What’s Behind the World of Gajah? - Celebrating 10 years!

From hidden treasures to full-scale lifestyle centre… When creator and owner of Gajah Home, Sophia Nassief, embarked on her ten year journey of travelling, collecting, meeting people and discovering new worlds, she never thought that her love for sharing her exotic finds would one day emerge into a store that was a reflection of her life’s work. Coming from a family rich in history and entrepreneurial spirit, Gajah began with the humblest of ideas and now has blossomed into a decidedly different approach to retail.

Hobby knocked and opportunity answered. Gajah started as merely a hobby of sorts. To travel is to explore, to explore is to discover and what is discovery if it is not shared? With that guiding principle Sophia, warmly known to most as Sophie, began to import her latest finds from across the globe to be sold in a quaint shop on the South Coast that whispered of far flung tales and spoke to the adventurer at heart. Today the store remains deeply rooted in global finds but has now taken on a different style of retail that puts customers first and looks to engage them at every level.

Novel ideas make way for an enlightened shopping experience. One way that Gajah has changed the face of retail is by creating a space that allows customers to be immersed in design within reach. All too often, design is by appointment only and gives the sense that it can only be achieved by professionals who tell you what you need. At Gajah’s newest addition, The Inspiration Centre, customers are not only greeted by a welcoming hostess, but they

are also provided with free design advice, complimentary beverages and a lounge area to dream up their next project. Looking for products not carried in-store, you can also special order items at your leisure to complete your design.

Why stop there? Gajah has also taken to Facebook not merely to promote their products but to give helpful, honest and trustworthy advice on everything related to homes, gardening, design and overall better living. As part of Gajah’s 10th Anniversary Celebration , Gajah is currently offering an Escape to Dominica Giveaway where (1) lucky winner will be awarded a trip for (2) to Dominica. The package includes: airfare, luxury hotel accommodations and a rental vehicle. In addition, Gajah Home is making it easier for customers to get what they want, with their Free Layaway plan. Customers can choose want they want, make a deposit and take up to three months to pay the balance. How simple is that?!

Discover a world of difference. There's never been a better time to visit Gajah. From entirely new product ranges, a brand new store look and customer service that rivals the best in the business, Gajah is the place to be and just in time for the Holidays.
