Bought a pair of SOP collaboration boots with White's Boots for $700. This was my first purchase…read morefrom the store. The boots arrived quickly, and I absolutely love them. They look great and feel high quality. The order was supposed to include two pairs of laces and a kiltie. While the laces were included, the kiltie was missing. I reached out to SOP, and Brandon was responsive and said they were in the mail, but they never arrived. It's now been over two months. Really disappointed with SOP. This was my first purchase and will most likely be my last. When you're spending $700 on boots, you expect everything that's supposed to come with them.

Initially, I was a little scared to go in because of all of the reviews-- Upon my first visit, I…read morejust browsed, and there was some dude hanging around who told us to put our phones away. Eh, that's fine, I was expecting that (My friend wanted to look something up and forgot about the rule), but I suppose that guy did give us an uncomfortable feeling. However, I went in a second time with a different friend- During Covid- So I emailed/called first to make sure they were open. Richard was so nice! He had a lot of knowledge to share about certain products we were looking at. Other people have had odd experiences, but ours was amazing. He had just gotten in a new shipment of tea from Kyoto, and he actually made some for us and we chatted about tea, and his friends in Japan. He even showed us his new shop next door filled with furniture he's working on, which was all so cool. The vibe is just so well-lived in "wabi-sabi". Honestly, I had a great time. I do hope people just remember to respect that they have rules and conduct expectations- Not unlike Japan. Follow and have manners, and you'll be treated accordingly. (:

I've been shopping here for a few years now. I especially love it for this last minute gifts that…read moreare thoughtful and special. I read a few of the reviews about the owner. I miss the days when people appreciated character. Especially shop owners. He may be a bit eccentric and sometimes direct (with cute dog in tote) but I feel like it adds to the charm and experience of it all. This store is an experience. Very special. I feel like yelp has created an unhealthy dynamic of people expecting 5 star treatment everywhere they go and for workers to act as slaves. Personally... the grumpier, more eccentric, or offbeat a shopkeeper is the more I love it. It's what us LA natives grew up with and it gives a place character and authenticity. If people have issues with character other than "hello how may I serve your pretentious entitled self today?" They should be shopping in a different neighborhood such as Beverly Hills. Regardless of what anyone says, this shop has the most beautifully curated collection of fine Japanese treasures and I will be a lifelong customer. I just brought two of my friends in today and we were treated so wonderfully and the two gems working were knowledgeable and helpful from the moment we walked in. Not to mention we had a very babbley baby in tow and it didn't seem to bother them at all! My last note: if anyone decides to research Japanese traditions and customs it isn't all that outrageous that phones are asked to be put away during your visit. It really takes away from the experience of it all. My suggestion/tip... go in, phone away, connect with the people, sit in silence, appreciate the craftsmanship of these incredible items... just put your western everyday distractions and habits away for a short time and you will leave this place feeling a sense of calm and happiness. It's really something to be appreciated. I hope New High Mart is around forever!

The space offers eclectic options for lots of different styles, but more importantly - they offer SIZING for most/all body types - which is uniquely uncommon. The price point is fine, most items in a 30+ range. I LOVE their jewelry selection, tons of good options and unique pieces. lastly the staff is very engaging and welcoming, another sadly unique quality. They only offer trade for what they buy from community, but I feel the relationship with the sellers reflects the quality of items they are bringing into the space.

Pros: Very organized (separated by category, color, and men/women), unique items (they take time to…read morecurate items that you may not find elsewhere), and good quality (items seem highly satisfactory to almost new). Service workers are usually friendly. One of the better thrift stores on the street. Cons: Price (some pieces may not be worth the price and you could be better off buying some shirts or other items new) and you could have trouble donating your items there as they could be selective in what they choose to keep. Note: There is metered parking.

They specialize in Latinx influenced women's tops, accessories, & jewelry, which are designed by the owners. The shop provides a community space where local artist can showcase their work, so you'll also find handmade candles, soaps, essential oils, creams, and even little plants from local independent crafters. I stop in occasionally to see what is new or pick up unique gifts for friends. A while back, I purchased a photo of taken by Danell of the Highland Park Theatre snapped from the alley across the street that is now the patio for HomeState. My brother and I used to go to that theatre when we were kids. I recently came here for the Toast of the Souls event in honor of Dia de Los Muertos. Noelle designed a beautiful alter to honor loved ones. There was a DJ and reps from Hornitos Tequila serving up complimentary cocktails for patrons to enjoy while they shopped. I enjoyed conversing with Noelle & Danell and the locals who lived nearby. I also purchased some holiday gifts.
