History
Established in 2007
Flock Shop came to fruition after many long years of dreaming of owning my very own boutique. As time went on we continued to stock more and more independent artist made goods, acting as a platform for artists to showcase their work.
We’ve since become a destination spot for like minded people in search of non-mass-produced and unique one-of-a-kind products.
Constantly on the lookout, we bring you truly unique and hard to find products. Each item is handpicked with thought adding a personal touch.
Definitely not your run of the mill boutique and the only one of its kind in Chinatown!
Be sure to check out our in-store events & art shows featuring local Los Angeles based artists.

At Flock Shop we love to make you feel at home. I always let my customers know that “trying on” is free and they can look to their hearts content without the pressure of buying.
Whenever a satisfied customer leaves, it renews my energy and passion for what I do.

A day trip to Chinatown would not be complete without stopping in. ?The owners of this place are very welcoming and their passion for what they do really shines through when they talk up the products in the store and the designers who made them.This place has many items created by independent designers and artists; including prints, apparel, tons of jewelry, books, unique greeting cards, etc. ?I would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a fun and unique gift! ?Flock Shop would benefit those who need to have that “one of a kind” item that no one else has. ?I’m definitely hitting up flock shop for my holiday shopping this year.Its amazing how much you can pack into such a small space!
Bastion of hipsterdom in the heart of Chinatown. Home grown, cottage industry type stuff (i.e. book of short stories bound my staples and colored cardstock on a vintage typeface, feathered jewelry) mixed in with ironic eyewear, unique expensive t-shirts. Good for a look, but not sure if i would buy anything here. I guess that’s what makes me a yupster–still in training. Check out the Ooga Booga ?store upstairs–different items, more random.
Best place for something unique. They are the coolest people as well. After Soul Sessions, take a drunk walk there..and not for the munchies, for awesome fashion and Art!!All of their items are handmade by local artists, so even better. Take a gander, you won’t be disappointed..I should know, I’m pretty fresh myself 
This place is paradise! The unassuming storefront understates the oozing charm found inside. All of merchandise hits every point on the cute-to-awesome scale (even their plushies re-ignited my repressed plushie love because they were so friggin’ CUTE). Visit their website but DEFINITELY visit their store. Not only are the owners super-chill and down-to earth, there’s a ton of merchandise on location that you don’t see online 
I am totally obsessed with this ultra cool shop and it’s even cooler owners.Specializing in “artisan” gifts this tiny store is big on unique selections ranging from jewelry to clothes to art. ?I hear that they are going to start carrying vintage clothing soon which literally makes me giddy with excitement. ?One of my favorite designers they currently feature is a woman who retools vintage purses, shoes and wallets with appliques. ?Awesome.I also love that they are a perfect example of how to use social media. ?Every email or post is useful and not shamelessly self promoting. They emailed to let me know they’d be participating in Amex’s small business give away where you could register for a free $25 gift card. ?Score!!Their prices are reasonable and their support of the road less decorated unparalleled.Hurry up with the clothes already!
I love this guy’s artwork! ?As we walked through Chinatown, we found his shop down one of the alleyways. ?He has great artwork, most of it done in Photoshop, but they are so unique and gorgeous that they are worth the money. ?Besides, where else can you get modern, cute mother necklaces, beautiful pieces of artwork for less than 100 dollars for most of the prints? ?There are also ADORABLE mushroom figurines that are kind of expensive, but they are worth it in my opinion. ?If you want unique artwork that kids and adults will love, come here. ?They also carry purses, wallets, and jewelry that are all originals.
Why has everyone given this place 5 stars? Because this store works better than Prozac when it comes to making us happy.Michelle, the owner, is literally the coolest. Ever. She’ll remember your name. She’ll invite you to stuff. She’ll make great jokes. She’ll remember where you work and where you’ve traveled to and what you like to do for fun. She’s a friend you feel totally relaxed around at all times. She’s not fakey or “customer service-y” at all. Just a real, awesome lady.The stuff in the store has to be good or she won’t put it in. She’s totally a supporter of local, talented designers. Even if I can’t afford to buy, I love seeing what people in my city are up to. And the location is so cool. What’s not to love about Chinatown?This was one of the first shops I stopped into when I first moved to LA and it’s still my favorite. Dudes, buy your girlfriends gifts here and they will love you. Prices are affordable, stuff is cool, vibe is perfect.
