 35 percent off all merch and free shipping (free delivery to your home for San Francisco residents) with the discount code Vagabond.

HomeRoom sent out the discount code 10Q. It’ll get you 30 percent off purchases made today and an extra t-shirt (specify your size in the comments section).

Tobi is offering 25 percent off all regularly priced items through Monday at midnight with the coupon code CHEERFUL25.

For more, perhaps the most comprehensive round up of San Francisco Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping deals can be found on the 7×7 Glamwatch blog (where SF Indie Fashion’s Lorraine is a regular contributor). We’d recommend checking out the Black Friday San Francisco Shopping Guide and the Cyber Monday Deals features for more discounts and promotions than you’ll know what to do with.

Petal to the Metal: Make Believe at Tedda Hughes

Resin roses meet chunky gold chain in the neckpieces and brooches of Sydney-based and Tokyo-influenced design duo Make Believe, whose work we hear is now exclusively available in the good ‘ole US of A at Russian Hill boutique Tedda Hughes.

At upwards of $250 a pop, these adornments aren’t cheap, but their intricate construction and 80′s rapper-meets-Harajuku Lolita ethos make us stop and stare – in a good way.

No shrinking violets here.

Another place you’ll find nary a shrinking violet? At Tedda Hughes on Friday, where a Black Friday sale and happy hour begins unraveling itself circa noon-o-clock.

Won’t you join?

The detes are below:

Shoe In: Accessories in Action Black Friday Benefit

November 24, 2009 By 1 Comment

accessories-in-action-event

How many pairs of unused shoes do you have kicking it in your closet? According to the fine folks behind this Friday’s Accessories in Action event at 111 Minna, Americans have some 1.5 billion unwanted pairs gathering dust in their homes.

A better place for them? With Soles4Souls, a non-profit organization that recycled secondhand shoes by giving them to people in need.

Bring a pair with you to this 21+ shopping fundraiser as you make the retail rounds on Black Friday, and you’ll get in the door for less ($5 instead of $8). Perhaps even more spectacular, we hear nothing at the event costs more than $100. On offer will be accessories from jewelry and bags to hats and belts, all by local independent designers.

More upcoming fashion events…
