Arts District Co-op

This isn’t really a flea market. It sounds like it was at one point, but I wouldn’t say it is anymore. Sure, there are used goods you can purchase. However, It seemed more like a crafts fair but fancified. I saw more handmade and original pices.
They had entertainment (musical talent) playing inside. There’s a couple clothing lines I’m gushing over, but I didn’t get the info to buy it online. I’ll have to come back for it.
They also had the Ridges churro truck at this location the day I went.
A cool place to meander if you just so happen to be in the Arts District. Lots of great places to eat and murals nearby as well.

One of my fav spots to walk around during my lunch break. Lots of great of mostly women’s clothes (a few choices for men and children) and jewelry. Especially when you’re looking for something that’s not in every chain retail store.
All the merchants I’ve ran into were all very friendly and helpful.
On Fridays, there’s a regular food truck (bo*he*mi*a) is usually there. Bonus! :)
Be sure to check them out during the weekends. Third Saturdays of every month, the Co-​op along with local business work together for an event and have more vendors available.
Good thing that most of my visits are mostly «window shopping» or else I would be broke. :)))

A nice little warehouse with a different variety of small businesses. The place is well themed to fit the LA urban look. They have a center stage with music playing and where I am amusing will have life performances occasionally.
Typical stores inside include women’s clothing, men’s clothing, jeans, sample sales, jewelery, art, and roadie/​fixie bikes.

This is a great place for shopping. I love coming here especially for the vintage clothes and the vendors are always changing, so there is always something new to find.

Amazing place to get some shopping done. Both men and women’s clothes. And every other Saturday they have a live music and different vendors come and food trucks too.

Came here after having brunch at Urth Caffe. It is literally 1 block away. There was not much to see. The Flea Market was a lot smaller than I expected. Everything is inside this one warehouse location with a few vendors. Mostly clothes and items made by them.

I find the Arts District Co-​Op a great location to shop and hang in a relaxed and friendly environment. Super neat space.

VERY POOR QUALITY GOODS.
I live around the corner from the Arts District Co-​op and stopped in one afternoon and picked up a dress from one of the stores called «Latin Posh»
.
The very first day I put on the jumper the zipper broke. Good thing that I lived around the corner from the Arts District Co-​op! I can just drop by and get a refund. Isn’t that the point of shopping locally at small businesses?
The good thing was the the lady there remembered me. (I had just bought the dress a week ago). The bad thing was that they told me the product was damaged (DUH!) and that it smelled like food and they wouldn’t give me a refund or exchange.
The Arts District Co-​Op sells poor quality goods and unlike other stores that sells things at equivalent prices, they don’t stand by their products. Local shopping is about personal quality and creativity. But, they sell poor quality goods here and don’t stand by them.

Full of little surprises!
They now open from Tue-​Thur 11−7pm, Fri-​Sun 12−8pm!
Monday is closed!

After going to Urth Caffe, my friend and I were messing around and taking pictures with the awesome graffiti in the alley. We didn’t notice the Co-​op because it was around 11:45 and it was not open yet, but the guy setting up shop inside saw me taking a photo with some Adventure Time graffiti and asked us if we wanted a picture with the mural inside (because it had Finn in it!).
Can I just say… what a cool use of this space this is?! It was so nice of him to let us wander around the floor and check out the cool art and other items the vendors had to offer. I saw a lot of clothes, jewelry, handmade bags, and the like. There are fitting rooms, and a bathroom for convenience. He also told us that the band Palaye Royale was coming to play. I’ve never heard of them, but they’re actually pretty popular according to their YouTube views.
The wares they had were not really my thing, but it’s well worth a look to support local artists and small businesses. I don’t know if «flea market» is really the appropriate name for this place, because it seemed pretty bougie. I guess… flea market for people who hate flea markets? Apparently they’ll be open Tuesday-​Thursday in addition to their normal Friday-​Sunday beginning June 2^nd! If you thought the Arts District couldn’t get any more hip, wait until you see this.

This place is amazing. I love shopping at Dilussotrends. Every week they have new items of handbags, maxi dresses, jumpsuits and accessories. Understand this is not a flea market but more like Fred Segal downtown. It’s very clean. The music is great and tons on near by shops. Each store is a small independent business. You can use cash or credit, 3 fitting rooms and 2 bathrooms. If you do have a chance to stop by. Check out Dilussotrends. They have the best customer service, high quality items at affordable prices and friendly staff.

There were about 10 vendors in a nice high ceiling brick building. Nice location right by Urth Caffe and close to Little Tokyo.
Though, nothing really caught my eye… Jewelry, clothes, paintings, candles and bikes. They are just mediocre quality and design… I walked out in less than 5 mins…
Probably it would do better if they serve drinks and sit down place. Also, they need
to attract better designers and artists because nothing really looked interesting
at least for me.

