Olive Ateliers — Local services in Los Angeles

I’ve been shopping around for cool pieces for our garden landscape and my friend recommended Olive Ateliers as the best place to find a limestone fountain. My girlfriend and I wanted to add a lived in, vintage Mediterranean look to our home and we were honestly blown away by their assortment of vintage pottery, Olive jars, limestone troughs and fountains. Most variety we have seen yet in our search. Tons of options for rustic home or Mediterranean garden. They have a range of options from cast troughs to vintage troughs and antique troughs from France, in all shapes and sizes. They can convert any pot or trough into a fountain. The staff were so educated, friendly and helpful. We mostly worked with Hannah who walked us through the options and prices. We were stoked with how affordable the pricing was for super unique finds, way more affordable than we had found to date. They converted our vintage trough into a fountain in a few days to meet our deadline and delivered to our home. We also got an olive jar, and some vintage vessels from Morocco for the house. The owner came over and showed us photos of the olive jars when they used to be buried underground to store olive oil. Super cool to learn about the history. Anyways, all in all great experience, nice authentic people, affordably priced vintage and unique decor and home finds. Wish we had a bigger house, we would have...

This place is a haven for interior designers, collectors, or just anyone who appreciates items and objects with a rich story. The team at Olive Ateliers sources, imports and curates items from all over the world and opens to the public with a new “drop” twice a month on Saturdays from 9am-2pm.

They even sourced an ancient olive tree from Northern California that stands inside the center of their Atelier, surrounded by objects expertly arranged by their team.

Inside is filled with vintage vases and pots from Turkey (ranging from $90-$875), elm wood benches & stools (ranging from $110-$175), wood bowls ($45+), antique marble plates ($50), breadboards ($70-$120) and cabinets / large furniture ($1950+). While you’re paying a premium, the quality of the items speak for themselves.

My tip: get there early. Like an hour and a half early. People will literally be lining up outside, and the pro shoppers will bring little chairs to sit while they wait. They open their doors and allow a manageable number of people inside, where it’s literally a mad dash to find the items that speak to you, where you’ll place your name or “hold” them, or simply carry them if not too large as you peruse the rest of the store. Almost everything is claimed within the first hour and a half. Think Black Friday sale...

A friend forwarded an IG reel from @oliveateliers and I fell instantly head-over-heels. Their IG game is top—kudos to their content creator(s)! I just moved into a new place and was looking for some pieces that would give me texture and warmth, so I got up early and sat myself in line at their space on Mateo in DTLA. Gotta say, the "top" experience was a red thread for this team... everything from communicating in advance of the pop-up to the coffee and breakfast cart outside available for the early arrivers, the pens and hold tags that were so thoughtfully provided, to the team inside the space who were available to answer any questions. It was by far one of the best retail experiences I have ever had. I went home with a few perfect items and eagerly await the arrival of a large, jaw-dropping statement piece that is perfection. Well curated, beautifully executed. Thank...
