Wolf & Badger is among the upscale shopping choices available on Melrose near the Pacific Design Center. Unlike most of the other shops, Wolf & Badger features a number of independent artists, as opposed to representing a single designer.
The store is attractively designed and curated with a large collection of men's and women's clothing, jewelry and various housewares. There are definitely some very interesting designers on display and a number of things caught my eye (I spent quite some time eyeballing a set of skull adorned dishes). I mention this because after touring a number of the luxury design shops in the area, I was distinctly underwhelmed.
Now, the merchandise on display at Wolf & Badger is not inexpensive. However, they are not unreasonable for the quality they represent. You are not simply buying a name, like at the Real Real or Vivienne Westwood. You are buying the well-constructed work of a small, dedicated designer or artisan. And whether you look in the store or at the website, it is definitely possible to buy something under fifty dollars. Something distinctly unlikely at nearby merchants.
The staff at Wolf & Badger were pleasant and helpful without being intrusive.
I will definitely return in the future. read more
