Keeping with the brand’s up-cycle philosophy, the boutique features a collection using recycled vintage elements and a design based on eco-conscious fundamentals. Shop for sportswear and jewelry plus one-of-a-kind pieces and period finds: vintage sunglasses, Victorian fine jewelry, midcentury furnishings and more. Everything in the boutique is available for purchase, from antique furniture to wall tapestries. Founder and designer Karyn Craven says, “It is our intention that this will be a place to gather, to enjoy and to find that special treasure.” Like many of Burning Torch’s wares, the boutique’s space has a history: It was once VIP Boxing of Venice, where Muhammad Ali trained, before it transformed into the residence and recording studio of Lee Michaels of Jefferson Airplane fame. 1627 Abbot Kinney Blvd., Venice, 310.399.1920. burningtorchinc.com
