I was visiting Little Tokyo after having been fabric shopping in the Fashion District when I came upon Leola Lace while walking. I had just come from a cafe where I had a matcha latte and was holding it when I spotted a lovely fruit patterned skirt in the display window. Immediately, I knew I wanted to try it on because it was cute and I could see myself wearing it. I entered the store and the sole employee seated at the cash register told me there were no drinks allowed in the store. I asked her if there was someplace inside I could leave my drink, such as the cash register table she was seated at. She told me I could leave my drink outside, on the floor. I honestly was a bit in shock hearing this?? I've never had this happen where if a store did not allow drinks they would not also have a space designated to park your drinks so customers could still browse and therefore shop at their establishments?? Her tone and delivery was also rude and I was completely turned off from the entire store, let alone purchasing this skirt that I had liked. I left shortly after this rude interaction, which was a shame, because I liked their products. read more

9/23/2017 We ended our day in Little Tokyo by shopping in this little boutique. The display of clothes in the windows beckoned us to come on in. Not to much moving room due to the racks of clothes. Only two changing rooms, but it was doable. Many nice outfits and cute jewelry pieces. Plenty of large purses. LOVE the sale rack. I tried on some really cute dresses, but ended up only buying a $10 silver ring. My daughter on the other hand is another story. read more

From the outside this store is cute with really nice unique pieces of clothing & jewelry. Giving it a low score because any time I stop by it's closed. I've stopped by during the week, on the weekends, early and evening and it's never open. Tried calling and no one answers. Not sure if this place is just for display or sells from the storefront. read more

Pros: This is a cute little boutique that always draws me in with their front window display. Their jewelry is always so dainty and delicate looking. They also have some trendy, well-made pieces at decent prices (~$45 for a shirt and ~$55 for a dress). I got an adorable blue and white striped wrap dress, which has shorts attached underneath. It was perfect for a dinner by the marina! (See photo below) It was pretty windy, and the shorts saved me from a couple Marilyn Monroe moments... Cons: Sadly, since it's a small store, the more popular pieces are often sold out in size small. I'm 5'7" and 115 lbs, and the small usually fits me well. The dress I got was only available in medium or large, so I had to get a medium and pin in the sides. Another downside is the customer service. I've found that the employees are usually pretty unfriendly, and don't even bother to smile or welcome you into the store. It can also be a pain to find parking. For a close and affordable parking lot, I recommend the Aiso St. Parking Garage at 101 N. Judge John Aiso St. read more

Leola Lace - $55 blue and white striped wrap dress, with shorts attached underneath - Accessories Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I'm always wary of venturing into small, trendy boutiques like this. I'm averse to absurd prices and pushy sales people. I like to quietly peruse without feeling watched or pressured into buying anything. Well, I took my chances and strolled into Leola Lace on a lunch break and I'm so glad I did! Their selection is small, but their items are stylish, well-made and well priced. Tops are around $25+ and dresses around $40+. They have new items coming in every week, and they boast a wide variety of styles ranging from classic to hipster. They have their own wonderful line of jewelry that is unique and dainty-definitely classy pieces that will be chic for years to come. Service is wonderful! Great music! A hidden gem! read more

I like Leola. Come here while you are waiting for your ramen. Or just come in here for a cute outfit. The feel in here is upbeat an fresh. Almost nautical with the rope drape and cheery sunlight. Clothes are feminine. They have tiny necklaces and fun jewelry. I also love the fringe purses. Price points are reasonable. It's a small space so when it fills quikly be prepared to get boxed in. read more

Super cute. Super affordable. Nuff said. This place is where shopping spree dreams are made of. The jewelry is to die for. Unique delicate pieces at ratchet Forever21 prices but looking and feeling much more expensive. I ended up going in earlier in the day and returning again later. Got my sister her graduate present here and twinning with "matching" crane necklaces. I'll be back for sure. read more

