Got a soft spot for the 415? Let your local love blossom at Isso SF - as in "is so San Francisco" (see also: Dolores Park, rainbows, and playing "Name That Smell" on the 49). This boutique hawks wearable things made, found, and designed in the Bay Area. Each week, its design team hangs out a new selection of refurbished vintage threads - ranging from classic '50s dresses to edgier '70s mod looks - which avoids adding to the 7% of our landfill space that's clogged by used clothing. Isso's also got its own line of versatile basics (french terry hoodie dress = cozy), which you can wear proudly, if not on your sleeve...

Wanna Try: 

Isso SF, 3789 24th St. Map It (415-920-9149) and 3608 19th St. Map It (415-865-0969). Hoodie Dress, $84; refurbished vintage frock, $52.

Cocktail Fact

Philadelphia's Franklin Institute is famous for its Giant Heart sculpture - a two-story, anatomically accurate, beating heart that visitors can walk through.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 SF Biters recycle their used clothing for a year (donate, sell, consign...) instead of throwing it away, we'll keep 40 semitrucks full of textile waste outta landfills.

There are so many new fashion accessories coming up in the market that its' quiet difficult to choose for the right one. But some brands like louis vuitton belts have their name so much that it just easy to grab their product with no confusion about them.
