Bonjour Fête Slated to Reopen in New Space in June
By SARAH SHMERLING | Editor-in-Chief
As Golden Goose welcomed its first customers at its new Palisades Village store, Bonjour Fête reported plans of moving to a different spot within the development.
Golden Goose, which opened on Friday, April 26, in the space previously occupied by FRAME on Swarthmore Avenue, is a “luxury fashion and accessories brand founded on the value of Perfect Imperfection.” It offers a “Venice-inspired” collection of accessories, “for men and women and the world of co-creation.”
The 1,300-square-foot space opened with a “strong selection of men’s and women’s footwear.” Golden Goose’s latest handbag collection will become available at the Palisades’ store in the coming months.
“The brand has become synonymous with high-quality materials made to last, meticulous attention to detail, an iconic lived-in signature aesthetic and bringing the Italian art of hand-made tradition to the rest of the world,” according to the Palisades Village website.
The brand encourages people to “immerse themselves in the Golden World through Co-Creation,” which is available daily at Palisades Village.
“This highly unique customization experience gives customers the opportunity to participate in the design of one-of-a-kind accessories together with Golden Goose Dream Makers, who ultimately translate each story into wearable art,” the website continued.
The Golden Goose Palisades Dream Maker will be available to “dream up Co-Created footwear gifts with customers ahead of, and in celebration of, Mother’s Day” on Friday, May 10, and Saturday, May 11.
On the other side of Palisades Village, Flannel closed its Palisades Village store on March 30, with signage going up reporting that boutique party supply shop Bonjour Fête—with its iconic pink door—would be coming soon in its place.
“A destination for the everyday host, the shop is home to a carefully curated selection of unique tableware, party decor, gifts and entertaining home goods, all with a French flair,” read the Palisades Village website.
The store will close its current location on Sunday, May 12, with the plan to hopefully reopen in the new space by June 1. Bonjour Fête CEO and Founder Rachel Huntington said the brand is “thrilled” to be moving “just outside of The Park.”
“This location is known for being extremely family-friendly, where parents and children frequently gather for picnics, storytime and other fun activities,” Huntington said. “We’re confident that our new location will provide us with the perfect opportunity to … create new memories.”
The store will reopen with a “renewed focus” on serving “valued customers in Pacific Palisades.” Huntington said they have been “actively listening to clients’ needs and preferences,” “working hard to create” its own party line that caters to those needs.
“Over the years, we have received feedback about the need for more beautiful and versatile basics, and we have responded by creating high-quality products that meet those requirements,” Huntington continued. “Our inspiration comes from Palisades shoppers who are trendsetters in their own right. We are proud to serve them, and be a part of their community and celebrations.”
The shop will offer “holiday-specific party supplies, decor and gifts” during each holiday season—in a manner Huntington described as similar to a holiday pop-up.
“Bonjour Fête has seen so much growth as a brand, and I am grateful for the support of our local community and appreciative of their support,” Huntington concluded. “Being a part of so many birthdays, life moments and holidays gives me endless amounts of joy.”
Another tenant that is slated to open soon at Palisades Village is Cult Gaia, which will take the place of the now-closed Cuyana sometime this summer.
