We’re convinced that once the word’s out, Density will be a must-see street-wear outpost for fashionable Missionites. With shirts from local favorite Upper Playground, jackets by RVCA, Kasil jeans, and graphic tees by SF-based Free Gold Watch, the assortment is bound to be a fave. After shopping, take a breather playing a round on the shop’s complimentary Ms. Pac-Man arcade game.

Formerly known as Nisa, these Mission District and Noe Valley outposts have gotten a new identity under co-owners Marie Biscarra and Ivy Chan (half of the four-person team behind the now-defunct Nisa). Now called Isso San Francisco, the shops remain devoted to lines designed or made in the Bay Area. Casual gals will score with sporty cotton dresses by She-Bible, hand-drawn graphic tees from Nopal Apparel and wrap-hoodies by Oakland-based Nicacelly.

Oops, she did it again. Heidi Sabelhaus of Heidi Says and Heidi Says Shoes has opened a third store, located between her first and second shops on Fillmore Street.

Look for jeans by 1921 and AG, along with casual tops and bottoms by Ella Moss and cozy sweaters under Heidi Says’ new in-house line of cashmere separates.
