Shuttered: COLCHA Abbot Kinney

After nearly 8 years in business on Abbot Kinney, interior designer Sue Cowie has closed the doors to her furniture, art, accessories and interior design business “COLCHA” at 1416 Abbot Kinney.

Cowie will still be taking on interior design jobs, and can be contacted at 310.743.3837. She mentioned that Abbot Kinney stopped being fun as a shop owner about two years ago, and the recent LA Times article about the street pretty much summed it up.
