Paragraph





A treasure trove of fun awaits you at Paragraph, on 9th Ave. in the Inner Sunset.


The small store has well-chosen selections of clothing, jewelry, accessories, and kids’ stuff. Please note the awesome, hilarious cape sported by my son in the picture below. Accessories and jewelry are by local independent designers and are very affordable. Much of the clothing—also affordable—is also locally designed and made, and I especially like that many of the items are made of repurposed fabrics, such as the dress and belt shown here. The dress was about $70, I believe, and it is hot—people take notice when I rock this thing, and I know that no one else has a dress like this.

But I love the kids’ capes. They are, for kids’ “accessories,” a little pricey at $50, but they are very well made, in satin, with felt appliques, and completely lined in a soft, warm fabric. They come in all sorts of styles for boys and girls and make an excellent grandparent indulgence (wink wink). They’re the perfect accessory for going to the comic book shop around the corner on Irving.

Paragraph will definitely make it into my regular rotation, and I’m so glad the owners, Vanessa and Veronica Viray, have had a lot of positive attention and a growing, devoted clientele.
