You’ll take credit for the good taste when your giftee thanks you for the gift, but deep down in your heart, you’ll know it was all Vynsie, Jully and Derek Law making you look good. Sifting through the latest design trends from New York to San Francisco to Tokyo, but always most enthused about handmade local stuff, the folks at We Are 1976 keep their shop turning over with a fresh stock of sleek, useful things for the kitchen or office, books and zines, toy cameras and miniature creations for the sophisticated man or woman of the world who still likes to get down and play with little toy guys on their desk. From J-Pop to steampunk, the stock’s always in small batches so you can bet on uncovering something new on each visit. It’s also home to great craft classes and workshops from local designers, plus the best stock of Japanese sodas this side of Garland.
