Laku

Oh, Baby!

Hats off to Designer,

Yaeko Yamashita 

and her delightful shop, 

Laku.

 Laku

I had the pleasure of visiting Laku 

last Christmas Eve when I was in San Francisco.

The moment I walked in,

I knew I was in a magical place!  

Laku is a whimsical boutique 

where every nook and cranny is filled
with one delight after another!

Besides their magnificent hand-made hats, gloves, scarves, slippers and brooches, 

they carry a wonderful array of vintage jewelry
and antique buttons. 

 I could have spent hours there,

 meandering around...

just like a kid in a candy store!

 Hats & Gloves

I grew up in the end of the era when wearing hats and gloves
 to the city were a must.  

I think it's high time we bring back that tradition and 

Laku's luxurious cashmere gloves could do just that.  

They are scrumptious and the reason I sought out the
Laku boutique.

A year or so ago, while shopping with my knitting friend Daniella in the California wine country we stumbled upon the prettiest hand-made cashmere gloves.  Daniella purchased a pair for her daughter, and the nice clerk told us that they were hand-made by a designer in San Francisco.

So, I did a bit of research and found the designer, 

Yaeko Yamashita 

and her lovely store, Laku. 

I'm so glad I found Laku and can't wait to go back.  

If you're visiting the city,
this is the place to treat yourself to a pair of gloves,
a hat, a brooch or

 a delightful hand-made gift
for a friend or loved one.
