6th and Detroit’s flagship store at Linden Ave. in Long Beach, California

Your personal space is just as sacred as anybody else’s. With all the little trinkets, treasured finds, and family heirlooms that are carefully displayed and beautifully arrayed, each and every space is uniquely written with your own personality. You might even say that’s what makes a space a “home”.

6th and Detroit is filled with all of these things and more.

6th and Detroit is a home décor boutique located in Long Beach, California. Founder Michelle Qazi created the brand back in 2015 as an Etsy shop, which—fun fact!—was named after the intersection of her first ever apartment in Los Angeles. When it quickly gained a huge following online, she then decided to build its flagship store in the following year, 2016.

What makes 6th and Detroit one-of-a-kind is its signature “every-era-all-together” aesthetic, which encompasses their selection of furniture and décor to homewares and kitchen utensils, all thoughtfully curated by the founder herself.

And just in time for the holiday season, their Long Beach boutique is now beginning to look a lot like Christmas—adorned with all things vibrant, festive, and merry, and filled to the brim with curations that will add even more magic to your home.

Additionally, as it’s the season of giving, 6th and Detroit partnered with tendlyn to create a sustainable packaging pair to use for purchases in-store and orders online, designed to look and feel effortlessly as gifts, should their customers choose it.

They use our Custom Tissue Paper, which is made from FSC-certified recycled paper and printed with soy-based inks, making it fully compostable, and our recyclable Custom Masking Tape“Our sun logo embodies my love for vintage and California - inspired by my very first mirror find I fell in love with that had a sun etched on it.  The font for the masking tape is very Art Deco, which I loved mixing with the retro sun because mixing eras cohesively is a part of the shop’s aesthetic.”.
