These are certainly strange and unprecedented times as we collectively try to hold the polarity of both our profound interdependence on one another as well as our intense vulnerability. These are challenging and untested waters. But we also feel optimistic that we will come through this stronger and better together, even absent a clear path for how to proceed.
Effective today, we are closing the doors of our permanent stores in New York, San Francisco, and London along with our pop-up in Aspen until April 1. Our Sundries shop in at the Rosewood Miramar Beach in Montecito will stay open as long as the hotel is open, and our store in Brentwood and pop-up in Palm Beach will stay open for the time being. It’s a fluid situation, and we will keep you updated. We will be paying all of our temporary staff for hours missed, and our full-time and part-time employees will be unaffected.
We will be keeping our e-commerce lights on while our team works from home and practices their social distancing. We are very aware of what is going on, and we are working overtime to bring you stories, recipes, and podcasts that will both inform and also soothe and entertain you. Email us at editorial@goop.com or feedback@goop.com about where we can be most helpful. We will also continue to bring you fashion and beauty stories: Besides our own growing team, we also help drive the businesses of many small, primarily female-led brands—we are trying to stay as close to business-as-usual as we can with the hope of getting as many through this as possible.
Other ideas we love: helping elderly and vulnerable neighbors shop and run errands; donating to food banks and other in-need communities; buying gift certificates to the specialty shops, boutiques, and restaurants you rely on every day in order to front them some cash while times are so uncertain. We will also be compiling more ideas and resources in the coming days. And for you: Breathe! Buy what you need out there, but resist the urge to panic hoard. And move your body as you’re able.
Tell us what you need; we’ll get through this together.
Love,
Team goop
