“Amazing store! I really appreciate that they're size inclusive and I was able to find things in my size. The people who assisted me were so, so nice and even ordered my size when they didn't have it in the store. I felt very welcome, the store fit my aesthetic and there's no way I won't be back!!”
“Purchased a 1954 vintage Rolex paired with a beautiful strap. Also nabbed a custom dial citizen. I messaged Stephen from Texas, he was quick to respond, and shipped to me within 12 hours. I love the art work too.”
“Excellent staff who walked me through their collection. Guided me into a perfect suit for my occasion. The tailor onsite is old world gem. Top notch all around. Do yourself a favor and visit the Long Beach location.”
“Ive been coming here for years. They always have new fresh stuff all the time. They got any amd every Long Beach hat you can think of plus they have any sports team you might like, they sell hats, shirt, tshirt sweaters, shorts, sweats damn near anything you need.”
“I highly recommend LB Supply Co. I had a small custom run that I needed to have printed. Bruce and his team were amazing. This shop produces high quality prints with customer service ethics to match. Its a local shop that can take care of all your printing needs.”
“Nestled in the vibrant heart of Long Beach, the 1897 Long Beach Homegrown store stands as a testament to the creative vision of local artist Jose Mercado, known widely as Dire. Since the early 1990s, Dire has been crafting fine art, and now he channels that seasoned artistry into a distinctive clothing line: Long Beach Homegrown.
The store itself exudes a raw, authentic vibe that's palpably connected to the city's eclectic culture. As you step inside, you're greeted by an array of clothing that perfectly embodies the spirit of Long Beach. Dire’s influence is unmistakable in every piece, with designs that beautifully fuse classic and contemporary styles. His ability to keep the line fresh while maintaining a timeless appeal is evident, with new styles that consistently capture the essence of street fashion.
What sets Long Beach Homegrown apart is not just the artistic flair of its designs but also the exceptional quality of the merchandise. Each item feels crafted rather than made, with attention to detail that speaks volumes about the durability and comfort of the fabrics used. This commitment to quality is undoubtedly why Dire’s creations quickly sell out.
The popularity of Long Beach Homegrown is also a reflection of Dire’s reputation in the community—a beloved local artist who has stayed true to his roots while evolving his artistic expression. This store is more than just a clothing outlet; it's a piece of Long Beach culture, offering locals and visitors alike a taste of homegrown artistry woven into wearable form.
Whether you’re in search of everyday wear that stands out or a unique piece to showcase your personal style, 1897 Long Beach Homegrown offers something special. Dire continues to bless the fashion scene with innovative designs that resonate deeply with his audience, making every purchase a collectible piece of Long Beach’s vibrant artistic legacy.”
“The sale associated( mother of the owner) was very kind and helpful! the shop is so cute with a lot of affordable items, beautiful dresses and other stuffs to buy!”
“Wow! What an amazing experience!!! Such a vibrant and positive ambiance. Linda, the owner, was the wonderful gem that helped me out. Went in with the hopes of finding a rehearsal dinner dress for my best friend’s wedding. Linda asked what I was looking for, looked at my body shape and immediately picked out two gorgeous dresses to try on. I am quite a busty woman so trying to find dresses can be extremely challenging. Needless to say, I ended up buying one of the dresses she chose for me with a couple extra items. I will definitely be coming back Not just for dresses, but also there are more casual clothes as well. Overall, it was a 10 out of 10 experience, just make sure to make an appointment before going in.”

But also a great record selection with a lot of underground punk and hardcore! Lindsay, the owner, is so sweet and always willing to go the extra mile.

I love the quality and fit and the team really make it a luxury experience. They help you in the dressing rooms find alternative sizes and really go above and beyond to help you, it’s a real treat. I also want to give a special thank you and shout out to Briana (manager I believe) she is sooo nice and helpful. I live much closer to another Madewell but will make the extra drive to visit this location because of the team and culture here.”

“Five stars ⭐️ only because Phillip was so friendly and so helpful! He really carried the team as the other ladies working there (on Thursday morning) at the time were neither friendly nor helpful, rather rude actually. Maybe they were having a bad day ??♀️.”

“New member of the Fat Boys Club and couldn’t be happier. Phenomenal product and incredible customer service. They are quick to respond to emails and assist with updates on deliveries. I don’t want to brag but I’ve got a pretty sick flow, however I will be covering up the lettuce because of how great this SnapBack looks. I’ll be sure to order more swag from this shop in the near future. Fat boy club FOR LIFE, baby!!!”
“This store is smaller than the others but it is so easy to shop at. There is always someone to help out or ask questions. I was in last night and tried some things on; Daniel was super helpful! <3 It's hard to find quality customer service, especially during the busy holiday season. But he didn't make me feel bad about questions, sizing or opinion.”
“Sy and his team at Off Print did an outstanding job bringing three complex custom shirt designs to life. From sourcing and ordering the custom tags to carefully sewing them on, every detail was handled with precision and care. What really impressed me was how accurately they matched all the colors—everything came out exactly as envisioned. The quality and craftsmanship exceeded expectations, and I’m already looking forward to working with Sy again on my next round of designs!!”
