Made In the Haight is a Certified San Francisco Green Business, a member of SFMade and a team member of SFEtsy. In keeping with my personal priorities, I invest time and energy in my community. I purchase most supplies locally and I shop sustainably for ethically-produced supplies. I also recycle and re-purpose my packaging, using laboratory slide cases and other unique containers that would have
otherwise ended up as landfill. In 2010, I founded Made In the Haight to pay homage to the vibrant, historic San Francisco neighborhood where I work, play and live with my family. I individually hand-craft and design each piece of jewelry I make using an eclectic mix of components, including ribbons I’ve collected from all over the world, Thai mulberry paper, Austrian-made crystals, Ammonite fossils, vintage buttons, glass beads, feathers and other found objects. Each of my designs has a personality all its own, never to be repeated. I carefully assemble each piece by hand, paying attention to every detail such as adding velvet linings for a non-slip grip. My designs are colorful and fun for a flower child, sophisticated and unique for a bohemian mama, and consciously and sustainably hand-made for everyone. My most popular designs are my double-pronged, alligator-style clippies, which are both fun and versatile -- kids and adults can use them to wrap a package, decorate a hat, bag or scarf, and adorn their hair! While each of my pieces are handmade and unique, they are each affordable, most costing between $5-50. Custom designs are available for weddings, performances and other fun, funky functions.
