BIRKENSTOCK Venice Beach, opened in 2019 as the second company-owned retail store in the United States, is located in the vibrant Venice community on the famous mile-long strip known for its eclectic boutiques, restaurants, and galleries. The store blends an indoor/outdoor feel, evoking a contemporary beach bungalow with a courtyard, and embodies the rich history of the brand through the use of core materials like cork and leather to create a light, bright, and naturally comfortable space. The store offers a great selection of products, including big sizes, and the staff is described as helpful, resourceful, and providing a tremendous care. However, some customers caution against purchasing the Birko-Flor material, as it can stain easily and has no guarantee, unlike the natural leather options. The employees are also praised for their patience in assisting first-time Birkenstock buyers to find the perfect fit and style.
