There was a space for authors to come in and do signings. I met some authors, talked with them, and even helped with a little social media. The clothing they had, including items from Africa, was very well presented. When I walked in, the staff greeted me right away. Someone asked if I was there for the book signing. I did not even know about it, but I went over, met the authors, and had a great conversation. Afro City was warm, welcoming, and full of culture and creativity. In a mall that feels empty in some spots, this place felt alive. Afro City Marketplace gets a full 5 stars from me.

Originally this store used to be in Crenshaw Mall, but moved down the street a few years ago to this bigger store location. Personally if your a serious shoe head this will be on off your first stores of choice. The managers usually will special order or even hold shoes for you. Under the table that is for a few extra bucks.

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!

Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza was honestly sad to walk through this time. My wife and I went for a…read moredate to see some African American art and spend some time there, especially during Black History Month. When you walk down the center, there are only a few places open on the bottom and a few on the top. At least the places that are still open are closer together, but the emptiness is hard to miss. TJ Maxx feels like the only real anchor on one side. There is also Southern Girl Desserts and a few other shops, but you can really feel what is missing. There are no major anchor tenants anymore. Walmart has been gone for a long time. Sears is gone. It feels barren. It reminded me of a hair salon that only sees people by appointment, with no walk in traffic. There were almost no people just strolling the mall like in years past. Afro City Marketplace and Ninas and some of the other African American businesses were nice and doing their best. The problem is not with them. The mall itself just feels empty and struggling. Because of that, I have to give Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza 3 stars. It is okay, but very difficult to see it like this.

I've returned to the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Mall. And what has happened is that the mall has been…read moredowngraded. Several businesses at the mall are still closed or have gone out of business. I went back for the Pan-African Film Festival (PAFF) arts and crafts to get a birthday gift for my wife. What used to be filled with vendors and patrons for the African Artist. The festival was a quarter of its heyday. I found a unique gift for my wife, and then I got a gift for myself at the gentleman's Fashion habadaserie, created by James Blumfield. I always wanted a suit from this designer. I finally got a few of his creations. Talking directly to the designer about my plans for the garments helped me get a deal that I couldn't pass up. My pieces are made of superior marerial making my investment of great value. Afro City is still there, providing access to creators and their craft. According to Tyrone Duprie, Creative Director and designer of handheld art, Afro City is a space where a collective of African and/or Descendants of American Slaves sell their crafts. I also met a Master Carpet designer working on a wearable art piece. If you're looking for a getaway in the city of Los Angeles, visit the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Mall for a unique mall experience.
