A great, curated selection of women's styles make Ananda a mist-visit every time we drive through this area. Abbot Kinney is a fun stop anyway. But, my +1 cannot resist this boutique and always takes home pieces that are destined to become favorites. She gets complements and the inevitable "where did you get that" inquiries. If you're visiting the LA area and looking for some women's clothing that has a distinctly "I picked this up in southern Cali" look, Ananda is your place! read more

My favorite clothing store on Abbot Kinney. Ananda is one of the first stops on our list when my friends and I are in the area. This small boutique specializes in female clothing, accessories, and fun knick knacks. I purchased my favorite corduroy pants here, as well as a few tops/dresses. I love that every item is unique and you won't find it copy/pasted across the Venice boardwalk. It's also a great place to search for the perfect gift. I found a dainty gemini necklace for one of my best friends and she's worn it non-stop for months. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area! While the items aren't cheap, they're definitely more affordable than the majority of Abbot Kinney shops. read more

Thanks to Coachella, Outside Lands and the like, the bohemian trend is a look that won't go away soon. Ananda called to me because it's not a typical store that I would go to. I don't own anything remotely fringe-y, flower child, retro, zen vibe at all. I love that the prices here are much more affordable than the rest of the stores along Abott Kinney. From chunky jewelry, cute booties, sexy crop tops, floral dresses, candles, journals, etc. If you need to kill an hour of your time and be treated aesthetically, this is your spot. Sales associates are also helpful and friendly. read more

Rude staff and very entitled. Too busy on their cell phones to help. Not a good quality store. Bought a sweater and after 1 wash it's over. (95 bucks down the drain. The worst read more

The store itself is everything one should love about Venice: equal parts kitschy and ethereal. The employees are everything you would hate about Venice. Out of all the stores lined on Abbot Kinney, you'll at least get a chuckle out of the behavior these part-timers (and possibly owner) project onto their customers. Keep walking past Ananda and you'll find stores with better merchandise, for a much better experience worth your money. read more

This was a surprise find! We went to explore abbot Kinney as we haven't been there in so long. I found this place and all I can say is wow. The customer service was above par. We were greeted right away and were offered help by friendly employees. The place is just adorable and had the cutest dresses in so many colors. Their accessories were also amazing and I found exactly what I wanted. This place is great for gifts as well. I'll definitely have to go back soon to buy birthday presents and for the cutest summer looks. It's so bohemian and down to earth. I'll be back soon for sure! read more

The cutest little store on abbot Kinney! The employees were super sweet and they had the cutest little knickknacks. Perfect for a gift for a friend. We picked up some tarot cards and oracle cards, as well as a nice lounge set. The prices are very reasonable here as well. read more

my favorite store on abbott kinney. Cute jewelry, accessories, and books. My friend and I bought each other tarot cards here. Great energy inside! Great if you need a gift for someone and don't know where to start. read more

Hip little shop on Abbot Kinney in the cool shopping and dining area of Venice beach. Stopped in yesterday. It smells a little like incense and oils and they sell yoga beads and quartz stones. But they also have some chic clothes - pretty blouses- funky fall sweaters and romantic skirts. I loved the jewelry. I bought two silver bands for $22. Very thin and great for layering. Also bought a gift for my daughter. Might go back and get one of those sweaters too. The employees were lovely- stop in when you are visiting Abbot Kinney. read more

The most rude and obnoxious employees work there. They act as if they are doing you a favor to allow you into the store. Give your hard earned money to other stores in the area that are appreciative of your business. Never again will I enter that store. read more

This spot always has the cutest earrings, crystals and I just found my new holiday sweater! The people working at the counter were very rad and sweet. Thank you, Venice gem :) read more

I've never before written a Yelp review, but I've never been so humiliated in my life by a shop owner. I spent the day shopping in Venice with my friend, bought 4 things at this shop. Afterwards, I was stalked down the street by the shop owner in her car and was interrogated and accused of shop lifting (but she wasn't even sure of what items). I was so bewildered, I didn't even understand what she was asking at first. When I realized what was happening, I immediately offered to show her the contents of my bag. She refused and told me she would watch the videos in the store to see if I'm telling the truth. No apology, no nothing. I was shocked, humiliated and embarrassed and will never step foot in here again. I would recommended others to do the same. I wish I could return the things I bought. Definitely not worth the whole ordeal. read more

I spotted this great boutique because of the wall art outside the building. On entering I'm feeling this zen boho vibe with a stylish shop girl greeting me calmly. I felt as ease pondering the soft tunics, dresses, jewelry, books, and accessories. Reasonable prices invite me to try on several items and I leave with the treasure of my vacation to California. A long sleeve t shirt dress, knotted-back fringe crop top, 2 lace bralettes, a crystal wrap bracelet, and a sterling midi ring come home with me. I want to go back and buy that dress in every color! The fringe crop top has inspired my yoga wardrobe beyond belief. As I checked out I learned this Is a family owned business. read more

