We in California, and especially in San Francisco, confronted the challenge of covering our faces to help prevent the spread of the virus early on and our personal collection of masks tells the story of our own journey.
In March of 2020, we cooperated with Mayor
London Breed’s precautions first by utilizing scarves, which were still in use as cool weather persisted.
