Specialty Retail That Makes an Impact
Supporting San Francisco museums and local vendors through financial donations, brand awareness, and store product offering.
In just the first two months of operation, Love From USA donated over $2,400 to San Francisco–based museums. This donation helps to advance their missions and enrich the local community.
Celebrating San Francisco’s Cultural Institutions
Through The Bay Collection, we spotlight the architecture and iconic design elements of our museum partners. A signature column wrap installation draws inspiration from the unique structures and motifs that define these institutions.
To build brand awareness for San Francisco area museums, The Bay Collection features a signature column wrap. This wrap is inspired by the distinctive architecture and motifs of its museum partners.
Our Museum Partners:
The design draws from the California Academy of Sciences’ trellis structure. This structure was created by Renzo Piano Building Workshop, and its innovative “living roof,". It highlights SFMOMA’s prominent oculus and striking exterior architecture and incorporates the Asian Art Museum’s iconic façade pillars. The artwork references the De Young Museum’s architecture and the Legion of Honor’s grand entrance. These two museums make up the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Together, we celebrate and amplify awareness of these remarkable cultural institutions built to enrich and inspire our community.
Supporting Local Vendors
The Bay Collection also champions the local artisan ecosystem by featuring products designed and created by California artists and makers. Our retail offerings give travelers the opportunity to discover and support authentic, locally made goods.
We proudly partner with Flânerie Jewelry, Jessica Gastan, Peter and June, Sosie Design, Terra Glassworks, I Heart Eyewear, and more.
By investing in regional talent, we strengthen small businesses and celebrate the creativity that defines California.
