Shop Local | Brigitte & Stone

April 13, 2016 Olivia Shapiro

I was feeling less than hopeful about shopping in L.A. It seemed as though there weren't any stores I could shop at without having to concern myself with where the clothes originated from. Why are restaurants now offering non-GMO, vegan, gluten free, etc options, and why aren't clothing stores offering something of the like? It wasn't until my friend, Jacqui, started to post all of these amazing photos working at this super cute boutique on her Instagram. She kept tagging brands that I recognized as being made in L.A. Knowing she lived in the area, I had to find out what this store was all about. Luckily for me the store she works at, Brigitte and Stone, is located really close to where I live! She and the amazing, Golriz Tavakoli invited me to come play dress up and hang out so I could learn more about the store.

Golriz is an absolute gem! She had no doubts about strictly carrying ethically made clothing. Her tasteful and elegant style radiates through the store's vast selection.

When shopping here, you can guarantee that your purchase was made in an ethical way. For instance, this Mara Hoffman dress is only carried in her store because it's made in India (sweatshop free conditions). However, she is careful when purchasing from Mara Hoffman because only some of her clothing is made ethically (something I did not know). The girl knows her stuff!

She also explained to me some of the (not so shocking) unethical practices used by certain designers to try and sway buyers, like herself, to carry brands in their stores. Without naming names, designers will make samples in L.A. of better quality, display them in shows, and lead people to believe their entire line is made in L.A. when really it's mass produced in China! Thank god for women like Golriz who are educated in this area and refuse to compromise her moral principles like many other of these not-so-chic-boutiques. Her store features brands like, Gladys Tamez, Stone Cold Fox, HolyStone, Flynn Skye, Pfeiffer, Sam & Lavi, Smythe, Rebecca Vallance, Rodebjer, Antonello, and many more!

The store also carries the most incredible collection of vintage jewelry from designers like Tiffany, Buccellati, Cartier, and Van Cleef & Arpels. Her partner, Joya Yadegar, not only curates their entire collection of vintage jewelry, but also collaborates on the namesake, fine, trendy jewelry for the shop.

If I haven't sold you on Brigitte & Stone, then you must check them out for yourselves! And since you're all scurrying around town picking up last minute Coachella pieces, then look no further!

It’s been a while since I’ve worked on my blog. The truth is, I wanted to pivot my life and enter the job market in order to fulfill my life long dream of a career in fashion. My blog has been an incredible learning experience, and although I may no longer formally blog, I still want to use this platform to discuss sustainable and ethical fashion. And although this industry has its faults, change can be made from within. This blog has encouraged me to not only make conscious choices about my consumer behavior, but it also forced me to seriously consider the company I’d ultimately work for (despite the lack of viable options). I knew I wouldn’t compromise my personal beliefs when searching for the right position. Fortunately for me, after many months of the grueling post grad job hunt, I found my dream job working for a brand whose production methods and company ethos directly align with mine and those of the sustainable/ethical fashion community. Our pieces are gorgeously hand crafted with detail, design, and ethics in mind. If you’ve never heard of @amaioswim before, now you have. We’re worth the follow.
