If you only shop at Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's, this place is NOT for you. It's in a converted old manufacuring building with no air conditioning. It's a little hard to find, so look for the Fallas Paredes signs on the west side of Figueroa just south of El Segundo at 15001 S. Fig. Getting into and parking, then walking through parking lot is a slight obstace course. Once inside, the music station of choice here is Latin Hip Hop, Sometimes there are lots of crying kids. But moms need to be here to save some big money. So if atmosphere isn't as important as price, and if you like overstocks at a bargain, Fallas may be your kind of place.
There are businesses near here that I have to visit. Snce I don't like shopping much, I come in before the lunch rush or don't come at all. When my timing is right and I get lucky, I can get in and out in 15 or 20 minutes. I really only shop the men's department and the housewares. For example, they had some acrylic runner rugs for about 10 dollars cheaper than Wal Mart. They had some framed art months ago for $20 that sold at Michaels and other places for $50. You can get dinner places and pots and pans. You never know what you can find, and it's strictly hit or miss.
Sometimes, they get a big supply of Adidas and Nike T shirts. I play a lot of tennis and work on my garden. In no time, my shirts and shorts start to look ragged. So I go here where it's $8-10 for those items. They sometimes have good prices on casual trendy shirts and lots of polo shirts and jeans.You might need a lot of time to go through
everything to find the size and style you like. One catch is they have no dressing rooms in any of their stores. They also sell socks, underwear, and sometimes shoes. They don't refund but have limited exchanges with receipt.
In late winter, they start putting out their spring and summer stuff. In late summer before school starts, they put out their fall and winter jackets. Many of the ones I saw were sold last year at K Mart, Wal Mart. Kohls and similar discont stores. They have some Polo USA, and on rare occasions, some designer stuff in but they're gone in a flash. I am real rough with watches and around Christmas and Father's day. they have those for me for under $10 that supposedly retailed for over $40.
There are lots of kid uniforms for schools because in LA, they make the kids wear them. But all of their stores carry kids uniform stuff, kids lunch pails, back packs, and more. Again, the beauty of this place is the prices, though it's a wild adventure sometimes shopping here. read more
