OK, you're driving down Topanga Canyon from Malibu. It's a two lane road. And you could easily pass…read moreJalan Jalan Imports. But if you catch a glimpse of the sign at just the right time and make a sharp turn left, ideally missing the demonic oncoming traffic, you're there. Technically this plot of land is shared by Jalan Jalan Imports and Topanga Rocks. Topanga Rocks, I could take or leave. Jalan Jalan on the other hand... So, what is this place? Good question. What you are about to see on this lot are an enormous number of Balinese statues. Mostly Ganesha and Siddhartha Buddha, but also some apsaras (celestial nymphs) and a few other members of the Hindu and Buddhist pantheons. Many of the statues are very beautiful. But with few exceptions they are carved from stone and are 1) very big, 2) very expensive. The only people who would normally buy these are either New Age types that want a statue at the end of their heated pool (these statues are clearly designed to be outside) or perhaps a very devout Buddhist or Hindu who saved a month's salary to have a giant murti (form of a god) for inside their home So, why are we here? Well, you might want to spend 10 or 15 minutes looking at the statues (they are very pretty), but soon your eyes will wander. And then you'll see it: Owl Falls. Owl Falls is an incredibly picturesque waterfall. It is not a heavy stream, but it is continuous and beautiful. You can wade into the water. You can sit on the rocks. Or you can just watch it and contemplate existence for fifteen minutes. It's an incredibly peaceful and lovely place. You may want to explore a little more before you leave. If you go up the stairs toward the...geodesic dome/hut...thing, you will find a Balinese Hindu Shrine. Every time I've visited, it is covered with cash, coins from all over the world, pieces of jewelry and little pieces of paper (prayer requests, I assume). It is pretty damn cool. So, in conclusion: are the statues for sale cool? Yes. But is going to Jalan Jalan Imports merely an excuse for visiting the gorgeous waterfall and exploring the traditions of other cultures? Absolutely.

I prepaid and scheduled a candle making party for a group of four to celebrate a birthday. We…read morearrived early for our appointment, only to find the store completely closed. The owner of the adjacent hat store (who shares the space with Topanga Mercantile) kindly called and texted the owner on our behalf -- but received no response. I also called the store number and emailed, but got no reply. My friends and I waited outside for 30 minutes before finally leaving. This was supposed to be a fun birthday outing, and instead, we were left standing in a parking lot, disappointed and frustrated. As of today (a full day later), I still haven't heard a word from the owner. I've since contacted my credit card company to dispute the charge. Absolutely unacceptable customer service. I feel like I've been scammed. Be very cautious if you're thinking of booking anything here.

Packed with creative displays, quirky collections with Black Mirror vibes, random little nooks and crannies, and a backyard that feels like a bomb went off at Facebook Marketplace. A good spot to browse and wander. If you're coming to thrift, though, prepare yourself emotionally. Prices are not what anyone would call "thrifty." We did manage to uncover a treasure chest of 60s vintage silk scarves priced at $12-$20, so miracles do happen. But on the whole, it's about a three star spot for thrifting: finds, but very expensive. Staff was hands off, which I actually appreciate when browsing. Overall, a good place to wander around and take photos while pretending you might actually buy that $400 vintage letterman's jacket.

Greeting Cards, Bath & Body products, extensive Candle selections, Linens, Jewelry, etc., etc. They did a lovely wrap for the candle I purchased. If I'm being honest, I'd say the initial welcome tainted my experience. We sorta felt like they were uncomfortable with our browsing... sorta like they were suspicious of our visit.
