5 stars in closing I am bummed y'all Moskatels is closing soon It's a fantastic store with a huge selection and a spacious facility. Sadly, they're going out of business, but that means everything is 60% off! It's definitely worth a visit before they're gone. Don't miss out on these amazing deals!" read more

I loved coming here fall season and seeing all the Halloween decorations out. Came here after browsing The Original LA Flower Market which is literally next door. My friend who took me here is a crafter so it was just fun walking up and down the isles with a cart looking at each section talking about all the projects we could do. We got fun pots for our plants we got from the flower market, gifts for an upcoming bridal shower that was Halloween themed and yarn for my crochet addiction. Yarn was mainly acrylic in the brand of Loops and Threads, but there was many colors choices. I was lucky and happened to get in on the 30% off sale and picked up some yarn that would have been more expensive say at a Joann's or Michaels. If you're a crafter do check out this store in DTLA there is a lot nearby for $8 you can park. read more

This is my go to for everything party or holiday. I would rate it 5 stars but the area around this store is less than ideal. The parking structure next to the building is perfect for easy in and out access. The store also validates so that's cool. I live in Orange County but come all the way over here because I know they have exactly what I need. I come here in days when I'm not throwing a party just to see what they have . Employees are really friendly even though they open up at the crack of dawn. Prices are better than most party stores and my kids love shopping here. read more

Took my neighbor and myself out on a #Nurserycrawl July 4th weekend. We about LOST OUR DAYUM MINDS!! Plant pots can be so expensive but not here sure... they have a LOT without the drainage holes so it can be tricky depending on what sort of plant you have. I suggest you look around a bit on the retail side and you'll find a variety of those to choose from. Also discovered the inexpensive decorative planter stands and 3 Tiered Dessert carriers - can also be used for tea sandwiches as well. Park in the parking garage connected to Moskatels and just get it validated. Especially in this summer heat... if you plan it just so you can scootch out and wander through the flower mart for plants! I had no trouble with the service of the staff here BTW they were nice each time I have visited. Respectfully Reviewed. read more

I was having a good shopping experience until Julia felt to shame me for wanting to know how many panels are in the box. Umm the display showed 1 panel so I picked up 3 boxes why would I play myself if your manager is saying their is 4 panels in the box. Very rude and had so much to say under her breath. I had to tell her about herself.. and it felt a little discriminatory because the lady before me.. she just decided to make the charge 99cent because the other associate was taking to long but here she is dragging me along. This was my first time here.. I did some walking around and this isn't even the best store just one of the biggest read more

TIP: The validate parking if it's right upstairs. Less one star because it was confusing because the front part of the store is for wholesale members (10% off the listed price I was told). The back is where you have to go to pay for your products as a non member (sticker price). But nobody told us that and wasn't as visible. The back has more cashiers and there can be a line during weekends. They do not accept military discounts like Michael's does though. Double check that they are charging you the right amount as they may scan the wrong stuff twice (ie a large pot twice) read more

Wow this store has it all. It's like a Michaels/ hobby lobby on steroids. If you want to do a craft or have an idea this is the place to come to. The store is immaculate and extremely well decorated and the assortment is by no means small. The only downside is that it's actually more expensive than michaels and no one greets you or when you need help they seemed bothered. It gets 3 stars for great selection but it could of got 5 if it had a culture that embraces customer service. read more

It's been a long time since I've gone but the prices are high and not much variety. There was a lot of Halloween decor but not much on other crafts. read more

I'm sad store will officially close Jan 25th, I've come here for years for all my events. Thanks for the memories

If you like Michael's- you'll likely enjoy this spot, too. It's a little less organized but has the basics. One big point- it has decidedly less helpful employees than Michael's. They always seem to want to talk to each other and if you ask for help, aka interrupting their conversations to ask- they seem bothered in a way that transcends time itself. During the holidays they have a pretty cute selection of wrapping paper. Their ribbon section is nice as well. I mostly make paper crafts and wish they had open stock paper, but their selection of cardstock is good. I generally come back every few months. It's closer than Michael's and with these gas prices- I'll make it work! read more

Had zero expectation of finding a super festive array of displays today, boy were we pleasantly surprised! Found an expandable bamboo trellis and up to 8' bamboo poles in a variety of widths starting at under $5!!!! I use the trellis and poles to provide a barrier from predator birds and our fish pond. So many decorations, a super small Chanukah display, but all in all a good variety of colors to suit anyones anything! read more

I simply love coming here. They have everything. The only problem I have is that it is so overwhelming. So many things and I have a really hard time focusing on the project at hand. Love the seasonal sales too. Wish I have a lot of storage. read more

