Guide to Women Owned Businesses

At ROW DTLA, we’re proud to say that one-third of the businesses in our vibrant district are women-owned. These incredible entrepreneurs are shaping industries, creating jobs, and offering unique experiences that contribute to the diverse and thriving community we have here. From fashion to food, wellness to design, our women-owned businesses are at the heart of what makes ROW so special. We've created a guide to help you celebrate and support them too.

‍FLASK & FIELD: Part wine shop, part spirit haven, and 100% the place to be if you love a good drink. Founder Miriam Yoo has always been “a good drinker and a good shopper,” so she made a shop that blends both. Swing by for free wine tastings, good vibes, and your next favorite bottle.
