For the Shoppers:
With outposts in Palm Beach and Charleston, lifestyle and clothing brand Julia Amory has joined the shopping scene in Southampton. Of-the-moment fashion brand TWP opened a charming seasonal shop in downtown Sag Harbor. Nearby, Blue & Cream opened its biggest boutique yet. Notably, Henry Lehr moved its Sag Harbor shop to the former Sylvester & Co. Modern General Store space on Main Street. Tom Brady brought CardVault to East Hampton’s Newtown Lane. Gathering Marketplace, a shared storefront featuring local businesses and artisans, also opened in East Hampton at 82 Park Place. And while the beloved shingle-clad Chanel store is no longer open, London Jewelers will open a Rolex boutique in the same space later this summer.
See and Be Seen:
Dolce & Gabana has transformed the beach club and decks at Gurney’s Montauk Resort, where umbrellas and chaises are outfitted in the fashion brand’s signature Blu Mediterraneo Collection; there is also a pop-up shop. The Colony Palm Beach bought the Hedges Inn, bringing its signature flair (and Swifty’s) out East.
For the Foodies:
Sagaponack General Store has already made its rounds on social media, but after a five-year renovation by Frank Greenwald, the hotspot is open for a morning coffee or afternoon pick-me-up. Of course, New York City favorites have made their way out East: BonBon and Sag Harbor Tavern in Sag Harbor, Camp Rubirosa and Crazy Pizza in East Hampton, Arthur & Sons in Bridgehampton, Bagatelle and Palm Beach-founded Mary Lou’s in Montauk.
