Time to Close the Books on Shops That Are No More

Before the heavy-hitting fall season is upon us, let’s clear out the files.

First, you can delete Seymour Fashions until further notice. However, owner Lauren Seymour tells us the “dream jeans” will still be made for those who have purchased them in the past. Just call with the size and color. (818) 705-1911.

For lithographs, posters and fine art, Edward Weston has always been on the bargain hunter’s list. The retail store in Northridge has closed, but the collection is still available by appointment. (818) 885-1944.

For those of you who made the trip to Nancy Calhoun’s outlet, I apologize. It seems the place has closed, so just delete this bargain source from your notebooks.

Also, we have lost Encore Sports in Toluca Lake. From now on, the company will be doing only fund-raisers with its upscale active wear. (818) 760-8979.

The retail outlet in Thousand Oaks for the Irish Crystal Co. has also closed..

San Fernando Valley shoppers are missing Past Perfect, one of the area’s better women’s resale stores, which closed a few months ago.

Bailey’s in Pasadena has shut the doors of Backstreet for women’s apparel but continues to operate Bailey’s Men’s Resale, one of L.A.’s only men’s resale stores, at 109 E. Union St. (626) 449-0201.

Sara’s Designer Boutique has undergone several changes during the last few years but is now back to its original location with the focus on quality women’s apparel. 18560 Sherman Way, Reseda. (818) 342-9490.

Weekend Supersale: The Half-Yearly Blowout Sale starts Tuesday at the Toni Marie Outlet. Everything in this local manufacturer’s outlet store, including spring and summer separates for women, will be 60% to 75% off regular retail. 18399 Ventura Blvd. (818) 776-0130.
