The season’s best buys include covetable new lines and jewelry pieces that are perfect for the East End.
TASTE THE RAINBOW
Tamara Comolli, purveyor of kaleidoscope-like gemmed baubles, has upped the ante on her fine jewelry. In celebration of her eponymous label’s 25th anniversary, Comolli has created the limited-edition Mikado Flamenco Candy bracelet in rose gold, the ultimate adornment for a summer party.

A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN
L’objet’s Elad Yifrach and Figue’s Stephanie von Watzdorf partnered up this summer for a chic one-stop shop. East Enders can indulge in Figue’s handmade sandals, printed beachwear, and embellished favorites, from tunics and dresses to totes. Combined with the sculptural and organic designs of L’objet’s newest line, Tulum, they’re the perfect pairing for that jet-setting escape. 9 Main St., Southampton, 631-2592644; l-objet.com; figue.com
SECOND TIME AROUND
Known for its easy luxe pieces for East End living, Big Flower is introducing some major upgrades to its already established Hamptons locale for its second year in business. For example, the debut Little
Flower collection for boys features swim trunks and linen shirts reminiscent of the men’s collection. Also, the company now has exclusive table-tennis paddles for the ideal game night, and a women’s jewelry collection of unique, hand-beaded pieces with natural stones. It’s a win-win for the quintessential beach lifestyle. 23 Newtown Lane, East Hampton, 631-6045620; bigflower.com
SURF CITY
Menswear designer Todd Snyder is partnering with famed surf brand Birdwell Beach Britches to create an exclusive capsule collection for the summer season. Most notable are the board shorts, all of which are handmade in the US. They come in a range of unexpected yet subtly graphic color combinations, such as navy with black and forest green with denim blue, merging the modernity of city living with the elegant ease of the East End.

BETH KNOWS BEST
“For me, summer style has to be easy, effortless, and fun,” says Beth Buccini, founder of Kirna Zabête. With this mind-set, she has curated the season’s hottest exclusives at the now year-round locale. The store stocks a Rosie Assoulin strapless navy dress, hats from House of Lafayette, and an off-theshoulder printed dress courtesy of Saloni. What’s more, Kirna Zabête presents area designers such as Heimat Atlantica and Her, introducing looks worthy enough to don all season long. 66 Newtown Lane, East Hampton, 631-527-5794; kirnazabete.com
