Ananda is a great, independently owned and woman-owned boutique on Abbot Kinney. It is a favorite stop and a must-visit for many, offering a great, curated selection of women's styles, clothing, accessories, and fun knick knacks. The store has great vibes and a great staff, making shopping stress-free and amazing to work with, especially for special occasions. Every item is unique and not found copy/pasted elsewhere. While the items aren't cheap, they are more affordable than other shops and offer reasonable prices. Customers always take home pieces that become favorites, receiving compliments. It is highly recommended for finding the perfect gift or a distinctly southern Cali look.
