The San Francisco Shopping Guide to Hayes Valley

One of the buzziest neighborhoods in San Francisco is full of fantastic and fashionable boutiques where you'll find items not available anywhere else.

San Francisco's Hayes Valley neighborhood may have a growing reputation as the home of the brainiacs, but it's already been the home for fashion trendsetters. Being so close to terrific performance venues and great restaurants, it makes sense that the fine folk of Hayes Valley dress to be seen. Visit these local stores and you can be among them!

Maker + Moss

Chic home decor that's also comfortable and functional? That's the aim of Maker + Moss, a home goods retailer that covers everything from dishes to lighting to eye-catching accessories sourced by owner and San Francisco native Matt Bissinger. Moving from affordable candles, frames, and soaps to more expensive full-size furniture and lighting fixtures, Maker + Moss allows you to grab some home accents for yourself (or trendy treats for your friends) while browsing fashionable home decoration setups.