Ananda - Outside ananda - Women's Clothing Near Me - Venice, California

Cute store BUT I bought a skirt there for $60 then went on Pinterest the next day to find ways to complete the outfit after searching "yellow maxi skirt." I was shocked to find a ton of online retailers selling the same exact skirt for only $30! The receipt from my purchase says "No refunds" so I'm basically stuck with this purchase. They must be making a killing off of each sale! read more

If you love the laidback Bohemian goddess aesthetic, Ananda is your jam. I stopped in here this past Saturday afternoon and wound up getting two tank tops (on sale for 2 for $20!), an ombre sea blue jersey dress for $32, and a nice chunk of Pyrite for $12. Their prices are quite reasonable for the Abbot Kinney shops- great if you want to pop in for a cute casual date outfit or want to pick up a cute gift for a friend- they had several Frida Kahlo wall hangings, dainty beaded bracelets, books, crystals, and fringed purses. The workers are friendly and let you browse without interfering, and there's an upper level with more finds, including a sales rack with $20 and under pieces. read more

Whenever I'm walking along Abbott Kinney, I always make a point to pop in to Ananda to see the cute stuff they got, and they've got cute stuff in spades! I totally agree with Lotus L. who said it reminded her of a cheaper, friendlier Urban Outfitters, and I'd also like to add "less pretentious" to that list. I'd never bought anything here for myself before last weekend when it happened to be my lucky day and there were two cute tops that called to me. My friend who came with me got a super bargain on a snazzy yellow top and matching scarf. Also, while the salespeople aren't bubbling with enthusiasm most of the time, when you get them going they do turn out to be pretty nice people. This place is great for gifts too, particularly for women who are into a bohemian, kitschy, funky, cute kind of style. read more

Boho chic with a decent selection of clothes and jewelry ! The clothes here are reasonable ( maybe slightly more than Zara) but I did expect more for the quality as I bought this really cute sweater shown in display that shed like a mother and kimonos that got worn out after a few wears ! read more

I wandered into this store when I was killing time, and I was absolutely not going to purchase anything due to a recent spending spree. But then I saw this black skirt that looked like I could dress it up for an evening out or pair it with sandals and a tank top for a more casual day thing. And since I was trying on the skirt, I needed to try on a top because the one I had on wouldn't look right with it, so I grabbed this Kelly green drape-y thing. I tried on the outfit, loved it, and justified the purchase by telling myself it was just what I needed if some "hip cocktails" type event arose. (The justification sounded silly even to me.) Strangely enough, I got a last minute invite to a hip cocktails event the next night. Clothing karma? Maybe. Also, I bought a wallet (I needed one!), but I still walked out of the store spending less than $100 total. My only qualm: the skirt doesn't seem like the most well-made product ever. But it will definitely work for a season or two. read more

I shop a lot. Let's put that out there, however after shopping all down Abbot Kinney I was starting to get a little disappointed because all the cute shops were ridiculously out of my price range. I walked into Ananda and fell in love. The atmosphere is GREAT, good music, and I loved everything I saw. Bought a dress, necklace, sunglasses AND shoes! I couldn't help but where it all out of the store. I would most definitely return to Abbot just for this boutique. read more

Ananda - By far the sweetest and cutest boutique I have ever seen and I shop a lot. Dress, sunglasses and necklace from there! - Women's Clothing Near Me - Venice, California

I LOVE this little GEM. If you're looking for that special/unique, go-to item, you will find it here! And the staff is there to assist you if necessary - super sweet and helpful. read more

Went to exchange a gift that I received that did not fit. Though the clothing still had the tags, they would not let me exchange because it was outside of the 14 day policy. I would NOT recommend buying anything here, especially for gifts. read more

If you love Bohemian stuff, you will love this place! They have very cute boho clothing, sweaters and long skirts, jewelry, and spiritual tools like crystals, sage, tarot, buddha figurines, and books. I bought a colorful scarf there for $24. I could tell it was made high quality; very soft & nice and thick. I will visit this shop again if I am ever back in the area. The only bad thing is they don't accept returns. So buy carefully. read more

Very cute store and a great atmosphere. The store has a lot of bohemian clothes that make summer dressing fun and easy. The store has a lot of cute books that would inspire anyone. The jewelry is very unique and trendy. Although I did not purchase anything, I would recommend this store as a must see if your in Venice. read more

The staff here is awesome. Very friendly and totally awesome at assisting you when trying on cloths. its hard to find a sweet little shop still alive on Abbot Kinney that doesnt charge an arm and a leg. i go in even if im not looking or anything. i always find an amazing piece to add to my wardrobe, that everyone notices. the Jewelry there is SO adorable! Judy Blue pants and lots of summer shorts right now. read more

This store has a great vibe, very yogi! Lots of cute clothes for guys and girls. I'm heading over tomorrow to shop, I'm thinking I need a baby Buddha for my apartment and Ananda is the perfect place to find one! read more

I really enjoy this shop! Probably one of my favorite stoes to shop in whenever I'm in Venice and doin the Abbot Kinney thing =) I've visited on several occasions. Things I have purchased here include a blouse, jewelry, and Inspiration Cards. Besides clothing they also offer other items such as books, cd's, and decorative pieces. It is a "quaint" place that has a nice feeling and not corporate as say....Urban Outfitters? There's a bit more personal feel. ** There is also One thing that I also adore here...They use "Bio Bags" to hold your belongings after you purchase them. BioBag's are "100% compostable and biodegradable! I've never seen these bags used anywhere else (at least so far) Also when you stroll down Abbot Kinney most other women's boutiques are much much more pricey! This place stands apart and as I said each time I'm on Abbot Kinney I will stop in. read more

