With Mother's Day just a few days away (and our awesome Unique LA Spring Market this weekend) we thought we'd give a little love to our moms... So here's a look at the amazing women who raised everyone at the Unique HQ! We love you mom!
We hope to see lots of moms and dads and grandparents and kids this weekend, at Unique LA. We truly love seeing different generations spending the day together, immersing themselves in creativity and fun - and not staring at glass screens! -xoxo
At Unique LA Spring Market we've curated an exciting section called "Gallery Row", a mixture of creative artist creations ranging from printed art to sculpture to high-design clothing. Browse the Gallery Row vendors below, then join us on May 13 & 14 to show from them.
Bring the whole family to Unique LA's Spring Market and hang out in The Cool Crib. This dedicated area of the market will feature a curated selection of local and independent childrens brands, a play and craft area, and a lounge where the entire clan can kick up their feet and slam a well-deserved juice box. Browse The Cool Crib vendors below and then come shop from them on May 13 & 14. As always, kids under the age of 12 attend Unique LA for free!
"More than half of the fastest-fashion items made are chucked away within a year of production. But such rampant retail therapy costs the earth."
When it comes to clothing, buying from independent companies helps more than just the local economy--it has an overall positive impact on the environment. A recent article in The Economist highlights the detrimental environmental impact of our global addiction to "fast fashion"--garments made cheaply and quickly by large retail chains using chemical-treated synthetic fibers. As a result, we're consuming more clothes than ever before and chucking them into landfills faster than ever before.
Unique LA gives you an alternative to the fast-fashion driven retail chain stores. At Unique LA, you can shop from local and independent clothing designers that prioritize quality and craftsmanship over cheap and fast. At the Spring market, you will find:
-hand-dyed kimonos from Tuesday Scarves
-Turkish-inspired textiles woven by hand from Handloom
-small capsule collections sewn in California by Lacson Ravello
-lingerie made from recycled or naturally derived fibers from VAVA Lingerie
You can browse the 50 independent clothing companies that will be at Unique LA May 13 & 14. Tickets are on sale now!

We take the feedback we receive from our vendors and shoppers very seriously and because of that we are making some changes for the upcoming Spring Market!
This year we are greatly reducing the amount of table spots available to make room for cool interactive areas and to continue with our new more open floor plan. What does this mean for vendors? Your chances of being accepted will increase by applying for a booth spot. Now that tables are limited we are reserving those spaces for vendors with small goods that are not able to fill a 10x10 space.
More details can be found in the application and in our vendor FAQ so please read it very carefully when selecting your space .
Keep in mind these important dates when applying:

First thing we think we should get out of the way, the office never looks this clean. Never. Thanks to Jenn Pablo's skills here are some beautiful shots of the Unique LA HQ. The office is open concept in a 100-year-old building in downtown LA and we've tried to surround ourselves with lots of inspiration, art and color... White desk and chest of drawers by West Elm, wood print above desk by LA artist Andre Mirzaian, sofa by Article, rugs vintage or from Rugs USA, the large white meeting table was custom-made for us, and a lot of it is from Sonja hunting for treasure at flea markets. Enjoy!
We are starting off our brand-new Unique LA Pin Club with a collaboration with LA's Tuesday Bassen! The first 2000 attendees each day will get this suh-sweet inaugural pin, worth $10! It pays to shop local... :) See you this weekend at the Holiday Market.
