Artisan ceramics. Hand-woven linens. Art Deco glassware. These items and more capture the spirit of relaxed East End living and are available through Bridgehampton-based Hamptons Blue.
The brand, which launched earlier this summer, curates a collection of homeware that offers a contemporary interpretation of American coastal esthetics. Inspired by English and European traditions that underpin American classic style, the offerings comprise items that feature thoughtful detailing and understated style.
Founders Dana Feller and Julie Rankin, longtime friends who for decades lived on either side of the Atlantic Ocean, say in a news release that their collection is “the culmination of a lifetime spent appreciating timeless design, fine craftsmanship and lived-in interiors.”
This August, Hamptons Blue will debut its first in-person presence at the Hamptons Classic Horse Show, featuring a pop-up space that brings the brand’s esthetic to life.
“Our homes are a mirror of our identity, shaping the way we experience life,” Rankin, a California native who brings over 20 years of experience in London’s art and interiors world, said in the news release.
“For me, this has always meant embracing simplicity, quiet tones, and thoughtful details. Blue and white have been consistent threads in my world — they evoke a sense of calm, nostalgia, and personal connection,” said Rankin, who brings her lifelong love of blue and white interiors to the collection.
The business partners chose each item in their collection with an eye toward craftsmanship and origin, that are both grounded in tradition yet made for modern living. In addition to luxurious linens, glass decanters and more, there is also acrylic drinkware and vintage-style placemats.
“This brand captures the essence of our journey, both present and future,” Feller, a long-time resident of the East End, said in the news release.
“It’s about appreciating the quiet beauty that exists in simplicity, finding warmth in the uncomplicated, and elevating everyday moments with subtle elegance,” she added.
