Back To School Guide

Back-to-school season is here, and whether you're sending your kid off to their first day or heading back to campus yourself, ROW DTLA has you covered. These aren’t your average big-box picks—these are the pieces that spark creativity, confidence, and a little bit of envy in the hallway.

They’re the one who sketches during lectures, obsesses over typography, and treats their outfit like a mood board. They appreciate form and function—and they’re always on the lookout for pieces that reflect their creative identity. Their back-to-school essentials are as thoughtfully curated as their portfolio.
