Hide and Peek

Peek Clothing Store

You take your chai spicy. Your play, seriously. And your kids everywhere.

San Francisco’s own junior fashion label Peek knows your pain. The store is packed with sophisticated yet tumble-worthy togs, alongside toys, accessories, and books (with plenty of cozy reading nooks) under one roof.

Take home embroidered kurtas; Liberty-printed frocks; and sturdy, stylish dungarees. It’s hard not to fall for nostalgia bombs like Minnetonka mocs and infant-size railroad pants. The tour de force? A boys’ collection that’s as fun as the girls’, with World Cup track jackets and conversation-stirring tees starring landmark Supreme Court cases.

It’s bound to pique your interest.

Not to mention theirs.

Peek, The Village at Corte Madera, 1618 Redwood Highway, Corte Madera (415-945-0100 or peekarentyoucurious.com).
