They offer products that are made from ethical and renewable sources and have changed my life; I want work towards creating zero-waste. I wanted to purchase quite a few items but: #onabudget and I was also traveling and had to ensure everything I did buy could fit into my suitcase. SO, I opted for some reusable/washable "paper" towels, an eco dryer ball from friendsheep, and the very wonderful Poppy & Pout Island Coconut lip balm. I know Little Salmon offers free delivery within a 10-mile radius of their shop in the Elmwood Village and that I can also purchase online but they've inspired me to find a sustainable/zero waste store in Los Angeles and I cannot wait to continue to work towards an incredible lifestyle. Thank you, Little Salmon, for your incredible mission and all that you do!

Stepping into Vania and David's shop was a breath of fresh air. The unique, handmade jewelry and…read morebags truly caught my attention. I loved chatting with the owners, their passion is unmistakable.

I was not expecting to fall in love with this store and its owners - but I totally did! I am super…read morepassionate about local businesses run by people who are creative and passionate. And that is Vania and David to a T. The first time I went in, my friend and I declared that we were "just window shopping" and we had no intention of buying anything. We had actually been in the store next door (which we wandered into after seeing their sign from Ashker's...spoiler alert where we had spent the afternoon lounging....but I digress....) Anyway, so we had no idea that Vania and David was there until David invited us in to check out the store. And I'm so glad he did. We had a blast wandering around, asking questions, checking out the leather goods and jewelry that Vania designs herself and much of which she makes in house. They've had a bunch of movie appearances so it was fun to see items from the store in the movie screenshots. I love people who put Buffalo on the map! Of course the window shoppers couldn't help themselves and we each bought something - my friend some beautiful citrine earrings and me a bracelet, which Vania customized for me while we chatted. Most recently I went in to buy birthday presents for two very special people. I told Vania what I was looking for and what my budget was and she was so sweet about helping me find the perfect gifts for both of my friends. And when my friends opened the gifts they were beside themselves in love. This is definitely not an inexpensive store. It's the kind of place that you go when you want something nice. If you want a chaka, go to the thrift store. If you want a piece of jewelry or leather that is also a piece of art, then check out Vania and David. And tell them that Kate the window shopper sent you!