I stopped by Leola Lace yesterday on a whim as I was headed down the block for sushi and happened to park around the corner. Where has this shop been all my life?!?! Although I didn't really look at the clothes and handbags, everything was very cute and the prices were phenomenal. I was drawn to the jewelry at the center table: earrings, necklaces with adorable center pieces, and bracelets. There was also more higher quality jewelry near the register. I ended up buying two necklaces and one ring for a little over $30. The woman working there was very nice, too. I feel like this is LA's best kept secret when it comes to low price, cute jewelry, like the ones I've been drooling over on Etsy. I can't wait to go back there to get more things for myself and gifts for friends and family. read more

Leola Lace recently opened in the Little Tokyo area, and I'm excited to have such a great selection of accessories, clothing, and jewelry. This is the perfect spot for gifts, and accessibly priced accessories to change up your style without having to worry about spending 1/3 of your rent money. It's located conveniently on one of the hottest corners in Little Tokyo just couple stores away from Daikokuya (hey, there are other amazing fooderies in Little Tokyo, folks, just fyi) and it stay open late for a great drop-in shopping while you wait to get your ramen and shredded pork bowl. Searched it up on the good ol' IG, and Leolalace has over 50,000 followers. For me, that means that this is a place with heart, passion, and fantastic style. Check it out, you'll be happy you did. read more

The clothes are cute and trendy, however the customer service always dampers my experience. Also no gift cards are available. I work in DTLA and often buy birthday gifts locally and went there specifically for a gift card to promote the cute shop and it was as if the clerk finally perked up to decline my request. The convenience keeps me shopping there, but customer service needs tremendous improvement. read more

I often stop by this cute boutique whenever I'm in little tokyo. They have cute selections ranging from shirts, sweaters to dresses and accessory pieces that look dainty and trendy. Some downsides are: Parking and the return policy. They tell you that it's full refund within 7 days and exchange only in 14 days. But when I went back to return something in less than 7 days, they wouldn't allow it and I know what I heard. I don't mind the return policy, but would have appreciated it if it was stated and posted more clearly. read more

An extra point for cute, affordable jewelry. It sucks for the owner because I would have originally left 5 stars, but the clerk ruined it for me. Horrible attitude. I'm talking to you, Dodgers shirt. Maybe she was just in a cranky mood due to having to work on Memorial Day weekend. I don't really care. Rude is rude. I asked if they had alcohol or something I could use to clean my earrings as I really wanted to wear them. It's ok that they didn't have any (although very useful if they do). But she looked at me like, "Are you serious?" Fine. I said I could just wash them with soap and water. I then asked for a bag. Again, "I thought you didn't need one because you're wearing them out". What? I explained that I still needed a bag to transport the delicate earrings out of the store. She then gave me a cold attitude when I said "Thank you". Listen, I am not the usual "Let me speak to your manager", stick up the ass, negative Nancy, bitter about life type. But just basic human kindness and positivity is always welcome as a patron. read more

Love this place a lot! This was my first visit today! Fell in love immediately! Pretty fair price and many choices! Unfortunately we were not driving cars and carried too many stuff. Next time! Shopping! read more

Leola Lace is located at the corner of 1st and Judge John Aiso (N San Pedro Street) in the heart of Little Tokyo. It's a small boutique clothing store that sells modern apparel for women. Leola Lace has its own jewelry line. It also carries purses. I really like this store. The owner is very personable. Prices are very reasonable. read more

The sister and I were in Little Tokyo and decided to check out this place since our favorite YouTuber discovered it. It was kind of hard to find for us, but it's on the corner of 1st St. and Judge John Aiso St. (the building with the clock). The store has really cute decor inside! Lots of branches for displaying and nicely lit. The woman working there was really nice and patient with us - we were shopping in there for at least an hour, LOL. They have mostly jewelry, but there's also a good amount of clothing and accessories. Prices aren't bad! Most of the jewelry is $12-15, but they also have some higher quality gold/sterling silver pieces that are $30+. They have a lot of great delicate necklaces - great for the whole layering trend right now! As for the clothing, prices aren't that great, so I'd probably skip on that. Thank you, Leola Lace, for such an enjoyable shopping experience! I ended up getting quite a few pieces and I'm obsessed with them :D read more

