The Garage

Local Artists? Fun upcycled gifts? Great people? Awesome space?
Yes, please!
Love this store. My one stop gift shop in Marin.
Check out their monthly shindigs for music and nibbles!

Headlines read: Old gas station becomes art crafts guild that is heralded as one of the top 100 retail destinations in San Francisco area.
From smart and crisp letterpress cardart to witty fine art photographs of old cameras to vintage clothing to the most awesome and one-​of-​a-​kind jewelry that you will find anywhere.
Created by some genius artists who understand marketing and have a great eye for combining art and nature and old and new, The Garage will be a destination for me on every trip to the area.
I bought some beautiful jewelry — rings and necklaces — for myself and as gifts for a beach gathering with old friends.
Glad I stopped in to The Garage and already looking forward to future explorations.

What is the Garage? High quality crafts made by skilled artisans for reasonable prices? Yep. Antiquey finds and unique designs? That too…
I’ve been loving on their repaired and restored vintage clothing rack, with hand made skirts using retro fabric and the myriad of other neato little finds that are tucked away in this homage to localness and all things «re» (recycled, restored, repaired, remade, etc.)
Not to mention that the Garage is also dog friendly and people friendly (they actually say hi and give you a nice vibe when you walk in-​a social grace that seems to have escaped many of the other storekeepers in Fairfax these days.)
Also love the little gardeny nook patio in front, making the space seem particularly welcome, open and inviting.
And-​as if all of the above is not enough, they have a flea market once a month featuring artfully curated stalls, home baked goods, live music and most wonderfully, adoptable animals from Milo.
Just heard they are going to start offering swing dancing on Saturday nights with a live band! Whoohoo!
There are clearly brilliant and creative minds behind the Garage and I can’t wait to see what they come up with next!
