The Perish Trust

Does anyone know a way to contact this company? Wanted to confirm they had a Juniper Ridge product I wanted to purchase before I drove from San Rafael for it. My email sent from their contact list elicited zero response and they apparently have no phone. Sad… looks like a good place.

When do I move in?
Perish Trust is full of curiosities worth the visit to Divisadero for and even more for those with a predilection for a woodsman-​inspired life. From furnishings suitable for a Ron Swanson forest cabin to delicate ceramic cups — I just want it all. Bring your pennies and if you’re travelling from afar make a deal with yourself to only buy one thing.

Really cool décor, a little pricey, hard to tell what exactly is for sale and what isn’t. Whoever runs/​owns/​decorates the shop has a great eye. I did not find anything that I absolutely had to purchase, but I would definitely swing back through for inspiration.

Interesting interior design concepts. Plenty of items to give a room identity or for creating a thoughtful space. Ready for your imagination or if you seek the piece to complete an idea. Keep this place in mind.

Beard grooming products — tick.
Gourmet food items — tick.
Expensive clothes that are made to look like you don’t care about fashion– tick.
Random pieces of vintage furniture — tick.
Indie soundtrack — tick.
I want to despise places like this, but secretly I love them and can’t not buy something to add to my ever growing collection of hipster accesories and house hold items.

Well, the business has changed since my last review in 2008. We came back to our old neighborhood for a date and decided to stop by. Yeah, we don’t live in SF anymore and we probably had «Southbay» written all over us but man… what snotty service. They could not be bothered to look up and greet us. However the 20-​something tourists they were friendly towards. Even when we purchased something they acted like it was a big f*ing inconvenience. This place has a few nice things, but def not the unique curio style it used to. If Upscale Midwest/​Wisconsin Lake Cabin is your vibe, look no further. This tragically hip vintage inspired Ralph Lauren/​LLBean boutique is sure to be the place you can find artisanal pine soap and an overpriced Pendleton.

The most beautifully-​curated store in this fine city. Unique gifts you won’t find anywhere else, and friendly staff. I love window-​shopping this place as much as buying.

This is my kind of store.
An ode to everything rustic-​ly vintage with a sprinkle of classic San Francisco — this is my kind of store.
From 70’s Pendleton blankets, to old typewriters, and charming cabin style accents throughout — this is my kind of store.
From Vetiver crooning throughout the place and the lovely personable staff that float around this magical space — this is my kind of store.
From the dim lighting, and large comfortable chairs — made for deep lounging — this is my kind of store.
Full of stories, history, and carefully curated charm — this is my kind of store.
Trust.

What a great neighborhood gem of a store. Such a wonderful collection of one-​of-​a-​kind items. Lovely selection of eclectic pieces.
I always check out other reviews before I write my own, one review mentioned how no sales people addressed her when she came in. I actually like it when no one bothers me while I’m browsing! Especially a store of this cozy size.
When I did have a question, it was easy enough to flag down the person at the desk AND she was extremely helpful. Even when I was looking at something that was completely out of my reach.
P.S.
Past reviews also mention some Warby Parker store in back. No such thing any more. Pity that blemished previous reviews of this great little shop and affected their star rating.

I bought a vintage ring from here. The staff had told me that it was from the 1970s and was made of sterling silver and had a turquoise stone. I paid about 90 bucks, considering you can get beautiful, unique vintage jewelry from Reliquary for about the same price, it seemed reasonable for such a similar piece.
When my boyfriend, who has a lot of experience with industrial materials, took a look at the stone, he showed me it was not only NOT turquoise as they had told me, it wasn’t even a stone. It was PLASTIC. I’m not sure it is even silver. I feel ripped off.
The sales staff were totally lovely and sweet. I think they are being fed incorrect information, probably from the buyer/​owner who just wants to make a profit, but that doesn’t really make up for not just a poor practice for a business, but an unethical business. I will not shop here again. Don’t trust the Parish!

I went here to try on the Warby Parker glasses.
Let me warn you– there’s horrible lighting inside and its cramped where the glasses are so you have to be patient and wait for your turn to search for glasses. After choosing frames, i’d definitely suggest ordering them for the home try-​on so you can see what they look like in different lighting. The girl working there was nice and allowed me to go outside with the frames to see how the colors looked in natural light.

