A San Francisco store and clothing label keeps it all local, all the time.
Never mind a child—it takes a village to raise a store. At least, that’s true of San Francisco’s D-Structure. The shop is a testament to the Bay Area’s streetwear scene, repping local lines Exact-Science, Free Gold Watch, Gold Coin, and Rebel 8, alongside their in-house labels D-Structure and Dirty Six. Located at the historic corner of Haight and Fillmore—where upscale salons and stores meet gunshots and medical marijuana clinics—D-Structure is a prime hangout spot for local skaters, sneaker fiends, and fly ladies, whose familiar faces can be seen modeling clothes for the company’s online shop.
D-Structure supports the local art and graffiti scenes, holding monthly gallery shows and channeling S.F.’s chilled-out street styles into its casual pieces. “Our art-driven apparel is really our bread and butter, and we wouldn’t have it any other way,” says owner Azikiwee Anderson. With exotic herbs wafting in the breeze, iced coffee in hand, and the new Hieroglyphics record bumping on the stereo, Anderson tells us a bit more about D-Structure’s favorite in-store items.
