Haute Hippie opens first West Coast boutique
Haute Hippie is set to officially open its first West Coast boutique on Monday, just in time for the Christmas season.
The label, established in 2008, offers a sophisticated collection of bohemian women’s wear inspired by a “global nomad’s lifestyle.†The new shop in West Hollywood is the brand’s fourth boutique -- the other three are in New York City.
“There is no other place that represents our brand as [strongly] as West Hollywood due to its history and culture,†Chief Executive Jesse Cole said in a news release.
Company founder and creative director Trish Wescoat Pound echoed the sentiment. “It is the easy, laid-back lifestyle of Los Angeles along with the glamour of the red carpet that I find so inspiring,†she said.
The new boutique is at 8605 W. Sunset Blvd. It’s open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday.
