Los Feliz, Los Angeles Shopping Guide

A map some of the coolest independent shops in Los Feliz, Los Angeles.

Blue Rooster Art Supplies

You're an artist for Christ's sake. You can't go to some corporate mega-chain to buy your supplies. You should go to Blue Rooster Art. They have oils in a ridiculous number of...

Camille Hudson

A small store in an unlikely location, Camille Hudson displays about fifty pairs of shoes on metal rods that stick out of the walls--a gallery for shoes if you will. However, this is not a gallery...

Carol Young | Undesigned

The conceptual never looked as comfortable than at Carol Young. The line was born from the concept of creating clothing for the "urban nomad." Sleek, modern but with touches of femininity...

Show

We've walked through many a 10,000 sq. ft modern design stores and found nothing we wanted or, for that matter, could afford. Then there are stores like Show, where in a couple hundred square...

Skylight Books

Skylight Books knows its neighborhood and its city. In the bohemian Los Feliz neighborhood of LA the independent shop is heavy on books on art, film, LA History (even if some consider LA History to...

Soap Plant/Wacko

Soap Plant/Wacko is the only kind of art gallery fit for La-La Land. Sure there are a few demure rooms of hardwood-floored, white-walled gallery space. But that is among a huge store of...

Some Odd Rubies

Some Odd Rubies concerns itself mainly with diamonds in the rough. The shop scours the country for promising vintage fashions and transforms them into modern garments. While the bold prints and...

Squaresville

In the world of the vintage store, there are generally three categories: the ever-elusive treasure chest, the ubiquitous punks-shop-here and the sweat-of-the-brow store. For the last, if you work...

Steinberg & Sons

Look at all hip, funky dressed people in the neighborhood. Then go to Steinberg & Sons to see where they buy their clothes. For men: cool T-shirts, comfortable pants, button down shirts with...

White Trash Charms

Go for the trashy charms, stay for the not so trashy clothing. White Trash Charms' jewelry is trashy in the sense that it embraces pop culture references and logos--Playboy, the '80s,...

Blue Rooster Art Supplies

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ca/los_angeles/blue_rooster_1_web.jpg

You're an artist for Christ's sake. You can't go to some corporate mega-chain to buy your supplies. You should go to Blue Rooster Art. They have oils in a ridiculous number of colors, canvases, charcoal and everything else an aspiring artist could need. And you can rest assured knowing your art has not helped The Man in any way.

Camille Hudson

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ca/los_angeles/camille_hudson_1_web.jpg

A small store in an unlikely location, Camille Hudson displays about fifty pairs of shoes on metal rods that stick out of the walls--a gallery for shoes if you will. However, this is not a gallery of the unwearable or weird--no pretentious salespeople and no pretentious shoes. Instead, the store has found the exact right mix of the modern and the classic, carrying smaller brands Italian...

Carol Young | Undesigned

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ca/los_angeles/carol_young_1_web.jpg

The conceptual never looked as comfortable than at Carol Young. The line was born from the concept of creating clothing for the "urban nomad." Sleek, modern but with touches of femininity the clothing is made to allow today's urban, active run around and look effortlessly stylish doing it. Many pieces are made from environmentally friendly fabrics to boot. The shop is a much a...

Show

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ca/los_angeles/show_1_web.jpg

We've walked through many a 10,000 sq. ft modern design stores and found nothing we wanted or, for that matter, could afford. Then there are stores like Show, where in a couple hundred square feet you find you want every item and you're surprised that you can afford many of them. The "lifestyle" store is full of musts for a stylish life. It's a vase you need? They...

Skylight Books

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ca/los_angeles/skylight_books_1_web.jpg

Skylight Books knows its neighborhood and its city. In the bohemian Los Feliz neighborhood of LA the independent shop is heavy on books on art, film, LA History (even if some consider LA History to be an oxymoron), and progressive politics.

Soap Plant/Wacko

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ca/los_angeles/soap_plant_wacko_1_web.jpg

Soap Plant/Wacko is the only kind of art gallery fit for La-La Land. Sure there are a few demure rooms of hardwood-floored, white-walled gallery space. But that is among a huge store of schizophrenic randomness. There are long, sprawling shelves full of design, architecture, film and children's books. Then there is a wall of cooky action figures. Funky shower curtains. Pop-barware...

Some Odd Rubies

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ca/los_angeles/some_odd_rubies_1_web.jpg

Some Odd Rubies concerns itself mainly with diamonds in the rough. The shop scours the country for promising vintage fashions and transforms them into modern garments. While the bold prints and colors of the original vintage garments remain, what changes mainly are the silhouettes, fits and finishes to make them more wearable by modern standards. Complementing this centerpiece line are vintage...

In the world of the vintage store, there are generally three categories: the ever-elusive treasure chest, the ubiquitous punks-shop-here and the sweat-of-the-brow store. For the last, if you work hard enough and search long enough you will surely find the one item that will lead to endless compliments and the sweet music of "It's one-of-a-kind, I got it from a vintage store."...

Steinberg & Sons

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ca/los_angeles/steinberg_and_sons_1_web.jpg

Look at all hip, funky dressed people in the neighborhood. Then go to Steinberg & Sons to see where they buy their clothes. For men: cool T-shirts, comfortable pants, button down shirts with bright patterns and hip blazers. For women: adorable dresses, stylish tops, cutesy flats and more.

White Trash Charms

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ca/los_angeles/white_trash_charms_1_web.jpg

Go for the trashy charms, stay for the not so trashy clothing. White Trash Charms' jewelry is trashy in the sense that it embraces pop culture references and logos--Playboy, the '80s, Warhol and skateboarding each get a treatment. This isn't Tiffany's and that's sort of the point. The boutique's well-informed, globally minded clothing collection is perfect...
