Atlas

I first discovered Atlas at a small denim shop in the Mission called Self-Edge. My boyfriend was trying on a pair of jeans, and I was browsing through the selection of magazines they had on a shelf. I liked the intent behind the magazine—it spotlighted American craft and curio, with the magazine itself being a testament to it.

I recently had the opportunity to contribute to Atlas, interviewing Samovar founder Jesse Jacobs at his newest tea bar location on Valencia Street. We talked about simplicity (and how hard it is), caffeine (and how bad it is), and distractions (and how tea can help overcome them).

You can purchase your own copy of Atlas here, or find a list of stockists here.
