Eckhaus Latta hosts L.A.'s Holiday Market in Chinatown
Eckhaus Latta and neighbors at Chinatown's Mandarin Plaza in downtown Los Angeles are holding a market of holidays Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. with more than 30 suppliers.
The fashion label is hosting the event with Steep L.A., the popular tea house of Samuel Wang and Lydia Lin, who has won critical acclaim for her bar bites and tea-based cocktails in a neighborhood that's one of the city's top foodie destinations.
"Their community in the food and drink scene is such an exciting part of L.A. and it It was great to join forces and mix our friends and neighbors in this shared event,” said Zoe Latta, co-founder and designer of Eckhaus Latta.

Vendors will include Building Block props by artist Nancy and Kimberly Wu, Come t-shirts Tees by Sonya Sombreuil, Kara Jubin's Kkco workwear, Giu Giu knitwear, House of paa clothing, Paper Plant stationery and houseplants and more.

A percentage of market profits will be donated to the Chinatown Service Center, an organization that strives to bring health care and other resources to underserved communities that have struggled amid the region's rapid gentrification.
"Chinatown has changed a lot for the better, or sometimes for the worse, so it feels really nice to come together with neighboring businesses and celebrate the work we all do,” Latta said.
The designer and her co-founder Mike Eckhaus launched their brand in 2012, and run it with Eckhaus based in New York and Latta in L.A.
The brand sells menswear, womenswear, jeans and shoes in its own stores in New York and L.A., and a mix of big accounts, and counts Hari Nef, Maryam Nassir Zadeh, Susan Ciancolo and others among its close community.
Over the years, and through collaborations with big brands like Ugg and more recently Moose Knuckles , the designers have retained its spirit of independence. "We want to do the things we want, not the things we think we're supposed to do," Latta told WWD.