Here’s the skinny on Flock Shop: ? * For both men and women. ? * Indie designers. ? * Unique, fun, and clever designs. ? * Good price range; a little something for everybody. ? * Some designers use sustainable pocket watches for men, recycled, or eco-friendly materials. ? * Supports artists by hosting regular art shows and events. ? * Welcoming service from owners, Michelle and Chad. ? * Expanded the shop space a few months ago.
wow, 22 straight 5 star reviews. Who am I to kill the streak?Love flock shop. ?I stumbled into this place after some dim sum one Sunday. ?Super tiny place in a great square in the heart of Chinatown, directly next to some great bars and clubs (Drinking/clubbing in Chinatown is well underrated, I always have a great time when I go out at night there)Everything they sell there is really cool. ?It’s a mix of jewelry, apparel, wallets, cases, cool little knickknack things, etc etc etc. and a ton of art. Everything has great design to it, you can tell it was truly made by artists. ?Lots of great art all over the place here you can buy as well. ?I had to stop myself from blowing lots of money here, which I easily could have done. ?I haven’t been here in a good while but hoping to go back this week for their annual funk block party.Flock Shop hosts lots of parties in the square as well. ?Always some great DJs hanging around. Sign up on Facebook and keep track of all the events they put together, especially the funk festival. The woman that ran the place was very friendly and warmly welcomed me to all the events she puts together.Great prices as well!
I discovered this place before I had discovered Yelp and never got around to reviewing it until now. ?The owners Michelle and Chad are totally awesome! ?They are so friendly and easy to chat it up. ?I love the artwork and all the other products (shirts, wallets, jewelry) they sell. ?What I love about this place is they are promoting the work of artists, nothing in the store is mass produced, so you can get some nice pieces that you just can’t readily get anywhere and best of all you are supporting the arts. ?They are located Chinatown in the same plaza with the fountain you throw pennies into dishes for good fortune. Come down and support this store!!
great art with great people! charming place to visit when youre visiting chinatown. they carry original art, art prints, clothing, dolls, toys, jewelry, books, you name it. great for collecting, buying a unique fun gift, or just a little something for yourself. highly recommend visiting this place. very friendly too.
The epitome of what an independent business should be, Flock shop gets five stars and a smile from me.I popped by this afternoon to find that they have recently expanded their Chinatown hideaway to include more room for all of the fun goodies they keep in stock. What a pleasant surprise!The owners are incredibly gracious and warm. The walls are lined with creations from dozens of talented artists, and the shelves are thoughtfully packed with unique items that would make a perfect gift for a special person in your life. Flock has clothing from a variety of designers and artists including the ubiquitous Shark Toof! They also have some clever little greeting cards to go with whatever purchase you decide to make. Jewelry, accessories and a bit of home decor round out the selection. The absolute highlight of the place is the wonderful personality of the owners, Michelle and Chad who remembered me from months and months ago. I challenge you to find businesses that care enough about you to remember not only your face, but what you do for a living and who you were dating the last time you stopped by.There’s not much room for improvement here. Go support this shop!
A teeny boutique chock full of big surprises…handcarved earrings, restyled vintage purses and fedoras, hella funny greeting cards, local artist treats like hand-drawings, silkscreened tees & tiesThe owners are really nice, giving you the background on every artist that made whatever you’re pondering on purchasing. ?Everything seems to have a good story. ?This place was definitely the hidden highlight of my last visit to Chinatown.O and they let my doggie shop there, too. ?I should have an auto-5-star button for that ; )
Yeah, this place is awesome….when it’s open.What gives with the hours of operation?I’ve gone twice “during business hours” and it’s been closed.I even tried to call ahead and see if it was open. Answering machine indicated that regular biz hours would be observed.Not.Not going again.
If you’re looking for something unique and “L.A.” in the true sense of the term, come here. ?It’s a small shop with ?a large, frequently-updated collection of handcrafted and limited items.The staff is super nice, and they always have friends stopping by.I picked up these awesome feather earrings that just came in last week. ?They’re very well-made, unlike others that I’ve seen around town (even the ones that are more expensive!).When you shop here you often get one-of-a-kind items and support L.A. artists at the same time. ?Sign up on their email list because they do in-store events and promote other stores in a part of town that should be bustling.
I concur with others have said about this store – cool stuff, super nice owner, go shop here. ?Now a story to relate. ?I was grabbing dinner in Chinatown before a Dodger game with a big group of people. ?I had ordered two tickets for the game online through Stubhub which is the only way you can do so. ?I swore I printed the tickets and brought them with me, but they ?just disappeared. ?Have no idea where they are. ?It was soon before the game and so all my friends coming were already on their way so none of them could print them out for me. ?I was frantically searching for an internet cafe or some place I could get online and print them. ?I remembered seeing this cool store earlier and thought, there is a chance they may have a printer and the person working there might (might being possibly unlikely but we can all hope) be nice enough to let me use it. ?The person working here (who turned out to be the owner) was more than nice. ?She went above and beyond. ?I walked in and asked her if she had a printer she might be willing to let me use. ?She said sure and I told her my problem. ?She was super nice to a complete stranger which is not as common as it should be – let me access my email, print the tickets, and was just very pleasant and kind. ?But to show you how great she was, her printer was low on black ink and so she changed her settings to print in color and on best quality so that the tickets would show up and it worked great. ?I call that great customer service, so if you are looking to buy stuff or sell stuff (since she does consignment too she told me), come here. ?It is behind the Wonder Bakery in the plaza across from Realm.
