LA Candie (Los Angeles Candy) was started 4 years ago by Kerriann, a black single mom who is an artist and a librarian.
"I drove cross country from NY to LA about 10 years ago and never looked back. This store is a love letter to LA, my chosen city."
PL: Pre loved are thrifted classic and vintage pieces from the best vintage shops in LA.
FC: Future classics are new pieces we find and love that we know will be closet favorites and future vintage pieces.
OD: Original Design are new pieces that we created using original artwork by myself and community artists.
"I truly believe that good' fashion can make you simply feel good, even in a simple graphic tee. I also believe that good fashion can be affordable."
"Our tagline 'you should be wearing art' is a call to action.
For instance, when someone asks me "why not sell plain black cell phone cases instead of ones designed by local artists', my answer is "if you just wanted a mass produced item, go to a big box seller."
We sell art.
Every piece is hand selected by me, and my main criteria for selection and creation is that it should make you smile when you look at it.
Our next big venture is our sunglass line; "Lacandie Sunnies", which will be debuting in the next couple of months.
"Lacandie Sunnies" has been a labor of love and has been such a challenge.
Living and driving in LA, I quickly realized the importance of a good pair of shades.
Hence, our glasses are all polarized and have UV 400 protection. They are the meeting of style and function.
I get inspiration in some unconventional places, because I just see beauty everywhere and believe it is up to us to see the beauty in everyday things."
