WHAT IS J. RANSOM?
J. RANSOM is an upscale clothing store located in the heart of the shopping district on La Brea Avenue in Hollywood. This innovative lifestyle boutique is always introducing on the edge fashion designers for work or play.

We stock items for all aspects of your lifestyle including clothes from Vivienne Westwood, Literature Noir, John Richmond, RA-RE, Morphine Generation, as well as TOM FORD, Beryll & Oliver Peoples Eyeware. We also carry Hair and Skin care products from Philip B, Nickel, Anthony and B by Brandon. One of the things we are most known for is our accessories. Jewelry and accessories from IVY, Virgin Saints and Angels, Chevron Royal and of course Royal Order jewelry & Bill Wall leather goods provide a perfect range. Lastly, we are developing our J. RANSOM HOME section including popular CHROME ROYALE candles.

Owner, John Ransom Knoedler, has created an inviting atmosphere where Hollywood A-Listers and rock stars often shop. J. RANSOM is positioned as a high end clothing boutique with unique quality brands brought in from around the world (US, JAPAN, ITALY, UK, France, etc). There are several brands making their U.S. debut at the store.

The average customers of J. RANSOM are successful people between 20-60 yrs old that know what they want. We are a destination store and cater to private appointments as well as walk ins. Our customers do not want to purchase clothing that is mass-produced; therefore they desire unique brands and styles and are willing to pay higher prices for it. This requires J. RANSOM to be leading edge - not trendy . Another requirement of the target customer is to have an overall fun and pleasant shopping experience. This includes a warm inviting environment as well as hospitable and friendly help. Due to the fact the store is located in a high-end area of Los Angeles, CA, and has a specific target market, the level of service is attentive but not overpowering.
