    See the owners response below. Just bad business.

    The costumer service and owner are awful (See my previous post) unfortunately my husband purchase a $200 gift certificate for me over the holidays. I hate that I have to use it but the money has already been spent so i will donate the fabric purchased with this certificate to under privileged children at a local sewing studio. I am fortunate to have the funds for my sewing hobby. The owner would not help me with my new machines. I went elsewhere for the help I needed and will NEVER walk in this store again. If you don't value the people that shop in your store what is left?

    Now that Joann's is closed, I've been looking for a new place to pick up my fabrics -- welp, this is it! There are so many beautiful fabrics here and the staff were so welcoming. They also had a fun sewing class going on that I want to check out. I live in Koreatown and thought the drive was definitely worth it. I'll be back! REGARDING MASKS: yes, they are required BUT if you don't have your own, they have bowls filled with premade masks for adults and children. They won't turn you away and they were very sweet about it.

    I was looking for some loose buttons for a craft project and wanted a location that had a selection…read moreof individual loose buttons and this place had exactly what I was looking for, right as you walk in. The store itself had everything you could possibly be looking for, for a sewing project or anything related. Their selection of trims was incredible and they also had patches and other items, yarn as well. They also had many many rolls of different types of fabrics, and they also offer clothing modifications. The best part, in my opinion, was their shop dog, who was so incredibly friendly I spent more time petting him than I did browsing around the store. He was standing right outside of the store, so if you're wary of dogs , even though he's so friendly, it is good to note. The store is right on Lincoln Blvd and the parking situation might be difficult if the front areas of the store already have cars there. There is a small lot next to the store but it might be reserved for the restaurant next door. I parked in the residential area right next to the store, so I did not notice if the lot was specific to the restaurant only. The staff was very helpful and friendly as well. Was fun to just browse all of their items and it was nice to have a dog to pet!

The man working…read moreat the register, who may have been the owner, screamed at a woman and forced her to leave after overhearing her speaking about being Israeli with another person . His behavior was enraged, hostile, threatening.and very scary . The most horrifying part was when the woman asked him, "Are you kicking me out because I am Jewish and Israeli?" and he answered, "Yes, you are proving my point." That was not a misunderstanding. That was blatant antisemitism and discrimination. He was so aggressive that I genuinely feared he might physically attack her. I did not step in because the situation felt dangerous. What I witnessed was open antisemitic harassment against a Jewish Israeli woman. It was disgusting, frightening, and completely unacceptable. No one should ever be screamed at, humiliated, and thrown out of a business because they are of a certain race or religion. A couple minutes following this incident, the woman returned and politely asked to pick up her belongings which she left at the store probably due to her fear of being attacked . When the worker saw her - he became enraged and screamed at her to leave - refusing to give her - her staff. She said she will call the police and the man replied "i don't care - call whomever you want" She once again said she is calling the police and complaining about his business to the city and he finally gave her what she forgot when he kicked her out of the store . I am still shocked and shaking thinking about it, and I will never return. I hope this lady file a police report because this was clearly a hate crime and the store worker is also violating

Rimmon's is a very unique shopping experience in that it is not a traditional retail store -- they don't have regular, open/closed at set hours business structure, which is why you must call first. In today's world, a store that is a family run one of a kind gem is like a unicorn. In this case, a magical fabric unicorn for all who love beautiful materials. Do not come here expecting mass produced pillow forms, upholstery or run of the mill kid costume fabric. Come here because you want something special at a price that won't give you a heart attack. Be prepared to hunt for treasures, and if you see something you love, BUY it, because most likely if you don't, someone else will. The family that owns and operates Rimmons are lovely. I read the two negative reviews, and to me, I perceived the reviewers as the problem. Too many people are used to cookie cutter chain stores run by people that have no connection or care for the business. You will not find that here. Each time I go, I feel like I am being welcomed into an extension of their home, in a way, and feel fortunate indeed that such places still exist in the world.

They were very helpful and personable, providing jaw-dropping recommendations for the project I was working on. Note: make an appointment and be prepared to find treasures in boxes and under bolts. You are unlikely to find more than 5 yards of the same fabric so come expecting to find gems for smaller projects. I'm so delighted with the fabric Ron helped me find and will be returning as often as my budget will allow.

Giant Robot formerly published a bimonthly magazine from 1994 to 2011. There is also an extension store called GR2 Gallery (2062 Sawtelle Blvd) located less than a block away from the main store and GR2 mainly focuses on art exhibits while also selling a limited selection of gift items like Japantown/Sawtelle mugs. [Parking]: Parking is always difficult to find in Sawtelle. Visitors can circle around the neighborhood for street parking (I got lucky and found a spot on Beloit Ave just a block away) or try validated parking at Marshalls or Nijiya Market Sawtelle Store. [What to see here]: The shop offers fun housewares, gifts (e.g. Rolife 3D Puzzles), stationery items (a very small selection), T-shirts, varsity jackets, hats, art books, art prints, plushies (e.g. Miffy and Snoopy), and toy figures (e.g. Smiski blind boxes). What really stood out to me were pins, some of the unique jackets, and the Japantown/Sawtelle mugs. Please note that the store limits entry to 8 guests at a time. [Conclusion]: While I can't say the store sells gifts that fit everyone's taste, the shop has cultural significance and deep roots in Asian American pop culture. It is worth a stop for anyone visiting Sawtelle. P.S. - This is also where Uglydolls originally started.
