RAG Co-op

RAG Co-op, (Residents Apparel Gallery) is an SF cooperative clothing boutique with great eco-style.

I met with Manager Misty Rose and Art Director Jennifer Bair last week as they prepare, on behalf of RAG, to host the Craft and Couture Runway Show for the upcoming YBCA’s Independent Fashion Festival this weekend. For more info, visit:

A certified Green business, RAG not only incorporates sustainability into their business practices (using recycled paper, energy efficient lighting, composting and more since opening in 2002) , they also feature local designers, many of whom use eco-fabrics and local manufacturing in their designs.

With over 50 designers currently taking advantage of the ability to rent space within the shop, RAG has created a truly unique space for up and coming designers to showcase their work. It also creates a constantly changing inventory and smorgasbord of different apparel and accessories for us eco-loving shoppers. With reasonable prices to boot – I picked up this beauty – a hemp sweatshirt by Funk Divine for $88..

Swing by for some great eco-finds of your own:
