Hot new Stuff for You!

Lure Earrings: Post Modern Hook, Feather and Fur

      Pairing traditional techniques with post modern style, Cameron Kelly and Joshua Olivera compose ‘companion’ earrings for the consummate aesthete. Carefully crafted FLIES are hand tied, using traditional techniques originated from salmon & steelhead Fly Fishing. First documented in 1496 by English nun, Dame Juliana Berners, ‘Treatyse on Fyshing with an Angle’ describes fly fishing as the pursuit of a balanced fulfillment life.
     The art of fly & tackle craft has evolved like everything with new materials but traditional patterns and techniques are still prevalent today, rendering a beautiful object meant to withstand rivers and streams for many years.
     Combined elements of oxidized copper chains, tusk-like shells and vintage brass finds make up these one-of-kind single earrings with double hooks for a little extra swag;) You can mix and match or pair one with something you already own!








Brand New In Store!
Idiom Shirts




LONELY SALESMAN SAMPLE POCKET from the 1970's ARE UNITED WITH RESCUED THRIFT STORE FINDS and embroidered WITH PLAYFUL IDIOMS TO INSPIRE HOPE FOR WHAT LIES AHEAD. We've swapped the standard plastic buttons out for my AUNT HAZEL’S VINTAGE BUTTONS to make it extra special and ONE OF A KIND. Made with loving care.

What a whirlwind the past couple weeks have been! We've worked SO hard and poured our hearts out into this store really making it Our special place, something that sipmly Is simply all of us..Love and collective consiousness, to be recognized and appreciated in us All, connecting minds through identifying and curating what we believe is relevent and beautiful in a way you may not have recognized it otherwise. Thanks so much to all those that had a hand in in helping to make the Grand Opening on friday one of the most memorable nights of my our life, seriously it's all been a dream come true.
Whether it's the love of an old Neil Young record, a card that says "I Hella Love You Like Crazy", or Anything that basically looks and feels Right, and provokes new, expanding thoughts when presented in a way you haven't seen before...we're almost positive you'll find Something you like down at our store, even if it's just a place to feel at home, browse around, hear some music and get warm for a minute before or after a good meal. Please visit Old Oakland this holiday season and spend local at some of the amazing resturants cafe's and Shops in the popuphood down here by 9th and Broadway!
