Rags to Riches
The Bite
Department store duds got you feeling more Old Lady in the Shoe than Cinderella? It's time to think outside of big-box retailers. Hit up RAG Co-Op, where over 70 Bay Area designers peddle their locally manufactured wares. Among the organic cotton, bamboo, and repurposed vintage clothes and accessories, you'll find cyclist caps by Chuey Brand - hope we didn't just spoil the surprise for our hipster prince charming - and organic cotton tunics by MarFar for your undeserving evil stepsister. Throw in some reworked vintage jewelry by 19 Moons for yourself, and you may just live happily ever after.
