Reliquary

Walking into this Hayes Valley boutique just off the main Hayes Street drag is like opening up a trunk sent by your world-traveling, treasure-hunting aunt. The faint smell of exotic incense and perfume (the shop sells both) lingers as you browse antique display cases filled with vintage turquoise jewelry and locally made bohemian necklaces. Racks of vintage and new clothing line the gorgeously painted walls, and on low wooden tables, you can find stacks of finely woven Epice scarves and colorful Clare Vivier clutches. If you’re looking for gifts for the hard-to-impress set, this is where you need to go.
