the home of radical pleasure.

Heralded as the home of radical pleasure, Flamingo Estate is high atop the hills of Los Angeles, hidden by a lush orchard and dense gardens. It’s a pleasure-obsessed home of sun-worship, folk mythologies, and psychedelic remedies grown by farmers they know and trust. And has provided immense inspiration for both the creation of our Brooklyn shop and for how we live our lives.
