LAista corset-lovers: Farthingales, which is the mail-order supply house for corset supplies, is opening a storefront in Los Angeles. Details:
Farthingales is opening a US location to better serve our many American customers. Our new location is a retail store on Pico Blvd in Santa Monica, California. Farthingales L.A. Inc will be a bit different from our Canadian operation but we plan to offer the same great quality in product and service. The new location will offer not only corset making supplies but ready made historic corsets and ready made fashion corsets as well as classes.
We'll have day and evening classes for everything from making your own corset to hand embroidery for costume and corset embelishment.
We'll also offer on-line mail order to make shipping faster and more cost effective to all American addresses.
Retail store opens July 20th at 3306 Pico Blvd. just west of the Santa Monica Freeway. There's plenty of free parking around the back! Look for the black and white stripe awning. Note: The shop will be CLOSED August 4th, 5th,6th and 7th as all employees will be involved in Costume College.
Web ordering should be available by August 4th. VISIT our Farthingales L.A. web site regularly to keep up to date with our progress. [link]
