General Store

It doesn’t get more quintessentially California than Venice Beach’s beloved General Store. The longstanding boutique (which originally opened in 2009 in San Francisco) is a treasure trove of both artisanal and locally designed pieces, from handmade moon baskets and speckled ceramic mugs to linen frocks and minimal, gold jewelry. The shop boasts a laid-back, effortlessly stylish vibe that Angelenos can’t get enough of. Standouts? A romantic, billowy maxi dress by Echo Craft Park Fair’s Beatrice Venezuela, burnished silver chandelier earrings by L.A.-based designer Annie Costello Brown, and a hand-thrown ceramic planter by L.A.’s Kat & Roger Ceramics.
