Curbed LA: A Little Famima and Some Waraku Too

A Little Famima and Some Waraku Too
Tuesday, August 1, 2006, by jwilliams

Our Japanese obsessed National Editor emailed us earlier this morning with a find he found on the internet. In addition to the Famima's sprouting up all over the place (and yes, to the two or three of you who've emailed, we have seen the one on Hollywood Blvd. and yes, we can't wait till it opens), there is a new Japanese brand hitting our shores. Via Cool Hunting, we now learn of Waraku on Abbot Kinney which is importing Japanese "limited edition" and hard-to-find gear to our shores. The shoe and shirt selection looks masterful, providing Nike Air Sabaku's and the clothing brand Namitatsu. We will be there this weekend. 1225 Abbot Kinney Blvd., Venice, Ca 90291.

That's a cool jacket. Can you pick one up for me when you go?

Waraku has been open for over a year. For an east sider, that and Tortoise across the street are enough reason to venture to the west side.

I went to the H+H Famima!! last night to see what all the fuss was about. Pretty cool place. I only left with a box of crackers that the missus wanted, but I plan to return often for lunch. Seaweed salad in a little plastic container? Yum!!
