WEST VILLAGE — A company that sells $4,000 creams made of real gold is opening a new store in the West Village.
The store at 333 Bleecker St. will be OROGOLD's third in New York. They also have a location in East Hampton, among more than 200 stores in countries around the world, including Kuwait, Spain, Russia and the United Arab Emirates.
The company's products made with real 24-karat gold include a $498 neck-lifting and chest-firming mask, a $2,500 1-ounce "caviar" made with real caviar, and an $8,000 "Cleopatra regimen" kit that includes cream, a serum and sheets of gold.
The lease for the space was brokered by Douglas Elliman's Faith Consolo and Joseph Aquino, who also brokered the cosmetics company's first New York store at 118 East 57th St. in 2013.
"The moment OROGOLD opened in New York, I predicted it would quickly outshine other skincare collections," Consolo said in a statement.
The two-block radius around the location is already flush with high-end cosmetics vendors, including Aesop, Sisley, Jo Malone, MAC Cosmetics and NARS. Nearby local pharmacies Village Apothecary and the Organic Pharmacy also offer luxury products.
"The collection fits right into the distinct 'make-up' of this particular section of the Bleecker Street corridor," Aquino said in a statement.
Aquino said the store is expected to open in April or May.
