This summer, CURIO, the retail concept store located in the Faena District in Miami, founded by industry veterans Jeff Lasota and Danielle Licata, is partnering with Project Hamptons to launch its first-ever summer residency in the heart of Bridgehampton, located at 2183 Montauk Highway.
The Project Hamptons retail space spans 3,000 square feet indoors and 5,000 square feet outdoors. The goal is to bring luxury brands and retailers under one roof as a standalone shopping experience, complemented by pop-ups with other brands and designers, weekly trunk shows, runway shows, celebrity book signings, bi-monthly charitable events that benefit local charities and organizations, as well as daily fitness classes prior to opening hours.
“Our overall vision is to continue the joy we have brought to the Miami shopping scene with a new curation with a Hamptons twist, bringing men’s and women’s clothing you can rarely find or have only seen online into a physical space,” read a statement from Lasota and Licata.
The store’s brand roster will include over 100 men’s and women’s brands such as Byredo, Rosetta Getty, Merlette, MRK, Dolce & Gabbana, Silvia Tcherassi, Alberta Ferretti, Barrie, Etro, Bondi Born, Lug Von Siga, Borgo Du Nor, Three Graces London, Carolina K, The Mannei, Isabel Marant, Brandon Maxwell, Alemais, GiaBorghini, Michael Kors Collection, Cortana, Officine Generale, Orlebar Brown, Greg Lauren, Barena, Gul Hurgel, Freckenberger, Eres, and Adrianna Degreas.
CURIO has hosted previous weekend pop-ups with Topping Rose House and Casa Del Sol. “The Hamptons has been on our radar as our next growth stepping stone since our Miami opening in 2019, and has been a recurring request of some of our top shoppers,” said the co-owners.
“We are ensuring this curation will be a mix of brands and products that speak to the Hamptons women and men with a range that can take you day to night – ‘pool to party’.”
CURIO is partnering with Michael Catalano and Toni DeMauro, co-founders of Project Hamptons, who will operate and activate the space.
“We are thrilled to partner with Jeff and Danielle to introduce CURIO at Project Hamptons. The mission of Project Hamptons is to combine luxury retail with a series of entertaining shopping experiences for the consumer and the local community,” said Catalano.
