Shopping with the owner felt like having a super knowledgeable, tasteful, honest, and supportive best friend helping me, and she spent over an hour with me as I tried on a dozen pieces from a wide variety of upscale indie brands. I ultimately went home with a 2-piece by Matteau that she suggested after she saw how much I liked a very similar suit by Ocin that didn't work quite as well as the Matteau ultimately did. I also picked up a Solid and Striped bikini, and a pair of Izipizi sunglasses that can be hard to find in the US. Prices aren't much higher than Everything But Water, the selection is way better curated than any department store, and the service was as personal/informed/fun as I ever could have imagined!

Tried to go to this store yesterday. The area is terrible for parking. The construction for the new…read moreshops isn't making it any easier. We parked then spent 20 minutes walking around trying to find the place among the other shops in this very strange triangle of a block. We were unable to find it on our own so called the store several times, yet no one picked up. What a waste of a trip to Culver.

We decided to pop into Timeless Treasures after lunch to browse, and unfortunately the experience…read morewas a bit of a letdown. The shop has a lot of small decorative items and vintage-style trinkets, but many of them felt significantly overpriced for what they were. A lot of the pieces looked similar to items you can find at places like BTS, The Council, or Out of the Closet--just with a much steeper markup here. Because of that, it was hard to justify actually buying anything. That said, it's still a fun spot to wander through if you enjoy browsing eclectic knickknacks and vintage-style decor. It's good for a quick peruse, but personally I wouldn't plan on spending much money here.

Staff were there but didn't greet me or anything. No biggie. You can easily find good labels here for under $10, like Levi's, Zara, Top Shop ...etc. They have an extensive area in the back for "higher end" clothes, and home furnishings.

Trove is a wonderful resale and consignment store. They have a huge selection of gently used items…read more You can get designer or name brand clothing, all sorts of accessories, purses, shoes, things for your home and they even have a baby section. Their prices are quite reasonable. Many items are up to 80% off what you would pay for great clothes and bags. They also have some nice art now and again it is all fairly priced. This is not a Salvation Army type store, yes, all items are used, but all are designer or something you may have seen in a store. They do not have a huge vintage section and that is fine. It has just really nice things that I would end up paying a lot more for new. The service is great. The staff is nice and knows what is in the store and where. If you are looking for a nice bag, they have it or some nice clothes. I have bought a few things there and I have never been disappointed.

Platform is a fun outdoor/indoor shopping center located in Culver City. I honestly hadn't heard…read moremuch about this shopping center until one of my favorite stores broadcasted that they would be having a pop up located here. Platform was fairly simple to navigate in many ways. Coming from Ventura county it was a little bit of a drive which was to be expected but luckily this center isn't far off the 405 freeway which did make this very easy to get to. Also the parking garage is clear and colorful (easy to find). Seemed safe enough and I felt comfortable leaving my car behind, haha, harder to say in some parts of LA these days. The parking garage was reasonable on pricing and it had an attendant so easy peasy. I appreciated that they had multiple maps and signage so you can find where you're heading with ease. This shopping mall is slightly more upscale, I said it. Not $$$$ price point but the restaurants and some shops are a little boujee for the average person. It's no rodeo drive but I could see this maybe not being the most accessible price point for the average person. We knew the content of the shops though so we were fine but did we blow a few hundred dollars, definitely. They had a nice ratio of clothing shops, to home goods, and restaurants/drink stalls. However, in grand total the amount of stores is slightly underwhelming. We walked this shopping center pretty quickly and were eager to see more cute shops. Felt a little empty in some ways but if you come here in mind of a few stores you know you want to see then your fine, this spot just wouldn't be on my regular shopping rotation as there isn't enough for me to see to justify the drive. Our favorite stores though were definitely Catbird (jewelry) and the Mojave Flea Trading Post (heard this was only a pop up store through 2023). I'm hoping they'll maintain the good stores and continue to get creative in bringing more to this center as it has potential and overall was a nice and chill environment for a girls shopping day.

This is specifically regarding the parking structure for the Platform. It's terrible, truly…read moreterrible. Came in on a Friday night to stop and pick up food at sweetgreen who validates. When I entered at 8:30 pm there was an attendant at the gate. When I left at 8:50pm there was no attendant and putting my validated ticket into the machine at the gate made me pay $2. Pressed on the call button resulted in no response. The next week on a Friday, I pull in around 8:25pm and there's an attendant there so I told her about my experience before (validated ticket with no attendant) and she was not very helpful but said that there needs to be an attendant for a validated ticket to work. So, I asked how long she'll be there until, which she said 10pm. I left 15-20 minutes after entering the structure. As I was pulling up the gate, I SEE HER WALKING AWAY FROM THE GATE. I waive at her with my ticket and she looks at me and shakes her head (sorry I can't help you) as she continues to walk away. WTF! This parking structure is absolutely ridiculous. The "complimentary 15 minutes" is also a joke because no one can get in and out in under 15 minutes. Don't go to the Platform if you have to use the structure to park.

Since having my baby I haven't been able to shop for myself and got fed up with wearing my maternity clothes. Somehow I found Trunk Club and thank goodness I did! After receiving my first box I decided to schedule an appointment with my stylist Alexandra. She was wonderful and pulled about 15 pieces for me to try. Some were a hit, some were a miss, but Alexandra took notes on what looked good on me for future reference. The location itself is beautiful. It's large with lots of natural light coming in from sky lights. There's a bar serving complementary beer, wine, water bottles, and coffee. Alexandra offered me a cold brew to drink which I gladly accepted. Also impressive was After visiting Trunk Club, I'm not sure why I wouldn't return every time I need a few new items in my wardrobe.

I'm not a big clothes shopper but I always look forward to my trips here (and always end up spending more than I plan) By appointment only (but super easy to make one) Trunk Club makes it so easy to shop for good looking clothes from a range of labels. They do tend to be more on the upper end (their acquisition by Nordstrom is indicative of this) so be prepared for the corresponding pricing. That being said working with a stylist and their range really helps with putting together ensembles that actually work and that involved multiple interchangeable elements. Trunk Club also has their own custom shirts and suits that are tailored for each customer. I've ordered both and love them. Their dress shirts are now my first choice both in terms of look and feel.

I am happy to have stopped by to see Gabriel after looking at reviewing their collections on their website. There is something for everyone who is looking for quality modern Filipiniana for all occasions. I found one that is perfect for the planned event and future occasions: Enrique Short Sleeve Barong in pina fabric, not the traditional long-sleeve, but one that I can wear for many different events. I stopped by the salon to check my fit with Gabriel. The Mestizo provides regular updates on the custom tailoring and shipment. The fit and look more than exceed my expectations. There is plenty of street parking and nearby lots since they are located in the Helms Bakery area of Culver City. Peruse their website or stop by to see their offerings if you are in the market for high end designs and fabrics.

Metered street parking was plenty, and the store was easy to find. Nina greeted us and provided help right away! We already knew which barong we were looking for, and they had plenty in stock. We were able to try on the garments, which helped out immensely. Shopping online for garments made with pina and/or cocoon fibers can be tricky since they don't allow much stretch. Barongs are typically an investment. Luckily, one of the garments we purchased was on sale! Nina answered all our questions and couldn't have provided a better experience! I highly recommend this place!