It's a basically a Michael's , it's just in downtown Los Angeles. It's expensive. Very. If you come here because of the floral supplies, there's many places in the area with a better selection and prices. Your mass merchants, online, and even the dollar stores have lots of crafts at better prices. Parking is only validated if you spend $10 or more. It will cost you if you're only on an exploratory visit for your event. The parking attendant only accepts cash. It's 2024! Most people don't carry cash. read more

The variety of items here is astounding, you can find anything from balloons to home decor. It's a huge store and it has almost everything you can think of when it comes to party decorating. However, the prices are not affordable at all. Comparing it to similar items found at Tj Maxx or Marshalls, the pricing here is definitely inflated, even with their sales. read more

A great store with many options! It's located across from the flower district, has its own parking lot which appeared clean and safe and loaded with every party/design item you need. Workers were extremely helpful. Will visit again and again. read more

They have everything there! Perfect place for a prop store. Lots of stuff for set deck or an art coordinator

Where in the world can you find X-mas stuff around December 24 when most businesses have already cleared their shelfs and reorient to Valentine's day, Easter or 4th of July ?? Moskatels has it. Also, in quite a shady neighborhood not too far off Skid row, but sometimes it is worth to leave the comfort zone. It was definitely worth - not only did I get X-mas lights but also for the fun could stroll through endless isles with such an amazing collection of kitschy but also very reasonable stuff. Definitely a place to remember should I not have thought of buying some necessities in time ... read more

I was so disappointed to see everything so over priced. I went in thinking it would be so much cheaper than the chain stores, it was not. It had tons of stuff but nothing that caught my attention. I'm not going to tell people to avoid this place, because I don't want to do that but just note, you aren't saving money. read more

I was told about Moskatel by a friend of mine who is a great interior decorator, he always shops there and I needed some items for my daughter's wedding! What an amazing place its like Michael store times 100! lol Every isle is so nearly stocked and its very easy to self help. The front of the store has set of cashiers and so does in the back! Oh if u meed to use the restroom, use Moskatels, it's the cleanest you find in downtown LA! lol Also they have huge parking above and all the level to the roof! I think I got 2 hrs free parking with purchase which helped me alot since ingot what I needed and had enough time to go to couple of other stores near by! Oh by the way if your are a photographer enthusiast, go to the roof of the parking lit, there you get unobstructed view of downtown! you welcome:)) read more

If you're willing to risk your life to come here then more power to you . If you do survive the scetchy area , that's awesome but the risk is not worth it . It's still overpriced and the quality' of the items are simply out of date . Yes they do have a lot the choose from , especially if you're going to have a party but on my visit I was not impressed . I think I'll skip the treacherous walk and smell of urine . read more

I have been a customer for more than 30 years. It broke my heart to find out it is going out of business. I have purchased some of the most beautiful decorations from Moskatels over the years. Nothing better to compare with the quality and beauty of each and every item. My favorite decorations were from Halloween and Christmas. What will I do now??? There is no other place I know of where the type of decorations they displayed are for sale. They were the only reason I would risk even going into L.A. I live in Ontario. Even though it was at least a 35 minute drive to get there, it was worth it. I will sooooo miss them. read more

Everything you need for every holiday! And, a lot of stuff you don't need but will want. It's worth the drive, I promise.

Will Never shop here again. The employees here are zombies. Probably because of the hours they work but they are so out of it. When I checked out I literally could have walked out of the store with over half a cart of stuff that the cashier was so unaware to. I handed it all to her to make sure she rang it up. Never once did she go over return policy with specific items that were "final Sale". She seemed overwhelmed and not trained. Whenever I go to the wholesale side they can never find my account and its so frustrating and such a waste of time but they are so understaffed and their lines take forever. Let me rephrase , the quality of their staffing is piss poor. There are people there working but they are not efficient, or quality employees. Today, When I went to do the return they said these unused items were not returnable, but the manager approved it because they never stated it. Then another busy body employee butted in and took it off the receipt and then I had to fight to get my money back and tell them to leave us alone. They had the audacity to not validate my parking after I spent 4k dollars on saturday, saying I have to buy something . I only returned a couple hundred dollars of things I did not use. The prices are insanity here. You can go to hobby lobby, Joannes or other craft stores and not get taken advantage of. Moskatels is like the mafia of crafting. I will never shop here again. There goes 10 years of business / 20 years of future business. I am a production designer, drag queen, and very crafty person and spend my life's budget on supplies. The cashier really did not give a s*** today being so petty. Well good on you guys. your lack of customer service just lost you a lifelong customer. read more

Sad they are closing , they have the best stuff for small business and Christmas decorations!

