I went to F.I.T. in New York then to F.I.D.M in Los Angeles. I have over 15 years experience in the garment industry in manufacturing, designing and had a wholesale showroom
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Qulaity and price. I have both New and Vintage combined. I buy very carefully and always keep a resonable pricepoint for the quality of the item. My resale is actually the best values. I have many designer labels at a fraction of original retail cost. I am very particular about what I bring in to the store. Whatever it is, It has to hit me right.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
I have one location. I would like to expand to incorporate fashion for men as well. I have some things for men now but not enough space to do it the way I would like to.

Which areas do you service?
I have noticed that once people come in, they come back. Even from as far as Cerritos and the Valley. I also have regular cruise ship people that make sure to come in any time they are in port here in San Pedro. The most local areas are the South Bay, Palos Verdes, and Long Beach. I also have many costume designers that come from LA. We make it a great day for them. Free parking, free lunch. I know how to work with them and they love coming to me. They say I provide a wonderful assortment and that they often find a large portion of their needs with the convenience of finding most of what they need in one place.
