The Lucky Los Angeles Store Directory

Los Angeles

Henry Beguelin

The beautifully crafted handbags are suspended by rope at this earthy-feeling spot. With their super-supple, richly tanned leathers and unusual closures (nuggets of wood), the totes here perfectly embody a cool rich-hippie sensibility. There are only a handful of Henry Beguelin shops in the U.S., which makes the pieces feel all the more one-of-a-kind.

Hillary Rush

With a grandmother who founded Montreal's Fraid's department store and a father who created Le Tigre, Hillary Rush has retail in her blood. A former advertising director for Gap, Rush opened her hugely popular shop in 2005, mixing Iro, Coven, and Tila March.


8222 W. Third St., 323-852-0088

HLNR

Everything about HLNR is futuristic, from the Transformer-style robots in the windows to its green execution (the building is solar-powered and constructed from renewable materials, and many of the pieces are eco-friendly). The enterprise also gets high marks for its airily stocked shelves dotted with unique avant-garde items from labels like Preen, Current/Elliott, Pencey, and Humanoid.


474 N. Robertson Blvd., 310-652-0064

Ige

Helene Ige designed not only many of the items for sale at this quietly low-key duplex but also the shop itself. It's filled with little displays of gorgeous pieces: her own mobiles styled after Victorian birdcages, Marion Cage jewelry, and Klein Reid ceramics.


7382 Beverly Blvd., 323-939-2788, igedesign.com

Inago

Though it resembles nothing more than a wood-walled yoga studio, Inago in fact exists to answer the call of partygoers across the city by stocking pretty much nothing but dresses—hundreds and hundreds of them. There are versions from an expansive list of labels: patterned wrap numbers from Issa, silk halters from Mara Hoffman, and jewel-studded caftans from Binetti. Most are tagged at $200 or less.


8364 W. Third St., 323-653-1888

James Perse

This always-excellent resource for super-soft T-shirts and tanks has its roots in Los Angeles, though there are now 13 stores across the country (including seven in California). A calm and low-key vibe prevails.


357 N. Canon Dr., 310-776-7100; plus other locations, jamesperse.com

J.Crew

The sale racks at the Grove's J.Crew are always loaded with the items you would have happily paid full price for—perhaps because it has the widest selection of the entire deeply covetable collection here.


189 The Grove Dr., 323-939-1070, jcrew.com

Jenni Kayne

We love this sleek West Hollywood flagship for showcasing L.A. native Jenni Kayne's breezy yet sophisticated clothes.

614 N. Almont Dr., 310-860-0123, jennikayne.com

Jigsaw London

This British High Street chain made its introduction to the U.S. by way of the thoroughly chill Brentwood Country Mart—which is a nice backdrop for its perfectly bohemian wool scarves and slouchy boots.


225 26th St., 310-395-8883

Kate

This is a true find. Just off West Third, it's kept hidden, and it's loaded with ingenious pieces from little-known labels, like bow-topped silk baby-doll Meghan dresses and gold pendant Lisa Levine necklaces.
