Usually when we step inside a castle, we keep our eyes peeled for treasures like William and Harry. When we visited Draper’s Castle Couture last week, there weren’t any prizes of the princely kind, though we did behold enough handsome treats to hold over our initial craving.

Only a shy two months old, Castle Couture is serving up a collection of L.A.-worthy high-end apparel for girls and guys. We spied shelves of cool denim and racks of breezy button-downs for dudes, but naturally, it was the vortex of women’s designer jeans, colorful tanks and feminine jackets that we got sucked into.

An almost-frilly, deconstructed Da-Nang blouse greeted us at the door, along with a table paved with tattoo-esque Ed Hardy tees. We rifled through racks of Kowboy & Co. T-shirts and mini trenches by Twill 22. We got a crush on a group of patterned scarves by none other than Lucky Brand. (Who knew Lucky was getting so stylish?)

But what really stole our hearts was the big ol’ rack of denim housing pretty stovepipes from People’s Liberation, Blue Tattoo and Joe’s (our personal favorite). There was even a nice selection of capri and knee-length varieties in hip washes and flattering cuts, ideal for your summer beat-the-heat arsenal.

You’ll also see some jewelry, some belts and some girl-centric items for boudoir. Like we said, when we need a handsome treat in the form of apparel—or maybe just a new pair of designer duds—this might be the place we’ll go. No British accents necessary.
