Brentwood Country Mart

Ever since it opened in 1948, this labyrinth-like red barn complex, with more than 20 boutiques, has been a celebrity magnet (everyone from Elizabeth Taylor to Reese Witherspoon has shopped there). At Sugar Paper, you’ll find letterpress notes and leather calendars as well as exquisite wrapping paper. Inside Roberta Roller Rabbit are kurtas, totes, and quilts in punchy, colorful hand- block-printed patterns. And at Calypso and Calypso Home, silk tunics and cowhide coasters will enchant even the hardest-to-shop-for friend.
