Downtown Los Angeles’ Fashion District is a shopper’s paradise. The District, with its thousands of manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, rivals New York’s garment district in size and reputation and is home to the Southern California’s $8 billion a year, trend-setting Apparel Industry.

Located at its center is the prestigious California Mart, the largest fashion and textile facility in the United States. With over 1,200 permanent showrooms, wholesale buyers, distributors, manufacturers and independent sales representatives can chose from more than 10,000 lines apparel, accessories, textiles and home accessories. In addition, the Fashion District is a Mecca for ordinary shoppers. Bargain-hunters throng the streets, especially on Saturdays, primed to snatch-up the latest designs at rock bottom prices.
