Hello Hello!
This post is dedicated to our Rick's Vintage selection.

RICK'S VINTAGE: This special grouping of clothing comes from the dusty vault of a crazy old hippie named Rick. His collection was amassed over the past 45 years, his sources always an intense secret. For the first time since he began collectiong, he is allowing California Select to handpick items just for you. Please treat the garments with care, and remember the history that each one carries.

Below are some photos of some loyal customers and employees showcasing some of the pieces he's let us put in our store!

If you've been outdoors anytime recently, you'll notice that spring is MOST DEFINITELY in the air! Included in this post are a few photos of our *new* spring section. Come in today to get your hands on our best spring styles before they're gone!

Love,
California Select

California Select has a bundle of accessories, brooches and pins to add some flare to your favorite sweater or even put on your bag. Also, a couple of key chains that would go nicely with your keys or even on a belt look of your jeans. Come see for yourself!

American Apparel Samples.

2008-02-13T15:47:00.001-08:00

One of the many reasons why California Select is different is because we carry samples of American Apparel merchandise that we don't carry at any other location. When we say samples we mean items that are in pre-production or may never end up being mass-produced. Do you want something new from AA that no one else owns? Come check out the new digs.

A lot of jeans, tons of new colors. All $30, what a deal.

Look at this dress! Lame gold tank oversized dress. Loving it, especially to wear with tights or even wear it as a beach cover up in the summer.

No, this Isn't a dream. American Apparel made a sample of a crushed velvet raglan just like the already made tri-blend and sheer jersey version. You have to come see it to believe it, so soft and lovely.

Pattern ? Yes! Soft fabric. This sample is a mix between the figure skating tank dress made from the nylon tricot and the scoop back mini dress. The best part is that this dress is made from rochelle satin.

Silk, silk and more silk!
