Gravel & Gold is a Mission District staple for people who want pieces with personality and provenance. The shop curates independent designers and small makers, favoring natural fibers, useful objects, and print-forward styles you won’t see everywhere else. It’s the rare boutique where the tags tell a story—who made it, how it was made, and how to care for it—so you buy better and keep it longer. Come for the signature patterns and stay for the human guidance: fit notes that actually help, honest recommendations, and styling ideas that work in real life.
