Los Angeles Based GK Thomason Establishes European Counterpart for Gigi Jewelry

LOS ANGELES, California — GK Thomason, headquartered in Los Angeles, California, is establishing its European counterpart in the Czech Republic to support the Gigi jewelry collection’s expansion into European retail markets. As of press time, registration of the European company is underway.

A proposed bilateral business cooperation agreement with American fashion designer and entrepreneur Noubikko P. Ulanday supports the expansion. The plan connects the Los Angeles headquarters with a European operating base for importation, buyer outreach and wholesale distribution.

For Gigi, the presentation would give prospective buyers an opportunity to examine the jewelry closely, consider its intricate details and assess how individual pieces could complement their stores’ selections. Product information, collection imagery and wholesale terms would support discussions about both design appeal and practical purchasing requirements.

Noubikko’s proposed role includes brand positioning, European launch coordination, introductions to potential buyers and assistance with commercial presentations. GK Thomason would provide the collection, samples, product specifications and production information, while coordinating quality control and fulfillment.

The approach places the designer’s identity alongside the practical work of building a retail audience. Beyond the first presentation, the program would emphasize buyer follow-up, written orders and dependable supply to encourage continuing wholesale relationships.

The draft agreement also provides for third party investors, subject to mutual approval and formal shareholder documentation. Initial ownership would be proportionate to each participant’s contribution to the agreed initial equity capital.

A dedicated Gigi Store remains a possible later development, dependent on wholesale demand, product availability and operating performance. European company registration is in progress, while launch arrangements and commercial terms remain subject to completion and approval. Exhibition dates and venues have not been confirmed.
