Welcome, brothers and sisters, to a place where only true believers should venture to tread. This is Church Boutique, a shrine to all that is fashionable, stylish and avant garde. A 5,000sq ft temple of cool. The kind of place that Rihanna and Halle Berry go to shop. The kind of place that doesn’t let me in.
Yes, this is A-list territory, so if you’re going, make sure your credit card is the platinum kind. The building itself is exclusively hidden behind a screen of creeping vines, and inside is a beautiful barn-like space in which a diverse selection of clothes and objet d’art are on offer. And when we say diverse, we mean it; this is a place where you can pick up an urbanised Andy Warhol portrait or grab yourselves a set of extremely painful looking knuckledusters – don’t worry pacifists, they’re purely decorative, unless you’re a violent cartoon character with three fingers that is. Still need convincing? Iconic L.A street artist RETNA has an installation wall here. That’s all we need to say.
