Inside Vans’ First DTLA Community-Driven Retail Space

Vans opens its first retail store and community space in Downtown Los Angeles. Kim Matsoukas, senior manager of sustainability, shares the mind-set behind the new space.

Vans has opened first store and community space in Downtown Los Angeles, prioritizing the needs of the community and giving broader thought to the definition of sustainability.

Amidst the red-hot focus on climate, corporate focus on building sustainable communities has been largely overlooked.

In partnership with Monster Children, Vans introduces Studio808, a lounge and workshop space above the DTLA store.
The DTLA store will have a wide range of Vans footwear, apparel and accessories.
