Feeling Right Cheery About Harputs on Geary
If you strolled by Harputs Market recently, as we did, only to spy darkened windows and gasp with fear that one of the best destinations for independent design in the City had disappeared, fear not.

Pop in this week, and you’ll rewarded with 35 percent off everything in the shop, whose racks are hung with men’s and women’s wearables from Harputs Own, Pleasure Principle, Martha Davis, Commes des Garcons and Y-3, among others.
