NEW YORK CHICAGO SAN FRAN & LA - and I need homeware store help

[dotsandloops]

Got a mission to accomplish and have packed my red shoes to tap 3 times - this is going to help me when I travel to the US to find Art Gallery and Homeware stores - I want to meet the buyers and discuss a range of hybrid Australian design products that are chewing on the bit to travel and the suitcase is packed.

So - I am currently collating retail lists for 4 cities - NEW YORK, CHICAGO, SAN FRANCESCO, and LA.

The TOP 10 homeware and design stores from each city would be worth 100 taps on my red shoes -

Unreal you little rippas

the two areas i would recommend hitting while you are in san francisco are "the mission" (mostly on valencia between 14th and 20th or so) and "hayes valley" (on hayes street from franklin to laguna).

both of those areas have great homeware and furniture shops if you want to just walk around. there are lots of little places that i just can't remember the names of.
