It was founded in 2024 by Freddi Swanson and Kate Kimmel, two devoted friends and community members. Nestled in the scenic Santa Monica Mountains, it features a curated selection of fresh, organic produce, artisanal foods, flowers, and handmade goods from local farmers and vendors. With a laid-back, bohemian vibe, it’s a popular spot for locals to gather, shop sustainably, and support small businesses while enjoying the natural beauty of Topanga Canyon.

Zoila
Cambria Foden '09
Zoila was born from a desire to create effortlessly cool silver jewelry — pieces that are bold, beautifully designed, high-quality, and actually affordable. Designed in Cambria's hometown of Los Angeles, every piece reflects her belief that jewelry should feel sculptural, statement-making, and never, ever basic.
Frustrated by the endless sea of delicate, forgettable jewelry, Cambria set out to design silver statement pieces that make everyday styling anything but ordinary. Inspired by the city’s coolest — tomboy one day, super chic the next — Zoila pieces are made for those with taste, confidence, and a refusal to blend in.
Not your basic everyday jewelry — Just timeless silver staples for the effortlessly cool.
