Los Angeles Residents Embrace CIRCULAR LIBRARY’s Concept Store Grand Opening on Abbot Kinney Blvd. in Venice, CA Featuring Sustainable Clothing Brands LE CASHMERE and RE;CODE
Location: 1221 Abbot Kinney Blvd., Venice, CA 90291
Engaged Guests Enjoyed Upcycling Workshops, Music, Art Installation, Inspiring Backstories From Lead of the CIRCULAR LIBRARY project of Sustainable Fashion Brands Launched in the U.S. on December 17, 2023.
Sustainable fashion brands LE CASHMERE and RE;CODE made their official debut in the United States from South Korea. Showcased in a coveted location, world-famous Abbot Kinney Blvd. in Venice, CA, the concept store, CIRCULAR LIBRARY, was applauded by consumers, VIP guests and press alike. Not only were guests introduced to sustainable clothing brands, LE CASHMERE and RE;CODE, but they were able to experience the CIRCULAR LIBRARY brand in person.
“We are very excited to open our very first CIRCULAR LIBRARY store in the United States. The store supports the idea of circularity and sustainability, and we really wanted to support the local community by creating experiential workshops. CIRCULAR LIBRARY will double as a communal space for local artist exhibitions, workshops and annual meet-ups, centered around the theme of sustainability and fashion,” said Lead of the CIRCULAR LIBRARY project, Brandon Yu.
The grand opening presented the ultimate experience where guests were guided from an art installation to the vibrant colors of LE CASHMERE. Once educated on the method of gently collecting hair from the sheep, guests were shown functional sustainable textile sculptures being used to support the CIRCULAR LIBRARY store’s centerpiece. Next, some of the most unique pieces of clothing were showcased on the opposite side of the store featuring RE;CODE. The pieces were so unique that many of the items were numbered one of 8 or one of 19 or limited edition.
Upstairs, guests had the opportunity to make holiday ornaments from remaining pieces of material. Even the craft area utilized an oval shaped unused airbag from a car, some of the most durable fabric that several of their backpacks are made from. Complete with a DJ, beverages and passed appetizers, in the upstairs VIP area, guests also had the opportunity to watch the LE CASHMERE sizzle reel showing how the people of Mongolia and refugees are supported through the opportunity this sustainable brand offers.
Abbot Kinney Blvd., in Venice, CA, is a region where sustainable brands like Everlane, Allbirds and Vuori gather to create synergy. Those in this locale have their own tastes and embrace sustainable practices in their everyday lives. CIRCULAR LIBRARY is honored to join these brands in continuing to share information about sustainability. From the brick in the space to the exposed copper pipes, CIRCULAR LIBRARY showcases their very intentional circularity and intention for this concept store to be a place of community, collaboration, culture and sustainable fashion.
