The Renegade Craft Fair is kicking off their 2016 season in San Francisco! Head to Fort Mason Center’s Herbst Pavilion on April 30–May 1 for the world’s largest indie-craft experience.
Haven’t been to RCF before? Think hundreds of modern makers, sweet special features and hands-on workshops, photo booth, DJ, full bar, and tons of tasty food and drink options to sink your teeth into, all weekend long. To prepare for the abundance of awesome that awaits, we’ve rounded up five warm-weather items from vendors we’re excited to meet in person at this year’s Fair. Like what you see? There’s way more where this comes from!

1. Terez Chopsticks from HANK by Henry
You can skip the “Made in China” grocery store chopsticks and dress your tabletop with these handcrafted chopsticks by Portland-based designer and chef collaboration HANK by Henry. Functional and full of personality, these chopsticks are sustainable, locally-made, and free of nasty chemicals. The best part? Their good looks and sturdy build will perfectly complement the flavors and style of your homemade meals.

2. Deni Dress from Osei-duro
We love this linen sheath dress from LA- and Ghana-based design company Osei-duro. It blends a clean aesthetic with traditional wax-resist dyeing techniques for a modern look you won’t find anywhere else. Osei-duro creates sustainable garments that exceed international production standards and support local artisans.

3. Lex Necklace from Alex Steele
There’s nothing like a big, bold necklace over a tank top or tee to signify the arrival of spring. The Lex necklace means business: it’s got braided cotton rope, handpainted beads, and copper tubing. We can’t wait to see what else Alex Steele will have in store, from painted shirts and denim jackets to housewares to art prints.

4. French Macarons from Shades of Sugar Bakeshop
Maybe more colorful than a spring garden (and definitely more tasty), French macarons are just the pop of color we need. Shades of Sugar features these naturally gluten-free gems in tons of flavors, from traditional vanilla and chocolate to tropical hibiscus passionfruit and zippy strawberry peppercorn.

5. Signature Brass Switchback Lamp from Jones County Road
We love this brass desk lamp designed by LA-based company Jones County Road. Appreciators of design will enjoy the timeless aesthetic of the solid brass base and the functionality of the 360-degree swivel head. Perhaps this lamp will inspire late night drafting and crafting at your desk.
