Rising Star Laundry

Rising Star Laundry is an independent multi-brand boutique at 858 Cole Street in San Francisco's Cole Valley. Nicole Solano and Brody Nowak opened it in 2024; the two met while working at Unionmade. The shop sells clothing from Europe, Japan and North America, including Arpenteur, Margaret Howell, Mfpen, Yoko Sakamoto, James Coward and Baserange. Its range is mainly menswear but includes unisex and women's pieces. The store avoids e-commerce and focuses on in-person shopping. Its walls also serve as a gallery for rotating shows by local artists.