This place has become my favorite new spot. I stumbled up on it on a Sunday and loved everything in the store. I've been looking for a harem jumpsuit to wear for the summer and they had it along with plenty of other colors. I ended up buying 2 and a few accessories. The prices aren't too bad but I'm sure if you shopped around you'd find the same thing in another store that's cheaper. The quality of the clothes is the reason why I keep coming back. The staff is very nice and the vibe of the store gives off a boho/ zen feel which I like. This is a store I'd recommend if you're ever in the area read more

While all of the shops on Abbot Kinney are crazy cute this one is my favorite!!! I kept touching everything and shrieking with excitement!! It is such an incredible store. If I had more money I would have probably spent it all. As it was I managed to contain myself to a graffiti book for my brother's Christmas present and some incense matches (also for my brother). Some notable stand outs: Molly M design jewelry Butterfly wing jewelry (sad but cool) Treehouse coffee books PREETTTYY coasters Unique clothes Sturdy Wallets Peace Signs! everything... I'm telling you, of all the Venice stores this one is the most amazing! I can't wait to save up more money for another trip. Maybe this time I will buy a present for myself. read more

Wonderful selection of everything. I bought cars , scarf , jewelry. Everyone worked was very sweet and helpful . I asked about my necklace as I always love to hear the story who designer is etc. she took the time to look it up and told me everything I wanted to know . Great sales , clothes , jewelry , little fun trinkets read more

As a yogi and yoga teacher, I LOVE this store. It has everything you'd ever need from a good vibes/hippie/yogi store. Incense, books, clothes, and accessories. Every time I walk in, I feel like a goddess! read more

This is probably the most reasonably priced shop on Abbot Kinney. Most of the items have a Boho vibe, and you can find really useful pieces from underwear to light outerwear and everything in between. The sales people are relaxed and let you shop around at your own pace. They have jewelry, shoes, sunglasses, and candles in addition to clothing. A little bit of everything. read more

Nice, affordable shopping along Abbot Kinney. I treasure stores like these as more and more super high end places take root on the blvd. This store always has a good selection of bohemian, hippie clothing. Great for easy summer dresses and flowy tops. They also have some very beautiful jewelry. Head up the stairs to the back to check out their book selection. Lots of fun coffee table books and short reads. read more

I really dig this place with its Buddhist vibe harmonious with Lamai Thai massage next store and the overall hippy dippy harmonies of Venice. Erin got a cute hat. There's a selection of women's clothing and an equal selection of curios and Eastern idols. read more

Here is the main reason I shop at Ananda: it is literally, the only clothing store I can afford on Abbot Kinney. On a block peppered with eclectic, high-end and esoteric labels and hip restaurants du jour, Ananda stands out as the funkier, perhaps shabbier younger sister of the bunch. You know, the one who thinks that flip-flops and a jersey wrap dress are the solution to any fashion quandry. I don't exactly mean this as an insult, but let's face it, their stuff isn't as nice, hence their affordability. Ananda carries a selection of basic tees, jeans and sweaters. They'll always have some cute dresess and jackets on the racks too, plus a selection of menswear and gift items. The selection is very casual and laid back with some fun color choices. My main issue is not with their aesthetic, but with the quality of the clothing. The very first item I purchased from there was a truly adorable frock that I wore out of the store and onto the dance floor where the seams up the sides of the dress unraveled before my eyes. If the dress hadn't been lined, this could have been a huge embarrassment. They do have some bargains, but ultimately, you get what you pay for. Fortunately, what Ananda lacks in quality craftsmanship they make up for with a pleasant, always friendly staff. read more

cute shop for women's clothing.. i want to come back here cuz i love their style.. reminds me of a less expensive "Anthropologie", if you like that style... . although their prices arent THAT inexpensive. you can get cute, eclectic clothing here:) plus a fun neighborhood to stroll around at. :) read more

This boutique has cute clothing that's a little out of my budget but I get my hair cut at the salon in back. Veronica is amazing for cutting edge styles and color. She's good at reading her customers and knows when to mullet and when to long layer... She's funny too! I'm not crazy about the ambience but the staff is always friendly and my friends all copy my style... read more

Cute and quaint store with a bohemian vibe to it. Little odds and ends of things to look at/buy - books, candles, clothing, etc. Very random that there is a barber shop in the back (on the second floor). Overall, a nice little store with definite character. read more

Great store with a fantastic selection of quality and electric apparel. The employees are always helpful and knowledgeable and the overall atmosphere is welcoming. read more

This store is very cool. As a visitor from elsewhere I would say it captures a so-cal/venice vibe without spiraling into total cheese. The t-shirts, jewelry and odds and ends they had seem well selected and well merchandised. They also have some books and CDs. I didn't buy anything because well these are the times we live in. read more
