Los Angeles Shopping

Search » By Category  » Reviews

Sprawling Los Angeles defies easy shopping categorization, yet be assured that options abound for virtually any taste ... from classic splendor to ever-so-trendy or undeniably tacky. Beverly Hills’ Rodeo Drive, especially between Wilshire and Santa Monica boulevards, ranks among leading shopping promenades worldwide with the likes of Armani, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Bijan, the latter by appointment only for $15,000 men’s suits and $50 socks. On Burton Way, Beverly Hills’ Lily et Cie, widely regarded as the nation’s premier vintage clothing shop, sparkles with Galanos gowns, Channel cocktail suits, and Judith Leiber bags. On Hollywood Boulevard, Fredericks of Hollywood’s original store stands out with bra enhancers, loads of marabou-embellished negligees and mules, merry widows, garter belts, and other provocations showcased out front, with a Lingerie Museum in back.

As a veritable pop culture supermarket, Soap Plant Wacko / La Luz de Jesus Gallery, featuring Bill Bored’s Artitorium, stocks Last Supper lunch boxes, hula dancer lamps, bowling bag purses, and printed works, from I Was a Teenage Dominatrix, Apocalypse Culture, and the Book of Subgenius to children’s tomes like The Holes In Your Nose. Dalmation’s Fire House on Temple Street stocks official Los Angeles Fire Department merchandise, with all proceeds assisting widows, orphans and disabled firefighters. Historic Olivera Street with redbrick walks features cafes and vendor stalls for Mexican goods, leathers, blankets, and candles. Anchored by Nordstrom, Farmers’ Market and the Grove, dating to 1935 on Third Street at Fairfax Avenue, has dozens of eateries and shops, with a trolley shuttling between the two.

San Fernando Valley’s indoor, tri-level Glendale Galleria, near three freeways and anchored by Nordstrom, Macy’s, Mervyn’s, JCPenney, and Robinsons-May, has more than 200 retailers including the Disney Store and babyGap. Beverly Center, on Beverly Boulevard, features 160 specialty boutiques and stores including Bloomingdale’s and Macy’s, plus Grand Lux Cafe. The Downtown Disney District, between Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure theme parks, beckons with malls and marketplaces. Hollywood & Highland Center, with the renowned Kodak Theatre, Renaissance Hollywood Hotel, and more than 60 specialty shops, also touts a prime view of the icon Hollywood sign.
