Gucci, the prestigious Italian luxury brand, has announced its permanent return to the Hamptons with the opening of a new store in East Hampton, New York. This decision comes on the heels of the brand’s successful pop-ups in recent years, showcasing its popularity and demand in the area. The new boutique, located at 17 Newtown Lane, East Hampton, spans two floors and occupies a spacious 2,000 square feet, providing ample room to showcase Gucci’s expansive product range.
The store’s design exudes a harmonious blend of traditional and modern elements, seamlessly integrating it with the East Hampton landscape. From aqua-toned moiré walls to exquisite hand-stained wood flooring, every detail has been meticulously crafted to create a contemporary and eclectic atmosphere. The luxurious ambiance is further enhanced by velvet armchairs, polished nickel and aged brass fixtures, Gucci Décor paneled screens, and wicker accents.
Gucci holds a deep connection to the Hamptons, cherishing its rich history and culture. In 2020, the brand hosted a lively caravan at the beloved East Hampton spot, Moby’s Market, showcasing its dedication to engaging with the local community. Furthermore, in 2019, Gucci collaborated with vintage store Melet Mercantile to establish a temporary retail outpost in Montauk, New York, further solidifying its relationship with the Hamptons. This new permanent store in East Hampton serves as a testament to Gucci’s enduring commitment to the area. Previously, the brand had a permanent location on Main Street, East Hampton from 2006 to 2009.
To commemorate the grand opening of the store, Gucci is launching an exclusive capsule collection. This limited-edition collection features bags and small leather goods, including an oversized tote, a drawstring bucket bag, and a rectangular zip pouch. All pieces in the capsule collection are meticulously crafted from an organic red and beige jacquard fabric, adorned with embroidered white “G” accents. Blue leather trim and a leather logo embossed with “The Hamptons” in gold add the perfect finishing touch.
With over 480 stores worldwide, Gucci remains a prominent figure in the luxury fashion industry. The brand’s presence continues to grow, with around 100 stores located in North America alone. The expansion into the Hamptons reflects Gucci’s commitment to providing customers with a truly luxurious and immersive shopping experience in exclusive destinations. The new store in East Hampton showcases Gucci’s iconic designs and collections, encapsulating the brand’s timeless elegance. With its distinctive fusion of tradition and modernity, the boutique is poised to become a sought-after destination for fashion enthusiasts in the Hamptons and beyond.
