San Francisco design store and gallery, Rare Device, is proud to present host this season’s coolest shopping experience—the Poketo Pop-up Shop at Rare Device. The pop-up shop will occupy the Rare Device gallery December 4, 2009– January 26, 2010. A kick-off party will be held December 4 from 7-9 pm.

That’s right, folks: Los Angeles based design studio and lifestyle brand Poketo is taking over the gallery at Rare Device for a rare holiday pop-up shop. They’ll be bringing all their goods, from their signature wallets, tees, housewares, stationery and more.

Especially for the event, Poketo is teaming up with San Francisco DJ, artist, and long time Poketo collaborator, Nathalie Roland (http://www.headphonerecord.com/) who will be painting and drawing her magic on the walls of the pop-up shop for the event. Nathalie Roland is most known for her poster art with notable bands like Weezer, Scrabbel, Moggs, Goh Nakamura, The Matinees, and Invisible Cities.

Based in Los Angeles, Poketo is a design studio and lifestyle brand who work in collaboration with international artists to create wallets, clothing, housewares, and accessories. Poketo is art for your everyday! More info at www.poketo.com.
