Des Kohan

Just parked in front of store. Never saw anyone go in or out, and I was there parked for 2 hours waiting for my son while he got his hair braided and cut. Sorry but true

Fine service in our area

Shopping here feels like shopping at the most elegant stores of Paris and Milan, with staff that goes above and beyond for the client. Every designer piece is excellent quality and the girls there know exactly what will fit and flatter your specific body. I've brought friends here who got 4 staple pieces, went home and threw out a bunch of stuff they no longer needed, and the 4 pieces have lasted years in great condition. Very picky buyer, only gets top of the line designers, usually European. Always pleased with the selection. My go-to for all things from fine jewelry to casual wear to evening wear. Highly recommend. Used to go to their La Brea location, now I visit them on Fairfax and the new space is divine. If you want to downsize to less clothes with higher quality, you've met your match.

Des Kohan is my go to spot for high end pieces in my closet. The girls there always make me feel so comfortable and I leave so excited to wear my new pieces. They also offer complimentary alterations which is so helpful since I'm pretty short and thing usually don't fit exactly perfect! I've been shopping with them for years and I just love their new location on Fairfax, it is right in West Hollywood so super conviennent. The girls always make me feel so at home and super comfortable. Their customer service is top notch- I've never been to a store with this kind of service! I recommend this spot to anyone in LA who wants a luxury experience buying one of a kind high end clothing! Can't speak about this place highly enough. It's truly one of a kind.

TLDR: This store and one of their key designers aren't willing to stand behind their product, claiming that too much time has passed to fix an issue with a defective (and expensive) item, in spite of us all staying home for almost two years due to a global pandemic. I have spent the last four months trying to work with them to find a solution that is mutually beneficial but the only remedies they offer cost me more for replacement items I don't actually want AND generate additional profit for them. Buyer beware and definitely don't buy from the Eriness line. Full review: It truly breaks my heart to write this review as I love this store and, over the years that I have been shopping here, have become friends with one of the salespeople (Soshi) who helped me repeatedly. That said, I feel obligated to warn other shoppers about the store's policies, customer service and one item in particular. As a small business owner, every year when I make my company's revenue goal, I reward myself with an extravagant gift of some sort. For the last few years, my reward has been beautiful jewelry. I had bookmarked the Des Kohan website for their jewelry a number of years prior to discovering that they were located across the street from my drycleaner. When I realized it, I felt it was serendipity and was overjoyed. So, in November 2017 when I made my numbers, I immediately went to purchase a beautiful diamond and gold necklace (~$1K). The following year, in December 2018, I purchased a pair of $2K diamond and gold huggies to match. Within the first week and a half of wearing the earrings (twelve days to be exact), one of them fell out of my ear without me knowing or feeling it. Thankfully, it had fallen out in my garage and I found it and brought the pair back to have them fixed. I thought the issue was resolved and left, pleased with the customer service to which I had become accustomed. I wore the earrings sporadically for a little over a year until COVID hit and forced me into strict lockdown as I have both asthma and an autoimmune disease. So, I didn't wear the earrings from mid-March of 2020 until mid-June or so of 2021. And then, I only went out occasionally and very carefully so didn't wear them frequently at all. Over Thanksgiving of 2021, I went on my first vacation since the start of the pandemic and only brought one set of jewelry so I didn't have to worry about losing anything. Thinking they were secure after having been "fixed," I wore these huggies every day for almost a week. But on the Friday after Thanksgiving, I got back to the hotel to discover that one of the huggies had again fallen out of my ear, this time somewhere in the desert never to be seen again. The next day, we retraced our steps but to no avail and I flew home utterly devastated. Knowing that I had spent over $3K in about 13 months in the store, that Soshi knew me well AND that we had been through a pandemic during which I never left my apartment, I felt fairly confident that the store would work with me to rectify the situation. As I now knew for sure that the earrings weren't secure (were defective?) and didn't want to pay to replace the second one, I asked them to take the single one back and let me buy something else on store credit (just for that one earring). Keep in mind that, trying to be reasonable, I didn't ask them to give me anything for free. I simply requested that they stand behind a product which had already failed once, after it failed a second time costing me a thousand dollars. Both the store and the designer refused that suggestion claiming too much time had passed. Considering other options, the designer would only sell me a replacement for the lost earring at wholesale cost which included a profit for her. This just felt dirty to me, especially since I couldn't trust that they wouldn't fall out again. The store has also offered me a $200 credit to use on a replacement earring but there is basically nothing in their collection that works with the other huggie that is anywhere near that price range. Trust me, we have tried MANY options. We finally identified another earring that compliments the huggie but that I don't really love and when I asked them to sell it to me at cost (so they don't lose anything, but don't make a profit off my misfortune), they refused to do that as well. Meanwhile, other stores and businesses are allowing consumers to use expired passes and such, understanding that they couldn't use them during the pandemic. So, please know that this store doesn't stand behind their product and seriously consider whether you are willing to spend over $2K on a pair of earrings that may very well just fall out of your ears without any warning. The earrings are made by Eriness and are the 14K yellow gold diamond huggies with diamond tear drop as shown below... P.S. Yes, the huggies are insured but filing a claim wouldn't cover this (due to my deductible) and would simply jack up my premium. :(

High end boutique. Exquisite aesthetic. The owner buys selectively and has fantastic taste. So chic. Highly recommend.

Des Kohan offers a gorgeous selection of luxury women's clothing. The store seems very minimalist and classic. There is no clutter. There are only clean lines...and high prices! I buy one single ella moss item from Des Kohan every several weeks. This week I bought a bubble skirt made by Bailey 44. I am very delighted with my purchase. I will return!!!

I love this store!!! Des Kohan has such a unique style and grace it's always delightful browsing in her boutique. If you are a lover of FASHION not TREND then this is the right store for you. Des Kohan also offers a great selection of her own designs. My fave item this season os the SWITCHEROO belt a three piece versatile belt made for all occasions . Desiree also has accessories ranging from vintage Chanel, YSL, Givenchy and Fendi all will add a great selection to your fall wardrobe.

This place is special. Most reviews have raved at how awesome it is! Me too now. Beautiful clothing. This place has all my type of fave things.

Well edited selection of clothing and jewelry with clean lines, sober palette, interesting details. Desiree herself is super friendly. Go here if you want to invest in designer pieces that are subtly cutting edge and don't scream "Fall 08". But not if you want a bargain.

Classy, edgy, elegant, romantic and incredibly unique - love Des Kohan. Great store to find something high end, fashionable and timeless. I'm especially a fan of the Bare jewelry/handbag lines. The designer uses silver and 14KT gold to make the most simple and beautiful rings. I get compliments all the time on both the Teardop and Twinkle designs. Other favorites include a backless top by Des Kohan (I hope she gets more in!), as well as Gabriela Artigas' jewelry... she uses vintage Chanel bows! And even better, she's just the most adorable girl with an amazing sense of style - making my trip to DK that much more fun.

Elegant cutting-edge clothes for stylish women. It's expensive, but it's also high quality. Sadly, I don't think she ever has a sale. Well-worth saving your pennies for a splurge.

This store is my go to for stellar pieces. Most of my favorite articles of clothing and jewelry were purchased from this store. The owner, Desiree is such a genuinely nice person. She helps put together really cool and stylish outfits and will work with your budget, not to mention your figure. I have been shopping here for years and not sure what I would do without it. Also great for little jewelry gifts. You can always find something here. From Spelndid to Houssein Chalayan. She also carries brands that you will not find anywhere else.
