Hidden Treasures

Darrell Hazen, owner and creative genius behind Hidden Treasures, started selling vintage on the side of the road in Topanga Canyon in the late 70s. In the late 80s he moved the business to its current location at 154 S Topanga Canyon Blvd. The nearly 100 year old building has been a dental office and a restaurant called The Discovery Inn where musicians like Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, Buffalo Springfield, and Neil Young would have dinner after performing at Topanga's music venue The Corral. Topanga Canyon is home for Darrell and Hidden Treasures because of its history as a sacred space for Tongva and Chumash people, hippie vibe, and tightknit artistic community.

A Los Angeles native, Darrell fell in love with vintage when he was a teenager, working with his brothers and childhood friend Ronny Kleyweg at Aaardvark's Odd Ark. He eventually became a buyer for Aaardvark’s Southern California locations, helped Ronny set up his vintage shop Animal House in Venice, and helped his brother Daniel Hazen establish Ozzie Dots Vintage on Hollywood Blvd.

Hidden Treasures is Darrell’s ongoing and constantly evolving work of art inspired by his favorite movie Indiana Jones and The Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland.
