Today's news is all about the Aussies and SaMo, apparently. Following that West Third Street outpost, Down Under-bred brand Aesop is set to open its newest apothecary shop at Santa Monica Place this Saturday.
Located at the outdoor shopping center's central plaza, the boutique will stock all of the minimalist-minded label's botanical-based range of skincare, haircare, body products, and fragrances. Just like its other five LA shops, expect the space to have its own unique design personality. Once open, the brand is also headed to Culver City's fancy mixed-use development Platform, which arrives next spring.
