The Bead Store was the first of its kind in San Francisco, hence the name: THE bead store. It was founded in 1964 in response to the hippy love bead culture of the time...and grew from there. Situated in the heart of the Castro district, The Bead Store has become a friend to the local residents and shop owners. We have long-standing relationships with our neighbors and our community.
