Green Denim Initiative highly recommends you go now and check out UNIQUE LA, and amazing event going on this weekend, July 30th and 31st, in Santa Monica at the Barker Hangar! You can go anytime between 11 AM and 6 PM, tickets are $10 at the door, and 10% of the ticket sales go to Heal the Bay – which we love!

UNIQUE LA is the largest independent design show in the country, attendees get the rare chance to meet and shop directly from over 250 hand-selected designers and artists. This exciting two-day shopping event makes it easy for you to buy local and support LA’s economy, discover great design and deals, join in community, and have a blast! Over 95% of the products at the show are proudly made right here in the USA! On top of shopping the wide variety of offerings, the event boasts many exciting perks including free workshops, an eco lounge, and two cafes featuring some of LA’s best restaurants and gourmet food trucks. Perfect way to spend a summer weekend!

The best part of UNIQUE LA, in addition to their emphasis on buying local, is that they are dedicated to giving back to the community. UNIQUE LA partners with a non-profit for every show and donates a portion of sales to the organization. In the past they have partnered with Ed Begley Jr.’s’ GreenWish (which raises awareness and funds for nine local environmental groups including Friends of Los Angeles River, Surfrider Foundation and Algalita), Architecture for Humanity, 826LA, and Create Now.
