Chic in LA: Kendall Conrad
by habituallychic
01 . 23 . 12My trip to Los Angeles was so scheduled that I barely had time to breathe but I did manage to find some time to shop. On Saturday, I met a friend at Brentwood Country Mart which couldn’t be cuter. And thanks to the power of twitter, Julia Leach of Chance, alerted me that I had to stop by the Kendall Conrad pop up shop there. I’m so glad she did too because not only did I love the small store design and wall of black and white photos but the fabulous leathergoods. I’m not a girly girl so I prefer clean lined bags and accessories and sometimes even buy those designed for men. Kendall Conrad gets my aesthetic and I seriously could have bought one of everything. The bags feature brass hardware influenced by equestrian accouterments and her Spanish heritage which extends to a jewelry line of rings and bracelets. I ended up buying the Esclava chocolate leather and brass cuff bracelet but I have a feeling that I’m going to be ordering the Maquillaje make up bag in white leather and a laptop case before long. She even designs items for dogs and men. (I so want to make a joke that they are the same but will refrain.) I was also beyond surprised to find out that no stores in New York carry Kendall Conrad. Some chic shop owner needs to get on that!

I’m so glad I had the chance to catch up with you this morning 🙂
Oh wow! I live in LA and didn’t know about this store. It’s beautiful! I want all the art AND that desk.
I live in LA and had never heard of this beautiful shop. I am in love with the art…and that desk…and the bags. Thanks for hipping me to such a snazzy place!
She has a permanent store in Venice on Abbott Kinney that is fantastic! I swing by every time I’m in LA. Her bags are truly great.

Omigosh what an incredibly AMAZING store! I could live there & the peonies are beautiful 🙂
how funny, I was just shopping at the Brentwood Mart this weekend and didn’t see this shop (sadly)! How lovely, and finally a good use of that space (was looking so uninspiring for years).
