General Info

Although the majority of business in the LA Fashion District is dedicated to wholesale business, retail shopping is a vital part of the District's landscape. The LA Fashion District is a bargain hunter's paradise, with over 1,000 stores that sell to the general public at wholesale discounted prices. Shoppers can expect to find bargains of 30% to 70% off of retail prices on apparel and accessories for the entire family, plus textiles and flowers.

Retail stores in the Fashion District are independent, not brand name or chain stores that you will find in a typical shopping mall.

Most of the stores sell to both wholesale and retail, and on Saturdays, many wholesale-only stores will sell to the general public. Shopping in the LA Fashion District is a unique experience, whether you're checking out the festival-like atmosphere of Santee Alley, or finding the latest trends at a fraction of the retail price - retail shoppers of the LA Fashion District enjoy an out-of-the-ordinary shopping experience in the backdrop of the creative center of the fashion industry.
