Raggedy Threads
Q&A; with Jaime Jam
1. Please give a brief description of your business and services provided.
Raggedy Threads is a leading purveyor of stylish, unique, and deeply inspirational vintage apparel. We have a passion for quality vintage, one that is matched only by our dedication to make it easily accessible.
2. How did you get started?
I was sick of working behind a desk and needed an outlet to express my creativity through fashion. So, I took the plunge and decided to take the risk.
3. Why is Downtown LA, Little Tokyo, and the Arts District community important to you?
I've had stores in West Covina and other parts of Los Angeles, but Little Tokyo is the only place where I feel at home.
4. As an entrepreneur / business owner, what advice can you give for success to our entrepreneurs?
Have someone you can confide in when starting your business venture. Mine was my mother and she was invaluable to my success.
5. Name one thing interesting / quirky about you and/or your business.
I collect taxidermy.
Our surrounding community sustains us, and thus, it is imperative that our members strive to be good neighbors.
In light of this, we would like you to meet some of these fine people first-hand – local shopkeepers,
restaurant owners, and entrepreneurs that serve as ongoing inspiration to us.
