The family trade · Downtown LA
Manufacturing & wholesale
Yeron worked beside his father in the family’s downtown clothing business and, in time, took it over — wholesale, a retail store, manufacturing and distribution to larger retailers.

My brother. A builder, a creator — and one of the people who made our family’s fashion story possible.
He worked beside our father in downtown Los Angeles, carried the family trade forward, then built chapters of his own — in Henderson, on Melrose, and later in Israel.
A brother, a builder
He built with people, not just products
Yeron was fascinated by what makes people tick. At UCLA he studied sociology; in business, that curiosity became an instinct for customers, clothing — and the people who made a place feel alive.
Daniel taught the trade. Yeron carried it into new forms. And the work became part of the foundation Yaniv builds on today.
“He’s with me forever.”

His work
The chapters Yeron built
Henderson, Nevada
Broken Leash
Around 2006, Yeron moved to Henderson, near the Boca Park outdoor mall, to build something of his own. With Steve Esfahani he co-created the Broken Leash clothing label, which they ran until about 2012.
Melrose, Los Angeles
Identity Fashion
After Steve bought him out, Yeron returned to Los Angeles and opened Identity Fashion, his high-end boutique on Melrose, which he ran from about 2012 to 2014 — before he got sick with cancer.
The names were never just brands. Broken Leash — break free of whatever holds you. Identity — let your ideas out and be your own. Yeron lived the two of them.
A life in chapters
Los Angeles, Henderson, Melrose and Israel

A new home
The family moved to the United States and settled on Romaine Street in Los Angeles. Yeron attended Laurel Elementary School and Beverly Hills High School.

A student of people
Two years at Santa Monica College, then sociology at UCLA — he wanted to understand how society works and what makes people tick.
Downtown LA · Family business
Learning at his father’s side
All along, Yeron worked in the family’s clothing business — learning the trade directly from Daniel and eventually taking responsibility for the operation.
Around 2014 · Israel
A new chapter
Yeron moved to Israel and built a career in high-tech — loving what was new, and devoted to helping people be their best.

The heritage continues
Rekindling what the family built
Yaniv is rekindling the family heritage of fashion and style in the Los Angeles Garment District — where Daniel and Yeron’s work began, and where Asia’s supply enters through the LA harbor.
Fabric District Direct carries it forward: manufacturing, design & development, sewing, fabric buying — and help turning an idea into a brand.
