Stephanie Nass Held Beachside Paella Dinner With Leatherology

Chef, hostess, and culinary creator of Chefanie, Stephanie Nass, welcomed Leatherology co-founder David Liu to the Hamptons for an intimate beachside bonfire and seated paella dinner to celebrate the summer season in East Hampton. The evening celebration took place on Thursday, July 20, at Georgica Beach.

Leatherology was founded in 2008 by David Liu and his sister, Rae Liu. The brand is known for its comprehensive range of personalization options, including brightly colored hand-painted monograms and custom stitched, made-to-order trapunto initials, available on a wide range of leather accessories.

Nass, known for her impeccable hostessing skills, was inspired to create an evening reminiscent of summer travel to coastal destinations, while highlighting different ways to cook on the beach. As guests arrived down the beach path towards the flickering lights of the bonfire, they were escorted to a personalization experience featuring Leatherology’s Harwood collection. The focus of the evening was on the Harwood Weekender, Leatherology’s most popular travel bag.

Guests in attendance included Casey Fremont, Elizabeth Kurpis, Anastasia Ganias, Christy Doramus, Jamie Chandlee, Katie Kime, Ari Ackerman, Christie Grimm, Annelise Peterson, Rachel DaLaoche Williams and Violet Gaynor, and Sophie Elgort.
