San Francisco Independent Fashion
Stone Pony, 3552 20th St., San Francisco
In the window at Stone Pony: illuminated crystals surround carpet bags and 70′s trade-ins at the Mission’s newest storefront. Wander inside to find $4 aprons, $12 dresses and a large unicorn mural made especially for the store. Stone Pony is so new Google Maps hasn’t even picked it up yet, but have no fear–the tiny boutique with shimmering gold doors lies on 20th St. between Valencia and Mission.

For those of you who, like us, are just a little bit obsessed with vintage finds, this is a good week to be free in the evenings in San Francisco. Here are two shopping events worth checking out:
After spotting the vintage Lagerfeld bag above while perusing a sneak peek of the items on offer at tonight’s All Vintage Everything Part Deux event from DNA and TheSFStyle, we were even more intrigued than we usually are by the opportunity to snag wearables with a unique sense of history. Should you find yourself similarly smitten, the evening promises apparel and accessories from etsy vintage dealers, including Goodbye Heart and Lost Feather Vintage, as well as contemporary apparel and accessories from emerging designers. Stop by on the early side for complimentary appetizers from Reaction Restaurant (6-7 pm) and free blowouts from Blow salon, available on a first-come, first-served basis until 8 pm. And for you camera hams, dress to impress: the SFStyle will be snapping pics for their popular San Francisco streetstyle blog. All Vintage Everything Part Deux, Tues. 6-9:30 p.m., SUB-Mission Gallery, 2183 Mission St., SF.
On Thursday night (you know, the night your holiday weekend really begins), venture to the private residence of Fashion Slave founder Kim C. for a summer sale featuring Daisy’s Vintage day dresses, accessories and sunglasses. Those on a budget, take note: dresses are just $15 a piece, so even if you have to alter one a little bit for the perfect fit (as is often the case with vintage apparel), it’s still a great deal. Along with the frocks, there will be a selection of vintage sunglasses frames fitted with new lenses priced at $40. You may have seen them featured earlier in the year on SF Indie Fashion or at Collective boutique in the Mission. Daisy’s Vintage Sale, Thu. 6:30-10 p.m., 448 14th St., SF.

Looking to spice up your style without overpowering your wallet? Then we’d suggest making a dash for Saffron Rare Threads and checking out a sale five years in the making. October 15th marks the fifth anniversary of this San Francisco clothing line’s debut, and to celebrate, the bulk of Saffron Rare Threads’ easy-going apparel for women is on sale.
What’s more, both the label’s online shop (use discount code weare5) and the design collective boutique Studio 3579 – where designer Priya Saraswati shares space with designers Joy Opfer of Joy O Designs and Mike Stone of Indie Industries – are offering an additional 50 percent off your second Saffron Rare Threads purchase. And here’s an added kick: the sale runs now through November 1st.
Stop by 499 Dolores Street (at 18th St.) and see for yourself.
