Gaia Studio began as a simple idea in our back garden: to create beautiful, high-quality things with our own hands. Alex spent 18 months teaching herself woodwork through YouTube tutorials, slowly shaping the skills that would become the foundation of everything we do today.

From those early marketplace huts to our home on the Harbour Arm, Gaia has grown into a space where craftsmanship, community and creativity meet - a place built on intention rather than speed. Every product we make and every drink we pour is created in-house here in Folkestone, using the best ingredients we can source and partnering locally whenever possible.

Our aim has always been to offer thoughtful, accessible luxury - pieces and experiences made with care, but priced for the community that supports us. Gaia is still, at its heart, a small team making things we genuinely love, and we're incredibly proud of how far we’ve come.
