Los Angeles: Top 10 Chinatown Boutiques
September 24, 2009
An insatiable craving for Asian eats isn’t the only yearning that gets hipsters through the dragon gates. Chinatown is a constantly expanding fashion/art community featuring some of the city’s most diverse and interesting shopping. Pop-up stores with rotating fresh talents and highly curated concept boutiques all in a neighborhood with firecracker vendors, a wishing well, and the best dim sum to ever hit a pair of chop sticks.
● Choose Chinatown - A whole lot of Swedish pride hidden in Chinatown. This extensive collection of Scandinavian line Cheap Monday makes us happy every day of the week.
● Flock Shop - Risky business fashion for hipsters looking to be noticed, remembered, and coveted while hitting the scene.
● Lion’s Den - Urban kicks for tearing around a piece of ground in your home town.
● Neo Happyland Co. - Asian supermarket superstore where Hollywood kids and Chinatown locals shop till they drop.
● Ooga Booga - A provocative collection of literature, plus art ranging from appalling to cute and high fashion.
● Realm - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Frog Teapot and other obvious necessities.
● Robocon - Japanese art toys, obscure collectibles, and no sign of Robocop.
