In the early 2000s, like many others, I made my way to LA with a dream in my heart. After...

When I first came to Los Angeles, I used to work background on sets. Background actors had to provide their own costumes and often times you said, "Yes, I have an evening gown" when you actually didn't. So I would hit the thrift shops, find what I needed for the shoot and then upcycle the garment into something else. I developed a love affair with the Los Angeles Fabric Market and Craft Emporiums ever since. If you too are more likely to make garments and home goods with your own hands, love the fashion of bygone days or enjoy the thrill of a great find that you will save from a land fill, this tour is for you. We'll cover the LA Fabric Market where you could purchase the fabric and notions for your next 10 projects for the price of one. I'll also take you thrifting before we hit the vintage shops. We'll end with a trip to a Film & TV Wardrobe Resell Warehouse! We'll learn about some of the great costumers of LA and their tricks and tips. It's a great day of shopping LA the way the locals do it!
·We'll meet in downtown LA and head to the Fabric District-no matter what you're looking for, cotton, silk, wool, mohair, bamboo, technical fabrics, we'll find it here at rock bottom prices. ·We'll stop for notions & crafting shops too (one store exists for zippers only and another one for just ribbon)! ·After this, we'll head to one of LA's best thrift stores (huge selections & great prices!). Keep in mind that some of the stores we'll shop in don't have dressing rooms, so you ought to wear leggings & tops that let you try on in public. ·Next, we'll stop for lunch, which could be at one of my favorite taco joints ·Later, we'll head to Burbank where we'll browse vintage dresses, menswear, jewellery, try out one of Hollywood's oldest cosmetic brands used by the likes of Lauren Bacall & Judy Garland and hunt for bargains at a Film & TV Wardrobe Resell Warehouse. ·I'll drop you back where we started. If you wanted to shop in the nearby garment district to round out your day, you'd be close enough to do so!
