One thing I love to do when I travel is shop. What better way to get to know the style microclimates of great cities and their neighborhoods?
As we have been expanding Chairish, I have had the privilege of traveling to some great cities, visiting the most delectable shops and meeting with their charming, ambitious and sometimes quirky owners. This is the dreamy part of my job (as opposed to maybe…the spreadsheet part.)
No kidding when I say I get to see the most amazing stuff. Ever. Seriously.
But more importantly, I’ve met some really inspiring individuals who had big dreams, took chances and went out and started their own businesses. For sure I admire their aesthetics but I also admire their hustle because it’s not easy doing what they’re doing—and they do it really, really well. We are honored that they are selling on Chairish!
To share all these places and people, we decided to start publishing Chairish City Guides, and our first stop is the famous City of Angels.
If there were a perfect vintage shopping guide for Los Angeles, this is what it might look like.
I have always felt that, thanks to its enormous creative community, LA packs more visual prowess per capita than any other place on earth. Our City Guide captures that by pinpointing a diverse mix of stores alternatingly high and low, modern and old world, serious and witty. The store list is as eclectic and appreciative of individual style as the City itself.
And stay tuned! Over the next few weeks, I’m going to be sharing a behind-the-scenes look at each of the nine shops featured in our guide on Domaine Home and also listed on Chairish. I hope these stories get you excited for your next trip to LA.
