Whatever happened to Manifesto Clothing of San Francisco?
There was a fabulous little shop in Hayes Valley called Manifesto during the late 90s-early00s, run by Sarah Franko and Suzanne Castillo. They sold beautiful, affordable vintage-inspired clothing.
I'm guessing that the rise and fall of the swing dance craze was their downfall. They closed maybe in 2005, and I have yet to find any clothing that I love as much as that which they made.
Long shot here, I know, but - any idea if the Manifesto ladies are, either together or separately, doing business elsewhere or on the web? I'm aware of other vintage-inspired clothing sites but none seem to offer the combination of craftsmanship and affordability that Manifesto did.
