True Religion HQ Relocates

True Religion Apparel Inc. has relocated its headquarters to a new facility just east of the Los Angeles Fashion District.

The marketer of True Religion jeans has taken about 20,000 square feet of office and warehouse space at 1525 Rio Vista Ave., located in the East Los Angeles manufacturing core.

The new facility is nearly triple the size of the company’s previous headquarters, based in El Segundo, Calif. The company will conduct all administrative and distribution activities from the new facility.

True Religion executives said the extra space was needed to accommodate growth. The company’s shipments for its latest quarter are up 50 percent over last year. The company has $5 million in backlog orders for accounts including Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s and approximately 300 boutiques. About half of the company’s business is international. —R.M.