I was really excited to go to this shop because I needed some bulk craft items at cost. I was expecting to leave with bags of stuff, but that wasn't the case. I left with nothing. This shop is actually more expensive than Michael's craft store and by more expensive, I'm talking 10-20 dollars more (per item). Don't waste your time, go to Michael's or buy bulk items on Amazon. read more

Pros: -If you are into arts and crafts then this place is for you. It's a crafter's heaven -One stop shop for ANY project (weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, quinces, holidays, themed parties) -They have a whole section of flowers for beautiful displays -Made for any and all occasions that needs decorating -Cheap prices. They have a lot of sales and you can find a lot of deals -Allows you to be creative with what you want to make -Very organized CONS: -Must pay for parking -Parking may be difficult read more

Moskatels - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Pros. They carry a lot of items which are well stocked. Great place to buy in bulk. Con. So much more expensive than Michael's arts and craft stores. At least at Micheal's you can use coupons and most of the time, there is a sale going on. Even on line. I do like Moskatel's because of so many choices but also excellent place to go to if you need to purchase in bulk for any special event. I just wish they would lower their prices especially being located in the center of LA where things are suppose to be cheaper. read more

I could get Lost with all the options for decorations for your home or parties. And the value is always worth the drive.

If you're from LA and a GenX, you already know Moskatels is the original Michael's. Now, it's like Michael's on steroids. This place is a crafters/diy-ers dream. They have EVERYTHING. You like floral arrangements? They've got artificial flowers in every color (and size). Need party decorations? They got it. How about a little knitting project? Yarn, needles, books. Cupcakes need a little oomph? They have the Wilton sparkles. I like Moskatels for inspiration and ideas. I went looking for one thing and came out with a basket full (I'm working on a big project) Parking can be a little tricky. It's an old building so the parking lot is kinda tight. Park on the roof if you have a big truck. Parking validation for 2 hours with purchase. The down side is their hours...6 AM - 3 PM. And return policy (5 days). It's okay cause when they have a sale, it's GOOD! Go after major holidays for deeper discounts. Happy shopping!! read more

Love this place! Came for Christmas decorations and found so many other crafts! Highly recommend if you're looking to be creative.

Walked through this store because will parked in the parking garage that was attached to it. My focus was the fabric district but as soon as I walked into this store, I wanted everything. This is like a crafters paradise. They have lots of seasonal products and can't wait to see what they will have in stock for Halloween. They have a great section for Cricut items which I enjoyed. They also have lots of artificial foliage to create your own wreaths, bouquets, etc. if you are getting married, I would suggest coming here to look at ideas for centerpieces and other decor. read more

Such a cool creative spot! Definitely not in the nicest part of town but once your inside it's like Michael's and Joanns on steroids!! It's amazing it's definitely a huge store so you will be there minimum 30 minutes just to walk the whole thing but they have so much variety it's amazing!!!! Parties home decor just everything! read more

They have everything you're looking for. This is a one stop shop for all your party supplies!

If you need any arts and crafts supplies, moskatels is your place. Specifically my goal was to find rolls of crepe paper here to make giant roses. They have a good assortment of colors and the prices aren't bad. Some places where you can order online try to over price their stuff. I think for a 3yd roll it was less than 5 bucks. My only issue was that one of my rolls was short. I could get two roses from each roll but the roll that was short I only had enough to make one. So unfortunate. We sure to compare your rolls if you buy this stuff. read more

Omg I feel like this place is craft heaven. I went to buy some last minute things for my daughter's birthday party. I was in shock with how much stuff they had and their pricing was great! read more

Cooool!!! I honestly have not heard of Moskatels until I started working in Downtown LA and oh man! Can this place be any cooler?!? This place is like arts and crafts smorgasbord! An Arts & Crafts-Creative haven! From Glue sticks, glitters, spray paints and thistle, seasonal decors and many things that some I don't even know what the heck it's for! There are two sections in the store; wholesalers and retail, if you have a sellers permit then it is your lucky day, shop away like you are in Costco as the discount can be quite significant! However, The retail price of items aren't too bad, it is considerably cheaper than buying at a specialty arts and crafts shop. They have validated parking which is GREAT!! especially in this part of LA, I swear, it is one of the best things about this store! In general this store is pretty darn cool- there is seriously tons of inventory and surprisingly this warehouse is huge! The staff are very friendly and most of them will take you directly to the aisle where you'll find what you need. 2 thumbs up to Moskatels (LA) read more
