Monica and Justin’s charming Los Angeles store provides locals and tourists with an eclectic selection of noteworthy, high quality products. Individual Medley is the go-to destination in Atwater Village when you’re searching for a gift, especially if you're looking for locally made items that are one-of-a-kind. They carry everything from clothing for him and her to jewelry, hats, candles, fragrances, soaps, ceramics, and more. Monica gave us the inside scoop on their shop and the Atwater Village neighborhood.
Neighborhood: Atwater Village
Tell us the Individual Medley backstory: The Individual Medley name was chosen to honor the wide-ranging products we carry and the individuals that make those products. It was also inspired by the swimming competition Justin used to race in, also called the Individual Medley. Our logo was greatly inspired by the design of the swimming pool. The “I” stretches along each lane, and crosses mark the ends of each lane for swimmers to tap during the race. Justin swam competitively for 17 years, and the Individual Medley was his best race. Inspiration from our life combined with our business plans brought us to this name.
