I have been a fan of Beatrice Valenzuela’s work ever since I saw a pair of her shoes float by me on Pinterest last year. Once I found out she was L.A. local I went down to the Last Year’s Echo Park Craft fair (which Valenzuela herself organizes) last year to meet her in person and get my hands on some shoes that I have worn, pretty much non-stop, since. Well, in case her shoe line, the craft fair, being a mama of one adorable little girl and ANOTHER on the way isn’t enough… Valenzuela just open a lovely little flagship store right in the heart of Echo Park on Echo Park Ave. The shop carries her shoe line, but also some lovely accessories from other local designers. And, my goodness–that gorgeous colorful weaving behind the register table?!? It’s one of hers. Ya. I know. She wove it while she was pregnant with her daughter. Keep an eye on Ms. Valenzuela folks…
