Renegade is perhaps the largest showcase of craft and design spanning 12 major cities across the U.S. and U.K. The fair will be here this month with a barrage of lovely handmade goods from independent makers, as well as DIY workshops, local food vendors, seasonal cocktails, and DJ sets. This event will also include the debut of SF Design Milk Spotlight displaying work from one noteworthy designer. For this winter tour, Renegade has partnered with CERF+ to help raise funds to affected creators from the NorCal fires as well as Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria.
