If you’re all about getting a bargain these days, then a trip to LA should definitely be on your radar. Following are a few of the more well-known areas where bargains galore can be had by all:
- Fashion District: While most of the business being done in this area is between wholesaler and reseller, retail shopping is also a part of the landscape. There are over 1000 stores that sell to the public at wholesale prices (which means bargains up to 70 off retail pricing). Stores within the fashion district are independent which means you’ll not see major retailer names; but you can bet a lot of the merchandise can also be seen in those same major retailer’s windows.
- Flower District: This area is focused predominately along 8th Street (in the Fashion District) and the 700 block of S. Wall Street and affords virtually every type of cut flower, potted plant, and dried and silk flowers that you would find in major floral retailers all at bargain prices. The Los Angeles Flower District is the largest wholesale flower district in the US.
- Jewelry District: This district is widely known for offering a vast array of precious gems, watches, and all types of fine jewelry at process up to 70 below normal retail. There are over 5000 vendors to choose from so you’re sure to see just about every piece of jewelry that is available for purchase all in one neat area between 5th and 6th Streets along Broadway Avenue, Hill Street, and Olive Street. Take your time while here and enjoy the sparkle!
If time permits, check out the fabric district or the children’s wear district. With the economy being what it is these days, maybe a trip to LA for the sole purpose of shopping isn’t so unusual!
