Topanga Days: Canyon Gourmet and Fluke

 

I love going up to Topanga. If I don’t have time to drive to Ojai, I’ll just take a mini sojourn to the mountains that has been home to my father for the last thirty years. Topanga has a strong connection to the native tribes and it stills feels like a quaint village. I always make  a stop at my favorite vintage store Hidden Treasures and now there are two more pit stops to add to my list before heading to my Father’s place. Canyon Gourmet and Fluke a new vintage store. Canyon Gourmet is the love child of the stylist Danielle King and director Peter Kagan. Together they have created a gourmet haven where one can get sandwiches, organic produce and the coveted Moon Juice. They also have some wonderful household items and chocolates.

Fluke is curated by Caren Castleman who has brought her New York/Brooklyn vibe to the mountains of Topanga. She has a great eye for all sorts of fashionable gems. I went home with an ivory crochet dress, a 1940’s black jacket and some great tweed trousers. Caren has quite a following on the East Coast so many Vintage Fashionistas are thrilled she has opened Fluke here.