Leola Lace - My Leola Lace haul. Obsessed! - Accessories Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I love Leola Lace. They are the best clothing boutique in Little Tokyo by far. I live in the area and always pop in to see what they have. The style here is mostly boho which I love! They carry so many cute necklaces, bracelets, earrings all of which are gold plated and extremely well priced. I would definitely recommend trying on the clothes before buying, but I love all the pieces I've purchased from here. They carry mostly downtown clothing brands, most of which get rebranded when they get shipped off to Urban Outfitters or even Nordstrom. Why pay the marked up price when Leola Lace carries items that are comparable! Definitely worth visiting in if you're in the area. --- Parking: Located on the corner of 1st St and Judge John Aiso, the parking can be tricky. I'd recommend parking in the lot on John Aiso (across the street from Jist Cafe) since street parking in this area can be a nightmare. read more

The service has been a miss for me. I've been back three times so far just because their Instagram accounts keeps drawing me in. I've only been greeted by the staff one out of those 3 times. Nonetheless, it comes down to the merchandise. The pictures they post online look adorable, but when you go in you realize that they pin the clothes in the pictures to make them look smaller. The store's smallest size is a small, which runs on the big side. It varies from style to style, but all the smalls were too big for me. I wish they had better sizing for petite customers. read more

Lovely women's clothing boutique in DTLA/Little Tokyo, thanks to my bff for introducing me to Leola! My visits average at once per month. Quiet, small, and bright store, with great prices and revolving selection of clothing and fashion jewelry. Inventory includes dressier clothes, stuff you can wear to work, and some basics. Quality can vary, overall reliably not-bad. There is usually one staffer so the store is understandably closed randomly for short periods during the day. Parking is a slight pain - there are lots in the area and some (expensive) metered parking. read more

CRAP JEWELRY. I bought a necklace from here, wore it out ONCE the very same day I bought it and by the end of the night all of the gold color had rubbed off. Against my better judgment, I thought maybe I got a bum piece and bought a cord bracelet from them the next time I went. When I pulled it out of the package and put it on my wrist, I realized the bracelet was made in a way that the weight of the beads meant the drawstrings would not stay tight. So the bracelet kept expanding and sliding off my wrist. NEVER again. Don't fall for how cute it is. The jewelry's priced affordably, but I've legit had swap meet/Target/even FOREVER 21 jewelry that was made better and lasted longer. Also, I agree about the shitty attitude. Soooo unfriendly and cold to the point that I felt awkward just being in the store, as if I was imposing on them. Weird vibes. read more

I discovered this lil shop the other day and I DIED. The accessories and prices are amazing. Lots of delicate, minimalist pieces under $20. And some very pretty/cool pieces for the closet as well. The more I looked the more I was saying, "I want everything in here." I only had time to buy one little trinket before my bf had to drag me away... *sigh* I'll be back, hopefully sooner than later. read more

Went here with my gf. She saw this place after a shoutout from a YouTube vlogger. Place is small with tons of unique jewelry. pretty chill place for inexpensive necklaces and bracelets. read more

The cutest boutique in Little Tokyo! The shop carries a selection of women's apparel, accessories, and jewelry. I was particularly drawn to the jewelry, such as delicate, everyday gold necklaces and rings for the classy gal :) Plus: reasonable and inexpensive prices read more

This place is ridiculous. So, SO happy my friend and I stumbled into here the other day. It's super small, but with really high-quality, cute choices of clothing and accessories. Prices are unbelievably reasonable. I walked out with a dress, necklace and earrings for a night on the town with my hubby for under $80. Yes, please. I'll be back! read more

the jewelry here is cute but quality is like forever 21. I bought a necklace here and half of it changed colors within just 1.5 weeks. I inquired about a refund or exchange on their Instagram and they left it on read for over a month. customer service here is terrible inside the store and online. read more

