Pacific Palisades Shops

Nonprofit, female-focused, and fair-trade, The Little Market is our Pacific Palisades go-to for thoughtful gifts, stunning homewares, and (best baby gift ever) the tiniest leather moccasins you ever did see. Better yet, the beautifully designed rattan trays, acacia salad bowls, and fringed booties are handmade by artisan women from tough-to-access communities throughout Africa and Latin America, among others. The founders regularly travel the globe sourcing every incredible, handcrafted item in the store.

COVID-19 update: The bevy of stores at Palisades Village are open for socially distant shopping, with many offering curbside pickup and online services. Rick Caruso, the real estate mogul behind the Grove and the Americana, has built, in his signature classic California style, 2019’s answer to the mini mall. It’s contemporary, mostly outdoors (this is LA, after all), and frankly, too beautiful to be called a mall at all. Veronica Beard, Jennifer Meyer Jewelry, and Vince are just a sampling of the thirty-three stores on the property that manages to feel more like a quaint little village than a retail experience. The restaurants deliver, with Edoardo Baldi’s (of famous Beverly Hills E. Baldi Ristorante), Sweet Laurel Bakery, and the more casual Edo Little Bites leading the charge. COVID-19 disclaimer: We are working hard to keep our listings as up to date as possible (deliveries, outdoor dining, etc.), but given the evolving nature of local COVID-19 restrictions, we recommend double-checking the information in this guide with any business you plan on visiting. Also, please note that we have not vetted any businesses listed within our guides for their compliance with applicable safety…

An ethical home brand that seeks to empower artisans economically while preserving their traditional craft, St. Frank works with artisan organizations from Free Trade to sustainably source colorful, beautifully crafted home goods from around the globe.

Though its Pacific Palisades location feels a little far-flung, this mini-department store justifies the trip: At 2,000 square feet, it’s expansive but manageable, and the racks are filled with everyone from Alexander Wang and Rag & Bone, to Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen. Don’t miss the shoe and bag selection, which includes the greatest hits from Balenciaga, Christian Louboutin, and Lanvin.
