The Closet started in 1993 as a single 100-square-foot shop in Huntington Beach, California, and expanded to 5 locations in Orange County and LA County. Today there are four Orange County stores, Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach (Fashion Island Shopping Center) and Irvine (Irvine Spectrum) and one LA County, Santa Monica. The Closet sells both men’s and women’s fashions that echo chic international styles with the relaxed California vibe mixed in. Their favorite brand to carry: TLFI of course!

Enjoy some Q&A from our boys over at the Huntington Beach Closet:

How’s the shop doing?
The store is doing really well, especially coming out of a successful memorial day weekend and heading into summer which is our busiest season.

Who is your typical customer?
Our typical customer is in their late teens to mid twenties.

Do you have any interesting shoplifting stories?
A kid stole some shirts from us and tried to run away. I tackled him outside and accidentally ripped his shirt off of him in front of the bar next door and was getting yelled at to “get a room” by all the middle aged white trash men sitting at the bar window.

Do you get many hot MILF’s coming in with their kids?
WE definitely get MILFS in our store and we love it. (especially Timmy).

Does the shop ever do any special events with featured artists?

We have trunk shows and fashion shows for different clothing lines to not only promote their brands, but to attract customers to our store and get them involved.

Which TLFI products sell the best in your shop?
The celebrities with tattoos (Hollyhood Series) and the Team Reggie tanks do very well for us.

What product would you like to see TLFI come out with?
It would be cool to see TLFI come out with some denim or maybe a cool cardigan sweater or leather jacket for fall/winter.
