urban mercantile

i always think it’s funny when i find a store’s online presence and realize i am either super close to their actual retail store, or have been there before. this week i discovered urban mercantile and then realized, i’m so stupid, it’s in san francisco and i was just there! oh well…they have a great online presence so you can get all the goods via their website.

urban mercantile carries a great collection of pillows, ceramics, textiles and generally cool homewares. i’m a total pillow addict, so i was immediately drawn to their silkscreened pillow collection. lots of great patterns to choose from (and not too too expensive).

urban mercantile’s ceramics and glass collection is elegant and modern, although the glass selection is a bit above my price range (ok, way above it).

if you don’t have the time to skim, here’s the cream of the crop: the entire pillow collection and whitney smith’s pomegranate vases. enjoy!

I’m hoping you will have them in a category to click by cities for easy reference, no? Just a wish/ suggestion from an avid reader.

sorry, this takes up all my time as is. if this was my job i might have time to add more features, but as this is just my hobby i don’t have the time to re-do the site.

you can search for city names in the search bar though. that way you can see which stores are in your area. it’s pretty helpful.

oops, that was not a real serious request by the way. Actually just complementing the loads and loads of cool stuff you have here everyday.
