Alchemy Works

On the Grid : Alchemy Works

"Open and airy, this shop (and Warby Parker eyeglasses showroom) feels like a very fashion-forward sailor's living room. Perhaps it's the sailboat parked in the center of the room, replacing a beautiful vintage Fiat that's recently been sold. It could be the beautiful pieces of statement jewelry, books, surfboard fins and nautical artifacts that are strewn about the space. This whole place is photogenic; enjoy the atmosphere as much as the merchandise." - verynice

"Set up in the center of the most walkable stretch of the Arts District, Alchemy Works is the brainchild of Lindsay and Raan Parton (their former Apolis store is now a pop-up within Alchemy) and aims to bring a bit of the coastal lifestyle to downtown. The industrial-style shop doubles as an events space, so there’s lots of room to roam around and admire the hand-picked apothecary pieces, letterpress prints, indy-designer accessories, and more. Also sharing the space is a Warby Parker shop-in-shop and a Blacktop coffee counter. It's Newport Beach location is equally stunning. "

"Although the Apolis Common Gallery is closed for renovations, you can still find the brand's unique global goods at a somewhat permanent pop-up inside Alchemy Works, a mixed-use space that happens to house some other really great labels, too. It’s an open floorplan with lofted ceilings, and there’s always some sort of really cool vintage car parked in the center—the perfect Insta-shot. The collection here changes constantly, but you're likely to spot unique fragrances, hand-thrown ceramics, bespoke jewelry, and bags." - Krista Simmons
