SF Etsy's First Online Holiday Craft Show with Etsy Market

Normally at this time we would be preparing for our 8th Annual Indie Holiday Emporium, but obviously 2020 is not a normal year, and we will not be holding our holiday show in person.

However, we are partnering with Etsy to provide 3 days of Virtual Shopping!

Here’s how it works:
RSVP to this event to get access to our live shopping portal.
Starting November 27th, shoppers will then have the chance to connect with sellers, ask questions and make purchases for the holidays from San Francisco’s local makers.

Pre-shop our Jewelry Makers below:
Join Us!
Friday Nov 27, 9am - 6pm
Saturday Nov 28, 9am - 6pm 
Saturday Nov 29, 9am - 6pm 

The Etsy Market brings its first-ever virtual market experience to The San Francisco Bay Area, November 27th, 28th & 29th

The Etsy Market, a seller-led, Etsy-sponsored initiative connecting shoppers with local sellers in their communities, is coming to The Bay Area, for a first-of-its-kind virtual holiday shopping event on small business weekend Friday, Saturday & Sunday 9am-6pm. Organized by the SF Etsy Team, the shopping event will highlight over 200+ local Etsy sellers, offering shoppers the chance to discover one-of-a-kind items and thoughtful gifts for everyone on their list, from Home Decor to Jewelry and Accessories, Fashion to Self Care, while meeting the makers who bring them to life.

Ahead of the holiday season, at a time when small businesses need support more than ever, Etsy is bringing The Etsy Market to multiple regions across United States this fall, with over 60 events happening worldwide.

Love and Pride

Stonewall Inn, Greenwich Village, New York
​On a hot summer night in New York City in 1969, the modern-day gay rights movement was born at a little neighborhood gay bar in Greenwich Village, called the Stonewall Inn. Back then, it was basically illegal to be gay - police would regularly raid gay bars, arrest the patrons, and post their pictures in local newspapers. This often resulted in being fired from their jobs, ostracized from their families, and further marginalized in society.

During a raid on the night of June 27th, 1969, the gay men, drag queens, transgender women, and lesbians at the Stonewall Inn decided enough is enough - they fought back against the police, and the ensuing rebellion lasted two days - and changed history. Exactly one year later, New York held the first official Gay Pride Week, with a march originating at the Stonewall. Now, all over the world, Gay Pride is celebrated in the month of June to honor the brave men and women who risked it all so we can love freely today.

2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion, and SF Etsy celebrates the fierce, funny, sweet, and queer in our community. Happy Pride, y'all!

Winter Is Coming - IHESF 2018 Makers

11/12/2018

Comments

 
Winter in the Bay Area is nice - yes, it gets dark early, there's a bit of a chill in the air, and if you're lucky you might catch a light flurry of snow at the top of Mt. Tam on just the right day in January - but really, our winters are rather easy. I am originally from NYC, so I know true winter - bundled up in so many layers you can barely move, that singular delight of carefully stepping off a curb onto what you think is a stable layer of ice, only to find that it is, in fact, an ankle deep puddle of slush. While wearing ankle boots. Yeah...East Coast winters are no joke.  Here in Northern CA, we can layer sweaters, rock shorts and legwarmers at will, and still be cute on an evening out in December rather than bundling up in Sorrels and ear warmers. 

