LA boutiques: 40 shops by neighbourhood and address
Forty Los Angeles boutiques with a street address, by neighbourhood. Five on Melrose, four on La Brea, three on Abbot Kinney. Checked September 2026.

Forty Los Angeles boutiques carry a street address in within's book, and thirty nine of them came back operational when we checked them against Google Places on 27 August and 2 September 2026. Here they are by neighbourhood, with the address each one publishes.
The fortieth is Tavin Boutique, 1543 Echo Park Ave, which returned no Places record on the day we checked. It stays on the list with that flag rather than being quietly dropped. The full set is on the Los Angeles directory.
Melrose shopping, from the Avenue to the Place
Five of the forty sit on Melrose, and they are not one kind of shop.
Maxfield, 8825 Melrose Ave, run by Tommy Perse since 1969. Resurrection Vintage, 8006 Melrose Ave, archive pieces sold by the decade. Scout, 8021 Melrose Ave, vintage.
Irene Neuwirth is at 8458 Melrose Pl on the quieter block, and Wanna Buy A Watch at 8441 Melrose Ave. West of there, in West Hollywood, H. Lorenzo holds 8801 Beverly Blvd and Curve 154 North Robertson Blvd.
La Brea is the better walk
Four shops sit inside two blocks of La Brea Avenue, which makes it the densest run on this list.
American Rag Cie, 150 S La Brea Ave, and General Quarters at 153 S La Brea Ave on the other side of the street.
Recess LA is at 111 N. La Brea Ave and Union Los Angeles at 110 S La Brea Ave.
One street over on Beverly Boulevard, Mister Freedom at 7161 and The Way We Wore at 8057, suite 200.

Beverly Hills is a jewellery district, not a clothing one
Eight of the forty are jewellers and half of those are in Beverly Hills, mostly upstairs by appointment rather than on the street.
Beladora, 9595 Wilshire Blvd, suite 301. Jack Weir & Sons, 8730 Wilshire Blvd, suite 530. Martin Katz, 190 N Canon Dr, suite 500, the penthouse. XIV Karats, 314 S Beverly Dr.

What the forty actually sell
Counted by category: eight jewellers, six menswear rooms, six womenswear, five concept stores, four vintage dealers, three archive sellers, two unisex designer shops, two consignment rooms, two eyewear shops, one unisex room and one sneaker store.
One sneaker store in forty. Los Angeles resells jewellery and archive clothing instead.
What this page is not
No Los Angeles boutique sells through within today. This is a list of shops with a checked address, not a shelf you can buy from, and it says so rather than implying otherwise.
Shops that want their stock readable from home start at for stores. The two cities where within already prints live stock are Toronto and New York.
Common questions
Where are the best boutiques in LA?
within does not rank shops. Of the forty Los Angeles boutiques with an address in this book, five are on Melrose, four inside two blocks of La Brea Avenue and three on Abbot Kinney in Venice, so those three strips hold the densest independent shopping in the city. Thirty nine of the forty were confirmed operational against Google Places on 27 August or 2 September 2026.
What is there to shop on Melrose Avenue?
Five shops on this list: Maxfield at 8825 Melrose Ave, Resurrection Vintage at 8006, Scout at 8021, Wanna Buy A Watch at 8441 and Irene Neuwirth at 8458 Melrose Pl. Maxfield is a concept store, Resurrection and Scout sell archive and vintage clothing, and the other two sell watches and fine jewellery.
Where do you buy vintage in Los Angeles?
At seven addresses on this list. The Way We Wore at 8057 Beverly Blvd, Resurrection Vintage at 8006 Melrose Ave, Scout at 8021 Melrose Ave, Aralda Vintage at 6671 Sunset Blvd, Replika Vintage at 5061 W Sunset Blvd, The STORE by Chelsea Von Mach at 5124 W Adams Blvd, and Tavin Boutique at 1543 Echo Park Ave, which we could not confirm on 2 September 2026.
