Everlane Opens First L.A. Store on Abbot Kinney
Everlane previously tested the brick-and-mortar waters in Los Angeles with its denim and sneaker pop-ups, and now the disruptive, direct-to-consumer company based in San Francisco is setting up permanent shop with its first L.A. store on Abbot Kinney Boulevard. Angelina Jolie and Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle are frequently spotted wearing the brand’s ethically made outerwear, loafers and leather bags — and now their favorite affordable essentials are all on offer at the 1,600-square-foot space, alongside the rest of Everlane’s women’s and men’s basics, eco-friendly denim, footwear and accessories ($18 to $235), as well as an exclusive “100% L.A.” tee ($18) which benefits the American Civil Liberties Union.

In addition to featuring plenty of tech-savvy touches (such as touch screens for shopping web-only inventory), the shop is also Everlane’s first location to offer its “Save My Spot” service, which sends a text message to shoppers when their fitting room is ready. Outside, the building is plastered with a massive graphic mural by iconic artist Barbara Stauffacher Solomon that nods to the brand’s sustainability efforts. Up next, the brand (known for its supply chain transparency) is opening a second New York outpost in Williamsburg.

Gentlemen can delight in unwrapping their own little blue boxes with the launch of Tiffany & Co.’s first men’s collections of fine jewelry, timepieces and home accessories ($200 to $15,000). Set to launch Oct. 1 online and in select stores (including the jeweler’s Rodeo Drive boutique), the lines embody “the spirit of the modern man: bold and confident, casual yet refined, a style arbiter with a discerning eye for quality,” according to a press statement.

The range will include the Tiffany 1837 Makers line (inspired by sports trophies and utilitarian hardware), while the Diamond Point collection includes decidedly more classic pieces such as sterling silver cufflinks, lead crystal cocktail mixers and a chess set featuring pieces handcrafted from solid sterling silver and 18k yellow gold.
