Information About

Fashion District, Los Angeles, California




The Fashion District is a design, warehouse, and distribution nexus of the clothing and fabric industry for Southern California . The district is located in Downtown Los Angeles and is located in a very densely developed area. The majority of the businesses in this area keep daytime only hours. Most offices and shops open between 9-10:00am and close between 6-7:00pm PAC time. The district was formerly called '''The Garment District'''.

The Fashion District features Santee Alley , a densely populated "back alley" shopping path between Maple and Santee Street, stretching from Olympic to Pico . This Alley is notorious for being home to a large concentration of bootleggers, trying to sell a variety of faux designer goods, ripped DVDs, and other stolen or bootleg items. Despite this, there are many reputable and honest merchants in the alley.

California Market Center , is centrally located in the Fashion District, and similar to the Cooper Building and the New Mart , it is home to the offices of many of L.A.'s young and aspiring clothing designers, sellers, and buyers.
