Backspace

Located in a neighborhood once known for low-income housing and random shootings Backspace joins an influx of boutiques making this one of the cities cooler hoods. Pretty exterior and modern interior boasts NY vibes - dark hardwood floors and white walls – but presents clothes and accessories that are true SF. A homespun spattering of local edgy and emerging designers clothing ranges from what looks like a design school graduate’s first collection to mainstays such as Prairie Underground, Citizens of Humanity and Rich and Skinny. Standout pieces come from local jewelry designer, Venus Superstar, whose feathered jewelry is one-of-a-kind spiritual goodness. Friendly staff and dog mascot create a cozy atmosphere for local neighborhood shoppers.
