Rodeo Drive Stores

Though the storefronts on Rodeo Drive may look unassuming, they are home to some of the world's most expensive shops. From Italian handbags to French perfume to diamonds worth a small country's taxes, Rodeo Drive is the epitome of luxury and class. Shops even give meaning to the phrase “service with style,” as waiting customers are offered champagne in spacious areas with plush seats, fantastic lighting and gentle music.

Individual shops can be found along the three blocks of Rodeo Drive, but one stand-out building is the Rodeo Collection. A complex of marble, brick and brass housing famous names in fashion, jewelry, and coiffure, the Rodeo Collection was fashioned to re-create a European atmosphere. It features the likes of Nina Ricci, Gucci, Versace and Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery among the thirty-plus shops on its five grand floors.

Designer labels are the mark of Rodeo Drive, some more exclusive than others, requiring appointments before admittance. Bijan, an Iranian-owned menswear shop at 420 Rodeo Drive, is said to be the priciest individual shop in the world. Other more popular fashion names on Rodeo Drive are:
