This is a very refreshingly cute local designer co-op boutique. Lots of unique and special items designed by locals! Check out the review on SF Indie Fashion featuring guest designer (me!).

A must visit for all you shoppers out there; menswear by Estrella Tadeo, baby cloths, awesome jewelry by Colleen Mauer designs, lots of women's wear designers, and much more.
I love this little mecca. It's full of unique, awesome creations, locally designed and crafted, in the shape of clothing, hair accessories, jewelry, handbags, etc. They also sell some very cool makeup and skincare products that are supplied by JuvEssentials, which is right next door.
How wonderful to find this tiny nifty place full of creative and interesting collections by hip SF designers. I am stoked because I can actually afford to shop here and the people are not stuck up. It feels good to support local designers. Check it out!

I'm actually writing a review for Colleen Mauer Design and didn't know where else to post it. Her jewelry is incredible! (and can be purchased at The Mission Statement) I've bought a necklace, earrings, and rings from her. Not only is her jewelry fantastic, she, herself is a kind soul and a true artist. She usually has a kiosk at the Fillmore Jazz Festival and North Beach Festival. If you go to her website, www.ColleenMauerDesign... (I think), you will see some of her creations----some are edgy, some are classic, all are beautiful...
The implosion of Porcelynne Desiger Collective brought several of its most talented designers to The Mission Statement. Look for the Culture Consumer label for sexy, handmade screenprints.

What an inspiration to have so many beautiful designs collected in one shop. Walking in is a sensual delight. These people are truly artists.
There is something for everyone and everything is HOT: screenprinted tops and sweatshirts, sustainable/recovered fabrics, suits, dresses, mens, accessories (scarves, belts, bags, headbands) and do not miss Vanessa's jewelry. I've scored great clothes from Culture Consumer line, Estrella Tadeo line, and FunkDivine. Great place to develop and get in touch with your style, because each artist contributes such unique and beautiful visions, and you will often get to meet and talk to the artist personally, and they are SO DOWN to Earth. Their prices honor the quality and individuality of the pieces as well. If you are looking for affordable creations that you have actually have a relationship with, if you want to be connected to something bigger than the mass-produced, homogenized clothing system, or if you just want to look HOT, go here!
the mission statement. is a cooperatively owned and operated boutique carrying everything you need from baby clothes, mens and womens clothes, jewelry, accessories, cosmetics, and even lighting. We offer custom clothing, jewelry, and alterations, as well as style consultations. With all of the diversity and quality customer service, you may never step foot in a chain store ever again.
my friend and i totally stumbled upon the mission statement after parking just outside of it last night! what a cute store full of local artists. the woman that was working there told me that its a co-op for local artists and merchants, which makes it even cooler. i bought 2 very cute baby tees as a gift, and a hat for me!

Ok. I'm not a "fashion" guy. I don't pretend to be. But here's my story, because the Mission Statement is just that cool.
Back at Porcelynne, there once was an awesome reconstructed blazer. Oh, how I wanted it, but could not justify the money. Then, in a flash, Porcelynne and my blazer was gone. Alas.
Lo and Behold! I was walking down 19th street, and what did I see in the window? MY blazer! What was it doing here?
Answer: the amazing designer, Estrella Tadeo, had opened up shop at the Mission Statement, and gave me a second chance at glory. There was no other time but then to capitalize.
Estrella was in the store when I walked in, and was happy to do the tailoring on the jacket herself, at a very reasonable cost. Absolutely perfect.
Go here. You'll look pretty. That's all you need to know.
I stumbled upon this cute 'lil store on my way home from brunch on Sunday afternoon. It quickly became one of my new neighborhood faves. The two women working were extremely helpful and told me all about thier new co-op venture. Apparently, a bunch of SF designers collaborated to open this new collective boutique. Everything on their racks and shelves in made in SF! How can you not love that?! To boot, the stuff is really well-designed and decently priced. The store really had a nice aesthetic too. So, let's welcome the mission statement to the neighborhood; I know that I am thrilled that you are here!
