CURATE COUTURE

Tucked behind CAFFE LUXXE (home of a terrific latte!)on San Vicente Blvd is a gem of a store called CURATE COUTURE.  I stumbled into CURATE COUTURE when I could not get a parking space in front of Luxxe and had to park in the lot behind the stores.  As I walked through the courtyard,  I noticed a store window decorated with classy and unique items.  I could not stop myself from strolling in.  What I learned was that the store is a high-end consignment shop housing gently worn designer items, vintage jewelry from the likes of Christian Dior, and pieces used in photo shoots. The store is light, bright, airy, and clutter free.   The manner in which the items are displayed is easy to sort through and pleasing to the eye.   The owner of the store has a discriminating eye and classic taste.  Designer labels such as Balenciaga, Derek Lam, Bottega Veneta, and Chloe can be found at Curate Couture.  These items don’t last and rumor has it that there have been girl fights over specific items.  My advice is to visit the shop weekly and put the item on hold that you are thinking about.  The day you decide that you must have that dress could be the day another girl is paying for it at the counter.   Trust me, I know.  Just as I put back the silk, mauve Derek Lam dress back on the rack, the girl across the store sprinted towards me and snatched it up.  I will not make that mistake again.   New items arrive weakly.  www.CURATECOUTURE.COM
