Why Marriage?
Why Marriage?
"It's like a marriage and it's the longest commitment I've ever had to anything in my life."
Ronnie Campone, owner, on skateboarding
Marriage is a skate shop at 1616 Sunset Blvd in Echo Park, run by Ronnie Campone, a New York skater, and his wife Kat Typaldos. Ronnie picked the name so nobody would guess it was a skate shop: "It had to be something to make people be like, what is this? Marriage? What the hell is that?"
Inside you'll find the hardware skaters actually ride, a wall of hats, and our own tees, screen-printed in the back in small runs. The shop decks are custom painted and hand screened here, each one a one-off. Skate it or hang it.
"A spot for the kids to hang out after school, where people in the skateboard world can pop in and say, 'what's up?' There's a couch, there's a TV."
Ronnie, on what he wanted the shop to be
Cosmo and Kona run the place. Come say hi.
"Ronnie is the goat!! Got two shirts here, super cool environment and awesome products. Plus, we got to hang out with his dog. Definitely recommend checking it out"
