If you want to see everything that L.A. shopping is known for, there is no better place than Melrose Avenue Shopping District, especially on a Sunday afternoon. You can find expensive showrooms between La Cienega and Crescent Heights (Fred Segal, Miu Miu). If you are not a brand freak, you can hit one of the reasonably priced boutiques. You really haven't "done L.A." until you have been here. Credit cards accepted vary by store.
Plush Home A lovely showroom that feels and looks like a New York Penthouse or European Apartment. Very friendly staff and unique home accessories. Extremely "Plush".
