Elevate Your Lifestyle with Rare Finds Exclusive to Gilt
Beyond its popularity as a fashion shopping site, Gilt has also garnered attention for "Gilt City," which offers exclusive experiences like spa treatments and restaurant menus at Gilt prices. The constantly updated services are drawing significant interest. In May, "Gilt Home" was launched, offering numerous products available only at Gilt in Japan and reinventing the site as a total lifestyle curator.
As with its fashion offerings, Gilt Home will feature daily member-exclusive sales. Here, we highlight three notable sales, including fashion, scheduled to begin from the end of June.
AELLON
Scheduled for August onwards
AELLON is a furniture brand by the Brooklyn design collective, Uhuru. With a theme of balancing sustainability and avant-garde art, they use reclaimed materials such as old whiskey barrels, discarded bicycles, and broken electronics. Their motto, "Beauty exists in function," maximizes the inherent beauty of these materials through reuse.
The materials evoke a sense of nostalgia for their past lives. Their work is also highly regarded as art, with pieces exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum.
Tucker
Scheduled from June 29, 9:00 PM to July 4, 3:00 AM
Tucker, a New York-based brand, is known for its colorful original prints, particularly its "Tucker blouse." The concept is to add unique color to classic, easy-to-wear items. Each original print is named after a story that inspired its design, captivating New Yorkers with a diverse range of retro and girly prints. This sale will feature Gilt-exclusive cushion covers.
