Acne Studios

Okay, I love the style and the clothing but the employees do not understand space. I was trying to shop around and one of the ladies working there would not stop following me. I was going to buy a few things but just got fed up with the fact that I couldn’t shop without someone hovering over me.

Nice Modern Store. Attentive Salespeople. Love Acne for their Leather jackets, jeans, etc… but some of the stuff is too $$$ for what its worth. Hard to find street parking unless you want to pay $ 5+ for parking garage for ½ hours worth of shopping. Overall, decent and nice place to find quality menswear sometimes

Never underestimate the power of Swedish jeans.
Their staff is very helpful, smart, and good looking; which is something really hard to find –particularly in LA.

the staff is very helpful and nice and arent rude if you have sizing questions! they even offered me sparkling water. beautiful interior and clothes that are well worth the price!

I love what DTLA is transforming into and ACNE adds to this transformation. DTLA neeeeeeeeds more stores like ACNE! So basic/​minimal but SO loud in style and quality. I’ve drooled over Acne pieces via magazines, pictures, etc. but it was so nice to see their collection organized in a beautiful location.

Beautiful store to house beautiful clothes. Helpful and cheerful staff. Acne Studio’s presence is sincerely appreciated to provide downtown a righteous haven for good design and beautiful products.

Swede

WORST EXPERIENCE.
Do NOT get jeans tailored at this store! Buy them and take them elsewhere. Staff do not know how to properly pin a pair of jeans based on customer instructions… and you end up paying the price for it.
The manager doesn’t even care to do anything to fix the issue. Instead she just offers some generic BS argument. You would think paying $ 200+ for a pair of jeans would buy you some level of customer service and expertise but think again.
WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Shame…

To the Unilocalers that feel it’s «racist» to not prefer items made in china, you really should remove your head from your ass. Are you aware of the working conditions in the sweat shops these high end companies employ to produce their goods? Are these conditions tolerated in America or Sweden? Are that you that blind? As I’ve said, they could charge the same amount, and still have them manufactured in a country NOT on the Humane Societies 10 worst countries list.
Just 6 months ago Acne was forced to stop using 1 specific company in China because of the «rabbit farms»…look it up, it’s a disgusting read. To label my bias, to not use Chinese manufactured goods as «racist», is sheer stupidity and ignorance.
The sad part is, this market, the $ 250 jean buying types, have the where with all to have beautiful, hand made jeans made for them, all for $ 250. Your standards have fallen so fucking low that your content with being gouged just to have an «acne» label. Which is sad.
You hold the power. Demand quality products manufactured in a country that treats their workers humanely. Period. You are NOT the bottom feeders, buying Levi’s at Macy’s and sweaters at Target.
Demand more, your $ 250 deserves it.

I’am the guy who first walked in and said «$ 220 for sweat pants?!» Then later walked out with the some fresh all leather blacked out kicks which I love. Pricey clothing but everything is made with taste and quality in mind. The store layout is very psychedelic but somehow functional. Check them out they have some sweet pieces and cool vibes under the classic Eastern building :)

Unilocalers can be such haters. If you shop at Macy’s, you will probably hate this place. If you shop at Barneys or are a denim addict like me, you will probably like it.
I visited the Acne Studios DTLA store for the first time today and had a really pleasant experience. Cody, a sales guy, was the first person to greet me; he spoke enthusiastically about the brand and the store itself. I was in the market for a new pair of jeans, and he helped me find a pair I like.
Warning to the ladies: Acne doesn’t do vanity sizing. I normally wear a size 26 in Current/​Elliott, 7 for All Mankind, and Citizens of Humanity. I had a minor struggle getting myself into size 27 Acne skinnies; size 28 was much better. Good thing they have boyfriend jeans because that’s what I ended up buying. Note to the haters: The jeans I bought are made in Europe.
Nice touches: If you’re a serious shopper, you will be offered a fancy bottle of Danish water (your choice of still or sparkling). They also do hems and minor alterations in store.

Agree with Sam, below. The China hatred is just ignorant. COUNTLESS luxury brands are all Made in China now and many want to move there because of the quality of craftsmanship that is available. China doesn’t mean cheap. Sure there’s a markup at Acne but welcome to retail. You’re paying for the brand aesthetic and their fit and tailoring, which I think is top notch. Also many of their goods, like shoes, bags and even some jeans are made in Italy and France.
This is a great store that is not for everyone but if you’re a fan of the brand and the aesthetic you will certainly love it. It’s not a one stop shop but more curated and conceptual. I’ve owned many Acne pieces for years now and have always been impressed with the quality and longevity. This is a huge win for DTLA and I hope it continues to draw many more similar retailers.

I have a dear friend that I’ve known for over 10 years. She is a painter. Her whole life revolves around art. She was with a douchbag for almost all of those 10 years that I’ve known her, till recently. He also (claims to be) an artist. Me? I think the guy is a talentless loser. He LOVES Acne Studios. He loves techno music and wearing silver shoes. He thinks he knows everything but really knows nothing. He’s never worked a day in his life but expects the woman he’s with at the time to support him in whatever he does or wants. Did I tell you he loves Acne???
Acne is a Swedish label that attracts the «I’m cooler than you» crowd. The problem is, they’re not. They manufacture out of China. I’m in the textiles biz and to say that manufacturing in China is just as good as the US or Europe, is a joke. The quality is poor and never consistent. Not only that, Acne design is just laughable. I walked in here with the hopes of finding modern, high quality clothing but what I found was shiny gold parachute pants and a blazer for $ 600 with no lining. Not even a polyester one. Gold not your color? How about a slashed up white leather jacket for $ 3000???
I honestly don’t know how this boutique is gonna do downtown. Unless our neighborhood starts attracting The Sprockets from that Saturday Night Live skit

I don’t see this ending well.

Wow!
What is up with all of the China hating below?
Chinese clothing manufacturing has totally changed int he past ten years, and it seems pretty racist to assume something is low quality because it was produced in that country. I say this having traveled there for a month and visited textile and ceramic production factories that had incredible craftsmanship.

Nice place but the clothes are straight ugly!!! not to mention over priced!
What a terrible name? Acne really? Made in china should not cost this much!
Nothing new nothing special!

My favorite! So happy the LA spot is here. The manager of the store was incredibly sweet and helpful as well.

Came in just to browse. Super glam, absolutely beautiful clothing and awesome customer service.
2^nd store to open in the states, Acne Studios is apparently based from Stockholm. A must visit for shopaholics. I think I need to apologize to my wallet in advance.
Thank you to Bret who was super kind and informative. Received a free tote which I really appreciated.
Will be sure to bring my friends along. Did I mention how absolutely stunning the clothes are here? And the venue is spot on beautiful overall.
