1600 Pacific Ave
There are three Mollusk shops, Venice, santa Barbara, and the original in San Francisco.
They are all pretty much the same look, same stock, and same vibe, but without feeling contrived or templated.
At least not compared to the big chains or the more corporate shops with posters of sponsored riders on the walls.
This place has a weird octagonal clubhouse high up on one wall and the other wall is painted with some sort of stylized lion that is drawn to look crude but not exactly childish.
The pallet is all light wood, tan, and muted tones- which did make me wonder a little bit if this place was made for surfers or the sort of suburban instagram mom who wears tall leather boots a chunky poncho and broad brimmed hat while out grabbing a Starbucks.
I would say that woman would fit in here visually, but I don’t care because those Danny Hess surfboards are works of art.
