Matrushka Construction is a clothing boutique that sells unique hand-sewn and silkscreened apparel, which ranges in style from conservative and demure, to funky and punk. Each piece is unique and made from “leftover” remnant bolts of fabric found locally by owner/designer Laura Howe. Garments are constructed by the locally-based Matrushka team and brought to the store daily. It specializes in cocktail and special-occasion dresses and also offers a variety of jackets, blazers, blouses and men’s T-shirts. It accepts custom orders and offers in-store alterations. Howe is a member of the Greater Griffith Park Neighborhood Council and hopes to create more local environmental sustainability.
