Bridgehampton, N.Y. -- Garnet Hill, the online and catalog retailer, is inching closer to brick-and-mortar.
The 39-year-old company is set to open its first physical store, a pop-up location in the tony Long Island town of Bridgehampton, New York. The store is designed to give customer a "touch and feel" experience for Garnet Hill’s merchandise.
The store will feature Garnet Hill's bedding and home decor lines, as well as an edited set of customer favorites in sleepwear and apparel. It will also see new products curated to appeal specifically to the summer community.
"We've put a lot of thought and care into our premiere store's design and location. And Bridgehampton – with a charming downtown that is both low-key and a destination for home design resources – felt like a perfect fit for us," said Garnet Hill president and CEO Claire Spofford.
Located at the center of Bridgehampton's downtown district, the 1,700-sq.-ft. store was designed by New York-based creative consultancy and design firm Aesthetic Movement. Envisioned as a hallmark of the Garnet Hill spirit, it has an interior that juxtaposes the simplicity of the company's New England roots with the comforts and coziness of the modern coastal lifestyle.
