Baggage Collection x MAXFIELD

Founded in 1969 by Tommy Perse, Maxfield is much more than a store: it is a major cultural institution in Los Angeles, a legendary address where fashion, design, and contemporary art have intersected for over half a century. Located at 8825 Melrose Avenue, in a brutalist building with a monolithic façade, the space commands attention with its sculptural, silent presence. Inside, expansive raw concrete volumes and soft lighting create an almost museum-like atmosphere, where every garment, piece of furniture, or object is displayed as a work of art.

A visionary, Tommy Perse was among the first to introduce the spirit of Japanese designers such as Comme des Garçons and Yohji Yamamoto to California, while also showcasing radical figures like Rick Owens. Maxfield also played a key role in introducing Armani to the United States, long before the brand became a global symbol of luxury. The store goes beyond retail: it curates taste, intentionally blurring the lines between gallery, atelier, and concept store. In this space, a rare perfume can sit alongside a contemporary sculpture, a Jean Prouvé chair, or an archival Chanel piece.

Over the decades, Maxfield has become a pilgrimage site for aesthetes and collectors from around the world, a cutting-edge landmark visited as much for inspiration as for shopping. Its clientele includes artists, designers, musicians, and filmmakers, drawn to this holistic vision of luxury — simultaneously raw, intellectual, and sensual. Staying true to Tommy Perse’s spirit, the boutique continues to embody a distinct idea of Californian elegance, combining architectural boldness, aesthetic rigor, and creative freedom.
