Girl, Redefined

Minor Clothing for Girls

She’s a city lass. She’ll want to look the part.

Dress her in sophisticated, sustainably produced threads from Minor. A labor of love from local designer Marjorie Tan, the new line weaves deconstructed vintage clothing and organic fabrics into easy pieces for girls ages 1 to 6.

The Olivia top is made from yesterday’s men’s shirts, the Cozy leggings from recycled cashmere knits. Everything is made in San Francisco.

Our faves for a double-header day (cafe stop plus playground) are the Twinkle Tee and Jasmine pants, cut to make scaling monkey bars a cinch. The subtle palette (mostly neutrals and metallics) will throw the spotlight back onto your colorful kid.

So she can hold forth in style.

Available at Secession Art & Design, 3361 Mission Street (415-279-3058); online at minorcollection.com.
