There are two things I know to be true: retail therapy can in fact improve your mood, and shopping locally can improve it even more. Shop for goodies and feel extra justified doing it? Yes please! It is no secret that some of the best small business and local boutiques in the world call Los Angeles home – remember my list of the 71 Best Boutiques In LA? While it is so hard not to be able to visit our favorite retailers IRL at the moment, several, if not most, of these boutiques have built virtual extensions of their shops online. With some even offering discounts, charitable aspects, local delivery options, curated bundles, and truly wonderful and creative ways to stay connected to their customers.
So, whether you’re doing some online shopping to pass the time, *DO SOME HOLIDAY GIFTING*, create a care package for someone (don’t forget this: “How To Make The Best LA Care Packages – And Support Local Businesses Doing It“), freshen up your home space a little, or to simply TREAT YO SELF, here is a comprehensive guide to LA’s best stores/boutiques/shops/shoptiques offering online stores:

FRED SEGAL
One of LA’s most beloved boutiques keeping up with the changing of times since 1961 – and continuing to crush it.

Right now they are offering a virtual concierge, as well curbside pickup options on orders!
THE GREAT
Helloooo, cozies. Founded by Emily Current & Meritt Ellliott, this LA-based brand not only offers ultra-chic, quality casual wear, but has the cutest, softest lounge sets ever, which we all know we need for the foreseeable future. While the West Hollywood store appears to still be fully closed for the time being, you can still enjoy shopping online, including their adorable tie-dye ready sets, for all of those getting into a DIY quarantine.

A higher-end / small label women’s boutique off Abbot Kinney currently offering free domestic shipping.

APOLIS
You know the now-iconic market bags. You probably have one! They have a “print shop” on East 3rd, but their online presence offers all of their product as well – including customizable options!
CANDID HOME
Vintage and new furniture, art, and home goods with colorful and bold designs. They’re offering curbside and free local delivery options at the moment for Angelenos.
HEATH CERAMICS
Handmade ceramics sourced from the Bay Area with an LA outpost, and of course a stellar online shop. Their ceramic pieces are so chic (they make everything you can think of) plus their online store offers other goods such as home decor pieces, furniture, bags, accessories, and even tile.
THE HÄNGAR
My absolute, all time, favorite furniture store in LA. Period. Their collection leans bohemian/chic/contemporary and their prices are arguably the most fair out there, and you can view their current pieces on their Instagram, or visit their website to shop the store/floor online! Right now they’re offering 40% off the online store (YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT) and free shipping. Happy home shopping.
LAWSON FENNING
A store run by Los Angeles-based designers, makers, and curators of vintage and locally made furniture, lighting, and accessories? Yes please. You can shop their goods online, or shop via DM (they’re doing showroom tours each week on their Instagram, so you can get a look at their inventory and consult with an interior design professional).
OK THE STORE
Al architecturally minded boutique known for their beautiful curation of unique items, housewares, and even jewelry. Their webshop is available 24/7, but they’re available for curbside pickup 6 days a week and are currently offering phone and video appointments as well.
PRELUDE & DAWN
A beautifully curated boutique that specializes in textiles, women’s clothing, baskets, kitchenware, apothecary goods, and paper goods. Right now they are offering $5 shipping or free curbside pickup at their Highland Park store.
REVIVAL VINTAGE
Offering a slew of badass vintage furniture, Revival Vintage Furniture operates as a cash-only business Thursday – Sunday. Selling amazing mid-century and beyond pieces at to-die-for prices, but with no prepays, holds, or phone orders, this truly feels like a vintage scavenger hunt score. Goods and their prices are posted on Instagram a few days before they open, so you know what to show up for Thursday to make a curbside buy before the piece you’re lusting after sells out!
SURFING COWBOYS
“Purveyors of beach culture in California” specializing in vintage surfboards and mid-century modern furniture/decor. This adored LA shop (open for 20+ years!) also offers other goods such as textiles, apparel, tabletop items, garden pieces, and more. A number of the pieces from their incredible collection/shop are available online.

