Shop-Salt, San Diego

Mexico is just 20 miles south of San Diego, but the country's aesthetic is even closer at Shop-Salt. That's because the shop is filled with modern Mexican jewelry and home-decor items handpicked by co-owners and lifelong friends Analina and Veronica, both of whom grew up in Tijuana. Lorena Gaxiola's housewares—which include 24k-gold-plated flatware with owl details and bedding sets in vivid hues and bold prints—make up much of the shop's offerings. However, the inventory continues to expand with original artwork from Mely Barragán and Gloria Muriel and Lucia Macarena clutches and jewelry.
