Decorative Gifts
Objects can transform a space and infuse it with a bit of character. Find something special for yourself or a loved one at any number of boutiques on El Paseo. For a unique treasure packed with personality, head to Earth Spirits. For fine crystal, try Baccarat. At Fig + Nash, you’ll discover a trove of modern wares and colorful coffee table books. In addition to luxury linens, Between the Sheets offers easy hostess gifts. Rancho Relaxo is perfect for a trinket or a T-shirt inspired by the desert. Or give the gift of meditation with a crystal singing bowl from Divine Sound.
Where Art Thrives
A spirit of generosity and warmth greets visitors the moment they enter any gallery on El Paseo, where consultants are welcoming and willing to share their expertise with collectors at every level. Joy and passion surrounding fine art are hallmarks of CODA Gallery, shown here, an El Paseo landmark specializing in contemporary works that has resonated with collectors for more than 35 years. Pop art steals the show at Dawson Cole Fine Art, while light sculptures prevail at Melissa Morgan Fine Art. There’s something for everyone, so make a day of it and plan an art walk.

New on the Block
In Fall 2023, The Shops on El Paseo welcomed a world leader in fine furniture to the neighborhood. A veritable temple of design, the French brand Roche Bobois has perfected the art of haute décor over the last seven decades. With a wide range of styles on offer, the sophisticated French brand is perhaps best known for its playful shapes and colors, like the curvy Bubble sofa.
