He gave me a fair price and an approximate window when he would be available for the work. True to his word, he called me a while later to let me know it was my turn. Once he laid eyes on the suitcase, he talked me through the different ways in which he could attempt the repair. I greatly appreciated this and felt very confident in his abilities because of this. The repair of the suitcase handle, replacement really, was done so well you can't even tell any repair was done. A Master craftsman in my opinion.

Had a great experience shopping around the Topanga Vintage Market! Parking can be a little tricky…read moreif you arrive on the later side. Also, it gets super hot in the summer so be sure to bring water and maybe an umbrella because shade is scarce. There is an absolutely fantastic selection of vintage clothes and purses, as well as homewares and toys. This market is a little on the smaller side when you compare it to something like the Rose Bowl Flea, but it's got the same vibe. There was still plenty of stalls to browse!

There are many ordinary things like thrifty shops. But, for someone is not American, some objects are the most interesting for the American life. I didn't ask price there. The selection is really curious. Ext time with some money, maybe I get lucky to find something. The parking lot is free, $5 the entrance, a two food truck, and alive music.

This is such a sweet little craft store! I initially came in looking for some fiber to spin but was…read moreinstantly taken in by all of the really luscious yarn options. The colors are beautiful and there are plenty of weights to choose from. Many of the yarns come with variegated colors, but I opted for a straightforward uniform color as I'm learning how to knit. The person behind the counter was super helpful, too. She got me set up with the right knitting needles and helped me pick out a rich, earthy orange to work with. My understanding is that the shop offers lessons for folks looking to learn as well. So it's a one-stop shop for folks who might like to pick up a new hobby and learn how to implement it all in one.

LOVE TJL stores!…read more Always fun to pop in and see what's rotated about and the occasional sales they have, like the BOGO for many of the Bandai toys and collectibles in front. I wanted to get a few things for various toy drives I've been donating to around LA this month and made out with a great haul. The girls in the store were both super helpful and kind... Greeted me and offered to assist on the floor. I did a few laps throughout as they had so much! Including items displayed on top of other items... Almost like walking into some super collectors living room and seeing their ultimate store of accessories, charms, collectibles, cutlery, drinkware, plushies, toys, and more. I feel like the store itself used to be closer to the main mall side near Claire's and the entrance closest to Tampa Avenue / Nordoff Street a few years ago, but has shifted toward the back (might be mixing it up with another Westfield or maybe it's just been a while since I was here). Being such a popular chain store, they'd do well anywhere in the mall. However, it felt like a mission to locate it. And there wasn't much around it with a vacant former department store being next to it on the 1st level. If not for the sale, I'd have spent way more. Definitely on the pricer side compared to other places, but I appreciate the physical experience here as you can't come across everything they carry online or their own website. Feels a little more neighborhood-esque with the printed and handwritten signs. Definitely welcome and an easy shopping experience overall.

I came here for a one-time class back in August with my grandma and mom as a gift for them, and it…read moreended up being such a wonderful experience. Biania is the sweetest and most patient teacher, and she took the time to make sure all of our pieces came out exactly how we wanted. We all appreciated her so much, and we each have our pieces proudly displayed in our homes. I loved the class so much that I signed up for her monthly classes on the spot and have been happily going ever since. She's created such a warm and welcoming community, and I'm so grateful to be part of it. It's honestly one of the highlights of my week! If you're looking for a creative outlet, I can't recommend this place enough. I can't wait to bring more of my family and friends here.

DONT WAST YOUR TIME. We took a pottery class with Biana at the end of September/early October 2025…read more At first, she seemed kind and personable, and the initial class itself was enjoyable. Unfortunately, the experience after the class was very disappointing due to a lack of professionalism and communication. It took a long time and multiple attempts to reach her to schedule glazing. After we completed glazing, I reached out again on December 17, 2025, to follow up about picking up our pottery. I received no response--no call, no text--until today, January 14, 2026. When she finally responded this morning, she asked whether we had even done our glazing, which was frustrating given the long delay. I attempted to call to arrange picking up my pottery, even in its unfinished state, but was told she was closing her shop and that I would need to reach back later in the evening. When I expressed my concerns about how long this process had taken and the lack of communication, I was met with dismissive comments and was even told that I was being "dramatic." This was especially upsetting, as communication was prompt at the beginning when payment was required. Due to the ongoing delays and poor communication, I no longer wish to retrieve my pottery. I am writing this review to share my experience so others are aware before booking. I also noticed another review describing similar issues, and I wish I had read it beforehand. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this studio. Sign up with Clay and Play instead!
