The Fashion District sprawls over 90 blocks of downtown Los Angeles, and is just the place to be if you are looking for bargains or wholesale material. This section of the city is absolutely crammed with stores selling designer clothing, shoes, accessories, textiles and even flowers at unbeatable rates. Other bric-a-brac on display includes toys, lingerie, CDs, prom gowns and kids wear. Over 1,000 such retailers show off their wares at the area's prominent Santee Alley, a flea market of sorts, which always dons a festive appearance. Weekends are particularly busy, with great discounts of up to 30 percent. Major wholesale marts like the California Market Center and Gerry Building are also located in the vicinity, so make sure you load up before you head over. Hours of operation and credit cards may vary by store.
