Dean Store
When is the last time you ran into a cool leather shop? Leather shops bring to mind either a haven for bikers or a generic leather store found in the local mall. Dean, a Sunset Junction boutique sells creative and colorful purses, belts, messenger bags, watch bands and more — all of which your grandpa or your fashionista self would delight in wearing.In 1999, Dean was the leather child of LA artisan Danny Dean Davis when he sought to find a wide leather watch band that had both vintage and modern sensibilities. As they say, necessity is the mother of invention and it spurred Davis on to creating an entire line of leather goods using construction techniques like the whip stitch band of the past and melding them with fashion forward design and color.
Another thing that sets Davis’ shop a pasture apart from other leather shops is Dean hand makes everything on site and even has a solution for those that have environmental issues buying leather. An entire section of Davis’ creations are made from those out-dated leather jackets from thrift stores you wouldn’t be caught dead wearing now. You can find Dean at Barney’s too, but the shop is a worth a visit for the full sensory experience: leather aroma, tactile suede, and rich colors for the eye to behold.