I feel like a dick for not having reviewed sooner but this place is awesome! ?The owner was extremely helpful and nice, even though I was being one of those totally annoying ask about everything customers. ?Soon after her husband came in and we started to talk about a party they were going to throw the following night. ?They were awesome they even offered me a DJ gig playing fidget house! ?Unfortunately I had to fly out the next day and wouldn’t be in town for that. ?The items they have there are completely unique and you would never be able to find them anywhere else. ?Also its tucked away at the end of old china town (which is an adventure in itself) in the back alley is a nice bar and a few other shops worth visiting. ?If your from out of town or have lived in LA for a while and burnt out on the same happenings check them out!
This place is more than just a great source of unique apparel and accessories. ?Whether you walk in during regular business hours, or during their occasional after-hours art exhibits, Flock Shop is a really chill place to just hang out and meet great new people, starting with the owners themselves.But if all you’re looking for is unique fits, I tell you, the stuff you’ll find here will make ya popular with ur friends n fam every X-Mas.
This is a hidden gem in Chinatown! Handmade designers and art with a controversial twist (I love my embroidered scarf that says “It’s so F— cold”) Shop every bit of this tiny shop and you’ll find tons of stuff that you have to have! They also do events with Chinatown “Make It Funky” and more!
This shop reminds me of those little independent clothing & accessory boutiques in NYC. They have a lot of independent colthing lines both for men and women, accesories, art and candles. I bought a handsigned print by Tyco there.The owners are really nice and they always have a jazz on a record player and a scented candle burning. Awesome.
This tucked-away shop has really fun, stylish, and unique giift items, art, and accessories for both men and women. The shop-owner is super friendly, and they don’t even charge that much for items that are mostly independently produced. I discovered a wonderful local artist named Joey Chou at her shop and had to buy one of his books. I would have bought more (like his prints and some toys) if I lived locally but I was just visiting from New York. I look forward to her online shop opening up but you really should stop by for a look!
Cute, unique artsy t-shirts accesories and stuff. I wandered in here after having lunch around the corner. My son loved the stuffed animals and I had to by the RGB necklace. BOMB!!! You should definately make a trip.
Love this place !!!! Always finding cool and unique art work here. Bought multiple items of jewelry for the wife too, Fun and friendly owners. They have special events almost every weekend. A must stop if your in Chinatown.
I love this place! ?Such a little secret back door in China town. Everything in there is truly unique! Best gift shop ever!I wish they were open later, I have tried like 3 times to get there after work and I miss them every time.FLOCK SHOP – what an amazing idea for a store!
Great shop! The owners are really nice and they have some great finds. I got a really cute jacket here and some gifts for friends. Definitely a great find in Chinatown. They do some art events too that you can find out about from the mailing list. Michelle is working on getting an online shop up and running so you will be able to shop her cool picks even if you aren’t in LA.
The best place to go to if you are looking for independent and local artist wears. ?I’ve bought what has to be my most favorite wallet yet and this is the first place that comes to mind when searching for gift ideas for friends.Art shows and promotional events are regularly held by the store bringing a warm, inviting atmosphere reflected well by the wonderful, personable owner running it. ?It’s often that first time customers become regulars due to the ever changing inventory of new, original items and the rapport built between the staff and shoppers.Definitely worth visiting if you find yourself in the Chinatown area
I found myself standing in front of the sign for this place and instantly remembered having read amazing reviews ?so I had to stop in! ?So glad we went in too. ?Shop features products from local artists. ?Handmade wallets, handmade jewelry, cards, etc. ?In addition to the great items they have for sale, the owners are really friendly. ?They said they are working on an online shop, which will be great.
The Flock Shop caught my attention from the moment I walked in. ?Unique art prints on the walls, 3D scarves, and might I say, free food by the cashier. ?Although this shop is a bit on the pricey end, the merchandise is well worth it. ?I’ve never seen accessories such as those sold here. ?I bought a wallet and bracelet (endpieces made of lego)
If you’re into one of a kind, unique, vintage, “hard to find” digs..this is the spot..!Truly a gem in Chi-town.
This place is rad for those quirky gift items. . When I stopped by they were giving out spiky lemonady happy drinky. . quenched my thirst!