Here are a few of my favorite cool and cozy apparel and accessories from the 6th Annual SF Etsy Holiday Emporium, at historic Pier 35, November 24th & 25th. Enjoy! 
Picture
Nous Savons, Anza Borrego Cashmere Robe, $188
Jocelyn Nguyen's Nous Savon cashmere robes are so soft and cozy, they're like a hug from a baby goat. In addition to her sumptuous line of cashmere robes, scarves and blankets, she makes a cool line of minimalist jewelry as well.
Picture
RENNIE, Denim Market Tote, $98
RENNIE Goods are handmade by Roberta Rennie, an FIDM-trained designer. She creates her 100% cotton, Japanese selvedge denim and vegetable tanned leather bags, aprons and accessories while listening to true crime podcasts in her Pacifica, CA studio. 
Picture
Latisha Baker Artworks, Small Crescent Ear Cookies, $48
Considering that Oakland-based artist Latisha Baker creates her signature Ear Cookies while listening to chanting Buddhist monks, it makes sense that her work has a distinct, meditative quality to it.  She creates her pieces in sets of 12, using a unique pyroetching/woodburning technique to achieve her designs.
Picture
Atelier Prélude, The Cashmere Poncho - Kate, $139
Launched on Valentine's Day, 2015 in San Francisco, Atelier Prélude is committed to sourcing the world's softest, natural fabrics with the mission to promote sustainable fashion. Atelier Prelude's collections include versatile, yet beautiful pieces meant to be worn every day, on every occasion, by every woman. 
Picture
Sumsaara, Orange & Birchwood Essence Clutch, $165
An innovative, origami-like design from mother-daughter team Mini Bansal and Jannat Saxena,  the Sumsaara Essence purse opens flat and closes into a clutch purse! They come with a soft, lush cork fabric interior, imported from Portugal. Each purse is hand crafted, locally sourced and made with several vegan, eco-friendly and sustainable materials, hand finished with coconut oil. And what's best of all - a portion of every sale is donation to Save The Elephants charity.
Picture
Bodhi Swag, Malta Turban, $22
Bodhi Swag, the brainchild of sisters Laura Kavanaugh and Nydia Cisneros, brings quality, never quantity, with each of their contemporary, resort, and athleisure collections. In addition to these headwraps, Bodhi Swag makes amazing cocoons, all designed and tailored in CA. 
Picture
Neutral Ground, Brocade Shell and Maxi Skirt, $165
I can't be the only one who is PSYCHED there will be vintage at the Emporium this year! One of our vintage curators is Neutral Ground, the brainchild of Alysha Cassis-Shaw. Alysha began her career at the house of Halston, and in the spring of 2017, her passion for craftsmanship, detail, and a vision to see vintage and pre-loved items reinterpreted gave birth to Neutral Ground. 
Picture
Fresh To Def, Justice Studs, $20
Social justice is always in fashion, and Fresh To Def is on the front line. These laser cut cherry wood post earrings say it all! Fresh to Def Collective is a social enterprise that empowers women + fems of color to step into their entrepreneurial spirit through social justice accessories and business coaching, based in Oakland CA.
Picture
Adelyn SF, Eco Friendly Sweater Top, $88
AdelynSF Collection is based in San Francisco, designed to accentuate the natural curves of the female body, suitable for wearing all-year round. Adelyn strives to select high quality fabrics with stretch for comfort and body movement. All the pieces in their collection are designed and made in San Francisco.
Picture
Cashmere Treats, Knitting Pattern Collection Book, $10
Feeling like making something cozy for yourself?

Maker Spotlight: MorninGloria's

7/24/2018

Comments

 
Picture
I was first introduced to MorninGloria's beaded flower jewelry when we were both vendors at a craft fair in SF. I was immediately struck by all of the color in her display - vibrant blues, rich reds, warm amber - just a gorgeous array of hues that catch the eye. Upon closer inspection, I saw that each piece was intricately beaded, hundreds of tiny glass beads strung and wired together to create MorninGloria's hair accessories, wine glass charms, earrings and necklaces.
Picture
Gloria E. Rubio-Verduzco, owner and designer of MorninGloria's, first started making her beaded artwork in 2005. "I've been excited by beads and jewelry making since I was a little girl, but when I discovered French beaded flowers, I was immediately in love!" Gloria said. " I always loved wearing flowers in my hair, so I began creating beaded flowers to wear to dance classes and special events. Immediately, I began receiving requests from friends and family to make items for them...and so began MorninGloria's."
Picture
The technique Gloria uses to create her beaded flowers and leaves was first developed in the 1500s, and remained a popular folk art form through the Victorian era. Examples of beaded flower bouquets, called Immortelles, as well as decorative brooches, earrings and pendants can be seen in private and museum collections all over the world.

We are excited to have MorninGloria's present her exquisite line of beaded accessories at our first ever Sonoma County Pop Up, at Viansa Winery, 25200 Arnold Drive, Sonoma, CA  Sunday July 29 noon - 5pm.
