Best
of San Francisco Review:
Shopping in
North Beach took an
upswing some years ago
when this little shop
opened its doors. Abitare
is the best gift shop for
boutique items in San
Francisco, Abitare's
owner & creator, Cia
Van Orden, displays her
extensive sense of style
and knowledge with a high
quality, internationally
eclectic variety of
decorative accessories
for the home, bath and
kitchen as well as a
darling collection of
children's toys &
imported soft bears, etc.
Cia also offers  original
paintings & sculpture
by French artist Philippe
Ferrari. Gifts include
figurines and baskets
from Indonesia and
Mexico, service trays,
lavendar soap from
France, beeswax candles,
original candle holders
of cast aluminum, wood
and brass, table napkins
and placemats, table
cloths, glassware, and
decorative bowls. The
selection is varied and
artistic. This is a
convenient shop for gift
giving any time of the
year. When you want to
bring the perfect gift
from San Francisco, you
won't find a better
choice in the City.
Located less than one
block from Washington
Square Park, in walking
distance from Coit Tower,
and central to many fine
restaurants, this is a
perfect stop for both
tourists & residents.
If your already thinking
about Christmas gifts,
shop early! Abitare's
stock goes out of the
store quickly. P.S. Cia
made a buying trip to San
Miguel de Allende this
year and has a brilliant
new collection ready for
the absolute best
Christmas boutique gifts
to be found anywhere.
Stocking stuffers galore
as well as sumptuous
items you'll just have to
have for yourself!
Abitare is the epitome of
what "boutique"
means to the
discriminating shopper..
Gift wrapping, and
shipping worldwide.
