FAQ

Where are you?

1194 S La Brea Ave, Los Angeles — in Mid-City. The café pours Mon–Thu 7am–9pm and Fri–Sun 8am–midnight; the boutique is open 10am–7pm every day.

Do you take reservations for the café?

The café is walk-in. For gatherings of eight or more, supper clubs, or private events, write to hello@houseofmena.com and we'll set the long table.

How do sizes run?

Every designer cuts differently — that's the point of a multi-brand house. Each product page lists the available sizes; when a piece runs small or large we say so in the description. Still unsure? Email us your usual size and we'll measure the actual garment on the rail.

Are the products authentic?

Everything in the house comes directly from the designer or maker — most of it via wholesale partnerships we negotiated brand by brand, some of it walked into the boutique by the designers themselves. There is no middle market.

Can I buy a gift card?

Yes — digital gift cards are available at checkout in any amount, and physical ones at the register. They never expire and work in the café and the boutique alike.

What are the Turkish cup readings?

Every second Saturday after 6pm, Amina reads coffee grounds at the café — order a Turkish coffee, finish it properly, flip the cup and join the queue. Free with your coffee; wishes not guaranteed.

Do you ship internationally?

Not yet — for now we ship within the United States. International shipping is coming soon, and we'll let you know here and at checkout once it opens. Full details on the shipping page.

Can my brand be stocked in the house?

We review new designers and makers from the region and its diaspora on a rolling basis. Send a line sheet and your story to hello@houseofmena.com — we read everything.
