The Haight & Hayes Valley


Enter the well-traveled wardrobe of Leah Bershad, a former Gap designer whose folksy jet-set aesthetic is SF's antidote to khaki-and-fleece global domination. Hand-crafted and vintage items – peasant blouses, hand-knitted ponchos, silver jewelry banged together by Humboldt hippies – share the spotlight with cult-brand finds like Black Crane overalls, Rachel Comey mules and DS Durga's enticing unisex scents (Cowboy Grass, mmm).
