Cult Gaia Now Open | Palisades Village
Cult Gaia opened its Palisades Village storefront at the end of June, according to an email sent from the development.
“Come explore the world of Gaia,” read the emailed statement. “A lifestyle brand that designs objets d’art—heirloom pieces that will live in your closet forever.”
The store, according to the email, offers accessories, handbags, ready-to-wear and shoes.
“The cornerstone of Cult Gaia’s DNA has been forged with the ideal of creating objets d’art that make you look twice,” read the Palisades Village website. “Since its inception, the company has grown from accessories into a full-fledged lifestyle brand.”
The brand first revealed plans to open in Palisades Village, in the space previously occupied by Cuyana (which closed January 28), at the start of the year.
