Now Accepting Applications: Vagabond, May 5th & 6th!

Woohoo! It’s almost Vagabond time again!

The next Vagabond Indie Craft Fair will be held at Urban Bazaar on May 5th & 6th, noon-7pm.

We are accepting applications through March 25th. You can apply here, as well as get all the nifty details about the event.

We’re always on the lookout for fun “extras” too, like someone who wants to sell baked goods out in front of the shop to get people in the door, massage therapists who want to do free 5 min. massages to promote their business, crafty demos & 10 min. workshops people can partake in, and anything else you can come up with! Know an acoustic band who wants to play? If you have any ideas about something you’d like to do that’s not just selling your arts & crafts as a vendor, please email us at UrbanBazaarSF@gmail.com!

What will you be selling at Vagabond? limited edition fine fabric goods: luxurious reversible napkins, a variety of aprons in delectable patterns, sassy yoga bags and distinctive coffee sleeves.

What are your greatest inspirations?  I believe everyone should have beautiful and durable goods to use in their everyday life. I look for fabrics and colors that want to sing and do my best to give them voice.

When and where did you learn your craft? I have been sewing since I was a little girl. On my desk I have a stuffed golden lion that I designed and created as a child. I put cloves inside to make it smell good and it still makes me smile.

What makes your product stand out? The beautiful fabric and fun pattern combinations are an important element of all of my work but I think the attention to detail and care I put into each piece makes them really stand out.

Any other interesting tidbits you’d like to mention? I love everything I make and I hope you do, too!
