On a desolate and grim street in downtown LA, lies a hidden gem. It's a (somewhat) secret place known to its regulars as 'Fight Club'. This of course is because of the first (and second) rule of 'Fight Club' which is 'We don't talk about Fight Club!'. The place is Shareen Vintage.
A lack of dressing rooms, led to a 'no boys allowed' policy, and what ensued, was unique community for women. Owner Shareen Mitchell says, ' What actually goes on here is a loving exchange with and about women.' A place where they can gather not only to shop, but to discuss and work through their problems with friends and strangers alike, in an atmosphere set up much like a home (with a bed, bureaus, and even living room area complete with snacks and magazines) It takes the meaning of 'retail therapy' to a whole new level!
