Shop LA Original at The Library Store

DTLA Rocks Glasses Set 3 Crop

The creative culture of Los Angeles is thriving and what better way to celebrate our vibrant community than with a new platform to showcase our city’s diverse makers. Earlier this month, Mayor Eric Garcetti announced the launch of a pilot program, LA Original, to support our local creative economy and manufacturing through branding special LA products. With a logo, promotional campaign, and line of products from local makers, proceeds will support creative entrepreneur programs across Los Angeles. More than 20 companies and retailers have teamed up to create products that include T-shirts, bags, neckties, phone cases, glassware, skateboards, and jewelry. Products can be purchased online at laoriginal.com, at the Westfield Pop-Up Store, and at The Library Store–the only brick-and-mortar shop selling these special products throughout the program run!
