The Renegade Craft Fair takes over San Francisco this weekend (November 19 and 20), transforming the city into an exciting market of handcrafted goods, unique holiday gifts and delicious food.
Browse through the variety of hand-made goods at Fort Mason Festival Pavilion and chat with the talented artists behind each perfectly executed product.
Among the many vendors, Mira Blackman stands out with her texture-rich garments designed to minimize fabric waste and honor the material itself. Working with a collective in Uganda that uses 100% organic African cotton, Blackman is also inspired by years of travel and her studies at the College of Alameda.
Curio Wolf, a San Jose-based brand founded by friends with a passion for art and design, joins the roster to sell goods made from textiles and prints inspired by the natural world.
While at the fair, also stop by the Nomad Collection’s stand, a Berkeley-based sustainable art and design company created by artist and feng shui designer Johanna Sprague. Inspired by the “rugged coastal landscapes of New England and Northern California,” Sprague offers home décor products that will add a touch of efficient style to your abode (bonus points: the company is a member of 1% For the Planet and donates funds to the Natural Resources Defense Council regularly).
If you’re looking for organic (and effective!) spa products to use at home, make sure to check out Monastery Made’s offerings. Headed by San Francisco esthetician Athena Hewett, the retail line seeks to offer clients the same experience that Hewett first created in her treatment room: an aromatic journey fueled by health-conscious products.
