About Us

Gateleven was born in 1996 from a pioneering vision and a determination to challenge boundaries – a solid path that proved to be successful, giving Gateleven the status of a reference in premium retail. Fashion, sports and travel are the three worlds we explore through distinct concepts, all under the Gateleven umbrella. Our goal is, quite simply, to transform every interaction with our spaces into a unique experience. By embracing new trends, we innovate with a people-centred approach and continuously renew our customers’ experience.