Great shop with unique finds and fun and quirky art. Very friendly owners. Can’t wait for their next artist show in August.
Great store with New items and consigned items. ?It carries ?a variety of indie and local artist wears. ? Designers such as liz saintsing,old chola, el ponk, Aya Kato Tees & Others by Beautiful Decay . Hand Silkscreened Ties from Cyberoptix , Candles by Skeem . Tees by FREEGUMS . Sweaters & Dresses by Eternal Child . Supremebeing Fall . ?Cardboard Robot Jackets, Tees, Hats & Wallets . Early Jewelry . Nashelle ?Dittos ,Sweaters by Delicious . New Designs by SHARK TOOF! , and Wallets by Tiny Meat ..and a lot more. I recommend if you are in Downtown Chinatown..Its behind the Wonder Bakery..
One of the best places to buy cool artist t shirts and gifts in Los Angeles!
This shop is a well-hidden gem in Chinatown. We walked into it a week before their grand opening, and the owner was so sweet and helpful. I bought the cutest peacock earrings and a dope-ass reversible ninja hoodie for my boy. I need to get back soon!
I went to Chinatown this weekend specifically to check out The Flock Shop based on the reviews on Yelp and I was not disappointed. ?My head was spinning checking out all the awesome and unique items in the store including a fox named “Wilfredo” (Dad!). ?I met Michelle (one of the owners) who was really nice and friendly. ?I bought a couple unique wallets here. ?I will definitely be coming back. ?Come down and check them out!
stumbled across this killer boutique and fell in love instantly. being a boutique owner myself, i’m very aware of every detail. michelle and chad have done an outstanding job at stocking their shop with indie designer goods. they know their product and are amazingly friendly!! cool stuff AND great customer service? what more could you ask for? 
Wow this place is awesome!!! ?To be honest with you, I”m a little flustered with the cost jewelry accessories, it’s not the cheapest place but I guess the prices are somewhat reasonable considering the novelty. ?But yeah, the store feel and the owners are AWESOME!!! ?Merchandise on shelves are $10+ some stuff can get over $100 so if you’re looking for frugality , it is something to be considered.
What a great store. ?I got a really beautiful & unique wallet here. ?This place is awesome. Just go.
Small, thoughtful, independent artist supporting shop with cool stuff! It’s proof that Chinatown is more than touristy trinkets and restaurants.
I don’t think flock shop has one bad review. first discovered it back in 08 with my mom and sisters. we all went crazy buying stuff because everything is so cute and unique. everything i’ve ever bought from here always gets compliments. not to mention michelle (the owner) is seriously one of the sweetest people ever! if you’re in china town stop in and take a look around :]
I absolutely love this place and Flock shop gets five stars and a huge smile from me. I popped by this afternoon to find that they have recently expanded their Chinatown hideaway to include more room for all of the fun goodies they keep in stock. What a pleasant surprise! All the owners are incredibly gracious and warm. The walls are lined with creations from dozens of talented artists, and the shelves are thoughtfully packed with unique items that would make a perfect gift for a special person in your life. They have clothing from a variety of designers and artists including the ubiquitous Shark Toof! They also have some clever little greeting cards to go with whatever purchase you decide to make. Jewelry, accessories and a bit of home decor round out the selection. The absolute highlight of the place is the wonderful personality of the owners, Michelle and Chad who remembered me from months and months ago. I challenge you to find businesses that care enough about you to remember not only your face, but what you do for a living and who you were dating the last time you stopped by. I absolutely love the Flock Shop and they get a two thumbs up from me!
Stumbled onto this place while at the Chinese New Year celebration downtown, and have been back again since. ?It’s a bit pricey, but definitely the kind of place to get something hip, unique, well-made, really a piece of art rather than the usual mass-produced stuff. ?Jewelry, accessories, t-shirts, hoodies, dresses, jeans, even ties… the most awesome ties ever! ?My boyfriend liked the store as much as I did, and we will both definitely go back. ?Also, the people working (the owners?) were super helpful and friendly and clearly care about what they are selling, and presumably about the local artists who sell it. ?Definitely supporting the scene. ?I can’t wait ’til I’m rich so I can shop here all the time!
I love my yellow-notebook-paper wallet! ?I get lots of compliments on it b/c of its originality, and it’s so handy and easy to “navigate.” I love this place! ?Everything in there is so unique and cool and makes me feel warm and fuzzy. ?I could easily spend an hour simply browsing. ?I also love their R-rated stuff, too 
)
like this place needs another review… but I love the flock shop! they carry lots of local & independent brands/designers as well as handmade items imported from all sorts of places. sometimes they have art shows and parties too! yeahhhh!
