Vintage Shop LA #1

Fresh on the L.A. vintage scene, Buttons & Bows in downtown is the brainchild of stylish BFFs Monique Aquino and Karen Marley, daughter of Bob Marley. Their contemporary take on vintage, for some reason, really compels me to get up, stand up. And their store's recycled high fashion (Chanel, Margiela, Chloe, YSL, even some TOPSHOP) truly satisfies my soul. Not to mention the honestly priced wares (usually marked down at least 50% from original prices), which left me wondering, "Is this love?" So lively up yourself, quit waiting in vain, and join the punky reggae vintage party downtown. Jah. 111 W. Seventh Street, Suite R11, downtown LA.
