Established and run by Santa Barbara-raised Raan Parton and his wife, Lindsay, Alchemy Works, in the heart of the Arts District, is a chimerical events space, gallery, and eclectic boutique in a warehouse setting. So, what’s for sale here? It’s always hard to predict, but Boyd’s of Texas fragrances, minimalist Kyma sandals (handmade in Greece), and vibrant threads by Whitney Pozgay have all caught our attention recently. We recommend scanning the wall-sized shelf for minimalist vintage housewares and jewelry and stopping by the shop-in-shops of Warby Parker and Apolis (Raan Parton’s original store).
