"Maxfield is a one-stop shop for high-end designers. I love going there because it's as if they have hand-selected the best pieces of the season from all my favorite designers. They also have impeccable customer service!"
"I've been shopping at OC since I was in high school. They have an amazing assortment of fashion forward and affordable brands. They also tend to carry smaller up and coming designers, so it's a cool place to shop and find new brands to work with!"
"This is a store I recommend to people when they are looking for something special. They have one of my favorite selections of accessories (jewelry, hats, shoes)."
"I love the vintage selection of jeans they have. And they do custom embroidering too! This is where I take all my personal pieces, and clients too, to have things embroidered."
"This store is such a treasure. If you ever want to get inspired by not only clothing but a general ambience, this is the place to go."
"I use to live across the street from the Assembly store in NYC, so when they opened in L.A., I was thrilled. The clothes have a really great leisure but luxurious style."
"Best store in Silver Lake! A mix of vintage and eclectic knickknacks."
