Urban Mercantile is the brainchild of Bradley Dean Burch, your typical frustrated-with-the-corporate-world [slash] former urban slave. After earning his stripes as an art director, the liaison between designers and clients, he left his cushy career for something radically different: developing relations between designers and clients. In that, he parlays his understanding of the artisit’s abililities, the parameters of production, and the demands of the consumer to bring products with integrity to the marketplace. Urban Mercantile is one of San Francisco’s most unique purveyors of sublime and refined household goods. We’ve recently teamed up with Cole Valley’s retail anchor, egg. We rely on local talent and small manufacturers to make up the bounty of our well edited collection of essentials for your home. You’ll find in our store and on our web site some the best that can be bought without breaking the bank. We specialize in sumptuous linens for bed and bath, and comforting textiles for dining, decorating, and decompressing. We stock a variety of ceramics and glass, perfect for the collector and flower arranger or gift giver extraordinaire, and anyone who believes that when serving a meal the presentation is as important as the preparation. And for the paper lover in pursuit of purity and clarity of design, we offer an unmatched selection of cards and paper products. Not to be forgotten, we feature great art, craft, and photography. We strive to compile and curate exceptional works in all manner of media. Visit us at the bricks and mortar or the point and click and you’ll be surprised and delighted. Your home, if walls could talk, will thank you.
