Today we’d like to introduce you to Lang Tran.
Hi Lang, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Our Little Stand launched in December of 2019 out of our humble 1 bedroom apartment in Los Angeles. I had just left my 15+ year career in fashion. Travis, my fiance, needed a change of scenery from his landscape design work, so we joined forces and launched our concept shop selling plants, curated pottery, and fair-trade artisan-made products. It’s been wonderful hosting pop-ups in our neighborhood while cultivating community. We have connected with so many lovely people; it’s been fun! Our goal is to become more mobile with our business, and aim to take our pop-ups on the road!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It’s definitely been a learning curve. Learning about different markets, what people are willing to spend their money on, all during a pandemic. Covid has definitely posed its fair share of challenges. We have learned a lot this year.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Our Little Stand is a special place to shop. We offer an abundance of house plants for the beginner, moderate, and expert plant parent. We also curate an assortment of artisanal pottery and accessories to pair with your plant.
But we aren’t just a plant shop. We partner with artisans worldwide to bring beautifully-crafted heartfelt treasures to the marketplace. Our thoughtful and collaborative pieces are 100% fair-trade, handmade, and unique. Our goal is to bring you products that will encourage a thoughtful way to shop and give.
Last but not least, our apothecary offering is 100% hand-poured, vegan, non-toxic and a safe solution to soothe your mind, body and spirit.
Every time you shop Our Little Stand, you are taking a stand with us. Together we are supporting artisans worldwide, small and local businesses, and communities in rural and under-developed countries.
What was your favorite childhood memory?
