Shop Meg’s Favorites from The Platform

What makes Platform LA especially cool is that it brings popular online brands like DISSH and Margaux  into a real-world space. Instead of guessing your size or dealing with return labels, you can actually try things on in person! It takes the stress out of online shopping and lets you see how clothes, shoes, and accessories really fit and feel before buying.
