CLOTHING, ACCESSORIES
Owner Leah Bershad was once a designer for the Gap, but the folksy jet-set aesthetic here
is the exact opposite of khaki-and-fleece global domination. Well-travelled vintage - em-
broidered peasant blouses, Santa Fe blankets, silver jewelry banged together by Humboldt
hippies - shares shelf space with cult American designs such as Raleigh denim, Majestic
tissue-tees and Claire Vivier envelope clutches.

Nancy Boy
All you closet pomaders and after-sun balmers: wear those products with pride, knowing
they're locally made with plant oils. Clever Nancy Boy knows you'd rather pay for quality
ingredients than cheesy advertising campaigns, and supplies well-priced premium products
tested for effectiveness on boyfriends, never animals.
