Indie Industries

I’m really happy to have discovered this place! They carry a good mix of trendy and classic clothing and cute jewelry created by local designers, all at extremely reasonable prices. Their selection is unique, so I can select an outfit with confidence knowing that 20 other people are not going to show up to an event in the same clothes I’m wearing. The staff is approachable and friendly, and they are always running some sort of special discount. One minor issue with them — they seem to run out of smaller sizes quickly. Other than that, though, I love shopping here.

Love the cashier guy John! He helped me so much with my jewelry that I needed for my boyfriend :)

Just south of the busy Broadway/​Columbus intersection on the way to Scientology’s HQ (former Transamerica bldg) I stopped by Indie a few times. Points for style and the small space is bright and neatly arranged if not cramped.
There’s always some sort of gimmicky sale going on, free sunglasses during the summer, etc. Buy one get whatever.
Perennially out of size small but found a nice medium jacket kind of Members Only meets Modern in a cool grey pattern. It shed some key threads and picked up stains like Bounty does. I wouldn’t say it’s the best quality but more like a more independent and cooler version of Forever 21. Doubt items will last more than a season or max two, but that’s fashion for ya.

This place is so awesome and truly a hidden find. I stopped by the one in the Castro on my way to Crossroads. I loved their jewelry and I loved all their clothes! Scored an awesome bracelet and ring for myself and two sets of earring for my best friend’s birthday. They also had great basic tees for under $ 10 and I love love love that most of the stuff is designed by SF or bay area peeps. Clothes for both guys and girls. Totally check it out.
Also, the salesgirl Jen was totally nice and not a botique snob at all. Totally the icing on the cake.

I pick up a random item here from time to time that always seems to generate compliments.
Indie is a designed owned and produced collective that focuses on all things creative. And fun!
Styles rock, prices are fair, lots of items are made in SF and the staff is always super cool!

Love it. Great stuff, great prices (varies from $ 15 -$ 200), and nice staff. On the day we went it the whole store was buy one get the second half off on anything, so we couldn’t pass that up! I hardly ever make it out to the North Beach area, but this store is actually pretty easy to get to so I’ll be back for sure.

This store caught my attention as I was walking back from lunch in North Beach. The store is very clean, organized, has a super friendly staff and has affordable yet hip clothing. I had to hurry out of there before I bought all the store’s jewelry. Prices are very good, especially for San Francisco

«The kids are disco-​dancin, they’re tired of rock and roll
I try to tell them, ‘That drum machine ain’t got no soul’
But they don’t want to listen, they think they heard it all
The trade those guitars in for drum machines and disco balls
We can rewind, now we’ve gone too far
Internet killed the video star»
Welp, this song was in my head for a good 4 hours after coming into Indie Industries today. I like it when a store’s muzak matches the vibe. In this case: RAD.
Eclectic selection of affordable clothing and accessories, all by local designers. Everything in here is very different; costume jewelery with nature motif (think: feather earrings, owl necklaces, delicate and ornate designs.) flattering sweaters, funky sunglasses… even some cocktail dresses!
The selection is casual and urban… yet a lot of the items have the versatility of being dressed up or dressed down; something I look for whenever I shop. I came out with a black cowel neck sweater and large gold wire cuff bracelet with these groovy pink stones. Love it. Also –they currently have a holiday special where you earn a free accessory gift with every $ 25 you spend. So I scored a pair of fresh water pearl earrings and a gold bangle on top of it all! Hallo!
Gentleman: they have threads for you too :)
Indie Industries is a little hidden gem and I would recommend it to all the young folks putzin’ around the area.

Great little store. I just bought my sister a dress that blended casual with classy. The staff is always very friendly and able to help you pick stuff out.
(BTW, check out the hidden Mezzanine for good deals)
Besides the jewelry and clothes, they have some art books and other interesting impulse-buy’s. They had some whiskey rocks a while back that you could freeze and serve your drinks over. How sick is that? I still regret not getting them…

My first time going in here was today. Small cute store, limited selection for men, however if your looking for T-​shirts/​Shirt’s, Im sure you will find something for your style, heck, I found plenty of stuff.
A+ when you reach a spending amount of $ 100, you get a $ 10 credit. it will not expire., you can use it on a return visit.

I walk by every day on my way home from work. Everything is affordable and there are plenty of good finds on the racks. The same guy is always in there when I run in and peak at the selection, he is always friendly and helpful.
My latest purchase was a skirt I had seen in the window for a month. It went on sale at 50% off so I had to buy it. I guess that is one of the upsides about having Indie Industries right smack in the middle of my walk home… I know about their sales immediately.

