In 1958, World Market opened in San Francisco's famed Fisherman's Warf. The store quickly became a destination for those who craved original and handmade items from around the world. Items were sold at cost, plus ten percent - hence the name World Market. More than fifty years later it's still their passion to discover extraordinary finds from all over the world and make them accessible to all. They bring the beauty and excitement of global bazaars to their customers. From Balinese baskets, pottery from Portugal and collectibles from Africa to scrolled artwork inspired by Spanish artifacts - each store is a treasure trove.
