ELEV8

This store is such a gem in the heart of the east village. From trinkets, to clothing, shoes, make up and beauty products. My favorites are the soaps and candles. And of course Patrick the owner is just awesome. Love Elev8!

Sales guy was super sweet and personable. What is lacking is the selection of items and most importantly the quality. Hems are lumpy/​not straight, seams are uneven, and embellishments are falling off. For example — a skirt I tried on with studs sewn on had a few already dangling and falling off. I thought, for a low price I’d just buy it and be prepared to sew the embellishments back on every time I wore it, but it was $ 50, which is way too high of a markup for such low quality product. I think the buyer for this store needs to find a better whole sale company to purchase from.

One stop shop. Honestly, this store IS everything. I shop here not only for myself but for my friends and family too. From vintage studded men’s jeans jackets to aromatic organic bath soaps theres legit something for everyone. Patrick is that cool down to earth kind of person who helps me with fashion choices. One time he suggested a grey with pink stripes flannel. Never thought i could pull it off. But now get compliments galore when i wear it out!!! I hear he’s a pretty darn good make-​up artist too! BTW, the lady that works there too is such a sweetie pie and makes me feel like royalty as soon as i walk in the door. *Hands up emoji* :)

Unprofessional. Store hours on Unilocal and on the actual door of the location says open at 11am. I arrived at 11:48am, all the lights were off and doors were locked.

I am a huge supporter of local vendors and I love the concept of this place. Patrick made my shopping experience so much fun. I was greeted with warm smiles and cupcakes! I bought a pair of chic leggings which are now one of my favorite pieces. Quality clothing, and service :)

Walked there twice today and they were not open. Very disappointed. I wish I would have known that before I purchased the Unilocal deal… since I’m from out of state.

This place sucks. We waited until Tuesday to go per their hours and they weren’t open. I won’t come back. Hey, if they felt like losing money today that’s their problem!

Like an Urban Outfitters but better! Clothes, accessories, skin care, some home items and gifts. One stop shop. Patrick is amazing, helped me put together some outfits and even retouched my makeup with some of his products. This is the customer service every store should offer. Theres something for everyone at this store and lots of fun items. Love it. Definitely one of my favorite stores to shop.
I you haven’t stopped by make sure to do so.

I’ve been following ELEV8 for about 10 years now. But before that, I have attended several fashion shows and have been a fan of his astounding work. Ever since the store opened back in West Covina, it has blossomed to be one of the best boutiques around Long Beach. With the trust and honesty thru out the years, it is definitely worth the drive coming from the west covina area. I trust Patrick Santana’s fashion knowledge and will continue to be a loyal customer. His work is simply one of a kind.

The first time I came it was closed but Patrick made my day by offering me chilled wine. I love the makeup section and the deal on Unilocal makes everything so affordable. The clothing and accessories are a mix between vintage and retro with a 90’s feel. I love the ambiance and customized services!

Great place to shop. Always new stuff with great prices. Pat the owner is knowledgable & helpful.

This place is great! The owner is phenomenal, as well as the staff! This little shop caters to the local community here in the East Village Arts District. Very open atmosphere. They’ll make you feel & look glamorous! When I first moved to the neighborhood & walked in to Elev8 to get a dress for an event, I couldn’t of left more pleased! Very attentive, & honest about what looks good on you, & what doesn’t! A must if you are looking for fashionable, cute trendy wear.

Patrick made our Valentine’s Day. This store is totally cute, everything in it! it was art walk tonight and Patrick gave us margaritas and beer and we bought about six things because everything was too cute!

I’ve always seen ads in local coffee shops for this place and one day I stumbled in to it!
While the men’s clothing selection is small, I did like the accessories that I could use for myself (black matte chain). At first I said I would be back to buy the chain! They have a buy one get one half off deal, however today the chain was gone! Luckily the guy working gave me the one off the manikin which made me happy! Being on Unilocal I redeemed the offer for half off one accessory! Good deal for me! I also liked that I got a reusable duffle like bag for my necklace!

Took the Blue Line down to Long Beach for some me time. Stopped in here once and walked right back out.
I came back later during the day and was greeted by Patrick, who was an absolute gem. It turns out that some of the makeup items and all of the brushes were designed by him.
I ended up buying a cardigan, two makeup brushes, a body oil and a body crème. Patrick was so friendly and such a sweetheart that I really didn’t want to leave (would have ended up so much more money!!). We had a few glasses of wine, talked makeup, took a selfie and followed each other on Instagram :)
The store itself was full of cute and unique pieces, nice skin care stuff and yummy soaps and lotions. The prices are moderate. The most expensive thing I saw in there was maybe $ 50.
Definitely making my way back down here when the new season starts, I’m excited to see what they’re going to carry for fall!

Patrick was absolutely amazing. Cute, trendy little store with an amazing selection, everything from cute clothing, to sexy sunglasses, & skin care products. Customer service was absolutely top notch!!! I will be adding long beach to my normal route of travel just to visit this amazing shop. When in long beach or even remotely close it is a must see!!! Love it!!! Thank you Patrick for the excellent service you are truly a gem :)

Eclectically curated and full of great vibes, ELEV8 is run by Patrick and Adrian, who have very chic tastes as evidenced by this trendy store. I visited during Long Beach Art Walk, and was instantly greeted with a glass of white wine. How can you beat that?
I bought a cute polar bear purse for my mom’s Mothers Day gift, and I was pretty stunned that it was only $ 20… I’ve seen similar items for twice that much in LA. A bunch of regulars kept coming in and out, and the energy there was friendly and chill. Definitely a neighborhood gem.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place :)
Adrian and Patrick are amazing! They really care about you leaving the store with something that looks great on you and I NEVER feel that weird energy you get when people are trying to upsell you on something you look crazy in. The clothes and accessories are fabulous and whenever I can I swing by and check out the new designers they have. Their location is convenient and their store is always super clean and its easy to find what you’re looking for.
Its my go-​to spot and I recommend this to ANYONE visiting the area.
Love you guys :)

Chic, reasonably priced, unique jewelry. Only good energy from the moment I stepped through the door. LOVE the entire ambiance of this store!
With Adrian’s help (no doubt stylish, sweet & charismatic), I purchased gray ankle boots (great tip on getting half a size up), a pretty Hamsa necklace (handmade by a current local but originally from Morocco), and a floral headband that I definitely will wear to work. OH BTW, shoes count as an accessory so I used the 50% off accessory coupon!
When it was time to checkout, he gave me a sample of locally made soap that I’m excited to try.
Overall, GREAT vibes, cute fun clothes and jewelry, with a touch of local flavor. Mosdef will be coming back.

A very nicely display and curated store with lots of goodies. The sales assistant, Adrian is incredibly nice. It feels like shopping with your personal stylist, where he will help choose which items work for you. Thanks to Adrian I got an awesome pair of grey jeans, although not vintage, but very special as it was made by young local designer. I also got a really cute plaid vintage dress and a rainbow pattern granny blouse. They also have many local beauty products and jewelries that are worth to be checked out. Read my complete review at
