Living on the Self Edge

Most marketers are not merchants, being a merchant is to be authentic and there is no more tell-telling aroma than the one of authenticity when you walk into a shop.

That was my initial reaction when I walked into Self Edge on Valencia St. in San Francisco, but without even touching one piece of denim, there was already a sense of authenticity through a Japanese lens. Owned by Kiya Babzani (whose personal collection of jeans number over 400) and Demitra Georgopoulous, this denim shop expresses a "passion for denim and its nuances" as only a collector and wearer could.

No detail here is too small including the use of a vintage Union Special China stitching machine to create the proper puckered hem after a washing.

Self-Edge is a love story, an emotional tryst between the owners, denim and Japan.
