What’s crave you ask? First off, it’s a guide featuring 125 of the best, most unique and hip women owned business’s in all of Los Angeles. Even better stated on their website… “CRAVE los angeles innovatively connects urban gals to the sassiest, gutsiest, most inspiring people they need to know in LA. Our modern marketplace of soirees, gatherings and online networking serves as your ambassador to everything there is to CRAVE in the City of Angels.” http://thecravecompany.com/la

Our very own Angharad Jones (owner of The Urban Craft Center) was featured in the book, page 219. Below is her picture from the book…

The book feels like a staycation guide for shopping, in the sense that you’re discovering all these amazing unique shops and restaurants you never knew existed in your own backyard or perhaps a few cities over… Los Angeles is so spread out, someone could easily grow up here their whole life and never visit all the different cities and towns. Crave LA gives you an excuse to get out of your radius and have an adventure, while supporting women owned business’s at the same time. Anyone looking to open their own business would be completely empowered by reading the about women featured in the book; their insightful anecdotes of personal inspirations, mentors, and even mistakes that come with the experience of owning and running your own business.

P.S. There are few more first edition copies left here in the store if anyone is interested in picking one up or ordering one from our webstore…
