What’s in store Out East? Now that summer has officially started, so has shopping for beach basics, sceney attire, haute home décor and market delicacies required by Hamptonites. Here’s a look at what’s new and noteworthy on the shopping scene. 

SOUTHAMPTON

Looking for a spectacular oversized vintage Persian rug or an organic handcrafted Cisco couch for the living room of your beach house? ABC Carpet and Home will be setting up shop at 1 Pond Lane this season, with its whimsical displays of globally inspired furnishings. The store will host pop ups and trunk shows for jewelry and decor throughout the season. 

There will once again be a spot for Southampton preppies to stock up on summer classics, when J.Crew opens a new space at 88 Main St. Women’s midi dresses and print bikinis will share a floor with brightly patterned children’s togs, men’s garms and roll-neck sweaters.  

Steve Madden has replaced his eponymous store at 95 Main St. with his more elevated Dolce Vita. The rotating art lines the walls will be for sale, alongside metallics including gold sandals and silver ballet flats.

If you can’t score a seat at Julian Medina’s hopping El Verano restaurant in Southampton, you can now grab some guacamole, homemade chips and roasted tomato salsa, at his adjacent gourmet shop, El Farm Market, at 101 Jobs Lane.  He will also sell Mexican tortas, lobster BLTs with tarragon dressing and delicious jarred sauces.

You no longer have to be one of the lucky insiders invited to the Elyse Walker private weekend pop ups in Hamptons homes or hotels now that an actual brick and mortar shop has opened at 57 Main St. The assortment runs the gamut from a Jessica Leone bucket hat to a Saint Laurent crochet dress, along with lots of shoes, bags and jewelry. 

After the success of her Sag Harbor store, Trish Wescoat Pound is expanding TWP to 2 Main St. in Southampton, where tailored suits, effortless shirts, and a hint of sparkle dominate the collection. 

Don’t think your old workout gear will be up to snuff for an Equinox class in Bridgehampton or Tracy Anderson in Water Mill? Pick up thin, shiny leggings in black or the new sky blue shade with a matching off-the-shoulder slouchy sweatshirt at Carbon38. The brand premiered over the winter at 44B Main St. There are also Missoni bags that can double as gym totes. 

BRIDGEHAMPTON

Enjoy one-stop shopping at The Hub, 2183 Montauk Highway. Along with Anna Mason and Cesar Galindo dresses, Teddy Cashmere sweaters, Walter Baker bags and pre-owned Chanel and Louis Vuitton, the bi-level space features furniture from Modern Drama, facials from Skinny Med Spa and exercise classes by Isaac Boots.

SAG HARBOR 

Blue and Cream, where Gwyneth Paltrow was caught smooching with Chris Martin after they announced their separation and J.Lo visited with both Alex “A-Rod” Rodriguez and Ben Affleck, has expanded to Sag Harbor’s “gingerbread house’’ at 133 Main St. Luxury brand Grey/Ven will have a dedicated space, next to pieces from Zimmermann, L’Agence, Jacob Cohën and Boglioli. Collectibles and vintage Chanel bags will be sold on the upper floor. 

Raffia slides and jelly sandals are big this summer and those must haves will be on full display at Steve Madden, 32 Main St. The store will also house an exclusive collab of tote bags, baseball hats, notebooks and teacups with French artist Thomas Lélu.

Henry Lehr has been growing since the ’70s, and the latest shop at 102 Main St. has a mix of casual but stylish wares. Think cottons, denims, cashmeres and silks, both muted and colorful, from a wide range of labels including Frank and Eileen and Hartford.  

Whether you are feeling queasy on the water, or your pup looks queasy, issues arise for humans and pets on board. Dock Docs has launched at 1 Bay St., by the marina, selling first aid kits, human and canine lifejackets and acupressure sea bands. The medical group will also send MDs and veterinarians straight to your vessel 24/7, armed with doctor bags and ready to treat most ailments. 

Swedish candy company BonBon opened at 11 Washington St., with more than just fish, though they do have plenty of those, including a sour elderflower variety. Sample the sweet and sour gluten-free mix, fizzy cherries, and vegan salty licorice twists. Pippi Longstocking books and wigs are part of the fun. 

