Homage

Samantha is the best gift wrapper in town. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would get gifts wrapped again. They even use corrugated cardboard instead of wrapping paper so there’s no way you can go wrong.

Jill was fantastic in helping me pick out earrings and wrapped it up so beautifully. Great shop to encourage Shop Local!

Was in the LA area for the holidays. While wandering around Colorado still looking for a few last minute gifts, some one mentioned some little shops on Holly. I’m not one for «gift» shops but was pleasently surprised at the items in this little store. They actually had a selection of gifts that are suitable for guys! They had a selection of aluminum water bottles in various capacities in a brand I hadn’t seen before. I obtained one of those. They also had a good selection of «Duke Cannon» soaps which I also obtained. I thought about a great shaving mug but wasn’t sure if a friend used shaving soap when he shaved his head.
They had quite a few «art» items and jewelry that are made by local people.
The salesperson (young girl college age) was very helpful and knowledgable about the items in the store. She did a great job with the gift wrap.
I’ll stop in again the next time I’m in town.

This store is the best place to find a gift for yourself or for someone else. It’s evident that everything in the store is selected with care and with a great eye. I would love to receive just about anything from Homage as a gift and have bought myself quite a few things since the first time I walked in.
Aside from the fantastically curated selection and quality, customer service is top notch. I just bought some earrings for some girlfriends and every single one was gift wrapped for me with even a little removable label on the back so that I could tell them apart. So thoughtful! I really love supporting this store and would recommend it to anyone looking for a gift for others or themselves.

What a darling store.
Love the eclectic mix of knick knacks and home décor they carry. I will definitely be back to do more shopping at Homage. :)

This new boutique is a great place to easily find the hard to find items/​treasures from all over the world and locally hand crafted!

Homage is such a lovely boutique! I woke up thinking I really wanted a new pair of earrings, and wandered in while waiting for food at the farmers’ market– behold, lots of unique and interesting sparkly options to choose from. I ended up picking a pair that turned out to have been designed by the owner, and many of their designers are locally based. I also found a Christmas present for my sister (months early, a record, so I can’t spill the details!). I returned this weekend for their sale, and they had many new goodies as well. I’m looking forward to coming back, there’s an octopus bracelet I’ve got my eye on…

This is a Gem of a lil store!
Everything is so unique and special, hand picked by the owner Jill. I love her gorgeous art installation in the front window! It feels like a treasure box you would discover in your travels to NY, Boston or San Francisco, but right in our neighborhood!
Love the peaceful vibe! It’s definitely worth a visit.

I love the feeling of Homage, great selections and vibes, support locally own stores.

Jill the owner is really awesome and nice! They have some very nice, creative things. The store is very cute and beautiful! Definitely worth a visit. The area is on the edge of Old Town, very quaint and artsy!

Wonderful. I stopped into Homage over the weekend just to browse, was looking for a gift for a friend — the owner and the person working there were amazing — they made great suggestions and I found the perfect gift. Gift wrapping was complimentary. Shopping here was a great experience and I will definitely be back.

I’m a fan of Jill the owner. I know her as she’s a fabulous jewelry designer by trade. Has impeccable taste.
Her boutique is filled with unique and creative artisan handicraft items of artisans that she knows, trusts and have worked with over the years.
If you need a gift, she has unique items from the lower end of the $$ scale to some high quality artisan products that are of great value. Something for everyone.
And if it is a gift, she has gorgeous gift wrapping — like her boutique, gift wrapped presents reflect the creative artist of the owner.
Even if you aren’t in need of a gift, it’s worth the visit to Homage to scope out all the amazing items they have so when you do need a gift, you’ll say ah-​ha I’m off to Homage!

I may be biased since this boutique is owned by my high school friend, Jill! Stopped by yesterday to see her and the shop! I found a perfect set of earrings for Mother’s Day and also found something for myself.
What impressed me are the different array of items (artwork) in her place! Pottery, soaps, candles, her Wasabi Jewelry line, scarves, purses, cast iron pieces… I could go on and on. Ask her about each piece and she will tell you about the artist, etc.
It was so nice to see her again after (*#&$(* number of years)!
I will definitely be back and love supporting her business!
Congrats Jill on a job well done!

Found a brand new yummy place today… Homage is a totally awesome gift store with museum quality ceramics and jewelry, candles, and other amazing home décor items! In a great location on Holly it is seriously close the the free pasadena parking located on Raymond (the backside of the Courtyard Marriott– 90 min free) So if you can’t find easy parking… its just a short skip to the shop!
Fun, fun, fun!

If you’re looking for boutique shopping and unique gifts, get off of Colorado Blvd. in Old Town. The block of Holly Street that Homage just opened at offers several small gift boutiques that are worth checking out. I went during the Grand Opening and it was too crowded to look at everything.
Homage opened last week. The owner is a jewelry designer — you’ll find her wares at the shop, along with jewelry from other local artisans. The shop carries handmade products from local designers, including ceramics and tableware. You’ll also find candles, soaps, pin cushions, cookbooks, cheeseboards, honey, purses, scarves, playing cards, wooden utensils and wood prints featuring images of LA and Pasadena.
The scarves feature geometric abstract patterns that reminded me of Lotta Jansdotter, the Swedish designer.
The items are more expensive than what you’d find at some chain store (e.g., $ 44 for a mug), but they’re local and unique. The wares would appeal to an older (middle aged) crowd.
My pick:
* Antler earrings
