New at South Coast Plaza: Hoka
03.01.23
Sneaker enthusiasts will love the new Hoka boutique that just opened at South Coast Plaza. It’s known for max cushioning paired with a magically lightweight feel – popular styles include the Clifton and the Bondi.
Conceived by three French adventure athletes in 2009, the highly engineered sneaks with a massively thick midsole helped to usher in the craze for thick kicks. They were originally conceived as trail running shoes that could withstand the unforgiving, steep terrain of European mountain races.
But during development, the trio quickly saw how perfect their prototype was for running. Maximum cushion but is surprisingly lightweight. The brand officially launched in 2010, and a dozen years later, the company now has a vast array of styles for both athletes and those who just love comfy, cool sneakers.
Hoka is at Level 3, Crate & Barrel Wing at South Coast Plaza. 714.716.2295

New at South Coast Plaza: Reformation
02.26.23
Reformation, the source for flirty, feminine model-off-duty pieces that twentysomethings adore and make fortysomethings feel like they’re 20 again just opened at South Coast Plaza.
Reformation was born when former model Yael Aflalo started customizing vintage dresses and selling them out of an L.A. storefront back in 2009.
The designs took off. By 2013, she opened her own factory in L.A. and started selling her designs online with big sustainability goals in mind. By 2015, the label had declared itself carbon neutral. Reformation publishes quarterly sustainability reports and uses everything from its own materials to deadstock fabric and repurposed vintage clothing.
The company slogan: “Being naked is the #1 most sustainable option. We’re #2.” And every week they debut a new limited-edition collection and work with small batches that are produced based on demand.
Open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Saturday; 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.
Level 1, Bloomingdale’s Wing at South Coast Plaza. 209.437.0250