PLANTS & FLORALS
ROLLING GREENS
Unique and slightly higher-end home and garden shop with an incredible collection and variety of goods. Their online shop is small but of course, beautifully curated and consisting mainly of garden kits and potted plants. (They’ll be updating the shop from time to time so be sure to check back for more.)
TWIG & TWINE
The physical Twig & Twine shop is a boho-chic boutique that offers modern floral arrangements, plants, gifts, and housewares. For now, however, Twig & Twine’s online shop offers options for delivered vase arrangements and delivered paper arrangements.
CACTUS STORE
Simply as advertised: Cactus Store offers cactus – even for delivery! Besides cacti, they even offer tools, pots, and even clothing.
FOLIA COLLECTIVE
The cutest and largest (local) online collection of plants and everything that goes with them. They’re offering pickup and local delivery options (in addition to shipping for everything but the plants)!

Offering delivery, curbside pickup, as well as shopping by appointment (max. 2 people) at their Highland Park storefront, The Juicy Leaf has whatever your shopping preference may be covered. With unique arrangements, AND now offering online succulent arrangement workshops so you can gain a new quarantine skill, The Juicy Leaf may make us all botanists yet. (Okay, maybe just some of us.)
VINTAGE CLOTHING & ACCESSORIES
THE WAY WE WORE
Vintage clothing and accessories spanning the decades – that you can even shop online. It’s impressive. Arguably one of LA’s most iconic vintage shops, prepare to emerge from quarantine in amazing style – or, now. Who am I to limit your shelter in place style?!
MOONSTONE VINTAGE
My absolute favorite vintage high-end designer boutique in LA. They have the most insane collection of particularly Chanel goods, but they carry items from a variety of iconic designers. You can usually find them inside of Reformation on Melrose, but their online Etsy store is always open.

FLAMINGO ESTATE
Heavenly, fresh garden grown goods including hand washes, hair care products, tinctures, pantry goods, candles, flowers, and of course fresh fruits and vegetables (they do CSA boxes as well)
GOLD BUG
One of my favorite boutiques in LA simply for its total uniqueness. Gold Bug was described to me as a “modern cabinet of curiosities” and with items such as taxidermied butterflies, art prints, interesting books, handmade jewelry, and all kinds of strange and wonderful finds the description makes perfect sense. While the physical shop remains closed for the time being, you can peruse their unique selection of goods on their website.

And it’s all online (free shipping with code STAYCOZY) or available for curbside pickup!
THE LAST BOOKSTORE
LA’s most beloved book – and record – store. While we patiently wait for the physical space to open back up, their online shop is open and they’ve even gone as far as to offer curated book bundles! Treat yourself or a friend to a new novel, the ultimate form of quarantine escapism if you ask me.

A fun and bohemian store and graphic design studio offering a variety of goods/clothes sourced from local artists. This is another one of those shops that really seem to have it all. They recently launched their online shop (which was very well done at that, obviously given their background) and are shipping nationwide!
PYGMY HIPPO SHOPPE
If you didn’t fall madly in love at first sight of their name alone… you’re crazy. And as to be expected with a name like that, it’s the cutest damn boutique you ever did see. But if you’re unable to swing by the little shoppe, fortunately, they’ve got an online shoppe as well with plenty of fun “gifts, curios, and handmade goods” to fit your fancy.
PLATFORM
Platform in Culver City (an urban shopping center, or boutique collective) has launched a program called Platform Drive-Through where you can shop from all of the retailers and restaurants at Platform in one place. Independent shops like Yolk, Reformation, Coast by Coast, Aesop, Tom Dixon, and so many other boutiques are available to shop on this page – it’s seriously so freakin’ cool it blows my mind. And you can even order lunch while you’re deciding which cookbook or swimsuit to buy. (All for contactless pickup!)

Have you truly experienced LA retail if you’ve never shopped at Poketo? Poketo is one of LA’s OG curated art and design inspired gift shops, and it’s here, even online, where you can find locally sourced housewares, stationery, accessories, care package essentials, and all kinds of fun and beautiful things.

URBANIC PAPER
All of your beautiful paper goods and stationery items in one place, along with a small curation of home goods to pair. (Thing wrapping paper, cards, party items, etc.) This has always been a mandatory stop for me on my visits to Abbot Kinney, I am glad we can still at least visit them online. And who doesn’t want to receive pretty snail mail from their loved ones right now?!