I stopped in here originally because of the Warby Parker showroom in the back, but had trouble making it back due to the wonderful treasures lining my path. Saw two adorable embossed cards that I had to go back for later and many interesting books. As a native studies enthusiast, I was super impressed with many of the items and texts they had for sale (like sweetgrass coils and Pendleton blanket pouches) and was also excited to see excellent housing books like Shelter by Lloyd Kahn. There were some really gorgeous backpacks and bags that I had to pry myself away from, as well as really cool seemingly handmade mugs. I thought the staff was friendly enough and I would absolutely come back here to see what awesome things they rotate in next time.

Warby Parker sells inexpensive eyeglasses online and they have a show room on Divisadero where you can try on their full line. This is a great idea and I am glad I could do this. However, it is located in the back of another store full of highly curated garage sale junk nobody cares about. The junk takes up 95% of the area so if you want to see the glasses you have to cram into this tiny space in the back of the store, with a million other people who are there for the eyeglasses too. Not only that but the curators of the crap have the lighting turned down really low like it is somehow cooler than cool. This is totally not functional and you can’t really see what the glasses look like aside from the vague shape on your face. You can’t see the color for sure. Udder stupidity all in the name of style.

5 stars for the name of this eclectic store of gifts, decorative objects and unique accessories for artsy interiors. One feels as if one stepped back in time to an old curiosity shop. The saleswoman is friendly and helpful.
In the back corner of the store is the Warby Parker eyeglass frames popup. The selection of lovely designs is large. The frames appear quite delicate. One tries on the frames and then orders them online. For every pair of glasses they sell, they provide a pair to someone in need. Innovative, positive business model.

The curation of product here is unbelievable. A nice place to shop and take a look.
However, while we were walking this very small store for about 5 minutes, neither of us where greeted by the 3 people working there. Are you kidding me? Also, one of the people working there physically blocked me from looking at something, and also I heard her bitching about something.
These people are probably new to retail, but I will give them a huge 5 stars for buying merchandise that is unique, interesting, and on trend. Their buying and merchandising is top-​notch.
Their customer service and pricing is another thing. The pricing was ridiculous. Attitude + Cool Goods (does not) = high prices.
These comments are purelyy for the store, not the Warby Parker showcase inside.

The girl/​lady at the Warby Parker glasses couldn’t be bothered with me. No smile, no sign of life in this dead girl just collecting her minimum wage. And the WP glasses, well, this is no show room, and most of the glasses looked the same in this cramped nook.
WP offers more on the web site. Additionally, they are all made in CHINA. Look out as I am sure if you break them you can kiss them good bye. Also, they don’t offer progressives for reading. I’d rather pay double for get customer service with glasses that will be repaired when needed.

Visited the Perish Trust to try on Warby Parker frames in person.
The sales associates were great in recommending frames that fit your facial structure, but it’s probably better if you have a couple friends to come with you to help you decide on a good pair of frames.

I really like this place as a great hands-​on Warby Parker experience. The people are helpful, there are tons of frames and you get a very small WP discount if you try on glasses there.
But I don’t understand the rest of the store. I’ve been going there on and off for the past year and I feel like I see exactly the same stuff in the store every time. Maybe I’m just not paying close attention to details – it all seems like old typewriters and antique letters.
Still, it’s a pretty cool place.

Yes, I was drawn to the Warby Parker show room after virtually trying on pairs on the website.
While the display is kinda tight, it’s totally fine when fellow four eye folks cooperate and let one another try on the same frames :) The sales associate was very helpful, suggesting that I take a look with the glasses in the outdoor sun– which made a huge difference! Lastly, he wrote down the model, color, and the $ 5 coupon code. With my high index lenses, the complete set of glasses cost $ 120.
Do bring a trusted friend/​relative to help decide which frames flatter, since this isn’t a Lenscrafters that staffs a half dozen optical technicians with expert advice :)

This little nook is sort-​of a nostalgic time capsule. Beautiful (mostly decorative) antique typewriters everywhere, and a showroom for Warby Parker eyewear.
Warby Parker provides beautiful vintage-​inspired frames and lenses at a very cheap price. They do a «Tom’s» sort of initiative, the one-​for-​one purchase. You get glasses, and a pair is donated to charity. The showroom in the back, quaint and to-​the-​point, has a lot of different pairs to try on (by appointment).
I got my glasses after an appointment there this summer, take a peek at my profile picture to get an idea.
