This is Esqueleto, the latest addition to Echo Park’s Sunset Boulevard, the second shop of Oakland-based jewelry designer Lauren Wolf who opened her first space in 2011. Lauren and manager Alexis (pictured below) made several trips to the city scouting the perfect location and selecting a few L.A.-exclusive lines to offer in the new shop. With tall ceilings and whitewashed brick walls, the light-filled studio displays her jewelry designs alongside a few other artists (a rotating gallery currently featuring Kreh Mellick), complemented by a lovely selection of ceramics, vintage rugs (some of the best designs I’ve laid eyes on), home decor and natural objects. Welcome Esqueleto to the city and swing by their opening party Saturday August 8th from 4 to 8pm for some tacos, cocktails, music, mingling and a little bit of shopping. I dare you to leave Esqueleto empty-handed.
