OUR BRAND

Everyone has their own unique happy place. Like laying in a field of daisies on a pile of puppies while [insert your celebrity crush here] feeds you grapes off a charcuterie board, or parallel parking in front of a crowded outdoor restaurant on a busy street as the diners inexplicably cheer on your seamlessly executed three-point turn. (Turns out, one narcissist’s happy place is another person’s hell.) At Gilly Hicks, we’re equal opportunity enjoyers, here to help you find your happy place (no matter how wtf-inducing).
