Shop Girl
ARCH, Potrero Hill
A designer-friend of mine introduced me to this art supply store a couple of years ago, and I’ve been going out of my way to shop here ever since. (It helps that there’s a free parking lot once I do make the trip over.)
Although ARCH stocks a good selection of technical pens, parallel rulers, Spirolls and such, you don’t have to be a designer or architect to appreciate this place. There are plenty of things that the average person can covet: stylish organizational items for the office (such as binders and magazine holders); papers and envelopes; lovely bath and body products; letterpressed cards from the likes of Hello Lucky and Snow & Graham; and plenty of cute gift items. I’ve picked up vases, stuffed animals, books, wrapping paper, craft supplies and so many random knick-knacks at ARCH. I can never walk out of the store empty-handed!
The next time you’re on the hunt for gifts, be sure to add ARCH to your list of shopping destinations. On top of the exceptional variety of goods, you’re sure to receive helpful and friendly service, too.
