Peg Legs & More!!!

Arrrg! Do ya need an extension for your beard? Sufferin' from sea sickness ya scurvy dog? How 'bout some oil fer that peg leg o' yer's? Well matey I have just the place for ya: 826 Valencia.

Located in San Francisco, this shop was started because a city zoning ordinance required that founder Dave Eggers have a store front for his non-profit tutoring program. He put on his thinking cap (over his captain's hat and bandanna of course) and developed this shop. Seriously, this is the most rad idea he could have come up with. Much better than a junk store or a banana stand. Not only does this place have supplies that can fulfill all of your piratey needs, but also it does so in style. This is some of the best packaging that I have ever seen on pirate supplies (at least in the top 5):



The store has some other supplies for the land lubber on your Christmas list; posters, t-shirts, books, and even designer glass eyes.

(packaging done by the amazing group: Office)