Fancy a cappuccino while you browse the racks? Sage and Madison, a bucolic garden-and-coffee-shop hybrid at 31 Madison St., will have a slew of new designers taking over its barn this summer, including Joey Wölffer, Nicole Miller and Rebecca Taylor. 

SAGAPONACK

Nostalgia fans will be in heaven visiting the reimagined Sagaponack General Store at 542 Sagg Main St. The emporium first opened in 1878 but has been closed since 2020. Mindy Gray purchased the building and resurrected it, restoring antiques from the original space and adding a modern barn-style floor-to-ceiling window in the back, overlooking farm fields. The emphasis is on local purveyors, and the in-house kitchen whips up soups, salads, rotisserie chicken, sandwiches and pastries. Kids will love the penny candy and frozen yogurt, as well as hives out back that produce the store’s honey. General Store hats, sweatshirts and other merch are on trend. 

EAST HAMPTON 

Need to pick up a last minute frock? The one-time tire shop by the train station at 9 Railroad Ave. is morphing into Odeum. Browse (and buy) the ready-to-wear, accessories, beauty, art, jewelry, and furniture from more than 70 brands. 

All-star alert! Tom Brady, who acquired a 50 percent stake in memorabilia company Cardvault, will attend the ribbon-cutting of its first New York location on May 22nd at 47 Newtown Lane. Apart from selling sports and Pokemon cards, the store has a lounge where you can meet like-minded collectors and trade your best base sets.   

A macramé dress, shirt and shorts, and the Hamptons Rosso Ancora tote are all exclusive to the East Hampton Gucci store at 17 Newtown Lane, where last year’s azure blue has been replaced by sunshine and citrus hues. The Bamboo 1947 bag featured in White Lotus can be sourced here, along with a cute skirt from the new tennis line and raffia flats from the Lido beach collection. And, of course, classic 1953 loafers.

Whether you are jogging to the beach or home watching TV, Madhappy has comfy sweats to kick back in at its new 58 Park Place digs. The company has its own logo hoodies, but sports fans might prefer something from the MLB collab. 

Searching for a stunning teak chaise lounge or warming fire table? A new concept store, RH Outdoor, is opening in June, fully dedicated to the brand’s porch-worthy pieces. No worries if you don’t have a knack for arranging – design services are also offered. 

Purists will have a field day at Farm and Forage Market, newly opened at 58 Park Place. Homemade leek and zucchini detox soup, or tuna salad made with Mediterranean fish and avocado mayonnaise are standouts, and vegan cheese is a perfect topping for gluten-free bread. There is a shelf of vinegars and oils — no seed, of course — plus caviar, truffles and brownies for those who want to splurge. 

Submariners and Daytonas will have their own home in a historic house with a deck and garden when the Rolex Boutique opens in August at 28 Newtown Lane. The elegant shop, which will have a lounge and high level of hospitality, is owned by London Jewelers, the brand’s exclusive distributor on the East End. 

There’s a new go-to for summer classics including white eyelet dresses, linen pants and cotton oxford shirts now that Frank and Eileen has opened within the Henry Lehr shop at 16 Newtown Lane in East Hampton. The brand, a favorite of Oprah Winfrey, Angelina Jolie, Meghan Markle, Julianne Moore and Reese Witherspoon, will have a three-year pop-up. 

MONTAUK

The Montauk Yacht Club has seriously upped its beauty offering this summer by inviting luxury brand Sisley Paris to transform the resort’s bi-level seaside cabanas into treatment rooms. An upper lounge, meanwhile, boasts water views. And don’t stress if you’ve left something from your toiletries kit at home. There will also be a retail boutique with a selection of Sisley’s plant-based skincare, makeup and haircare products.

Beauty aficionados can also go to town at Glass Collective, 801 Montauk Highway, where shelves are lined with cosmetic goodies like Greek yoghurt foaming cleanser from Korres, Aqua de Parma fragrances, Mason Pearson brushes and Vacation sunscreen.
