What to know about MAC – Modern Appealing Clothing
MAC (Modern Appealing Clothing) is an independent San Francisco designer boutique. Siblings Ben and Chris Ospital founded it in 1980 with their mother, Jeri. It opened downtown near the Tenderloin and moved to Hayes Valley in 2004. Its flagship at 387 Grove Street stocks menswear and womenswear. The focus is on Belgian, Japanese and Parisian designers such as Dries Van Noten, Comme des Garçons and Maison Margiela, alongside local Bay Area talent and artist collaborations. A second store in Dogpatch has since closed.
