Orange County
Everyone from Native American dancers to Hollywood costumers visits this one-of-a-kind shop selling supplies for Native American–inspired clothing, art and crafts: beads and bead looms, swatches of buffalo fur, buckskin by the pound for starters, not to mention art by Native Americans and blankets from Pendleton that pay tribute to the designs.
About the only buys that aren't authentic are the eagle feathers, because it's illegal to harvest feathers from this endangered species.
