The Renegade Craft Fair–an ever-growing, curated event for DIY-ers and small businesses—came to SF a couple of weekends ago and we had to check it out. We always enjoyed seeing what sorts of inspired products popped up when we would visit in New York (here’s my a post about the last one I went to, in Williamsburg).
Some of my favorite finds this year…
Sycamore Street Press (Letterpress and Design, like beautiful custom stamps—that’s me and Skyler with Eva) / Hero Handmade (Illustration & Screen Printing—great posters for SF fans) / Small Adventure (Illustration & Paper Goods—aesthetic is very Wes Anderson) / Cactus Club (Paper Goods–love the prints!) / Young America Creative (collective design studio—gorgeous Seasonal Eats posters) / Joshu + Vela (totes, backpacks, & wallets) / Martine USA (gorgeous leather accessories—I bought myself a keychain) / Emmiebean (cute custom portraits)
If you recognize any vendors in the photos whose links I missed, let me know! (Update: Alpaca throws at top by Asher Market)
Two of my other favorite sources for independent maker gifts: BRIKA and GREAT.LY. Great shopping options for the holidays!
One of the best parts of the Craft Fair can be the venue. The setting—Fort Mason, with stunning views of the Bay—was particularly beautiful, and maybe the best find of all.
P.S. Skyler and I took the cutest photos at the photo booth, but I can’t find them! Drats! I still love these first ones so much.
