on the prarie

"d- this top called to me. we were in tavin boutique 

talking to erin and i kept over at it. 

the paillettes are the perfect size,

giving a stronger dimension than sequins. 

& the weight of the skirt brings a richness all its own. 

i added my boyfriend's hat, lani's belt, 

& my shoes and ring. 

this is my interpretation of being on the prarie. 

b- while dani was drooling over tavin's gold top, 

i was staring at a bold fringe necklace in the corner.  

once i got it in my hands, i knew i wanted it to 

inspire my whole look.  next i reached for this 

beautiful blue leather pencil skirt and a more 

subtle gold turtleneck. then we headed out to 

griffith park for a sunny sunday stroll."

-The Smoking Nuns

 peeking

d- vintage top, skirt, boots, and belt, threadsence ring. 

b- vintage sweater and skirt, 

wild diva heels, forever 21 ring

"thank you again to erin at tavin boutique.

it was such a pleasure getting to meet you& 

visit your beautiful shop." The Smoking Nuns

A Large & warm THANK YOU AGAIN to The Smoking Nuns

tavin boutique

http://www.thesmokingnuns.com


"d- the moment you walk into erin tavin's boutique 
nestled in echo park you are immediately 
transported to another world. it's a combination 
of nineteenth century bohemian prairie mixed 
with twentieth century evening glamor.we spent a 
sunday afternoon with erin and got a feel for 
her world. she energetically greeted us but then 
quickly apologized and excused herself. 
she was already working with a customer 
when we walked in and erin gives her full 
attention to her clientele. it's refreshing. 
she connects, and not in an impersonal put-on 
retail kind of way. she creates relationships, 
so when she's out finding pieces for her boutique 
she usually has a customer in mind. erin opened 
her store on a whim while driving by the vacant 
store front on echo park avenue. with out 
telling her husband, she signed a lease and 
needed to open the doors in six weeks. it was 
her husband who helped to create the world you 
step into. there are beautiful custom shelves, 
chandeliers, and a desk made from a vintage 
filing cabinet.by the end of the day we felt 
like we had created our own relationship 
with erin, gave her hugs, then headed back out 
into the real world. thank you erin for 
spending a lovely afternoon with us. 
stay tuned for looks from tavin boutique."

Tavin

Article By Andrea Bell, WGSN

Tavin, Los Angeles

"Owned and operated by Erin Julie Tavin, this concept boutique presents a cleverly curated collection of vintage clothing, redesigned vintage clothing, modern avant-garde designer pieces, books, lifestyle products and object d’art.The inspirations behind Tavin are as varied as the boutique itself - Parisian boutiques, photography, European flea markets, Big Sur, nature (namely green forests, waterfalls, the wild sea and dark skies) and Erin’s own childhood in New York City.

Tavin says the small-town feel of the community is one of the reasons for choosing the store's location."There are many artists in the area and the shop has a communal feel. If you’re going for location,Robertson Boulevard would have been a better location with all the foot traffic and actresses, but then I would not have this great community here."Popular with stylists, designers and international jet-setters, Tavin's store is stocked purely according to her tastes as she is the only buyer and is about her merchandise."I choose items by colour and fabric (the feel is very important) and texture - patterns and of course the drape and shape of the piece. Sometimes I shop by label - for instance, I love anything Cacharel, especially the old cottons."Erin is also responsible for the vintage and reworked vintage clothing, which is in high demand for her clientele. "A big aspect of the work is that I redo many pieces in the shop, so I’m always looking at a piece of clothing with that in mind. Can I modernise this piece? Can it be cool and hip and easy to wear? Will it look fresh and work as a piece?" Erin tries every item of clothing on before she purchases it, ensuring a proper fit and feel.

She cites "overall look and feel" as the most important aspect of buying. The shop has garnered accolades for its eclectic VM, which Tavin is also responsible for. "I am very, very particular about what sits next to what in the shop and exactly where it is displayed. The inspiration is my own visual world that I have very clearly defined in my mind at all times.It’s also knowing how to mix the vintage with the more modern in such a way that will surprise the customer and they’ll not have to classify everything. It’s very important that things look fresh and in vogue in terms of the display." Tavin holds community events frequently, with the most popular being the in-store Little Birds reading series curated by LA Times writer Steffie Nelson."

Treasures at Tavin

october 5, 2011

" Tavin Boutique is a gem of a store in Echo Park in the old Show Pony store front which was Kime Buzzelli's store and gallery. Erin Tavin has such an incredible eye, that I literally gave a little gasp when I entered her inner sanctum filled with unique vintage and local artisan pieces. There is a unique eclectic mix of South Western ponchos, Victorian lace dresses and gorgeous folk dresses from Afghanistan. Erin tags all her items with little stories which add to the magic! "
