New Beginnings

Art, Stores No Comments »

Happy New Year!

It has been almost a month since we closed the December Store, our most successful one yet!  Since we opened a year ago we have doubled our business. Congratulations again to Gabriel Colaluca for being the top seller with his recycled jewelry.  Miranda Caroligne came in second with her cozy fleecy hoodies and other various clothing and accessories. Now that we have changed the space back to a photography studio, what will this year hold?

We now have a new president. Go Obama! But our country has been the worst economically.  My hope is that people will still be interested in supporting the li’l guy. Who knows what’s in store but we will be plugging away. We will be updating our website to hold even more merchandise from local designers and artists so keep a look-out.

Oh, and if any of you viewed our Daka Bags and are wondering where to possibly buy them, they are now available at Xapno on Haight street, a very cute boutique!

For those of you who really wanted a leather Purse from Daka, this December we will have More stock to make sure you get a chance to have one.

SF Gallery 143 – Summer Consignment Store!

Stores, Updates No Comments »

So I admit I have been bad the last month or so about posting and keeping everyone updated on new events around the city, but it was all for the love of creating our new SUMMER consignment store with products from all local Designers, Jewelers, and Artists from San Francisco.  

We have a mix of designers from the last December opening as well as 6 or 7 new and wonderfully talented people ranging from painters, clothing designers, and jewelers.

 Some people you may have heard of, such as Miranda Caroligne and the Brown Banana; others are still getting established, such as painter/mixed media artist Bean, and one in particular that just moved to the city a month ago from Minnesota, Nikolas Allen with his line RNG8GRL.

The store will be open from June 8th – June 28th, and if Gregory is willing and able to postpone his photo studio space, we will be open for another week! So come by 143 Fillmore Street and meet the talent this city has to offer!

Designers include: Yahzi Rose, eon on u, Cookie and the Dude, Miranda Caroligne, Daka, A-Liaison, Nikolas Allen, 

Jewelers include: The Brown Banana, Fluidance, Candelas Designs, Dida Jewelry, Tribal Stones, Rachel Jordana Jewelry 

Paintings: by Bean

Photography: by Gregory Bartning  

 

Be sure to check out the website.  If you aren’t in the area, we will be updating more of our store-line to On-line!  All to help these wonderfully talented individuals to keep up their great work and gain more exposure!

 

DAKA ~ The Process

Clothing No Comments »

This week we are featuring Kerstin of DAKA. I had the privilege of getting to know her at the SF Gallery 143 Opening Party in December. I decided her bags were just too cute to not have in our store.

As seen in this photo Kerstin picks some of the softest and creative pattern leathers out there, which are basically in the shape of the animal. The charge is by the square foot, ranging from $3 – $4 something per foot. These leathers are so soft I wanted it as a pillow.

Kerstin then hand draws her own creative designs, such as birds, trees, or dots; she then cuts out sections of the leather. For the current bag she is making the dots represent berries, so this retro pattern looks great for the variety of colors.

She uses grommets for the handles because the leather is soft, this protects it from being ripped.

The handles are usually made with a thick cotton fabric or leather. Even though these two bags as her most popular designs, she also does custom made bags, eye pillows, and coin purses. Kerstin is currently working on designs for wallets that could match the bags. My favorite aspect of her messenger bag is the picture window. You can slide a post card or picture in to change up the design of your choice.
