Dog Patch SF

“Nolan” Four-Foot Dog Leash

$25.00

Used climbing ropes are remade into dog leashes for Ryan Dempsey’s company Dog Patch SF. Climbers donate the (retired, though still robust and useable) ropes to the brand’s Ropes for Rescues Recycling Program, and they’re transformed into practical, sturdy leashes. Each climber also selects an animal rescue service or shelter to donate a portion of the proceeds. Every leash comes with a backstory, like this neon green “Nolan” iteration, which was mostly used in Joshua Tree National Park and will result in a donation to San Francisco Animal Care and Control.

Steff Eleoff

DRIP Single Earring

$120.00

The sculptural nature of Steff Eleoff’s lovely jewelry makes sense when considering the Toronto native spent time in NYC doing a Masters in fine arts. Partly inspired by nature and architecture, her pieces are show-stoppers—especially her gooey, liquid-looking 2021 collection. From that range, the DRIP single earring, handmade from sterling silver, appears to be almost fluid; dribbling from the wearer’s earlobe. Futuristic with a tinge of Y2K, her pieces can be worn individually or mismatched.

OG Room Spray

$20.00

This concoction is comprised of all-natural, non-toxic essential oils and boasts subtle notes of sweet orange and black pepper with a layer of Virginia cedar. Delightful and light, the room spray (which comes in an eight-ounce bottle) is also colorless, so it won’t stain fabrics.

“No Sun” Record

$25.00

Nite Jewel‘s first new album since Real High four years ago, No Sun is rooted in grief and catharsis—both personal and collective. In 2018, LA-based singer, songwriter and producer Nite Jewel (aka Ramona Gonzalez) began her PhD in Musicology and also found herself dealing with the breakdown of her 12-year marriage and creative partnership. In her studies at UCLA, she focused on women’s laments throughout music history—something that takes the album to meaningful, oftentimes arresting, places. Written using just a Moog sequencer and keyboard, No Sun blends synthpop with R&B and beyond, all buoyed by the artist’s featherweight vocals.
