This Los Angeles Boutique Is A Great Place To Shop For The Antique Lover On Your List
It’s a hidden gem.
Just like everything else this year, the winter holiday season is definitely sneaking up on us all, making rushed last-minute shopping inevitable. However, instead of going the online route, those in the Los Angeles area should know there is a true treasure trove of boutiques and independently owned shops at your disposal. From the hipster hills of Los Feliz to the minimalist suburbs of Thousand Oaks and all the neighborhoods in between, there’s a local store to support and grab a unique find for everyone on your gifting list.
If you’re at a loss at where to start your holiday hunt, keep it simple and look no further than your neighborhood. East Siders have chic shops like Counter-Space and vintage mecca Fashionphile while West Side dwellers can shop fashion hotspot Capitol and Scandi paradise Huset. Oh, and if you’re in the Valley, no sweat — the new MP James showroom-shop hybrid will keep your interest through the holiday months, no problem.