There are so many boutiques that try to do it like they do. Leola Lace has such an amazing selection of jewelry and at a great price. The nice staff here also resized the jewelry I purchased on 2 separate occasions so that it would be the perfect fit for me (one bracelet and one necklace). Their selection of clothes aren't as extensive as their jewelry, but it's a small space. I love this place! read more

fuggedaboutit. this is where a good percentage of my ("our" when it comes to my co-workers) bi weekly paychecks go.... and it's goes to this cute lil boutique store that is dangerously close to my workplace. yup yup. they have a nice selection of totes and bags which are not leather but faux leather but still stylish, roomy and handy. i purchased a reversible tote (black on one side and tan the other) for $45 which can pretty much hold everything that I need when commute to work. besides clothes and bags, they also have a very nice selection of dainty jewelry.... from hearts, initials, statement pieces, long and short. Lots of pretty pieces that you can put together with your outfits and layer. most are reasonable too. you can find items from $12 and up. maybe even less. The lady that works there says they receive new items for the store every week which is why we can't stop making multiple visits Lol it's nice to finally find a clothing boutique in Little Tokyo that fits my style and doesn't break too much of my bank account. read more

This store is not open on Sunday. Yelp states it is open, but it is not open on Sunday. The clothes are cute, in a boho boutique way. The sales are great. Just don't come on a Sunday because they are closed. read more

I love this boutique. I've wanted to go for weeks. The dresses are so cute and the prices are good too. I got 2 that were on sale today for 20$ each. The girl was adorable, I asked for some advice and she helped me find some accessorizes for my dresses. I even got back later to get other stuff cause I went to another boutique in Little Tokyo and they weren't that nice so I preferred to spend my money here. The jewelry is lovely too, I got a necklace and two rings. I'll go back for sure!!! read more

Love this place!!! Great prices unique styles and the service is friendly! Every time I go in there I buy something. There is a sale right now great prices. read more

Very cute store with very reasonable prices! My friend and I stumbled across this while waiting for a dinner opening at Daikokuya just up the street. They have a nice selection of clothes and plenty of dainty jewellery to choose from. Best of all, their prices are reasonable! I didn't find anything but my friend walked out with two cute dresses & a pair of earrings for under $100. I would go back if I ever visit LA again! read more

First stumbled upon this place about a month ago. Went in and browsed a bit. Was surprised at the low cost of their clothes, jewelry and handbags. Went back yesterday and purchased the big handbag I was admiring and it was only $45!!! Why to cheap?!?! Because it was not leather...they try to be eco friendly, which also means no leather. Granted, I did not notice if there were any other leather pieces, but I got my purse! Hope they last awhile! read more

Great selection of bass (brass composite?) rings, necklaces and bracelets. The clothes and bags looked cute, but didn't buy any or try any on. 4 stars because the bracelet I purchased broke after a day of wear read more

I stopped in this little shop randomly when I was in Little Tokyo for lunch and was so happy I did! There are tons of delicate little necklaces and rings that are pretty well priced. Most of their dainty necklaces are $12, while rings start at around $10. They also have cute bags and clutches, earrings and clothes that seem to change pretty frequently. I love coming here to get little gifts for my friends...all of whom love what I find for them here! read more

This store is so cute. There's a variety of top, skirts, dresses and jewelry for a great price. It's a hidden gem near little tokyo. I don't live in LA but when I'm in town I'll make sure to make a pit stop. read more

I've walked past this store a few times and finally went in because I had time. They have such a great selection of trendy dresses, tops, rompers, and shorts. The prices are very reasonable too. I've seen very similar items go for a lot more online. The jewelry is also amazing with such a wide selection of unique and dainty pieces. I left with a dress and a lot of jewelry. Highly recommend if you want a new outfit for a night or day out at a low price. I found the customer service to be good and the associate friendly. Some of the other reviews complained about parking, I walked there so didn't have to deal with that but could see it being an issue. read more

Can I PLEASE buy everything here?!?! There's so much cute jewelry and clothing and accessories at great prices! Perfect for gifts and/or treating yourself! Definitely a place to visit when you're in Little Tokyo! read more

Love the clothes here but I am not happy with my experience today. I drove 20min, paid $4 to park, and the store is closed. Sign says "open", Yelp says "open". Not open. I understand that when one person is alone and running a shop, they may need to step away for a few minutes. I walked around for 40 minutes and no one ever returned. Please put up a courtesy sign for your costumers "back in 20" or SOME indication that we aren't waiting around in vain. There is also no phone number listed to call ahead of time which could also prevent such futile expenditures of my time and money. read more
