With the forecast looking increasingly warm and sunny, we’ve started dreaming about making our summer escape to the Hamptons. A vacation spot that attracts everyone from artists to CEOs, its coastal towns are filled with charming shops and restaurants that are worth the trip Out East alone. One of our favorite Hamptons hamlets, Amagansett, has attracted a particular fandom among design aficionados—including the names behind some of our favorite brands. “It’s a perfect mix of exquisite beaches, beautiful nature, and interesting people,” says Tiina Laakkonen, who owns local fashion and home decor boutique TIINA the STORE.
Ready to plan your own Amagansett getaway? We’ve rounded up some of the best shopping destinations beloved by locals and visitors alike. Their dedication to craft, environment, and community might even have you looking to make your own base there.
Il Buco Vita & il Buco al Mare
Opened by the imitable restauranteur Donna Lennard, Il Buco Vita is full of delectable speciality foods and handmade bowls, glasses, and goods to bring the signature Il Buco touch to your table. Al Mare, their restaurant next door, is inspired by their sister restaurant Bottega il Buco in Ibiza, and serves fresh seafood with Spanish flair.
