  • If walking the steep city streets is challenging your footwear, this Noe Valley shop can fit you with a new pair of sturdy, comfortable walking shoes in the very latest style.

  • The Santeria religion is the faith of many Latinos, and this shop caters to their ritualistic and spiritual needs. An array of potions and powders, candles and icons.

  • Without a doubt the premier antiques shop in town, featuring beautiful 18th- to 19th-century European masterworks, and Oriental pieces from as early as the Shang Dynasty (1500 BC). The building itself is also a treat.

  • New shops open on lively Valencia Street almost monthly. This one specializes in Mexican folk art – Talavera pottery, textiles, religious icons, paper goods, and woodcarvings.

  • A fabulous discount clothing boutique for men’s and women’s fashions. Labels include Prada, Gucci, Armani, Ralph Lauren, DKNY, and more – all at reduced prices.

  • As intriguing a selection of African masks and carvings as you’re likely to find, along with incense, candles and powders. Spiritual readings also available.

  • This vast store is a prime example of the discount emporiums up and down the Mission. If it’s trendy running or walking shoes you’re after, this is the place to find them.

  • Tibet Shop

    In business for at least 40 years, it features a wide and colorful selection of merchandise from Tibet, Nepal, and Bhutan – clothing, jewelry, artifacts, art – at very reasonable prices.
