Colcha Club

Colcha Home Store

Noticing someone else wearing your jeans didn’t faze you. After all, good pants are good pants.

But when your pretty agate coasters started stalking you, it was time to take action.

Colcha, the new housewares boutique on Abbot Kinney Boulevard, is full of uncommon finds like John Robshaw textiles, Alex Marshall ceramics, and fancy Burn candles — all set around a giant antique farmhouse table.

A destination for those who appreciate high design on a livable level, Colcha is the only place you’ll see furnishings by Casa Midy and Finca Home, both from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. The art books make nice gifts, but Paper Omlette journals and Symi tray tables and lanterns will leave you no option but to bring them home.

That way, you can keep an eye on them.

You’ve got enough stalkers as is.

Colcha, 1356 Abbot Kinney Boulevard, between Andalusia Avenue and Navarre Court, Venice (310-743-3837 or colchahome.com).
