My dad needed a new suit for my cousin's wedding and a friend suggested that we consider coming to Santee Alley, as there were lots of shops selling suits at an incredibly cheap price ($100 for a 6-piece suit). We came towards the end of the day, so most of the shops had started to close. We ended up having to come back a second time!

July 2024 | Downtown LA: Santee Alley is a fun & unique shopping area in the Fashion District! It's always fun looking through the stores! Whether I'm looking for a gown for an event(usually something I'll wear once!), or putting together a costume for Halloween or simply browsing, it's always a great time! I've been coming here for years. One of a Kind: It's fun looking through the stores! There is definitely a variety of stores, which have plenty of every day clothes/dress/shoes/accessories/electronics/ luggage...! My favorites are seeing unique and interesting clothes, styled mannequins, gorgeous gowns and items! It seems that some of the clothing can easily be used for a photo shoot and or music video! I love that it's just something different! Pricing: All over the place, many price points that can easily make it suitable for everyone to shop! It truly depends on what you're looking for. There are stunning gowns that definitely cost more than you would imagine & that will surprise you, as well as dresses easily under $20. Note | Cash is King: Keep in mind that not all of the stores will allow you to try on clothing. Being able to try on clothing has made all the difference when I'm shopping, because I like to know how things fit & call the material fills against my skin. Also, I'm not always in DTLA, as it's quite the distance from the beach; returning items is not worth the drive. Cash is king here and you will often get a great deal if you pay with cash. Parking: Parking garage, meter parking & street parking! Read the signs, as well as the small print with entering a parking garage! Atmosphere: During the week M-F is my favorite time to go, as it's not super busy. The weekends are incredibly busy and lively! Whatever day you decide to go, you will hear a variety of music, see a mix of people, experience a lively atmosphere, a variety of clothing (every day clothing to totally over the top!), food and drink stands, cute animals dressed up and so much more... it's a mixed bag, which I love! Overall: One word that comes to mind is fun! You will pretty much find whatever you have in mind here, as it's a variety of stores for everyone! Plus, I have experienced friendly customer service, which makes shopping even more fun!

100% recommend. If you're in town, and looking to score some goodies, this is your go to. I won't after dark (with my wife and kids) but it is a great family place during the day. Wife got a new purse for an amazing price, we bought some safety apparel for our crews, and headed out a winner. Service is good, Spanish is the primary lang, but you can do very well if you're not fluent. Do t be scared. I recommend.
