About Les Habitudes
Les Habitudes is a Los Angeles fashion institution—an archive-boutique known for dramatic eveningwear, couture-level bridal, and rare designer pieces that feel like they belong on a red carpet, a film set, or in a collector’s wardrobe.
Established in 1982, Les Habitudes built its name the old-school way: exceptional garments, obsessive detail, and the kind of
personal service that makes stylists and clients return for decades.
Today, we continue that legacy with a tightly curated edit of vintage, deadstock, and archival designer fashion—plus select pieces from the Les Habitudes house label, including hand-beaded garments made in England in the 1990s and again in the 2000s.
A Los Angeles Story, Written on Robertson Boulevard
For years, Les Habitudes lived at the center of L.A.’s most famous shopping strip—Robertson Boulevard, in the West Hollywood / Beverly Grove corridor—an area synonymous with stylists, paparazzi, and celebrity retail culture. Les Habitudes was listed at 101 N. Robertson Boulevard, a few
doors from the street’s most photographed storefronts.
In the press (selected quotes):
“A few doors from Kitson is Les Habitudes… Exquisite European gowns… embroidered lace and hand-applied crystal beads…”
— The New Yorker, “To Shop and Drive in L.A.” (March 20, 2006)
“This fantasy boutique is full of heavily beaded evening
gowns, wedding dresses, capes and jackets…”
— Los Angeles Times, Robertson Boulevard shopping feature (July 16, 1999)
“Since 1982, Les Habitudes has been known for their
exquisite evening and bridal wear.”
— Robertson Boulevard Shopping Guide (archival listing)
That combination—bridal + eveningwear + European designers + a cinematic sense of drama—is the DNA of the brand, and it still guides everything we buy and sell.
Hollywood Clientele, Stylists, and Red-Carpet Energy
Les Habitudes has long been part of the Hollywood fashion ecosystem: the kind of place stylists stop when they need something specific, special, and camera-ready. Robertson Boulevard itself was profiled as a place “where stars shop,” and Les Habitudes is called out as one of the key stops.

We work with:
- Private clients (event dressing, bridal, wardrobe-building)
- Stylists
- Collectors seeking rare designer work and deadstock treasures
The Point of View
Les Habitudes has always been for people who want clothing with presence: romantic, powerful, a little dangerous, never generic.
We believe:
- Craftsmanship outlives trends
