TSG San Francisco Preview… Elizabeth Charles

 

 

We are so excited about the release of our San Francisco guide… set to hit the streets just after Labor Day.

Today we offer you a sneak peek into the book by featuring one of the designers in it, Elizabeth Charles.

 

 

Elizabeth Charles, originally a Management Consultant in Capital Markets, was transfered from Australia to the US with her company 17 years ago. The World Trade Center disaster, a re-assesment of what’s important, and a love for fashion were the impetus to doing something that she loved and that didn’t feel like work.  Her first store, opened in NY’s West Village was her test case, that was an instant hit with stylish down-town locals. From there she opened a second store in Pacific Heights, San Francsico in 2007 to target an underserved but discerning market (featured in TSG SF!). Most recently she opened in Westcliff Drive, Newport Beach in 2012 to bring unique products to affluent, yet fashion-starved clientele.  Carrying a highly edited collection of chic items that are ahead of the trends and aren’t available everywhere is Elizabeth’s secret to success.

Being the first to introduce her clients to under-ground labels and up-and-coming designers before they become mainstream is what fuels her quest to become the best store in the US.

TSG SF has scouted the best of San Francisco and Elizabeth Charles is certainly one. Visit her store in Pacific Heights or find her online: http://elizabeth-charles.com/

Be on the lookout for the amazing TSG San Francisco. You will be blown away by the images of the people of SF and their talents shown in this guide.

A TSG Update

Hi all you loyal followers,

We are so thrilled to give you an update on where we stand with The Scout Guide. When we started The Scout Guide here in Charlottesville, VA, we thought it would remain forever a local guidebook meant for the locals of Cville and those coming to our lovely town.

But soon, people started begging us to bring The Scout Guide to their town. To Aspen, Omaha, Washington D.C., Denver and Naples, just to name a few.

So we took the leap of faith and began to work on The Scout Guide all over the country. We are happy to announce we have books on the ground in seven cities: Charlottesville, Charleston, Charlotte, Alexandria, Aspen, Dallas and now Birmingham.

With many, many more to come. (San Francisco, Greenwich, Hunt Country Virginia, New Orleans, Richmond, Nashville, Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill… to see the full list, click here!)

As of this week, our Dallas and Birmingham books will be on the ground in those cities. Look for them everywhere! And follow the Dallas blog. We’ll let you know when the Birmingham part of our site is up and running!
