In the world of Gloria, dreams do come true.
After four years of Gloria—the creative vision of artist and designer Kristine Crabb—the time has come to bid au revoir to the Crimson Palace. April will mark the final month in The Temple, offering one last opportunity to experience Gloria’s world and claim a unique piece of its artistry.
Crabb will continue offering custom services until the end of March, providing a final chance for clients to collaborate on bespoke creations. With limited availability, those interested are encouraged to reach out as soon as possible.
Reflecting on the past four years, Gloria has been a platform for artistic expression and collaboration, bringing projects such as Gloria Parfum by CURIONOIR, Gloria suiting and ready-to-wear, and Gloria Custom pieces—designed for some of the most extraordinary weddings, artists, and professionals. Gloria’s clientele, known for their appreciation of craftsmanship and individuality, have played a pivotal role in shaping its legacy.
As this chapter comes to a close, special recognition is given to the local creative industry—the designers, photographers, artisans, suppliers, and media whose contributions have been integral to Gloria’s journey. A whānau of talent and dedication, they form the ecosystem in which Gloria thrived—one that is worth celebrating and supporting.
Yet, Gloria’s story is far from over. As an ever-evolving, interdisciplinary platform for ideas and beauty, its future remains fluid. While its next form is yet to be revealed, Crabb intends to take time to rest, restore, and reconnect with her children and garden in what she calls the Gloria afterlife. However, whispers of special projects and sensory events suggest that Gloria will continue to weave its magic in new and unexpected ways.
One thing remains certain: in the world of Gloria, dreams do come true.