First off, I must say, I’m not a fan of flea market shopping… no way! Always thought I would be entering an environment of someone else’s cast offs, then they repaired it/​washed it or whatever else… and then it becomes yours… if you buy it. My general ideas were shaped or formed through my mother who loved to go antique shopping. Never could understand why people would like to buy this old stuff… but ‘restored” back to its original glory. Really? Only later on, finally realized there is value in these restored items, whether it be clothing or furniture. But what was really really weird, I was passing by this market in the cool and trendy DTLA arts district, on one of those perfect LA weekends and I thought… «what the hell, I’m not doing anything special today». So I went in, a little reservedly of course. What I found was a lot of people selling really unique and NEW stuff from furniture, to large scale paintings, to clothing, jewelry and some other bizarre stuff I’ve never seen. WOW! Not what I expected. This does not make me a flea market fien for life… HELL no.
This building is very clean, they play cool music, there are several vendors but it’s not jammed packed (thank God… I hate getting lost).
Why would I go back ?
The really unique jewelry from turkey from a woman who was classy and upscale (beautiful too), and then there’s this other guy who is selling one of a kind eyeglass frames (I WANT) and then there is another fashionista girl who is selling super cool and NEW clothing that she designed herself.
Huh…
Not bad… I’m gonna check up on this market more often, I think I can always find something unique & different & NEW so I can keep up with my image of being classy yet finding unique items that you will never find on Robertson, Melrose or Rodeo Drive.

I think there is a lot of potential here. This is the kind of market I love to support– local artisans selling some really beautiful quality goods, from jewelry, to clothing, candles, and I saw last weekend some pretty bitchin’ light fixtures and coffee tables. There’s even a bicycle repair shop there!
It’s pretty small right now, so it wasn’t very busy, but I really think it’d be a great destination point for weekenders if they could add more vendors. Having Urth Caffe nearby is definitely helpful in terms of local foot traffic. But however small, they certainly make up for with quality. I really loved all of the vendors’ goods. It’s not cheap, so ‘flea market’ might be misleading (also all the products are new or upcycled, so again, misleading), BUT when someone takes the time to design and produce a handmade, quality product you should expect to pay a little more. Plus, you’re supporting the local economy. To me, it’s win-​win :)
I will definitely be back!

Cool place. Unique art. Antique furnitures. Hipster clothing and handmade jewelry. Right behind Urth Café. A little pricey for a «flea market». Industrial brick warehouse in the middle of the Los Angeles arts district.

Pretty cool space, wish there was more in there though. Mostly clothes and jewelry. Some art and some antiques. The area is very good for photography of building and street art and close to Urth Caffe as mentioned in other reviews.

I discovered this flea market by accident since we were looking to find decent parking in order to eat at Urth café. The place is small but they have a few interesting vendors but I do wish they had more vendors in their building. This is nice location because it’s inside, not outside to save you from the heat or cold.
I went for a 2^nd visit to find a table that I was interested in, but it was sold. My fault but I’ll continue to come because you’ll make new discoveries. If you are the first sale of the day the vendors are willing to price things well for you

I wanted to like this market a lot more than I did. The building itself is cute and I think it has potential, but it just felt lacking inside.
Most of it was women’s clothing, a couple of jewelry places, art, candles and one vintage décor shop in the back corner that did have some great pieces. Nothing else really caught my attention and I didn’t think that the quality of the photography prints was good enough to justify the prices.
I think if they added more vendors with a bigger variety of crafts, it could eventually catch on. Otherwise, not worth a trip unless you’re already in the area.

This is a really cute venue hidden behind Urth Café in Downtown. There are approximately 2 dozen small vendors and they will be here all summer. Cool trinkets and lots of clothes. Most of the clothing here is suited for young hip women. There is 1 men’s clothing stand. Other things you will find are: Portrait artiest, iphone/​ipad cameras, furniture, tea, antique arts, etc… etc… etc.
I wouldn’t necessarily come here specifically but I would definitely stop by if I were hanging out at Urth.
Also, check out the portrait artist, she’s pretty cool. :)

The Arts District Flea is a newborn baby marketplace, tucked away in the middle of a neighborhood that is undergoing a fresh wave of revitalization. In a few years, it will be rad to look back and see how much more life has developed around it. Just a short walk down the street from Urth Café, and super walkable from the heart of the Arts District Hub (Angel City Brewery, Umami, Pie Hole, etc.) this little flea deserves a visit. Local vendors with fresh takes on everything from trendsetting fashion (@Shywilder) to art work, accessories and a photo booth. The space is spacious and super clean. The parking is plentiful, and FREE on the surround streets. Check it out
