AERIN—a luxury label founded by its namesake Aerin Lauder—opened its first West Coast store in Palisades Village on October 17.
The Pacific Palisades location marks AERIN’s third retail space nationwide, joining stores in Palm Beach and Southampton.
AERIN Palisades Village is designed to offer a curated selection of products from the brand, as well as pieces from different designers and artisans, “expressing the effortlessly elevated style and sensibility of the California destination,” according to a statement.
“The new store beautifully encapsulates Aerin’s passion for travel, fashion and artisanal design, offering a thoughtfully curated assortment of beauty products, home decor, fashion and accessories,” the statement continued. “All reflecting the effortless sophistication of Southern California.”
AERIN has taken over the space previously occupied by Bonjour Fête, which moved to an alternate location within the development earlier this year. Bonjour Fête is now located between McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams and Buck Mason.
The Palisades Village space was designed in collaboration with interior designer Stephen Sills, drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean style of the 1960s and 1970s.
“The charming, light-filled space exudes understated glamor, with furniture and decor sourced by Aerin from around the world, including unique finds from the Stork Club in Comporta, Portugal,” the statement read.
The space holds Arnold Madsen’s Sheepskin Clam Chairs—for “character and warmth”—complemented by vintage ceramics from Guido Gambone and photographs by Lachlan Bailey.
AERIN Palisades Village has a selection of vintage home decor and jewelry from the brand’s new Heirloom Collection, as well as in-store exclusives from the home collection, including Murano glassware in a variety of colors.
“The fashion offerings at AERIN Palisades Village will showcase a unique selection of feminine, coastal styles from designers such as Maria de La Orden, Alix of Bohemia, Julia Amory, Dovima Paris, Rebecca de Ravenel and Lizzie Fortunato, as well as exclusive products by Cala de La Cruz, Soler and Ten Thousand Things,” according to the statement. “The assortment and brands will change seasonally.”
Julie Amory and AERIN will launch a capsule collection this fall, inspired by a shared love of florals and vacation-ready wardrobe. The collection will be available beginning November 15.
“I have always been inspired by the effortless glamor and elevated simplicity of Southern California,” Lauder, founder and creative director of AERIN, said. “The charm and rich heritage of the Pacific Palisades aligns perfectly with the brand’s sensibility. Inspired by the beauty of its surrounding landscape, the store features soothing color palettes, natural textures and vibrant accents that capture the unique spirit of this sunny destination.”
