We couldn’t help but fall in love last week. Not only with the incredible city of San Francisco, but also with the little gem of a shop called Al’s Attire in North Beach, which made us feel all warm and swoony inside.
Filled with incredible custom-tailored men’s and women’s clothing—and even shoes and hats—we found ourselves lusting over bolts of fabric, stacks of hat boxes, vintage spats, and these incredible shoes that would have so perfectly matched a certain copywriter’s ever-popular Purple Rain coat.
*Sigh.*
Coming home, we’ve continued talking about the amazing things we wanted to bring home from Al’s. And just to put us back in our dreamy stupor, Patrick stumbled across some great YouTube clips that reminded us just how lovely Al’s Attire is.
We were smitten with all of the great fabric and buttons, and vintage-inspire hats, and the custom footwear that left us practically speechless. Still, it doesn’t beat the real thing, so do yourself a favor and drop by next time you’re in San Francisco. Rumor has it, you might just bump into Tom Waits.