Cool little boutique along tons of restaurants and strip clubs in North Beach.
Not the biggest selection of goods, but about half of the stuff is homemade (cool, locally handcrafted jewelery, scarves, ties, etc…).
Great deals on cool threads, though. Most of the stuff is about $ 10-​$ 20 cheaper than most other places that carry similar items.
Gotta check out their novelty gifts as well. Cool stickers, mugs, wallets and random chotchkies that’ll make anyone stoked!

A hip little shop that we randomly came across after the Pillow Fight in February, it’s really situated on the border of Chinatown, North Beach, and the Financial District. It’s not far enough up on the hill to be part of Nob Hill.
The space is small but not in that messy/​cluttered/​cramped sort of way. More like neat and cozy? The clothing and accessories [interesting wallets and random pieces of jewelry] for both men and women are at prices that don’t have you leaving the store with your mouth agape from the shock.
I still think about the necklace that I decided not to buy that day. When I’m feeling extra moody, I often bring up the fact that a certain necklace from this store would brighten my day… I’m a girl — what can I say?

The ring I purchased here last week broke. Sad news indeed as I’ve been looking for a thumb ring replacement for months now. I was able to find a pair of jeans that are half off and once I find the courage to fit my asian legs into a pair of skinny jeans, I will wear them out in public.
Their selection of cards that are near the stairs are adorable and if you are the type to spend $ 4-​$ 5 on a card, I encourage you to buy them. Everything in the store is buy one get one half off but good luck finding your size. Worth venturing inside for the deals and the jewelry.

Glad we waited for the store to open, not only did I get to finally try Brioche Bakery next door but I also scored a pair of Fidelity at 50% off!
Besides their sales rack, everything in the store is buy 1 and get the 2^nd one 50% off so go shop with some friends and share the sale discount!
I also got a small beaded purse that is just adorable for a fun night out at $ 11!
Good day for me, bad day for my crazy sis… but as I told the guy — count on me as a repeat customer as I live close by while she is just visiting from another state…

One of the best finds I’ve encountered in awhile. With hip threads and low prices, the only thing stopping me from shopping here all the time is the fact that I live nowhere close by. Also, I think there’s only so many graphic ties I can hope to buy before I’m required to own another Fall Out Boy album.
(I hate Fall Out Boy.)
And I got my first scarf! Like being constantly hugged by a stuffed animal :-)

This is a super bite-​sized version of Urban Outfitters. From the name I wonder if everything is 100% independent? I noticed some t-​shirts from a designer friend of mine being sold there, so they do have some credibility. Sunglasses, ties, t-​shirts, jeans, random accessories, toys, and one lonely backpack. I’m surprised they managed to get an upstairs area into this little place. Currently they have a buy one, get the second item half off deal. The employee who works there is pretty nice.
A nice detour from the street but not worth seeking out.

I came here for the grand opening of the store and was excited about what they had in the store. I am a fan of Mike’s t-​shirts he has the funniest sayings on his t-​shirts. I bought a shirt that had the saying «Nice package» with a UPS guy carting around a bunch of boxes. I also like the buckwheat sheep — I’m still waiting for a re-​print onto a hoodie (hint hint).
This is a cute store with a variety of trendy and cute clothing and accessories. Along the back wall is an arrangement of hats with the coolest designs. There is a display of jewelry and sunglasses that’s worth checking out. A lot of the stuff is hand-​made with Mike’s love. My favorite piece of jewelry is this all white leather band ring with a big flower on top. It’s good quality stuff for a decent price. You can’t go wrong if it’s made or designed by Mike.

I accidentally found this store during my lunch hour this afternoon. There was a rack of clothes outside that had that «small boutique appearance.» I looked at the price and realized they were quite reasonable, so I went inside.
The shop is small, but they have a very nice selection of graphic tees, jeans and accessories. They’re clever and the clothes are made of very soft material for a not too terrible price. The jeans have great stitching patterns on the pockets and everything seems to be really well made.
However, the selection is not the best because everything is so small. I’ve been to stores with a much larger selection and more unique clothes instead of American Apparel style shirts that have been screen-​printed with various designs.
It’s a nice store, but I’ve totally seen better for independent clothing shops. The Toyroom/​Artifacts in Sacramento is much better than this place (and what I wish Indie Industries could be)

The cool shirts on the rack outside caught my eye. I wondered what kind of crap would be on a rack left alone in Berkeley. I sifted through because they were only 5 bucks (tshirts) and I thought to myself… this isn’t crap… actually its legit. There was an organic cotton (i am not one of those organic ppl but organic cotton is sooo much softer for some reason??) shirt with cool birds on them with a cleaver «lets flock» printed. it made me laugh so i bought. Went inside and discovered the store is REALLY cool. I especially liked that there were a lot of guy stuff because i always have the worst time buying things for guys.
Its really small so you can come in look at what they have and not have to spend hours sifting through things. I didn’t realize they were all local artists (i didn’t even know what the store was called until i looked at the receipt) so its nice to know not everyone has what you bought (ala h&m shiver)
